This Full Moon in Gemini during Sagittarius season may find our minds craving to connect. The influence of both these signs may have us seeking mentally stimulating experiences, with a desire to proclaim our beliefs while stretching the limits of our understanding, by connecting to those around us (as well as ourselves) in a loving way.
Gemini, symbolized by the Lovers card, embodies love and how we incorporate love into our integration of wholeness. Through our relationships, we learn to love all our parts, reconcile inner opposites, and grow through courage, humility, forgiveness, and discernment. This journey of mutual learning and teaching invites us to see ourselves and others as we are.
Sagittarius, symbolized by Temperance, represents a moment of integration after a significant change in the season before us (Scorpio - Death). Temperance supports us in establishing flow between our material and spiritual needs, directing our energy with curiosity toward the future. Temperance guides us through this transformation, offering safety as we practice creating harmony between the old and new parts of ourselves.
Mercury goes direct today, boosting communication and thought processes. However, be mindful during the post-shadow period (ending Dec. 31st). Carve out moments for reflection and avoid unnecessary conflict. The Moon square Neptune intensifies emotional sensitivity and longing for ideals that hold great significance. This is an opportunity to release limiting beliefs and gain clarity around personal ideals.
Energy Shifts: There may be a quickness to your reactions and perceptions, follow where your curiosity takes you
Desires: Wanting to immerse yourself in many different types of activities
Tune In: Speak your feelings into existence to tangibly connect with them
Ground: Box breath [breath in for 4, hold for 4, release breath for 4, and pause for 4, repeat at least four times] to ground emotional energy so it's not scattered in your mind
Pile 1: 10 of Joints (R) x Standstill
This image shows someone holding more joints than one could comfortably consume in one sitting. Even if you could, how would this help you in this moment? The 10 of joints bring our attention to how we’re directing our energy, to consider where we extend ourselves & whether or not it’s sustainable. When in reverse, it suggests that you’re stretched thin in a way that is no longer sustainable to you. The oracle card calls for a standstill offering a first step; acknowledging where you are. Disregarding the truth of where you find yourself doesn’t make it any less real. Notice where your energy is leaking, & take the steps to call your energy back. Once you have removed or postponed what is not urgent, you will feel the surge of energy and intuition pour in like a waterfall. Struggling to keep up will only keep you stuck in burnout, slowly pull back where you can. Reach out for support!
Pile 2: Temperance x Abudance
Temperance is guiding you in the process of mediating who you have been and who you are becoming. You are asked to look beyond the binaries of anything being one thing or the other. See where you say ‘but’ a lot and try replacing it with the word ‘and’. The card before Temperance is Death, represented by Scorpio, last season (Oct-Nov). After pruning the parts of you that no longer served your growth, you’re now acclimating to a new version of yourself. You’re being encouraged to open your spirit and mind, to express and explore your passions while applying the lessons you learned last season. The passage through Death is not for the faint of heart & if your perspective has been bleak as a result, the oracle speaks of abundance. Taking the steps towards integration without holding back will get you where you desire.
Pile 3: High Priestess (R) x Power
It’s not a coincidence that we get bursts of intuition when communing with cannabis, this plant reveals the hidden parts of our subconscious and this is where the High Priestess resides. She is the container of wisdom + knowledge beyond our reach. Only when she deems us worthy and prepared are we granted her intuitive guidance. In reverse, she travels from the underworld to get our attention, something she doesn’t like to have to do. She wants your attention because you’re ignoring your intuition. The oracle speaks of power; perhaps you’re hesitant to follow the knowing that asks you to claim and step into your potential. The High Priestess reminds you that fear and uncertainty are part of the journey, and to choose to be courageous despite those feelings. You know deep inside it's your time.
