Full Moon in Gemini 2018
The Full Moon in Gemini with the Sagittarius Sun join Jupiter Sagittarius, jump starts into a jubilant state with distant longings to move onward and forward, on to bigger and better things (growth, expansion, nomad, gypsy, truth telling, freewheeling, optimistic, jovial) oppose the Gemini Moon (thinker, just the facts, reason, observant) communicating with a sense of urgency to get a message across.
The Full Moon in Gemini is tied up in an antagonistic tsquare with Mars Pisces and Jupiter Sagittarius. I always get warnings of inclement weather and stormy lunar cycles hearing continual alarm bells and sirens running. Gemini communications set off Mars short fuse, letting off steam, releasing tension, while Jupiter Sagittarius just escalates and increases any aggression and impatience, gossip, smear campaigns, snap judgements. With Mercury just turned retrograde while Venus moves direct out of retrograde, things are up in the air, at a turning point.
The Full Moon square Mars is typically a quick burn of over reaction, arguments, disagreement, running rough shed, especially further square Jupiter, seen with the intense wild forest fires, headaches, venting pent up, fed up righteous anger. It will be easy to fly off the handle with this energy, so it is a time to count to ten first before clearing the air and taking a stand by staying on the constructive side of Mars, finding ways to vent and express anger or disagreement with assertion and taking decisive positive action.
The Full Moon in Gemini (Mercury ruled) has Mercury retrograde in its detriment in Sagittarius and also square Neptune Pisces, adding to subjective, opinionated, grandiose schemes, with foot inserted in mouth, over thinking, miscommunication, misunderstood, highfalutin, hyperbole lost on some horizon, challenging rational, reasonable, logic thought.
Jupiter moving into its home in Sagittarius tied into this afflicted Full Moon rings Jupiter true to form. Jupiter is a straight shooter from the hip, no holds barred. Jupiter at home gives in to its natural inclination to operate in its highest, purest form (growth, moving forward, getting out of comfort zones, expansion, far reaching, not settling or idling, restless, looking for novelty and new experiences). Anything foreign, cultural, long distant, travel, higher education, philosophy, religion, beliefs are all Sagittarius related and pronounced.
Jupiter growing pains may show up with having to leave behind or move away from anyone or anything stagnating, wasting potential, staying the same in a comfort zone and remaining small and petty. Jupiter is considered a benefic and bringer of luck, good fortune but Jupiter can also be too much of a good thing. If Jupiter is afflicted, its darker element shows with excess, unwelcome growth, exaggeration, hypocrisy, poor judgement, fanaticism, self righteousness, intolerance.
Venus Libra moves direct from being retrograde emphasizing Venus principles of cooperating, negotiating, collaborating give and take, scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours. While moving forward, Venus once again makes a snarling opposition to Uranus and square the nodal axis (3rd hit since September 2018) with more disruptive and abrupt shifts and the darker side of Venus Libra using charm with nice to your face back stabbing come full circle, back biting any slip through the cracks.
