Gemini Full Moon Timings
Dec 2nd 2:31 am East Coast; 7:31 am England or
Dec 1st 11:31 pm West Coast and 9:31 pm in Hawaii

Full Moon is an opportunity for action, to release and expand in in the world. Our closest planetary body, the Moon symbolizes where we feel most at home and emotional connection.

Gemini Full Moon is about networking and communication - potent Gemini astrology themes. This Full Moon shines light on these areas through your writing, teaching, and talking abilities. Here's a great time to network and multitask. Opposite the Sun in questing Sagittarius, this Gemini Full Moon window poses the question: "How do I use my Gemini gifts of communication on my spiritual path?" "What information can I gather to support my quest for the deeper meanings of life?"

Other planetary patterns occurring on this Full Moon suggest clarity of spiritual content and getting the word out in creative and inventive ways. Here, critical tension builds for new forms of expression (Mercury in Saggitarius square Uranus in Pisces).

On a personal and professional note, our recent experiences at the Network Transformational Gate weekend  in Como, Italy and San Francisco served as a springboard to inspire action in how we share our life, love and our work. Look for new forms of astrological updates coming soon from Gemini Awakening.

Pictorial Spotlight on Mars

As Mars nears its December 20th retrograde, it is becoming brighter and more noticeable in the pre-dawn sky. Look for a bright, amber colored, star-like object that does not twinkle above the eastern horizon. This brightening occurs because Earth is catching up, or drawing closer to Mars, as both continue their orbital dance around the Sun.


Retrograde means a slowing down, then a temporary reversal of position in the sky background. Ordinarily, Mars moves through one sign of the zodiac in about 5 weeks. However, at retrograde, the lingering stretches this time frame to over 8 months. 


As the astrological archetype of Mars continues its 8 month journey through the sign of Leo, it brings Leo like attention to itself in a variety of ways. In part, the Leo archetype enjoys being on center stage. It relishes the spotlight and the adulation that sometimes occurs. This is a wonderful time to shine a spotlight on the inner Mars of your astrological natal chart, exploring ways to recalibrate and re-energize its vibration over the coming Mars retrograde months. 

If you'd like a free copy of your natal chart and our Astrological Interpretation Guide, send us an e-mail with your birth information (date, time, location).

The inner journey of Mars has an outer journey too. The Boston Globe's tri-weekly photo series "The Big Picture" puts its Leo-like spotlight on the planet Mars and its mysterious, artistic landscape. This pictorial journey may be found here. Wonderful timing for this sort of information. "Why" you might ask? Today the magnetic Moon moves through early degrees Leo and conjoins or meets Mars. How's that for magnetic spotlight magic!
