On Dec. 12th at 12:12am EST,<\/strong> the Full Moon becomes exact in almost 20 degree of Gemini<\/strong><\/em>; as mentioned above, the entrance of the Moon into Gemini Tuesday late morning started the energetic build up towards the Full Moon. The Moon in chatty, versatile Gemini opposes the Sun in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius. Feel free to watch a 10min. Excerpt of my Full Moon video.<\/a>\n <\/i>

Full Moons\u00a0<\/em>give us a chance to realize how far we’ve come since the time of the last New Moon — we gain a better insight as to whether we’re where we’d like to be, or if it’s time to correct our course. Full Moons also highlight relationships, and sometimes bring about a crisis to heighten our awareness of any imbalances, thereby pointing us towards the integration of certain polarities.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0How far have I come in regards to understanding the bigger picture and my beliefs within that frame? What are my current experiences directly teaching me about life? What might the next step be? What decisions could I make over the next two weeks to support me on my current adventures?<\/p>\n This month’s Full Moon has a mutable T-Square<\/em>, a Stellium in Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> — and Chiron (the Wounded Healer) is exalted<\/em>. I will go into all those in detail in a moment…<\/p>\n Soon after this Full Moon becomes exact, Eclipse season begins… Dec. 16th until Jan. 24th.<\/strong> Feel free to join us live on Dec. 16th at 4pm EST<\/strong> for the last Forecasting Forum of the year! We will take a Look ahead at 2020!<\/strong> And the upcoming Eclipses<\/strong>!<\/p>\n To register, click here.<\/a> Registration also gives you access to the mp4-video recording of the live event. Star <\/em>and SuperStar Members<\/em> are automatically registered and will receive a link to join on the day of the webinar.<\/p>\n So, for the next two weeks<\/strong>, we will be dealing with the\u00a0Sagittarius\/Gemini\u00a0polarity<\/strong>,\u00a0and seeking balance and integration around those poles — something needs to be brought into alignment — so let’s look at\u00a0those signs in more detail: Sagittarius<\/strong> shows us a wider perspective, asking us to…<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER?

Sagittarius<\/strong> looks to the future, our philosophies and our faith; it illustrates the importance of intention: when I aim high, I will gain more!<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What might I be able to explore if I stepped outside of my regular routine? What type of experiences might broaden my horizons? Is it at least possible that a new perspective might retroactively “change” what I have been through or experienced?<\/p>\n Gemini<\/strong>, on the other hand,\u00a0wants to keep us connected to our immediate environment, and our communities in the here and now, engaging our day-to-day mind through the gathering of facts and logic — it wants us processing and sharing as much information as we can, as fast as possible. Gemini<\/strong> is interested in the spoken and written word.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0How do logic and language enrich my life? How could I better experience the power of my mind on a daily basis? How does my inner dialog contribute to that? What do I learn from my interactions with others? What am I willing to learn?<\/p>\n The Shadow side<\/em> of both of those signs: feeling scattered and overextended, being cynical, self-righteous, or dogmatic. With Shadow issues, the more awareness we bring to them, the less impact they have on us.<\/p>\n As best as you can, integrate the\u00a0Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0mind energy\/information\/conditioning with\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>‘s\u00a0wisdom-energy generated from life’s experiences and the quest for a larger truth and broader understanding.<\/p>\n This Full Moon chart also has a\u00a0T-square:<\/em>\u00a0Neptune in\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0squares the Moon in\u00a0Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0and the Sun in\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0This asks us to stretch and grow by releasing anything that no longer supports our spiritual\/mental growth. We may have a tendency to underestimate situations, or be in denial about their impact on us — and our expectations of ourselves and others might be unrealistic.<\/p>\n As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others; seek to understand before seeking to be understood. Do your best to quiet your mind and open your heart. Be sensitive as well as honest — and beware of misinterpretations.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What might be the best way to distinguish between what I think, what I believe, and what I simply know? Might my intuitive, divine energy help me be realistic about how much I can expect of myself right now?<\/p>\n How can I honor my introverted and my extroverted natures equally? What if I had no judgment about moving faster or slower? What if I tuned into my feeling body for a moment and took a break — or at least slowed down a little? What if I practiced being compassionate and kind with myself and others for the next 60 minutes?<\/p>\n The T-Square<\/em> could also create a lack of clarity and objectivity. We may neglect important details; that said, we are also more imaginative at this time and can truly inspire others. What we say may not be what is heard, and vice versa, so verify facts and question assumptions. Don\u2019t override your inner guidance — if something sounds good, but doesn\u2019t feel right, it\u2019s probably not “right” for you right now.