Gemini full moon illumination:

‘I am not my thoughts which are fleeting, I remain curious, I release stagnant mindsets’

The last full moon of 2021. Congratulations for making it this far in one of the most bizarre years I have experienced yet.

This full moon has a big energy, with the sun in the closing degrees of Sagittarius in communion with Jupiter who is also trining the moon.

Especially as we lead up to the final exact Saturn Uranus square on the 23/24th of December (1º away currently), which is the last pass of these two archetypes squaring off around foundations, structure, governance vs freedom, non-conformism, activism and evolution. They come close again in 2022 but it's not an exact meetup so there will be echos of what we have traversed this year, however overall very different.

The Sun in Sagittarius is yearning for it’s full potential of enjoyment and adventure to be expressed. The moon in Gemini wants connection, conversation and mental stimulation, both expanded by Jupiter. No doubt the themes of connection and domestic travel are at the forefront of many minds right now, and there are waves of intensity that will be brought to the surface by the brightness of the Gemini full moon around the possibilities.

We currently navigate who can/is/able to meet/connect/converse, and what types of conversations will be had based on a full year’s worth of experience? Can we turn away from the past if talk or perceptions stagnate and shift conversations to what we dream of moving forward? Follow what feels alive and inspiring and keep this as your mantra.

I want to mention that it’s perfectly ok to not feel festive, it’s been a big year and this time of year alone can bring up a lot of stuff. So go gentle and find joy in the little things, with the all importance of balance.

As for me on a personal note, I am content but tired. I miss my family and it is still unknown when I can see them, which just seems absolutely insane. But I can sense something on the other side which keeps curiosity high and inspiration flowing.

What a ride it has been, thank you for being here and sharing it with us.

Full Moon Gemini at 27° 28’

Astrologer Colin Bedell says:

I always appreciated how Gemini is the introduction of humanity and humanity appears in connection as the sign of the twins. Seeing “Gemini” symbolically, we can simply say - none of us are meant to do “this” alone. Seeing humanity scientifically, we are neurobiologically hardwired for connection. We’re a social species. We thrive in the presence of meaningful belonging. In the absence of connection, there is significant cardiovascular and cognitive decline.

This Full Moon’s Moonthly theme helps us remain curious - which is the prerequisite for connection - and also release stagnant mindsets. Just the day after the Full Moon in Gemini, relational Venus turns retrograde in Capricorn until January 29th 2022. And so let us consider the instruction of the Full Moon in preparation for that. So let us situate the stagnant mindsets we have that prevent meaningful connection with others. First, we can strike the absolutes from our repertoire entirely; they always, they never. Then we can liberate ourselves from a mindset that sees ourselves and others as one-dimensional. Since two is Gemini’s magic number and perhaps even the third space between. Given the dangerous polarization in our culture today which thrives off us seeing humanity as one-dimensional - “I’m right, you’re not. Shut up.” - let us curiously commit to seeing others as multidimensional beings.

This is a Gemini influenced perception because the Gemini story is a love story. Between two fraternal twins. So right here, we have a theme of: connection across contrast. Connection with “the other”. And their story holds the three most common relational stages: harmony, disharmony, repair. The twins lost sight of one another and then they reunited in the Gemini constellations above us until time fades into eternity. Now how do we repair? How do we reunite under the Full Moon in Gemini? We begin by catching thoughts which increase polarization and one-dimensional analysis so we can choose different ones entirely. Then, we harness the best of Gemini mutable air energy and see our dialogic skills as a prerequisite for connection. We can begin to find our way back to each other in a dialogic conversation by making sure we frame fifty percent of our communication with others as an open-ended question. That’s right! It’s as easy and different as that.

The Moonthly theme is here to help too. We remain curious to “the other” the people across contrast by giving voice to our curiosities. Even if, especially if - we might disagree. Gemini teaches us that the determiner of a conversation’s success is not necessarily agreement, but understanding. We ask questions to understand. We connect through questions. We bond through twin mirroring and say. “So you feel (insert emotion here) about (topic) because (what the speaker just said); is that right?” And if others feel understood by us, they’re less likely to react defensively and more open to accepting influence. Nonviolent communication reminds us that words are windows not walls. Let us use our words as windows to see, know, and connect with others.
