During Gemini full moons we tap our inquisitiveness.   Gemini is all about rooting around for more facts and data.   Gemini likes to ask a question, get an answer and turn around and do it again.    Gemini is always focused on feeding the intellect.    Sagittarius is focused on the broader outlook.    Sag looks for the bigger picture and from that forms wisdom.   Obviously, intellect and wisdom not the same.    But both Gemini and Sag understand the power in being adaptable.   

 

During the full moon, where the Sun in Sagittarius is opposing Moon in Gemini, we are challenged by the task of making sure the facts on the ground match our big opinions.    Curiously, when this Gemini full moon launches, Mercury, the ruling planet of Gemini is retrograde which can cloak some of the facts.   But then later in the day, (12:56pm PST) Mercury stations direct at 6 degrees of Sagittarius.   It is kind of a big deal to have Mercury station direct on a full moon that is under its influence.    At the same time, the ruling planet of Sagittarius is Jupiter, which is in Gemini, thus both planets are mutually receptive (Mercury in Jupiter’s ruling sign Sag and Jupiter in Mercury’s ruling sign Gemini).   If your head is spinning, good, that means you are paying attention because that is a lot of Gemini and Sagittarius energy juicing up this full moon.     For three days the inner computer that lives within us will be processing a lot of stuff.   And the inner philosopher that lives within us will be trying to figure out what it all means.    It could be overwhelming.

 

One more note about Mercury:  When Mercury stations direct it is very close to an exact trine with Mars in Leo.   This is a perk to the full moon.   There will be some facts that inform us and resonate in the heart (Leo) which provide impetus for swift actions.   We may say yes to do something that is magnanimous and big which speak both to Sag & Leo.      

 

While facts and data may get clarity, there could still be some stuff that is opaque due to Neptune.   On the 14^th the moon squares Neptune (a monthly aspect) and then on the 18^th, the sun squares Neptune (twice a year).  If some of the facts stir up mental angst, take a beat and see if more clarity comes later in the week after the full moon has waned.    Some opinions and beliefs may change or soften as we wait for more answers.    Adding to the case to take a beat is Venus trine Jupiter on the 19^th.     Looking for good, tapping the heart, fellowship with others, reaching out to groups and a willingness to find answers in perhaps a different landscape can bring joy.    We will all need that trine on the 19^th.     

 

For the three-day full phase, our brains will be receiving so much data, and we will be trying to sort through it all and try to make it make sense.    The rub is Gemini freezes because of a need to analyze everything and Sag can rush and make quick decisions with all its fiery ‘know-it-all-ness’.    During this full moon, if you are over analytical, unplug.   If you are racing in righteous indignation, take a beat.     A short trip is Gemini, and a journey is Sag but you don’t need to leave your home to do either.   Consider starting a book or watching something entertaining on TV and above all find the funny because Gemini and Sag are long in humor.