<\/p>\n The\u00a0empty leg of this T-square lands in\u00a0Virgo<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0we are thus invited to bring our intuitive, loving heart to our daily routines —\u00a0ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0How might my open heart help both others and myself achieve more clarity? Could I combine the kindness of heart-energy with the clarity of mind-energy? Might making a list of my heart’s desires help me be more present and connected to the flow of life? Could I allow for the timing of things as they unfold, trusting that everything on that list will be created eventually?<\/p>\n Since\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0is also associated with health routines, you might also\u00a0ask yourself:<\/strong> “What health routines would support my emotional well-being?”<\/p>\n When investigating daily routines, it can be tempting to approach things from “good\u00a0or\u00a0bad”, “right\u00a0or\u00a0wrong”; instead, try<\/strong>\u00a0asking yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What\u00a0works? What doesn’t? What do I see when I look at it all through kind eyes? Through\u00a0a lens of practical neutrality?<\/p>\n The Moon in Gemini<\/strong> quincunxes the Saturn\/Venus\/Pluto Stellium in Capricorn<\/strong><\/em>… this feels a little uneasy. We may experience some internal discomfort and need to make some inner adjustments. As best as you can, develop an inner awareness around two seemingly opposite pulls: on the one hand, a strong desire for accomplishment — we feel nudged toward being responsible and building something that will last long-term — and on the other, our need to make connections and exchange information. I should also mention here that self-care becomes paramount when there is a Stellium in Capricorn<\/strong><\/em>. For the next two weeks<\/strong>, if at all possible, prioritize a few minutes of quiet, meditative time at the start and end of each day.<\/p>\n Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, has finally made its way into Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em> (after having spent over two months in Scorpio). Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What shadow elements (i.e. those fearful, suppressed, or disowned sides of myself) have I learned to face, embrace, and integrate in the past two months? How might this process have created more empowerment within me and for the world around me?<\/p>\n With Mercury in Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em>, we seek out new\u00a0ideas; there is a good chance that our thinking is more optimistic and our faith stronger. We are more equipped to believe and to persuade. Our beliefs about reality are usually based on our conditioning and our experiences. However, that said, what we tell ourselves about our experiences can be more important than what happened. Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0Am I ready to let go of what I thought was true for me, right up until this very moment, just so I can find out what is actually true right now? Could I look at the bigger picture? Take a broader-minded approach? What might I hear if I listened to my current understanding of things rather than my conditioning? How would I live differently, if I knew that everything happens for me, rather than to me?<\/p>\n What might be possible if I opened up a dialog with others about a “larger” conversation? What conversations do I need to have if I’m to experience an expansion of my thinking\/mind? And with whom?<\/p>\n In the Full Moon chart, Mercury quincunxes Uranus in Taurus<\/strong><\/em>;\u00a0Uranus is the planet associated with unconventionality and innovation — and a Quincunx invites us to make inner adjustments… so this aspect indicates a certain degree of mental restlessness and discomfort in our interactions with others. We may be having a hard time accepting that others have different values or preferences.<\/p>\n We are also eager to improve our physical or financial lives;\u00a0we need to ask ourselves here: What might a breakthrough connected to the physical plane look like for me at this time? What if rushing would not bring that breakthrough? What if uncertainty was a natural part of the human experience?<\/p>\n What might become possible if I got 5% more comfortable with being uncomfortable, just for now? Or 5% more comfortable embracing uncertainty? What internal shift would help me stay open and ready to update my values and preferences?<\/p>\n Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, started its one-year journey through Capricorn<\/strong> earlier in the month<\/em>… starting to align with the South Node in Capricorn<\/strong><\/em>, trining Uranus in Taurus<\/strong><\/em>, and squaring Chiron in Aries<\/strong><\/em>. As you may recall, I discussed the trine to Uranus and the square to Chiron in my last video: click here\u00a0to watch<\/a>….<\/p>\n Jupiter’s alignment to the South Node<\/em> invites us to become aware of our high enthusiasm and possible need for grandeur around our standing in the world. It also points to any beliefs or attitudes that need to be revised or adjusted in connection with our careers or long-term goals.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong> Where are outdated beliefs holding me back? Where do I need to be more focused and disciplined? Where have I been limiting myself? Wasting time? Energy? Resources? What might promote a realistic perspective on my long-term goals? On my achievements in the world?