Full Moon in Gemini

Gemini is usually thought of as a fast moving, light and airy sign; not too serious about anything yet always interested in everything. Though this is the Full Moon of open-mindedness, the Mars/Venus conjunction in Scorpio seeks truth in a deeply transformative way. So though the Gemini Full Moon generally makes us want to race down the highway of diversity and pluralism, with Sun, Mercury (communication) and Pluto (truth seeking) in Sagittarius (belief in government and/or religion) that road seems paved with the wet, sticky tar of towing the "company" line. The Full Moon in Gemini is supposed to be a time of freely speaking one's mind; but this is quite a challenge with Venus and Mars conjunct in Scorpio, bringing up fear of intimidation and feelings of powerlessness. Freedom has never seemed more threatened. Thankfully, the Venus/Mars conjunction is trine Uranus (the rebel) in Pisces (the peacemaker) which is square both Sun and Moon. So no matter how much we might feel intimidated, fighting (Mars) for truth (Scorpio) with an open heart (Venus) is the best way to rise above fear and freely speak (Moon in Gemini) one's mind to the powers (Sun in Sagittarius) that be.

So in the playful spirit of the Full Moon in Gemini, let's look fear straight in the eye and play with the possibility of changing our fixed ideas. Since Full Moons are celebratory events, it's a great time for a party. Invite a wide-ranging group of people and let them experience a diverse set of opinions and ideas while having fun! (I know you are all thinking, we are so divided and polarized!) Well, Gemini likes the lighter side of things. So you can stick to a party centered on networking. Or be a bit more daring and create and event to share and expand knowledge. Think about giving a teach-in on a subject you wish to learn more about. Show an informative video or invite a live speaker. But above all, be social. Don't sit home in isolation.

Many of us will be with family… and that can be a minefield even in the best of times. So make use of Sun, Pluto and Mercury all posited in generous and joyful Sagittarius. You may end up having more fun than you think! Use the holiday to gather with the elders in your family and document their stories on audiotape or video. Go through old family albums and label people, places, and events. Gemini loves to soak in information and then find a way to output it with its own unique spin. This could be the beginning of documenting your family history.

The Gemini Full Moon is a great night to go through Christmas decorations or get busy making Yule logs for Solstice. Use the openness of a Gemini Full Moon to talk back to tradition by being free flowing and inventive. So get creative and let your mind run wild! What a great night to bake cookies and make presents. Bring out the craft materials, paints, exotic fabrics, papers, beads, and turn your ritual into a gift creating party! I know our government is insisting that patriotism spells consumerism, but try giving something made from the heart, or in Gemini lingo "gift that really communicates who you are."

Gemini rules writing and information. This is a great night to share in public something you have been working on in secret. A Full Moon in Gemini helps us feel like trying anything. So take a chance and get out to an open-mike performance or poetry reading. For those of you who are bit more shy, share your songs and stories with loved ones. If you are far away from friends and family write that holiday, "I'll catch you up on everything that happened this year" letter or email. Make sure you get out and hang with some friends on this day. Don't sit home alone!

But no matter how you decide to experience this Full Moon in Gemini, with Sun, Pluto and Mercury in Sagittarius, we should all be having a lot of fun singing out our hearty expressions of gratefulness.
