Full Moon in Gemini

Walking away from all that’s not serving to 2022

Seasons Greetings Earth Fam, 

I hope that Scorpio season treated you well. On a personal level this last season was deeply introspective, transformative, and somewhat depressive if I am being honest. I find that deep moments of change tend to stir the pot of anxiety, frustration, and discomfort that we as humans work so hard to ignore. But alas, we must drink this medicinal soup so as to purge and heal. 

This Full Moon is the final full moon of 2021 and occurs on December 18 at 8:37pm Pacific Time. The moon is in the sign of Gemini, the innovator, the dualist, the separator while the sun is in Sagittarius. Both Sagittarius and Gemini are fervent seekers of liberation and expansion, though their approaches are usually very different. Sagittarius, a fire sign, wants to feel their way into a liberated reality. They want to burn away all that doesn’t serve and illuminate the truth through passionate flames. Gemini, an air sign, on the other hand can be a bit cold and calculative. Gemini relies on their mind to solve their way through the maze of life and come to that freedom through intellect. This full moon asks us to see how we can marry feelings with intellect and come to this space of balanced truth-filled liberation. Do you rely more on your feelings or your mind to free yourself?

The biggest influence that I am feeling during this time is the Venus retrograde conjunct Pluto in Capricorn. Venus, the planet of love and beauty, will be taking her fabled journey over the next 40 days and 40 nights from being a night star to rising with the morning sun. A retrograde is a period of time where we are given challenges and opportunities to help us reflect on what may or may not be working and the growth we need to become better beings in this lifetime. This usually requires a dark night of the soul. When Venus is retrograding in the sign of Capricorn evaluations of partnerships and their long term potential will be constantly tested. Any relationships that have needed a break or a full stop will be given their final notice. Though this is extremely challenging, if you can continue to communicate with loving compassion and patience you will come out so much stronger in your love than ever before (and all things that you felt were lingering “issues” have the potential to be resolved!). 

The added influence of Pluto in Capricorn conjunct this retrograde flares up the intensity needed to truly get on or get out in your relationships. Pluto is the sign of power, death, and regeneration thus instigating deep, sometimes violent, change in our lives. Pluto can be dark and, when combined with the Saturnian energy of Capricorn, can be quite serious. I’ve been personally feeling this conjunction deeply in my own relationship. Frustrations and anger, the feeling of not being appreciated or welcome have been rising internally. To work with this energy I have been extra observant for when my heart beats faster or my breath quickens. I allow myself the time to walk out of the room and breathe for a few moments until I can gather my thoughts and feelings (there’s that Gemini and Sagittarius influence!) and communicate from my heart. Always know that issues do NOT need to be resolved immediately, you can let them breathe and come back to them in an hour or a day. Operating from heightened emotions uses the reptilian mind of fight or flight. When in higher vibrational relationships we are called to operate from the heart space or the higher mind instead. 

As well as being a very relationship heavy time (relationships not limited to romantic but also with ourselves and friends/work), this full moon deeply influences our vision for what kind of life we want to live, and how that may be completely different from this time last year. As we were moving out of a year of forced lockdowns into a new way of approaching life, we may have been a little overzealous to what we want and can achieve. Now that we have this Winter Moon to slow down and reflect, be okay with certain dreams or visions dying. Focus your attention on one or two good ideas until they fully take life, then keep dreaming. Continue to consider the whole of humanity in rewriting your dreams, and they will be supported by the energy of Saturn in Aquarius, the planetary ruler of this chart. 

This moon and all the planetary influences is our opportunity to reconnect and realign with the life of our dreams. Full Moons are always times of great ending and reset, as well as celebration for what has come to fruition! Write down your blessings, reflect on your goals for 2021 that you wrote last year, acknowledge and celebrate what you achieved, and honor this ending of 2021 as it’s meant to be honored. 

I hope this blog could be helpful for you this time of year. I am so ecstatic to be writing to you, and ON MY OWN WEBSITE! Yay!

Feel free to write me on instagram, @deeplydimensional,  I love to hear from you!

Aries New Moon

Hello Starlings!

Happy April and blessed New Moon in Aries! We are celebrating this New Moon with a lot of fire, passion, and primordial energy as I am sure you can feel. This year has been potent in its deep teachings of the astrological mandala and the uniqueness of each sign so far due to the heavy influences of the sign in question in each chart. What I mean by this is many of the major players planet wise are weighing in close to the sign the sun is in, creating something called a stellium. We saw this in the last few charts this year and will see this playing out as the year goes on. 

A stellium gives us a multi facetious experience of the power behind each sign, acquainting us more intimately with the uniqueness of each of the Twelve Archetypes. This New Moon we have heavy Aries influence. Not only are the sun and moon coupled in this passionate, mars ruled section of the astrological mandala, but also Venus, Mercury, and the asteroid Chiron. This stellium ties our energy up in healing the way we communicate with those we love, and how we receive that love communicated back at us. 

Aries is the creator, the initiator, and the trailblazer. Aries climbs up tall mountains, knocks down walls, and breaks open new possibilities with its headstrong energy. Aries wants to take action, to do and make, and cannot be stopped. Ruled by Mars, Aries can sometimes come off a bit harsh to those who may not be fully ready for a change. Aries holds compassion for that, but will stop at nothing to create a new world for all. 

With the Sun and Moon in Aries, creating a new cycle with the New Moon, we are given an opportunity to quickly cut out the old and burn it away without paying it much mind. Aries isn’t worried about being wrong, Aries just wants to try something new. Allow this influence to guide you while creating New Moon intentions and manifestations, dream big and don’t worry if it goes against everything you thought you knew. Allow yourself the opportunity to be wrong, and know that the awareness of this will be the flames you need for rebirth. 

Chiron is the wounded healer, and when holding an influential presence in the chart, opens us to the opportunity to heal deep rooted belief systems, past pains, and the way our past choices influence the way we interact with the world today. Chiron in Aries asks that we bring awareness to all the times we have been inspired, created, and maybe not received the feedback we had hoped. Paired with Mercury, Chiron is here to heal all those times when you may have opened your heart fully and were met with judgement or offense from others. 

Chiron is here to heal the words of the past, and create a self-sustained biosphere of confidence within! Venus is also in Aries, influencing the chart to bring love into the forefront of your mind. This love could be that shared with another, your family, community, or even self-love. Venus in Aries is passionate, fiery, and sometimes a bit violent. Be aware of moments where your passion may be taking a turn to anger, especially in relationships with others or yourself. 

The blend of Chiron, Venus, and Mercury in the New Moon’s region in Mars is giving us the opportunity to heal the prominent, negating voices of the past and to break open into a new relationship with our creations. Use this energy to set the intention that your creations are important and deserve to breathe life on this planet. 

The ruler of this chart, Mars, is in the innovative sign of Gemini. Gemini is the ruler of communication, innovative ideas, and duality. You may find yourself working with the Chiron energy and having two separate internal conversations as you do. One voice may be saying yes, while the other no. Use this duality as your opportunity to explore all viewpoints, possibilities, and potentials. This is what Aries and Gemini thrive off of. This Gemini influence will keep you from being stuck in your ideas, but be careful of becoming too dogmatic in any belief. 

Most importantly, use this New Moon to get acquainted with the Aries Archetype! Usually there is too much outside noise from the other planets to truly feel the energy of the star of the show that month. Allow yourself to meet her, listen to what she has to offer, and see that energy blossoming in yourself. Now here are your New Moon affirmations!
