This Full Moon in Gemini is bound to open your mind, and possibly your mouth with some charged up heated energy. While we will be compelled to voice our underlying feelings in a more passionate way, resentments or hurt feelings may interfere. This would be a really good time to acknowledge and work through those old feelings and put them to rest so that coming into the New Year you can feel lighter emotionally and more centered.
As you know, the Sun, which is in fun loving Sagittarius we may be tempted to sweep those past wounds and hurts away. If, instead we intentionally work through them, we can tie up loose ends, make the most of the present, and look toward the future. This final Full Moon of 2022 is the perfect time to tap into our self-reflective power.
December 3 rd marks the end of Neptune’s 5-month retrograde which, for many of us was a time of trying to wipe the fog in our eyes. Neptune is foggy on its own – in its home sign of Pisces it’s even more cloudy and hazy.
Neptune resumes its forward motion, which allows us to harness our power around creativity, this allows us to harness our power around creativity, intuition, empathy and spirituality so that we can put them to good use in our life and that of others.
It’s important to understand Neptune’s shadow side which is escapism, delusion, gullibility, confusion and addiction. Neptune will remain in Pisces until the end of March 2025 before it does its final backflip till the following January and that will mark the beginning of Neptune in Aries – which should undoubtedly be very interesting!!
Think about it this way, the “go with the flow” planet of Neptune in the direct, fiery, unrestricted sign of Aries. It could wind up feeling a bit like a train wreck.
Often times Retrogrades get a bad rap, but they aren’t always unfavorable. (If you need a refresher on Chiron, check out this post and for a refresher on Retrograde, check out this post.) For instance, Chiron went retrograde in Aries in July of this year. During this retrograde you may have been encouraged to reflect on experiences that challenged your confidence or caused you to doubt your potential. Now that it’s going direct, we have an opportunity to view this as a fresh start.
Chiron goes direct on December 19th and we have a New Moon in Capricorn shortly afterwards on December 23rd . Capricorn brings in the New Year and new beginnings.
When we learn to appreciate the gifts of retrogrades, that’s when our lives can change. Either we hold on for dear life to that which no longer serves or we learn to surrender and realize that we actually have little control over anything. Our true wisdom lies in learning to embrace what is, without resisting.
Y’all know what this means – avoid signing any binding contracts, expect technology challenges, delays in travel, along with the potential for lost luggage and general confusion and misunderstandings. This retrograde ends on January 18th .
The Gemini Full Moon combined with the Sagittarius Sun will bring with it some scattered (Gemini) energy along with feisty (Sagittarius) energy! Feel the passionate, celebratory type vitality in the air. Practice dropping the need for certainty and allow this ambitious energy to bring about the change you are wanting as we slide into the New Year!
You got this!!!
