The Moon is full in Gemini on Wednesday, December 11th, at 19 degrees 51 minutes of Gemini at approximately 10:12pm Mountain Time. Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury, which governs our minds, including how we communicate, speak, write, think, and how we exchange information with one another. With the Moon here, which rules over emotions and our habits, there might be a need or tendency to talk to others about our feelings and generally use speech as a way of emotionally connecting. Thus, a full moon in Gemini might be a bit chatty. The mood of the day will certainly be social, as Gemini is an air sign and likes, especially, to connect with various social groups. Gemini is also associated with the Greek God Hermes, Messenger of the Gods. Hermes’s job was to deliver messages between the god of the skies and the god of the underworld and along his delivery path, there was ample time to play tricks on others. Thus, Gemini is also associated with trickery, play, and being mischievous.
As always, Full Moons are times of culminations, completions, and peaks. Things get especially busy and can seem a little bit crazy during the Full Moon because the energies are so high! Watch out for spreading yourself too thin, committing to too much, or being overly social. Gemini is a busy sign, interested in anything and everything that catches its attention. Known for its particularly short attention span, Gemini can have us all in a tizzy with all the interests and curiosity it can have. Try not to have too much planned or have too much detailed work to do. Earlier in the day around 3:12pm, the Moon makes a square to Neptune in Pisces, which can leave us feeling as though we’ve entered another mini Mercury Retrograde period! The feeling might be imaginative, idealistic, or a little mentally drunk, feeling as though you just can’t focus on the details or get things done.
Gemini is also known for its propensity to getting bored often and easily, which is why a short attention span is attributed to this sign. Do something fun on this day, but don’t try to do it all, as this will probably stress you out! Feeling restless or having nervous energy is normal for Gemini, as Gemini rules over the nervous system. Avoid stimulating drinks, as the nervous system is bound to be more sensitive! Surgical procedures are not recommended during the Full Moon. Avoid surgery involving the organs, systems, and limbs that Gemini rules over. These include not only the nervous system, but the shoulders, arms, hands, bronchial tubes, and lungs. Stay healthy and warm in this cold weather. Gemini also rules over the respiratory system. If we’re not mindful of our bodies, we could end up with a cough.
The true gift of this sign is its capacity to play and to be curious about everything! This is a good time to meditate upon the following questions: Where could you introduce a little more play in your life? What could you be more curious about before making up your mind? How can you integrate the trying of new things into your life without spreading yourself too thin? The Full Moon is the perfect time to experiment!
