A TUMULTUOUS FULL MOON IN GEMINI, NOVEMBER 25TH




"NovemberFull Beaver MoonFor both the colonists and the Algonquin tribes, this was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm winter furs. This full Moon was also called the Frost Moon." -The Old Farmer's Almanac

Today the full moon in Gemini rains down its intensity upon us. What do you get with a airy duplicitous moon in a fiery sign like Sagittarius? Hot air coming from opposite directions. Expect this to be more of a frost full moon than a beaver one. The frost is represented by the cold thin sheath of our armored protectiveness being melted by warming air. Though running for the comfort of a den may be a smart move to handle the influences of this lunation, one cannot hide forever.

In keeping with the ongoing theme of transformation, the full moon in Gemini will confront us with the duality of our choices. Should you stay or should you leave? The winds of change are compelling us to put up or shut up. We won't be liking the pressure, but this full moon is acting as a catalyst for us to break free from the rut we decorated that is holding us back.

Another aspect of this process will be dealing with loss. Exemplified by the aftermath of the Paris terrorist attacks, we will be dealing with how we deal with sudden unexpected tragic loss, coming to terms with profound feelings of helplessness, and how we move forward constructively in spite of uncertainty and fear. We are experiencing the critical need to balance the assault on our psyche by creating integration, unity, and healthy bonds. The time is now.

Resist the urge to flee, look away, bury it, and pretend it doesn't matter. Emergent feelings are there to remind us of our humanity. Accepting them as a part of our healing will comfort us during the uncertainty of what lies ahead. Slow down, breathe, listen without judgment, and affirm that we will ultimately be led to greater equilibrium. Being of service to others is particularly important at this time. Let the Dr. Jekyll inside of you counterbalance the issues driving your Mr. Hyde shadow by demonstrating kindness, patience, and devotion. In turn, this positive energy will be restorative to a planet that is in desperate need of tenderness and compassion.
