Gemini Full Moon-Dec 18th-2021

​As we approach the winter solstice (on Dec 21st) further descending into the darkness of winter, we experience and feel the shifting of the light and the dark both within and around us. We watch and experience the lengthening of the nights as day’s light grows short and small. However even in the longest of nights, the moon’s reflection and all of her magic reminds us- there is always light to be found and seen and that sometimes, the darkness is what actually allows us to truly see all of the ways in which the light touches and brightens our lives.

With that, tonight’s air ruled moon in Gemini will bring about a welcoming and refreshing energy amidst fiery Sagittarius season. And, like most things in life, nature and its elements, and astrology with its elemental signs, mirror and reflect one another so that we may best learn from the interactions of the world both within and around us. ​

• With the sun (which rules the conscious mind and personality) being in a fire sign (Sagittarius) it means we are more confident and bold in our thoughts and actions. This paired with the moon (which rules the subconscious mind and feelings) being in air sign (Gemini) can often add extra spice, energy or fuel to anything you may be working on lately! After all, adding air to fire can make it grow more brilliant and eye-catching- very quickly. What this means for us is that we may be feeling more expressive and passionate with others and ourselves, we may even feel more social and spontaneous - However, taken too far- air/fire combined can cause a sudden increase of energy that can result in chaos and destruction. Considering this- be sure to think thoughts, words and actions thoughtfully during this time, practice sustainable energy practices and be sure to ask yourself the intention behind what you say, share and do!
• On the other hand, when considering we are also adding fire energy to air with this astrology placement: this transit serves to show us how things that can be painstakingly bright, eye-catching or even burn can calm, settle, and dissolve down to nothing but ash and air. This reflects to us and shows us the transformative power of nature, cycles and seemingly opposite pairings of life that ultimately work together to create change and shift states (both scientifically, socially, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically). ​
• Learning from and reflecting nature around us, like the trees losing its leaves, releasing what it needs- we too begin to strip down to the basics and core of what builds and connects our life and lives together. As we slow down, we begin to prioritize and reorganize our energy as needed. We also begin to see the strengths or weaknesses that lie within our bare bones, our foundations or roots. We see the ways we are reaching upward with greater visibility, exposure and clarity. As things quiet and slow, we begin to truly notice and feel the energies of all the other beings around us by tapping into our connection to the Earth and the ground and one another through our core. Like a forest who grows yet remains ever connected by its roots, This allows us to see where we may gain more connection, empathy and strength, where we can seek more support or love from those around us- as well as recognize what new branches or connections we have made, and how much more we have all expanded and grown individually and together. ​​
• ​Ultimately, tonight’s moon marks the joining and integration of two seemingly opposites(fire/air,light/dark, masculine/feminine, conscious/subconscious, cold/warmth) as one. Since this energy can evoke strong emotions, energy and feelings- may you take tonight to be still and feel- both celebrate, mourn, and embrace your journey. When or if you look to the past, as many do at the end of the year, may you do so with grace, love, compassion and a heart full of gratitude for all that you have gained. May it remind you of how far you’ve come and that who you are is a culminating ever changing result of both your subconscious and conscious actions combined thus far. May you recognize the potential and power of your choices and see that the more the subconscious becomes conscious (as you awaken and become aware of how one affects the other) the more control you have over your life

P.S. Any energy or insights that come through tonight will only receive more light and clarity in the days to come, especially with Chiron (the wounded healer planet which shows you a core wound you are working on healing in this life) also moving direct again tomorrow!

With love,

Elysian on Earth