<\/p>\n How might I become more resourceful when approaching life’s challenges? What\u00a0business or social aspirations\u00a0am I now ready to explore?\u00a0What might happen if I became self-responsible and took a positive attitude towards my career goals?<\/p>\n If you would like to know more about Jupiter’s journey through Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> in connection with your own chart, feel free to watch my 105 minute webinar on the subject: click here to purchase<\/a>, or for a quick preview check out this 17-minute excerpt<\/a> of the webinar — and if you are a Star <\/em>or SuperStar Member<\/em>, check your inbox or junk folder — I sent out the email on Nov. 13th.<\/p>\n Chiron stations direct within 24 hours of the Full Moon becoming exact<\/em>, ending its 5-month Retrograde phase<\/em> that started on July 8th; it is therefore exalted<\/em> (this\u00a0term refers to the intensification of a planet’s archetypal energies whenever it turns retrograde or direct).<\/p>\n If we\u2019ve done the required inner work, Chiron\u2019s “station direct” signals the closing of an old wound — and if not, it offers a heightened awareness of what remains to be resolved.<\/p>\n Chiron in Aries<\/strong><\/em> brings a heightened sensitivity towards wounds connected to our personal goals, our physical or sexual identities, and our ability (or inability) to deal with anger\/assertion, or leadership. We may get triggered over the next two weeks<\/strong> in those areas.<\/p>\n If you find that happening to you, ask yourself:<\/strong> What would it take to develop a greater understanding of my own “inner wounded child” energies and my “human limitations”? What if directing compassionate awareness toward the limitations of myself and my ancestors around the masculine energies were actually the first step towards healing those parts of myself that I’ve tried so desperately to fix and change in the past? What might “celebrating” those limitations make possible?<\/p>\n It might also be helpful to remember that as we heal ourselves, we help heal the world.<\/p>\n Last but not least, Mars in Scorpio<\/strong> trines Neptune in Pisces<\/strong><\/em>. This makes it easier for our animalistic, instinctual nature to connect to compassion and understanding; we can now bring light to all of our inner dark places; self-love has the power to transform that darkness into the gift of powerful self-connection.<\/p>\n Again, we need to bear in mind that everything and everyone is connected — our efforts ripple out — so whatever work we do on ourselves, whatever we manage to integrate, we are not just doing it for ourselves, we are doing it for everyone.<\/p>\n Following our inner guidance on a daily basis is going to be very important — as is releasing any victim-based thinking that can drown that inner guidance out. The best way to notice victim mentality is to catch ourselves when we blame others (or “life”) for our current experiences. If you catch yourself doing this, acknowledge it gently and be kind to yourself: we all do it from time to time… it’s human.<\/p>\n To sum it all up for this Full Moon:<\/strong>\u00a0There are the facts, and then there is our interpretation: we attribute meanings, generate assumptions and conclusions, these in turn harden into beliefs — and those beliefs create our reality. When we change our interpretation of the facts, we can change our perspective and start creating a different reality. This requires an open mind, an open heart, and the ongoing realization that\u00a0nothing is static and nothing is separate… The observer affects what is observed because everything is\u00a0always\u00a0interacting with everything else.<\/p>\n So,\u00a0what is Universal Truth? Wouldn’t it have to be something that is true no matter what? No matter what country I come from? No matter the color of my skin? No matter my sexual orientation? My status in society? My age? My physical appearance? The weather?<\/p>\n For the next two weeks<\/strong>, you could\u00a0ask yourself<\/strong>:\u00a0What doesn’t change, no matter when (or how often) I look? Could I look beyond the mind and tap into the larger field of energy all around me? What nourishes my soul?\u00a0Could I make time for silence, surrender, and self-reflection? Even if it’s seems impossible… just a few minutes every day?<\/p>\n I’ll end here with a quote<\/strong> from Michael Meade (author, mythologist, storyteller, and figure in the Men’s Movement of the 1980s and 1990s): \u201cThe real treasure of life, is buried in the recesses of our innermost being… yet, trusting in oneself remains one of the hardest things to do in life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nSagittarius<\/strong> highlights the importance of seeing our life as a journey, and trusting our intuition to show us the way: Why are we here? What is the human journey all about?<\/p>\n
\n
\nAsk yourself<\/strong>: Am I after superficial exchanges? Or intense and authentic emotion? Am I interested in gathering information? Or accomplishing something out there in the real world? What would it look like if I was able to take 100% responsibility for what I contribute to society? What does being self-reliant look like to me? What if I could do all of the above without self-judgement?<\/p>\n
\nReframing problems into opportunities can be so powerful. What if we reframed everything that happens to us as a chance to grow?<\/p>\n
