Dancing with Duality: Full Moon in Gemini
The air crackles with curiosity. As the moon swells to fullness in the sign of the Twins, we're called to explore the magic of duality, communication, and the stories we tell ourselves. This Gemini Full Moon illuminates the different faces we wear, the various truths we hold, and the power of words to shape our reality.
December 15th at 1:01 am US/Pacific under Sagittarius Sun.
Understanding the Energy
Gemini, ruled by Mercury, brings us the gift of perception and connection. During this full moon, the veil between our conscious and unconscious mind grows thin. We might find ourselves:
Speaking truths we've kept hidden
Seeing both sides of situations that once seemed simple
Feeling pulled in multiple directions
Experiencing heightened intuition alongside logical thinking
This isn't a time to force ourselves to choose one path or truth – it's a time to embrace the beautiful complexity of being both/and rather than either/or.
My Personal Practice
Tonight, I'm sitting with my journal, two candles (representing the twins of Gemini), and my favourite divination tools. The energy feels electric, playful even, as I write this. There's something powerful about acknowledging all the versions of ourselves – the witch and the skeptic, the warrior and the healer, the student and the teacher.
I'm using this moon to explore the duality in my own magical practice. How do I balance ancient wisdom with modern understanding? How do I honour both my rational mind and my intuitive knowing? These questions feel especially potent as I deepen my journey into magical practice.
A Simple Ritual for Tonight/Tomorrow
If you're feeling called to work with this full moon energy, here's a practice I'm using:
Light two candles, representing the dual nature of Gemini
Take out your journal or any paper
On one page, write "What I Show" and list the aspects of yourself you present to the world
On the facing page, write "What I Hide" and explore the parts of yourself that remain in shadow
Sit with both lists, seeing the beauty and necessity of each side
Close by writing a letter to yourself, integrating both aspects into a fuller picture of who you are
Remember, this isn't about judging one side as better than the other – it's about acknowledging and honouring your wholeness.
Looking Ahead
This full moon asks us to examine our stories – the ones we tell ourselves and others. As I continue my own journey deeper into magical practice, I'm learning that true power often lies not in choosing between opposing forces, but in dancing with both.
What stories are you ready to tell? What truths are asking to be acknowledged? How can you honor both your light and shadow?
Working with Gemini Energy
Some ways to harness this full moon's energy:
Journal about the different roles you play in your life
Practice divination, especially with tools that offer yes/no or either/or answers
Work with clear quartz or celestite to enhance communication
Perform any rituals involving words, writing, or speaking your truth
Connect with your spirit guides through automatic writing or meditation
Remember, the magic of Gemini lies in its adaptability and curiosity. There's no one "right" way to work with this energy.
Until next time, dance with your dualities and let your magic flow freely.
With starlit wisdom,
G
