Full Moon in Gemini
Sunday, December 15 at 2:02 AM (mtn)
Happy FULL MOON, babes!
Full moons are a time of closure, a time of endings. Whenever we close one door, it means that we make space for another to open. This is the last full moon of 2024 - which means it is the perfect time to gather and reflect. What do we want to carry with us in 2025 - and what we are ready to leave in 2024? You have the choice to continuously keep creating your dream life. Use these moments of presence with the Moon to create ritual and ceremony for release and welcome.
The sun is currently in fiery Sagittarius, which is ruled by Jupiter. This season is all about embracing your free spirit, adventure (in any shape or form), and passion. The full moon in Gemini, ruled by Mercury, reminds us to practice good communication (with ourselves and with others) and to practice understanding the duality of what it is of being human. Everything is always a beautiful practice, right?! Both signs are full of curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.
Mercury is stationed direct during this time, meaning that the energy around clear communication and thoughts may be even more bright. Use this time to reflect - to think - is there anything that your energy is divided on? What are you truly ready to let go of? When we are unclear on something for too long, it can become cloudy as you seriously consider all options. Let the fog lift and open yourself up to the clear truth that you know is there.
It is a gift to allow yourself to be truly honest with yourself. Sometimes we hang onto stagnant energy - or sometimes we hang onto what is comfortable - even though it no longer serves us - but why? We know that we need to let it go, to release, and yet it can be the most difficult thing to do. Allow yourself the time you need to let it go - but also remember - there is never the perfect time for anything. Sometimes we just have to be honest and let that shit goooooo.
This full moon in Gemini is also a reflective time to remember how you might be holding too firm in your opinions or in your thoughts. The duality of the twins may divide and make it difficult to see other’s perspective. Are there times when you are so involved in your own thought process, that you miss someone else’s? Remember that conversation is always expansive, especially with an open and curious mind. As Gemini values honesty and Mercury is the planet of thinking patterns and mentality, allow there to be a flow to our thought patterns.
When are there times in your life where your mind is saying one thing, and your heart is saying another? Are there parts of your life that seem total opposite from another part you completely love? That is the beauty of duality and loving both sides of yourself. Recognize, know when to listen to which side, and appreciate the other for always keeping it real.
The more we allow time and pause for reflection, for contemplation, and for movement - the better our life gets. And remember - the more we let go, the more we expand. What a beautiful gift to present your future self - releasing and letting go to make space for expansion.
Stand outside and soak up these gorgeous rays. Embrace the darkness - put on your favorite blanket wear (clothes that feel cozy like a blanket?!) and stare up at the Moon. 2024 is coming to an end. Breathe in gratitude for all that has occurred, and release love as you let that breath out. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Fill the air with gratitude and love as you stare up at the Moon.
What a gift it is - to allow yourself the space and time to pause, reflect, and allow the Moon to guide us.
ALIGNED ACTION
You know that we love to set the scene. Light a candle, clean your space up, make a mug of tea. Pick out your favorite mug, put on some music, set the lighting just right. Put on an outfit that feels like * you *. Grab your favorite pen and your journal or a piece of paper. Start to write down any lessons you learned from 2024. These can be monumental - such as patterns with friends that were hard to learn, romantic patterns, a financial mistake - or small lessons such as how to time cooking all the parts of your dinner together just right. It can be a reminder that going to bed early is important, as is eating healthy - as is allowing yourself to have that scoop of ice cream. Write down all the lessons you have learned, and from that - write down patterns you are ready to leave behind in 2024 on a separate piece of paper. Go outside under the full moon (or if you do this later in the week, anytime at night) and burn it. Release it. You are no longer carrying it into the new year. Give yourself a hug, recognize all the work you have done. And remind yourself that the point of healing is to find joy.
JOURNAL QUESTIONS
What is a pattern that I am ready to leave behind in 2024?
When is the last time it was difficult to be honest with myself? Why? What made me finally be honest (or are you still having a hard time with it?)
When is the last time you practiced hard communication, and what was the outcome? How do you continuously practice communication, with yourself and your loved ones? Remember, communicating is a beautiful sign of love.
as the year draws to a close, I am feeling endlessly grateful for this space. thank you for being here, for reading my year’s worth of blogs, for reflecting and contemplating with me. and as always, thank you to the Moon for your endless guidance and presence.
all the love,
markie
