The Gemini Full Moon on December 17 is a party Moon. The Full Moon is a break from the intense growth and striving you have done. This year has required you to step up. Release what is not serving you. Embrace your authentic nature. Be in your full power. Time is accelerating. This year has flown by and so too will next year. The Gemini Full Moon says that it is time to celebrate your life. Celebrate your victories. Even the smallest of accomplishments are worth noting. When you focus on what is working in your life. This creates a current of positive energy. You are a magnet for good things to flow to you. You are irresistibly attractive. People will be drawn to you. People will want to know your secret for success. How are you Always Thriving?
You can tell them that it is your attitude of gratitude. Appreciation for life keeps you going. You value the challenges and the adversities. You see them as your teachers. You see the present as perfect. Things may not be as exactly the way you want it. However, you see the present as the perfect path to realizing your dreams. This helps you to pay close attention to your present circumstances. This empowers you to discover and create a path to actualizing your vision. You are focused on your success. You are focused on what is positive in your life. You are using the power of your focused intention to live your best life.
The Full Moon is in chatty Gemini. You could feel an information overload. Don't allow your mind to run away with you. Mercury is Gemini's ruling planet. Gemini is known to be quite talkative. Mercury in Sagittarius is opposing the Full Moon. Sagittarius is known to inflate the facts. It is easy to over exaggerate both your wins and losses. You may have the gift of gabbing. This could lead you to much ado about nothing. A few hours after the Full Moon, Uranus moves forward. He has been retrograde for five months. The universe is saying, "Take a giant leap forward." Be open to the new, the weird and the original. Uranus wants you to take a walk on the wild side. Insights and ideas can come from the wildest places. Help could come to you from the people you least expected. Epiphanies emerge empowering you. These are perceptions in how to improve your life. Action steps in the right direction.
Pluto and Uranus are a roller coaster ride of change and transformation. You will have good days and challenging days. You can expect the unexpected. Sometimes shocking surprises are jaw dropping. Relationships can blow up revealing long held tensions. Uranus and Pluto bring sudden endings. They can serve up a fresh start that you may not want but sorely need. Stay flexible. Surrender resistance. Control is an illusion. The only thing you can control is yourself. How you respond to what is happening. Make no judgments. Assume nothing; wait until you have the full story. Use the Four Agreements to guide you. They are grounding in this sea of chaos and confusion.
The mood shifts as the Sun enters Capricorn on December 21. Happy Solstice! The Sun in Capricorn brings with it a sober tone.
