A FULL MOON happens on November 27, 2023 (5:16 PM, Philippine Time), at exactly 4°51 minutes in the realm of mutable air, GEMINI, the sign of the twins.
Astrologically, a Full Moon symbolizes a time of culmination and emotional peak. It represents the peak of the lunar cycle, where the moon’s complete illumination by the sun brings to light hidden undercurrents and heightens emotional landscapes. This period often serves as a mirror, reflecting the climax of efforts initiated during the New Moon. It is a moment of realization, closure, and sometimes (or oftentimes actually), dramatic revelations!
Luna is back in the kingdom of mutable air, dear reader, to showcase her full luminous splendor for the annual Full Moon in Gemini!
GEMINI is an air sign known for its duality, adaptability, and intellectual curiosity. It thrives on exchange of ideas, social interactions, and the pursuit of knowledge. Gemini as an archetype represents versatility, wit, and a masterful ability to connect ideas to one another, identifying patterns and information that can help us absorb and make sense of our immediate environment. However, dear reader, this duality which is a pillar of the Gemini nature, can sometimes lead to indecisiveness or a scattering of energies in multiple directions. Everything is a possibility, therefore, nothing gets done.
This Full Moon carries with it dynamic energy that pushes and pulls at our intellectual and philosophical understanding. Most of us get lost in the mundane life, in daily surface level interactions and our mechanical tasks at hand. While necessary, this need to understand the material world and to function well sadly distracts us from our authentic intentions.
This Full Moon demands us to reconnect with our “whys”, assertively commanding us to amend and revise outdated beliefs that color how we act and dictate who we think we are. What reasons lead us to do what we do in the daily? What is the vision, the goal, the bigger picture?
HARD ASPECTS WITH THE MALEFICS
Heightened, uncomfortable feelings and emotions characterize most of this Full Moon’s energy, as it exchanges tense conversation with the malefic planets, planets that traditionally represent challenge, tension and hardship.
MARS, the planet of assertion, anger, volatility but also motivation, challenges this lunation, almost to a duel, forcing action where mental intention once sufficed. The next 2 weeks may inspire movement and decisive action. Areas of life where we get lost in theoretics and ruminating on possibilities and probabilities become supercharged with unease that eventually erupts into a crippling crescendo of pent up frustration, and we are likely to take the reigns and charge forward, throwing caution to the wind, hoping luck may catch it.
On the other hand, SATURN, the planet of restrictions, limitation, but also of responsibility and maturity, loosely converses with the Moon too, adding tension to an already stressful configuration. Saturn’s firm grasp on what is fundamentally necessary creates friction with the Moon, who, in Gemini mischievously takes the role of devil’s advocate to every scenario that may unfold. We may feel conflicted, pushed into action, even if we lack confidence in the possible outcome. Saturn helps to reign in irrationality, but it struggles to be heard, easily fading against insistent, aggressive, martian demands.
ENERGETIC SYNTHESIS
This Full Moon compels us to introspectively assess whether what we do is still genuinely aligned with our core motives and beliefs. We are urged to consider if the pressures of life, or in some cases, the absence of it, have subtly led to a drift between our intentions and our actions. A paradigm shift may be offered in the area where this lunation lands, presenting us with a unique opportunity to transcend mere intellectual understanding, urging us to integrate wisdom with action, and thoughtful planning with decisive steps forward.
Frustrations and high tension are to be expected within the week, and it’s important to watch out for impulsive decisions, especially those due to overwhelming feelings of helplessness. Wherever this Full Moon lands in our charts is where we are prone to overthink, eventually fostering a compelling desire to escape, to break free from our current mental confines, through tangible movement. We long for freedom and action, but without a clear targeted goal, we run the risk of wandering around, aimlessly, lost in an endless landscape of options that overwhelm.
Peace of mind, though elusive, is essential for this period. Indeed, the illuminating presence of this Full Moon in Gemini brings about a time of reflection and action. It’s important to exercise prudence without hindering our progress towards resolution.
As we stand under its glow, we are reminded that the dance of light and shadow in our lives is a continuous one. In every moment of indecision, there is an opportunity for clarity; in every moment of restlessness, a chance for purposeful action. This lunar phase inspires us to embrace our duality, to find balance in our thoughts and deeds, and to courageously step forward into a future where our actions reflect our deepest, most authentic truth. ❤
