Wed. 12/7: Full Moon in Gemini, conjunct Mars RX, 16 degrees, exact at 21:08 MST. This full moon is a big one, because it is spotlighting Mars retrograde in Gemini, since the moon will be sitting with Mars as the Sagittarius sun spotlights both. The sun is conscious focus, and the moon is the subconscious. Mars retrograde is a review and lessons around our self-assertion, or lack thereof and the likely anger that results around real or perceived boundary violations. Gemini is the sign of the mind and communication, so Mars retrograde in Gemini is specifically about how we communicate these things. When we aren't authentically asking for what we want, need, and/or saying no when we need to, it's going to eventually come out. This full moon is helping us to make conscious what has been below the surface for us in these matters. This is an opportunity to notice where in your life and specific situations you have not been speaking your truth, saying what you really want and need, and/or saying no when you want or need to? This can be because you know what you need and are people-pleasing (this happens for many reasons) or because you actually haven't even stopped to acknowledge what you truly need and desire. Maybe deep down you feel that you don't deserve to have needs or desires, or that if you ever really get what you want something bad will happen or there will be a price to pay, or that you have to please everyone else to stay safe and not be rejected. Whatever it is, this full moon is helping us illuminate these patterns and thus begin to shift them into something more supportive for us that honors our inherent right to exist. Chiron stations direct in Aries, Mars' sign, in just a couple of weeks on 12/23, and aspects to Chiron during the coming lunations in the beginning months of 2023 are going to be helping us with this as well. As this full moon climaxes and this energy peaks, we may feel the urge to stand our ground and say things that come bubbling up, and that may feel good in the moment, but before you let things fly, pause and ask yourself if that is really going to get you what you want. Remember that everyone is feeling the pressure of this energy, and typically those types of interactions are met by the other party with defensiveness and it turns out to be a lose-lose. We want wins! So my invitation to you is to really tune into what's coming up within you around this full moon, and to trace it back to where you weren't authentic and courageous and telling the "micro-truths" to begin with, and to make a commitment to begin doing more of this starting now. Allow the full moon to illuminate this for you, and give a few days for the information to fully integrate. Pay attention to what's going on with others around you too. Then after this big energy has started easing up, if there needs to be a conversation about anything, you can do it without all the pressure and intensity and craft your words to elicit the very best outcome for all involved. Happy full mooning! #astrology #astrological #fullmoon #fullmoonenergy #WednesdayWisdom #wednesdayvibes #geminifullmoon #sagittariusseason #truth #marsretrograde
