Gemini Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse ~ November 30, 2020

At 4:31 a.m. Eastern US time on November 30, 2020, we’ve got a Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse at 8°38′ Gemini. This is a North Node Eclipse, in that the transiting North Node will be at 19°53′ Gemini. While not a close conjunction, in context of a possible 360°, the energies of Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse and the collective’s North Node flag this as a destiny level transit.

For me personally, this event occurs exactly between my natal Mercury and Venus. On the collective level, this Full Moon will quincunx Venus at 10°57′ Scorpio. Again, it’s not an exact hit, but we’ll all feel the influence. Quincunx energies feel uncomfortable, with an urge to integrate things that seemingly have nothing in common. Connecting Venus and a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse increases tensions in relationships, love, creative expression of emotions, and a need to find new balance in what and how we value things, including inner being.

Love Goddess Venus in deep, dark, smoldering Scorpio will also oppose volatile Uranus and Black Moon Lilith in Taurus. Whenever Uranus and Black Moon Lilith come together, they seem to bring out extra levels of surprise, change and reactivity. Plan ahead for this potential: be aware of any urge to fly off the handle. Uranus brings liberation, and Black Moon Lilith in her highest expression gets us back in touch with our inner Wild Woman. Approached in a conscious way, this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse offers a chance for radical self-acceptance. Reacted to in an unconscious way, this combo could urge intense projections onto “the Other.” Pause before you project. Breathe it all in and out, then assess the situation.

On collective and personal levels, new information about emotions and relationships (Moon) will be obscured (eclipsed) and then revealed. Gemini deals with duality, so some of this new information might feel counter-intuitive or contradictory. Do your best to roll with it. This is a powerful, collective destiny level event, which means it’s necessary to human evolution.

Because of the eclipse, the meaning will probably not seem clear at first. As it starts to become clear, it will probably do so through a lens of “this and that are true.” For more ideas of how this could play out, please see:

Energies remain intense for quite awhile longer. Most people are at least a little bit on edge, some more than others. Remember to spend time in Nature, and pay attention to any dreams, especially around the time of the eclipse. As the collective roils and boils, we’ve all got our own internal super volcanoes churning from the depths of the Unconscious and Subconscious. Everything reveals itself in the proper time and way, despite appearances.

When we lean into the energies of big events, we get more out of them. They also tend to carry us along instead of knocking us off our feet. Whatever surprises arrive before, during and especially after the eclipse, try to play with the information. Curiosity might kill the proverbial cat, but curiosity saves the Gemini. Open your mind. You can usher in delight when you allow yourself to realize that “this and that are true.”

Gemini Full Moon Lunar Eclipse

Today we have another guest post from the lovely Electra Jung. She discusses the upcoming Gemini Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, along with some important Uranus information. In reading her words, I recognize the shared experience of many clients and friends, even though I seem somehow to be floating through this Mercury Retrograde. Closing my Facebook account at the same time I’ve delved into The Mists of Avalon and continue winterizing our house all seem to have insulated me from much of the prevailing chaos. Instead, I keep sensing such overwhelming freedom, joy, and optimism. I know they’re coming! I see, feel, hear — even smell and taste the shift. No matter how bleak the “news,” I just can’t shake my sense that everything’s gonna be not only OK … but wonderful!!

In the meantime, if you’re feeling a bit off kilter, here’s what’s happening in the sky. Thanks, as always, to Electra for sharing her wisdom and observations with us:

Gemini Full Moon Lunar Eclipse

December 10, 2011 7:36 MST

(and Mercury continues to retrograde!)

Can’t remember anything anymore!

This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in the sign of the Twins inwardly represents the conscious mind. Mercury is the ruling planet of this lunation and continues to provide endless mental and emotional overwhelm and lack of focus though its weakened retrograde motion. …we are in a state of confusion! This full moon in the sign of the mental intellectual creates an atmosphere of depression and vulnerability as confidence and outward progress are restricted and worry sets in.

Memory and focus are the challenges to overcome. The awareness of these create chaos as we experience lack in memory, promises made and forgotten — creative thinking is challenged by dullness and lack of originality. The requirements now are for careful observation of your own re-actions toward change and conflict in your daily life.

When was the last time you had so many forgotten commitments, appointments, inability to reach someone who was previously available and on top of it all…why can’t you remember something so important a minute ago? Could you be losing your mind or just getting …dementia?

Full Moons are always about relationship with yourself and the imbalance between your ego and emotions, your will to act or re-act according to the situation at hand. Either personal, professional or spiritual, it is time to balance. The challenging interactions between yourself and others will be given the opportunity for resolution of on-going issues which seem to never reach conclusion.

Endless talking, mindless thinking, along with anxiety and the inability to sleep as you repeatedly forget and remember what direction you were heading…how you wish to express yourself: this difficult time is enhanced by negative, obsessive thinking due to the continuing retrograde of Mercury.

The true nature of a retrograde planet is to turn the energy inward indicating the time for personal retreat …a “time-out” for reflection of past actions, especially spoken words, which have led to current conditions. … and develop awareness of the rational, superficial expression used to communicate without making any real contact.

“All eclipses, whether solar or lunar, have the potential to change your circumstances. Eclipses are expressed through a crisis of some kind, whether it is a real crisis or not, it may feel very real to you. Many times a new beginning involves letting go of something from the past, whether it be a person, a relationship, an object, or a behavior. This is especially true during a lunar eclipse.”

The planetary activity is creating a lot of intense energy. The challenging interactions between yourself and others will be given the opportunity for resolution of on-going issues which seem to never reach conclusion.

The retrograde cycle now reveals the inner-need to reassess our thoughts, emotional needs and words, which have been used to remain detached and protected. This is the time to reconnect with true feelings and restructure the words and communications with others to maintain more nourishing and meaningful relationships.

Previously stated and worth re-mentioning… Full Moons can lead to illuminating insights or painful alienation due to the energetic tendency to “project.” We are to withdraw from the addiction to the continual overload of ideas, news, feedback, connecting to social networks through the modern digital age wireless communication.

From the personal to the collective, we all are faced with the need to build upon experience in some areas of life, while being open to necessary changes in others. This requires awareness. To be aware, we must stop and pay attention objectively watch ourselves in action.

Uranus stations direct

Today as Uranus re-directs at the powerful Solstice degree we will see everything accelerate. We will collectively discover our character and humanity as we face changes and continuing crises.

Most of us will resist change but change is coming never-the-less. A traditional meaning of this transit is “out with the old, in with the new”.

“You can live a lifetime and, at the end of it, know more about other people than you know about yourself.” — Beryl Markham

Uranus direct encourages a de-conditioning of ingrained social patterns and conditioning. It is now the time to become more aware of authentic selves and express unique and previously repressed originality.

We live most of our lives by habit. These habits keep us stuck in patterns that limit our experience of life. Once we detect a pattern we were previously unconscious of, we can choose differently, if we want. With awareness comes choice and with choice, we gain freedom.

[A note from Laura: Uranus is the planet that rules the zodiac sign of Aquarius. As in the Age of Aquarius. My friend Tim Glenn calls Uranus “the cosmic weirdo.” Expect some wild, weird stuff. Embrace unconventional solutions when they arrive, and please don’t be afraid to claim your freedom. 🙂 Happy Full Moon Lunar Eclipse! Thanks again to Electra for this post.
