Dear ones, we are just about to welcome in the final full moon of 2021 - the Full Moon in Gemini. The moon will turn full on Sunday 19th December at 04:35am(gmt). The moon before Yule is a very powerful and potent full moon because it shines during the darkest time of the year. Solar energy is at it's weakest and Lunar energy is at it's most powerful. This is a wonderful time to honour the lunar energies of reflection, intuition, receiving and tuning into your deepest inner knowing. Allow the abundant light of the moon to shine down all that you are grateful for this year. With the Solstice just a few days away, this is a really wonderful time to start closing down your year. Dedicate some important time for journaling about all that has taken place this year. What are the blessings and teachings from this year? What are you still holding on to that needs to be released or forgiven? This full moon is also called The Cold Moon, The Long Night Moon and the Oak Moon. For this full moon we will have the sun in the fire sign of Sagittarius and the moon in the air sign Gemini - both are masculine signs and both are to do with the mind. Both Sagittarius and Gemini are inquisitive, curious and mentally expansive. Gemini also rules communication so it’s interesting here to work with combining the philosopher archetype of Sagittarius with the ability to communicate our ideas out into the world. A key theme for Gemini is truth and honest communication and sometimes that communication can be to do with how we view ourselves, the conversations we’re having with ourselves and whether or not we’re being honest. When the full moon is out, there’s nowhere to hide, this can be a powerful time for looking inwards and asking these questions. On Gemini moon days it’s easy to get caught up in our thoughts, Gemini has a mercurial energy to it which can leave us feeling ungrounded and mentally overwhelmed, add this to the busyness of the lead up to Christmas and hello frazzled mind. It’s a really good idea on Gemini moon days to bring ourselves back into our body and do things that will calm and focus the mind. Think of the idea of using the arrow and focus of Sagittarius to focus the somewhat flighty tendencies of Gemini. Using practices such as Yoga Nidra, guided meditations and gentle yoga can be really helpful for slowing the mind down. Also, when it comes to tackling Christmas tasks, try to focus on one thing at a time, write lists or use a bullet journal to give yourself the satisfaction of ticking things off. Try not to flit from one unfinished task to the other, just like leaving loads of tabs open and programmes running on your computer slows it down, it’s the same for our mind too. The combination of Sagittarius and Gemini can also lead us to get over excited about new ideas and ventures, so check-in with yourself honestly about whether or not you’re taking on too much. Can some things wait? Are you honouring the season of winter and the need to rest? Sometimes it can be so hard with all the pressures of social media to not want to jump into. new things straight away, one of my favourite quotes is “Do less, be more” - can we let go and soften a little bit and pick up the pace again in Spring? Or is our gut telling us that now really is the right time? Only you can know.
This full moon is a wonderful time to combine the elements of Air and Fire - air for Gemini and Fire for Sagittarius. How could you use the creative element of air to stoke the flames of your inner hearth fire? These few days around the full moon would also be a great time for vision boarding for 2022. Wishing you all a blessed Full Moon!
