The Full Moon occurs at 24 degrees Gemini, lighting up the themes of communication, learning/teaching, and most profoundly, the balance of the mind/heart/body/spirit. According to Stephanie, in cosmic consciousness Gemini represents the transcendence of duality. Stephanie writes, “Main Purpose (of Gemini): Where you allow Love and only Love to motivate everything you do, thereby achieving transcendence of duality.”
What, then, can we make of this lunation? Quite simply, it’s an opportunity to complete a cycle of fear-based thinking/acting (thoughts lead to emotions which lead to actions). It’s a time where we can consciously choose to function from a place of love instead of fear or lack. It’s a time to be in the observer’s perspective and get a wider view.
Neptune in Pisces is forming an intersection with the Moon and the Sun, so this lends an incredibly spiritual, watery feel to this very Mercurial Moon. I say “Mercurial Moon” because the Moon is disposed by Mercury, who is stationing to go direct at 6 Sagittarius. (More on that below.)  The dreamy vibe from Neptune can be agitating against the air and fire from the Gemini/Sagittarius energies but more importantly, there is the opportunity for balance. Remember how the theme of Gemini is balance; to transcend duality? How can you balance Mind (Gemini), Spirit (Neptune/Pisces), Emotions (Moon), and our personality (Sun)? Â
The Moon is in resource with Chiron and in intimacy with Uranus, so the Sun is manifesting with Chiron and forming a great eliminator with Uranus. Our wounds are more subtle this time, gently informing us but not overpowering with pain. Uranus may offer insights or jolts that enlighten us regarding what we need to release. Remember that full moons are times of completion. Sagittarius energy is physical, and according to Stephanie, the main purpose of Sag is “where we resolve the habits that keep you from evolving.”  This energy is ripe for releasing old patterns and creating upgrades!
Mercury is forming a lot of harmonious aspects: Manifesting with Mars and the Soul Star Chakra (North Node), forming resources with Venus, Ceres, and the Earth Chakra (S. Node).  Sometimes when Mercury stations is can be disorienting, so be gentle with yourself and don’t push mentally. These aspects all the energy to flow, so allow for that energy.
Jupiter, who is disposing the Sun right now, is forming a stepping stone with Saturn. Orcus, Juno and Astraea are also forming aspects with Saturn and Jupiter, with Jupiter creating an intersection between Saturn and Orcus, and Juno/Astraea manifesting with Saturn and creating a great eliminator with Jupiter. Orcus was active in the last Full Moon as Saturn was stationing direct so this is a continuation of a theme. Our inner guru (Saturn), knows what to do; Saturn is the Executive Director. “Executive functioning skills” is a term that is prevalent these days, and that is very Saturnian. Saturn governs our discipline…our ability to get things done. He connects us to our ability to find habits and structures that support our highest good.  So again we have an aspect that supports releasing habits and structures that do no support our soul’s mission and making room for upgrades to our routines. Â
With Juno and Astraea, we are called to commit (Juno) to what is balanced (Astraea). There is that word, “balance” again. The manifestation with Saturn means the necessary discipline will feel natural. The great eliminator with Jupiter may make it very obvious what needs to be eliminated. Jupiter is expansive, and honestly, not always gentle. But rest assured, whatever shows up is for our highest good. Jupiter in Gemini likely may highlight thought patterns that are keeping us stuck in fear-based consciousness. Simultaneously, keep in mind that Saturn is in Pisces, so this may be a spiritual discipline that we are called towards- meditation, kundalini yoga, nature walks, etc.  This is about balancing the external thought world with our spiritual world, and then taking aligned action from that balance point. Â
It’s amazing how all the aspects support the overarching theme of this Full Moon! Our marching orders form the cosmos are clear. Taking time to get clear about where we want to go, how we want to get there, and what is holding us back would probably be useful at this time.
In peace,
Cari
