With the Solstice and the close of Sagittarius season a week away, the Full Moon in Gemini illuminates the night sky with a vibrant, hope-filled light. As the last Full Moon of 2024, it thrives on the excitement of ideas, curiosity, and self-expression. Rich with exuberant vitality, this much-needed Full Moon in Gemini encourages us to expand our vision and engage with the world around us. Symbolized by The Twins, this opposition highlights Gemini's duality of logic and intuition, contrasting with Sagittarius's expansive worldview and pursuit of distant horizons.
Mercury in Sagittarius, the ruler of Gemini, will be in the final hours of its retrograde phase. During this time, we have reflected on our current path, beliefs, and desires to realize certain goals, as well as where we may have made assumptions or overextended ourselves. Hours after the peak of this Full Moon, Mercury stations direct, enabling the conversations we've had and insights we've gained to support decisions aligned with our ideals. We can move forward with a clear and spirited sense of direction.
Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, sitting close to the Moon, boosts optimism and provides an opportunity for reflection. Increasing the desire for open communication, growth, and positive change, Jupiter's expansive nature magnifies the themes of this lunation, urging us to think big, embrace bold dreams, and consider new possibilities that may have previously seemed out of reach.
The planet of consciousness itself, intuitive Neptune in the sign of Pisces tests the changeable essence of this lunar phase with dreamlike energy that can cloud our vision. However, Neptune’s purpose is to “open us” and with conscious intention, this challenge serves as point of spiritual awareness, growing our compassion, creativity and inspiration, deepening our connection with the mystical guidance of the Universe.
This Moon phase thrives on curiosity, the exchange of ideas, and the exploration of different viewpoints. It's a moment of culmination and illumination, where insights that have been gathering momentum rise to the surface and invite reflection. However, the sheer abundance of ideas and energy can sometimes feel overwhelming. This is a powerful moment to focus your attention and ensure that you're not scattering your energy in too many directions. By grounding yourself in the present and prioritizing what feels most aligned, you can harness the brilliant potential of this lunation while maintaining clarity.
The world around us is rapidly changing, and 2024 has been marked by dramatic upheavals and devastating struggles for many. However, as Jupiter shines its light of positivity, hope abounds. This last Full Moon of 2024 offers an opportunity to release outdated perspectives, embrace a mindset of adaptability, and continue to believe, dream, and focus on what lies ahead.
Under the magic of this Full Moon in Gemini, our hearts and souls feel receptive and alive with an abundance of possibilities. This encourages us to take our next step forward with an open mind, a healthy dose of optimism, and a deep desire for authentic growth.
