Gemini Full Moon

Sunday inspiration from Albert Einstein for this Gemini Full Moon

artist unknown?

The Gemini Full Moon culminates tomorrow (November 27th) at 4:16 am EST/9:16 am UTC.  You may know that the Full Moon is the midpoint of the lunar cycle which waxes and wanes each month in the dance between Sun and Moon, stirring the ocean tides and the tides of our own emotions.

The Full Moon takes us through the experiences of the zodiac just as the Sun does, but the Moon is opposite the Sun when it is full and we have an opportunity to balance the zodiacal polarities. […]

Planetary news this week, and catching up:

As many of you know, I took a bit of a writing sabbatical this fall. I expected it to last through the end of the year, but I found I was eager to get back to my life as planetary oracle. Staying closely tied to the movement of the planets is a more powerful support to me than I thought, and if I only learned this one thing in my sabbatical it was well worth it!

There have been no major planetary alignments during this time which made it easier to […]

Planetary news this week: A Mars-y Gemini Full Moon

Astrological update for the week of December 5-12, 2022

artist unknown?

I don’t know about you, but the past few weeks have felt very much like Mercury retrograde, with lots of glitches and communication breakdowns. There’s a reason for that: Mars is retrograde in Mercury-ruled Gemini. Because of this retrograde phase, Mars will have been in Gemini for seven months and you can read more about that here. In Gemini, Mars inspires quick and rapid-fire thinking and communication, and we often speak without considering the ramifications of what we […]

Sunday inspiration for the Gemini Full Moon

The energies of yesterday’s Gemini Full Moon still linger, and the longing to fill our lives with new experiences is one theme that can be experienced under this Full Moon.  With yet another Covid variant exerting pressure and compression just as the final-ish phase of the Saturn/Uranus square takes place this month it is tempting to despair as the world seems to close in.  But hidden in the small spaces are nuggets of opportunities to find tiny joys that can change our lives.

A friend posted this quote on Facebook and it echoes this […]

Astrological update for the week of December 13-20, 2021: So much going on!

There’s way too much going on this week for a snappy heading! So I’m just going to dive right in.

Venus/Pluto conjunction.  Venus and Pluto conjoined last week and Venus is virtually stationary as she prepares to turn retrograde on Sunday December 19th, so this aspect will continue really until the end of December. when Venus begins to retrograde away from Pluto.  This is a potent combination which has the potential to create deep transformation in our self-esteem as well as our interpersonal connections. Venus is in Capricorn where we tend to have a […]

The offering of the lunar eclipse on November 30, 2020

photo by Mohammad Taher Pilevar on SpaceWeather

The Gemini Full Moon on November 30th (at 4:29 am EST) is also a penumbral lunar eclipse.  A lunation (New or Full Moon) becomes an eclipse when it is adjacent to the lunar nodes (the crossing points of the path of the Moon over the path of the Sun), and the closer the lunation is to the nodes, the more total the eclipse is and the more intense the fated quality of the eclipse will be.  The lunar nodes are […]

Astrological update for the week of November 23, 2020 including lunar eclipse!

This week we have Neptune turning direct and the first of a pair of eclipses with the lunar eclipse at the Gemini Full Moon.  I talk a little about the election even though I tried not to, and give you a run down of what you can expect throughout the week.  I started including time codes in the video so please let me know if you find them useful!  I’m also curious about how relevant people find the charts sprinkled through.  Transcript as always is below the promo stuff.

For political commentary follow me on Twitter and […]

Planetary news this week! A Full Moon on 12/12 at 12:12!

There is lots to unpack this week!  Grab something to drink and let’s get started.

First, the challenging square aspect between Jupiter’s expansion and Chiron’s pressure to squeeze out the pain from old wounds for release is on the wane.  If this has affected you personally, either emotionally or physically, you may find you feel better this week.  Chiron, having been retrograde since July, is stationary in the sky as it prepares to turn direct this week so its energies promoting healing of old wounds is intensified now.

Then Mercury, planet of the mind […]

Thanksgiving Gemini full moon makes everything possible

The Sun enters Sagittarius on the 22nd, ending the Scorpio season and beginning the festivities of the holiday season, and the Sagittarius season begins with a Full Moon on the 23rd at the very first degree of Gemini opposite the Sagittarius Sun.  The Gemini/Sag polarity is all about collecting and assimilating information – this is a time to open the mind and see what drops into it.  It’s time to keep an open mind, and prepare for an awakening and a shift in belief systems where necessary.

Gemini is the trickster – […]

Gemini Full Moon December 17: Ascending to Higher Mind

Art by Laura Barbosa Art by Laura Barbosa

The Moon will be full in Gemini on the 17th, expanding our minds and filling us with curiosity and a yearning to understand life’s secrets.

Every Full Moon contains a polarity within it, and while polarities are opposites they always have something in common that links them together.  Gemini and Sagittarius are the most similar of the six astrological polarities – both are concerned with knowledge although they each have a different approach.  Gemini is hungry to learn as much as possible about […]
