Working with the Full Moon in Gemini

This morning at 7:15am the moon went full in the sign of Gemini. There is no Void of Course today and Mercury has gone direct again so, the door is open to a Full Moon Ritual that will help you get the clarity you need to make adjustments to your New Moon wishes that were made back at the end of November.

Gemini is the sign of communication and communication is key. Gemini is ruled by the quick-witted Mercury who could talk his way out of any situation. The energy of Gemini is quick, intelligent, curious and cheerful. Gemini's mind is always 'on' and they always feel the need to have a lot going on, and even when they overcommit themselves, they are still in their element, if somewhat frazzled. Geminis can also be impulsive, impatient and have short attention spans. This means that things may be forgotten. people may be overlooked and projects may be unfinished. It can be an energy where you find it hard to concentrate. So, the energy on this Full Moon is changeable and fickle.

If you've read anything else I've posted about Full Moons, you will know that the Full Moon is about surrender and release. This Full Moon would be a good time to reflect on your past actions. Have you been superficial? Have you trodden on someone's feelings? Are you being too impulsive or a silver-tongued trickster? If you answered yes to any of these, then maybe it's time to slow down and start being authentic with others and yourself. You also need to ask yourself if you have contributed to your learning by reading any interesting books as this comes under a Gemini moon as well. Let go of instant gratification, be prepared to take the time to do, or learn something thoroughly.

I want to talk about Moonology™ Readings for a moment and how they can be used during your Full Moon and New Moon Rituals. If you have a Moonology™ Reading, you will not only be able to use the information I have given you above but also drill deeper into your birth chart to see which house Gemini is in. This will give you more information about what area of your life will be most affected by this Full Moon. If we take my birth chart as an example, I know that Gemini is in my Fourth House which is all about home and family; where I feel I belong; emotional foundations and being settled. So I know that these things will be more likely to be triggered at this time and that I should pay attention to my need for privacy and space, as well as what my family needs from me. So, I would look at whether I have been neglecting family responsibilities or neglecting my "me" time and how I can bring that back into balance. Because it's a Full Moon I could also work on releasing any issues I have with family or a particular family member and how I can resolve the situation and move forward. It is also a good time for me to look at the balance between my responsibilities at home versus my career. And if I am feeling unsettled, it could quite possibly be a good time to look at where I live and would I be better off moving somewhere else. Do you see how much deeper you can go when you have your Moonology™ Reading to refer back to? If you have the 12-month planner, then by the end of the year you will have touched on every area of your life.

Other planetary aspects you need to be aware of on this Full Moon are:

• Mercury, the planet of communication is trine with Jupiter, the planet of expansion. This is an easy flowing energy that means we will be feeling a lot more confident emotionally. We will more likely believe that anything is possible today.

• Mars, the planet of energy is also in trine with Chiron, the Wounded Healer, so there is a greater likelihood that you will be able to take action on issues that have been hidden (trauma, etc). This could be something from your childhood and could lead to a deep healing.

• Jupiter is also in trine with Saturn, the planet of restrictions and structure, so whilst you may be feeling really optimistic, it would be wise to reign it in a little and be a bit more practical.

• Jupiter also squares with Chiron, so this tells us that any healing we go through will likely involve a struggle and that's okay. We are being called to have more faith in ourselves, rather than the more traditional things we have faith in like religion, etc.

• Uranus, the planet of revolution is sextile with Neptune, the planet of inspiration and faith which means there is a real chance of having a breakthrough in the areas of creativity, spirituality and compassion for mankind.

Lastly, I drew a card for you all asking how best the Collective can use the energy of this Full Moon in Gemini. The card I drew is Cardinal Moon - Be bold and make the first move. So this card is encouraging you to make the first move, to really assert yourself in regards to the things you want to manifest. Are you bold enough to take action? If not, maybe you don't want things as much as you think you do. Now is not the time to be passive. Follow your heart and your emotions, but don't be reckless or impulsive (that Gemini energy).

If you use Deities in your practice, then now would be a good time to ask Ganesha, the Hindu elephant god for help in removing any obstacles you may come across. A good chant to do in reverence to Ganesha is "Om Gum Ganapatayei Namaha". Repeat at least three times, then sit in silence to see if you hear any messages come through about the steps you need to take.

If you're not into chanting in Sanskrit, you can use the affirmation, "I am taking charge of my destiny!" as a mantra, repeating it over and over to yourself anytime you think of it.

So that's it for this Full Moon. I really hope you take some time out today to think about what you need to release and surrender, including any New Moon wishes that you don't think you want anymore . Remember no one can do the work for you. It's really important that you realise that what you think about you bring about, so be really mindful of what you think and how you talk to yourself and others. This is going to become even more pertinent in 2026.

Until next time...
