On December 15th we have a full moon at 23 degrees in Gemini.
The Full Moon in Gemini highlights the dynamic interaction of the Gemini-Sagittarius axis, where the Moon is in Gemini and the Sun is in Sagittarius. The Sun and Moon have different goals, but in this tension lies the potential for a new, higher perspective or understanding.
What is Sagittarius? What we believe in. Our “truth, our value system” or what makes sense to us. What is Gemini? Actual, ever-changing reality. The facts. What we actually do. That is why we are in conflict and mental discomfort with ourselves and with our desires, moving between truth and reality. We want one thing, and knowingly do another. Why? Because we worry that we won’t succeed or that we have to put in a lot of effort and we don’t know if it’s worth it.
Moon and Sun aspects give us a more accurate explanation of why we feel the way we do. Apart from these two being in opposition, we also have several other factors that cause us to be out of balance.
The Moon makes a square (difficult aspect) with Neptune, the planet of dreams, illusions, makes us fly in the skies, be dreamers.
The Sun squares Saturn, the planet of responsibility, discipline and serious work. The Sun is in conjunction, very close to Jupiter, planet of luck and abundance, of making our dreams come true.
Hence our confusion. Whether to chase our dreams and believe that we will have what we want or stay where we are because of the fear that we might not succeed. And this contradiction creates a conflict within us that we are trying to resolve now, during the full moon in Gemini. We have a choice, but it leads to a change in our beliefs.
Neptune adds fog, unknowns, or a flurry of options. Which one should we choose?
Is there a magic solution? Yes, what we dream is not far, it is possible. Yes, we have opportunities and we can make them happen, with the help of Jupiter in Gemini. However, Saturn requires a serious plan, structure and serious work. Are we ready to roll up our sleeves and work towards our dreams, something close to our heart or something higher?
If we look realistically, Mercury ruling Gemini is still retrograde, tomorrow it will go forward, we have brakes, we need to think carefully about the plan. Jupiter gives us optimism, but it is also retrograde, until February 4, 2025.
This combination of conflicting energies creates an atmosphere where clarity seems elusive and every option seems both promising and uncertain.
Are things really as they seem? Should we take advantage of this opportunity? We extend our hands. What is best for us?
The root cause of our paralysis? Fear of making the wrong choice. This fear of reality often leads to an escape from it-Neptune approachес-alcohol, drugs or simply, we live in our taken-for-granted world of dreams, but we don’t make the right decision. That’s why we sometimes run away from work and responsibilities (Saturn) and we have it easier with Neptune, looking for a magical or unconscious way out, projecting our desires on fantasies instead of grounding them in reality.
The dream job, the knight on the white horse, the magic supplement that will solve all my health problems – the shiny object – are not necessarily an expression of Neptune’s illusion or delusion, but rather our escape from Saturn’s hard work.
Understanding these dynamics can help us distinguish between our planned desires and the real opportunities that Neptune offers us. Don’t think it’s impossible. Yes, we can have what we dream, but we must have a plan, work hard and be consistent and dedicated to that plan. Our fantasy can become reality. Yet the possibilities offered by Neptune are real, not a play on words.
If we believe in this higher intelligence – if we trust the unfolding process – then perhaps we can look at these changes in plans, these temporary interruptions not as inconveniences – but as gentle nudges from the universe to pursue something different, something that is more aligned with our higher purpose.
On a full moon in Gemini, pick up your phone. Read this billboard ad. Pay attention to the small, seemingly irrelevant details that may initially seem to disrupt your plans. Allow the magic of opportunity to enter your life. It may take time, sometimes 5-6 months, but if we work on it, we have a chance.
These Gemini Full Moon options can be ‘illusion syndrome, they can also be unreal possibilities – ones that may not initially seem like what we thought we wanted, but turn out to be exactly what we need to move forward. Sometimes what seems like an illusion can be even better than the real thing.
This Christmas, this New Year, believe in the magic, chase and work towards your dreams.
