Full Super Moon in Gemini—Break out
of the familiar to explore new horizons.
At 6:06 p.m. (CT) on December 13, 2016, the Super Moon at 22 degrees in mercurial Gemini opposes the Sun and Saturn in adventurous Sagittarius. This Super Moon falls across the third/ninth house axis asking us to balance our need to cling to familiar ideas and ways of living with the desire to explore new ideas, cultures and horizons. Master communicator Gemini loves sharing information, flirting, learning, and skimming the surface of a variety of things to avoid boredom. Inquisitive Sagittarius enjoys exploring new cultures and belief systems, teaching the value of positive thinking, and sometimes taking on too many projects with the hope of doing it all.
With the Sun in Sagittarius joining Saturn, things may feel heavy at this time. We may have been over-extending our time and energy, feeling restricted by a heavy workload, or dealing with authority figures that seem to block our efforts. Saturn on the Sun can also bring serious conversations or restrictions if we have been avoiding our obligations. We may struggle over how much time we are devoting to work while trying to squeeze in some time for fun and enjoyment as well.
Gemini’s ruler Mercury, now in Capricorn, is moving to connect with Pluto at this Full Moon before going into its fourth retrograde period of the year on December 19. Conversations may feel intense and we may need to consider our communication style—avoiding strong words, manipulative power struggles or bullying behavior. Mercury conjunct Pluto can also give us the ability to think critically and deeply as we see beneath the surface of situations. If we have been given “pie-in-the sky” promises, this Full Moon may bring uncomfortable truths to the surface. We may need to revisit goals or relationships during the retrograde period, making improvements as flaws are revealed—especially in a work or career situation.
All is not bleak however, since the Moon, Sun and Saturn are also in favorable aspect to Uranus in impulsive Aries. We may suddenly feel the need to break free from obligations to explore new terrain or adventures, giving voice to our unique talents and honoring our personal truths in the process. Opportunities may drop in from out of the blue. With Uranus in the mix, you can’t really predict what will happen—only that the experience will be unique and unexpected.
The Full Moon in Gemini forms a wide Grand Trine with Jupiter in Libra and Mars in Aquarius. This is favorable energy for achieving a goal that may involve innovative thinking, communication, technology, higher education, or spirituality as we collaborate with others to expand our horizons and knowledge in pursuit of a dream. Success comes easily under Grand Trine energy. In addition, Jupiter in Libra is in favorable aspect to Saturn in Sagittarius. With Saturn’s influence, although we are working hard, we can build something solid and stable if we are willing to work with others, forming partnerships that embrace a spirit of justice and equality. Our paths might lead us into new territories, but can culminate in global success—a success that may be shared by all.
