"MAY WE DEVELOP THINKING FOR THE SAKE OF THINKING AND NOT FOR THE SAKE OF THOUGHT" - MANLY HALL
This full moon, at 16° Gemini, is going to bring your capacity for thinking into focus. Gemini is the sign of mental agility, specifically rational thinking. Throughout the full moon’s transit in this sign, you may be releasing limiting beliefs on your capabilities of being rational. The moon is directly opposed the Sagittarius sun and directly conjuncts Mars’ retrograde. This suggests a power play between these sister signs: One representing logical rational thinking and the other representing spiritual and philosophical knowing. Being directly conjunct Mars in retrograde, expect intellectual battles to mark the day. Mars in retrograde brings unique challenges of its own; with anger being repressed, expect anger and resentment being brought to the surface during this transit. If there's anyone you have been itching to have an intellectual spar with, this is the moon to do it under! The full moon in Gemini may allow you to release some of these unexpressed tensions, and provide a positive outlet for release if utilized properly. While anger and explosion is uncomfortable in the moment, ultimately it leads to everyone expressing their truths which is a positive end. With Sagittarius being the sign of the truth, expect some hard truths to come to light, maybe surrounding your ability to think rationally with all of these Gemini oppositions.
Gemini is also the sign of duality, represented by the twins as the symbology. Rational thinking typically places everything in a dual context of opposites. Under this full moon, duplicity could be exposed. Maybe someone acts one way to your face and another behind your back. Maybe a promising opportunity is not as it appears. Keep your eyes open and use your rational mind to analyze all the options presented to you. This is not the transit to get caught up in romanticization; it is the transit to examine the cold hard facts presented to you. Ultimately something may be revealed to you that—while hurtful to experience in the moment—will be helpful to your overall soul's growth.
Gemini is also known as the sign of the social butterfly. This transit might be a good time to put yourself out there and make some new connections. With the sun being in Sagittarius opposed to this full moon, your inner party girl will shine. Even if it's a weeknight, this transit makes for a promising night out on the town full of hijinks, new connections, and sparkling conversations. If you have been waiting for the perfect night to have a good time, this might be it. Just be wary of the Mars moon conjunction—you might end up in a bar fight!
For those of you who are students, utilize this energy to study your little heart out. This is a great transit for students, with Sagittarius and Gemini being the signs of learning and teaching. Maybe apply to that grad school you have been eyeing for awhile, or that teaching position that just opened up. This transit favors the perpetual learner. Even doing some research on an intellectual hobby will gratify the energies surrounding us.
Ultimately, intellect is the center focus of this full moon. Keep your wits about you and your feet on the ground. Don't get too carried away in the tensions that may arise, with the next transits some of these difficult feelings will subside.
