Full Moon in Gemini, 7/8th of December 2022 at 16 degrees. Our Hearts True Desire”
Our hearts true desire will be illuminated at this Full Moon, as Mars in Gemini retrograde will be “Occulted”by the Full Moon in a rare alignment where Mars disappears behind the Moon and reemerges after approx one hour.
Mars is currently at its closest and brightest to earth since 2 years, but as Mars is darkened by the shadow of the Moon, our intuition and true emotional needs (the Moon) – wordless and irrational – overpowers your desire and will power (Mars). The result is like a short-circuit of your internal wiring.
Sudden epiphanies, a moment of sudden and great revelations or realizations can take us by surprise. Brilliant insights and clarity of mind are possible; especially about how our more ego orientated desire nature may not be aligned with our true emotional needs and our “hearts true desire”
“There is a desire within each of us, in the deep center of ourselves that we call our heart. Love should come first, it should be the beginning of and the reason for everything.”― Gerald May
Further amplifying our true hearts desire is Venus the planet of love in Sagittarius conjoined to the most powerful point in our solar system, the Galatic center, which sits at the center of our Milky Way and connects us to our inner most power, freedom and truth.
The Galactic center is the Gigantic Black Hole at the center of our Galaxy, the great cosmic attractor, it has a mass of over 10 million Suns and is a powerful source of cosmic wisdom.
Its a re-balancing of our feminine (moon) with our masculine (Mars) energies, within ourselves and our relationships.
A re-set to better align our actions, drive, will power and passion with our innermost emotional needs.
Mars symbolizes the quest to express individuality, to assert willpower, and to create vitality for initiating new cycles of experience, in the sign of Gemini we my find ourselves at a crossroads and at a time of making important decisions. In Gemini, we need to move forward by expressing and communicating our true needs and hearts desire and to base our decisions on our hearts innermost truth.
“Do you have your own true interests at heart”
“Are your desires, drive, will power and passion leading you in a different path/direction to your hearts true emotional needs”
Mars in Gemini currently retrograde, signalizes that our story is still unfolding. However, because this Full Moon represents the half way point of Mars retrograde, it is a turning point, a time of breakthroughs and of gaining great ideas and inspiration on how to move forward, as Neptune now direct, wakes us up to our truth and true potential.
“What truths have you awakened to and where do you need to set better boundaries”
Neptune and Jupiter in Pisces both recently turned direct, are still creating magic together until the 20th of December and can bring divine luck seemingly out of the blue and make miracles happen. Its a truly blessed and divine union that happened the first time in April since 1856 and although not exactly conjoined now, they are still close enough to let magic happen.
There’s real power in setting intentions, in visualizing them, and in believing that they’ll come to fruition.
Together they can both help to guide us and bring a touch of magic as well as people and synchronicities into our lives, helping us to follow our destined path. A time when we can better connect to and trust our intuition, inner knowing and faith to let the process unfold.
It’s a time to find our inner peace, trusting the process and surrender of going with the flow while taking the path of least resistance.
The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace, trusting the process and going with the flow, let go of resistance to what you cannot change.
The moment you learn to surrender and let go is the second you start to feel more in tune with who you are.
Gemini’s lightness of being is represented by the butterfly. The bright colors of the Butterfly are associated with aliveness and brightness. We can once again rediscover our inspiration and joy, awakening our inner child, where we once knew everything was possible. And teaches us, that to embrace life fully, we need to stay open-hearted.
The Full Moon illuminates the areas in our lives, where we have been leaving too little space, for the Gemini qualities of lightness, joy, play and self-expression.
Gemini, the butterfly of the zodiac teaches us not to let ourselves be weighed down to much by our worldly problems, but to connect to our true spirit and lightness of being, our infinite nature and eternal youth and how to fly high above it all. Just like the butterfly, we can go through important changes with grace and lightness.
We can free ourselves from emotional baggage, letting go of any feelings of heaviness, burden and limitation. We need to take action and responsibility for bringing more lightness into our lives, helping us to reconnect with our inner spark of light, freedom, lightness and joy, to those exhilarating qualities that are innately a part of us all.
Joy is our natural state, the source of which is our inner child, that we need to reconnect too and keep alive and well on a regular basis. Gemini loves diversity and has an insatiable curiosity, increasing our desire to meet new people, try out new hobbies or new avenues of learning. Anything that reignites your inner spark.
Find your tribe, people who inspire and uplift you.
Gemini is the sign of youthfulness whose source of the fountain of youth is her inner lightness of being and joy. When we embrace our inner joy and lightness, we defy age and our ability to keep our inner spark alive and youthfulness becomes eternal.
Joy is such a powerful feeling that it can rarely be communicated through words. Try expressing and multiplying your joy through dancing, singing, laughing, or any other way that screams about freedom, passion, and happiness!
“Let us dance in the Sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair… “– Susan P. Schutz.
