Full Moon in Gemini
How this full moon will get you thinking...
This Full Moon in Gemini occurs at 2:16 am MST on November 27th at 4 degrees, and it is opposing the Sun in Sagittarius. Yay! We’ve moved out of Scorpio season and are now feeling the Sag energy.
The Sun in Sagittarius brings the energy of higher learning, discovering foreign things, and our belief systems. We might feel inspired to learn more about our own spirituality or religion and increase our faith. There might also be a need to travel to another country or do something adventurous!
Sagittarius energy also brings opportunity and the potential to expand our awareness. It rules philosophy, higher truth, and spiritual teachings.
So, how does this Full Moon affect us?
When we experience a Full Moon, it means the Moon is opposing the Sun, creating a bit of tension between what we feel on a soul level and what we feel on an emotional level. In astrology, the Sun represents our soul identity or true essence whereas the Moon represents the emotional and physical parts of ourselves.
As with everything in this world, there is a duality with a Full Moon. There is a light side and a shadow side of this energy that can reveal itself. Gemini governs communication, intellect, mental patterns, short-term travel, studying, and foreign information. It also rules self-expression, your personal story, writing, and curiosity.
Considering the Full Moon is at 4 degrees, a number that corresponds to the material realm and earthly matters, we are reminded to stay grounded and that what we say can manifest into our physical reality. It is a time to be observant of our own thoughts and what we are saying to ourselves and others because even if it is not true, the power of your thoughts and words could make it true. At the very least, it could cause confusion!
What is bottled up?
With a Full Moon in Gemini, you might feel an urge to release information that is affecting you emotionally. Is there something you need to get off your chest? Do you have some news you’d like to share? Gemini energy is quick and witty, so be careful in how you deliver these messages.
The same could be said about how you receive information. You might get some news or information that inspires you to question yourself or your personal reality. Be curious about it and let it sink in before you make a decision on how you feel about this information. Respond, don’t react.
Mercury (the planet of communication and intellect), which rules Gemini, is squaring Neptune (the planet of imagination and dreams) which could mean that the information you receive may be said to confuse you or cause illusions. What are the intentions of the person who is telling you this? Can you trust that what they’re telling you is the truth? Even if the information is not intended to cause confusion or delusion, it still very well could affect you in this way.
I’m not saying don’t believe what people have to say, but take it with a grain of salt. People could be highly emotional or overexaggerating in their own imagination. Some messages we’re receiving could also come from our dreams. Write them down and reflect on them. They might be able to symbolize some things in your waking life.
Mars (the planet of action and energy) is squaring Saturn (the planet of responsibility and boundaries) at this time, so keep this in mind for the next couple of days. This energy could lead to being impulsive in your communication and your decision-making. Again, slow down and take some time before you come to a conclusion about the information you receive or the information you’re about to give.
Self-Expression and Your Story.
We build up stories in our minds about who we are and what our life represents. This Full Moon could challenge our beliefs about ourselves and the reality we have created, causing us to rethink our mental patterns. Are your recurring thoughts creating the reality that you want? Is the information you’re sharing with others or that you’re receiving affirming or altering your personal story?
It’s important not to become attached to these stories we tell ourselves. We are ever-changing beings and we can break out of mental patterns that don’t serve us anymore or keep us blocked from moving forward in life. This might be a time when your perspective changes in the way that you express yourself. You might feel like rewriting a part of your personal story by letting something go from your past.
However, it’s also important not to let others influence your life in ways that you are not fully onboard with. This comes back to the possible delusion or believing something that may not be true. Make sure that the information and news you receive resonates with you.
Creativity & Travel.
A Full Moon in Gemini could bring about the need to travel somewhere that is not too far away but feels enough like an adventure to you. Exploration and curiosity could be expanded! Maybe you have a strong desire to learn a new language. Maybe you have been learning a new language but you’re just not feeling it anymore and are drawn to a new creative idea.
The Full Moon is a time of conclusion and release. A project or creative venture that you have started could be coming to an end, whether you’ve completed it fully, have a few more things to do, or are getting bored and want to quit. The shadow side of Gemini is boredom and wanting to move on to the next bright and shiny thing. So, you might feel distracted or bored with what you’re creating and let it go for the time being.
Other Planetary Influences.
Mercury is at a trine (harmonious aspect) with the North Node (destiny and learning path) which means that you might receive some messages or gain insights into what you need to master in this lifetime. For example, my North Node is in Scorpio (psyche, emotional healing, transformation, secrets, shared resources), so I could experience some information around this time that inspires me towards a deeper learning of these things.
Venus (the planet of relationships and values) and the South Node (comfort zone, what you’ve already mastered) are also sextile (opportunity aspect) with Mercury. This means that you could reconnect with people from past relationships, whether they were romantic or business partnerships. This brings an opportunity to communicate some things that may not have been possible before. Healing and new perspectives could come about from this communication, which in turn kind of rewrites your history.
Remember to keep in mind the shadow influences on this Full Moon though. Illusions, misinformation, and confusion could also come from these past connections and communication. Again, don’t be too quick to decide how this information or interaction affects you and your reality. Sit with it for a bit.
Collective Consciousness.
As a collective, we could come to the realization that the news and messages we receive through the media and television (tell-a-vision) are in fact not true. Have we been misinformed? This is a great time to be curious and expand your knowledge when it comes to the propaganda we are all exposed to and the scare tactics we experience from the media.
Mainstream news feeds you fear. It’s as simple as that. Are we being deceived and confused on purpose? Likely, but that is up to you to learn and study. We might not be seeing the bigger picture right now, but reflecting on this information will expand our viewpoint.
Main Takeaways.
Take it slow and digest the information you receive these next few days. If you need time to respond to someone because you want the information to sink in, be clear about that. Communication can be misleading or confusing or it could create a new perspective and break you free from unhealthy mental patterns or relationships.
Be careful with the words you speak, write, or text as well. Make sure the message you want to give is true and correct with good delivery. You don’t want to confuse people as well. Obviously, this could happen with simple things, like guiding someone onto the wrong exit of a highway, but that’s an easy fix. It’s the important conversations and news that you want to give that need to be thought through.
Maybe take a short trip out of town for the day (even just the city limits) and do something adventurous! Be creative and curious about anything new you want to learn while keeping in mind that you might not want to stick with it for long. That’s okay. If you feel drawn to learning a new skill or language, check it out!
Connecting with people from past relationships and talking about things could help you release perspectives or emotions around them. It could also mend a relationship dynamic so you can move forward and try again if that’s what you want.
Think about your story, your reality, and what you’re creating with your thoughts and words. Your imagination is powerful so you want to create with intention and with the correct information in mind.
