December 17, 2013 Full Moon In Gemini : Getting Your Mind Right for the New Year

The time has come! The last full moon of the year is upon us, presenting us with our last opportunity to wash away the muck and bullshit of the last 12 months and mentally prepare ourselves for a fresh new start for 2014.

The moon will officially go full at 4:28 am EST in the sign of Gemini. Being ruled by the planet Mercury (the ability to weave thought an action), Gemini lords over the intellectual realm and concerns our thoughts in relationship to our immediate environment or reality.

During this time, we are being asked to become more aware of our thoughts. Because our thoughts influence our reality, we must pay great attention to what’s going on in our mind if we are ever to find peace, success and fulfillment in the new year.

For many of us, this year was a kicker and play- no- games Saturn in Scorpio (responsibilities, delays, limitations)  made sure we were put through the fire in some way. And as much as the fire burned our asses, we were simultaneously being primed for a Phoenix-style rebirth. The Gemini full moon will allow us to triumphantly rise again in the new year if we are willing to change our mental attitudes where needed by detaching ourselves from negative thought patterns.

Because the moon is full, we are in a period of release. We are being asked to let go of toxic thoughts, pessimism, limiting beliefs, and thoughts that no longer serve, empower or uplift. Anxious thoughts of insecurity, fear, doubt, shame and melancholy must to be examined and replaced. Gemini’s energy is light and breezy, asking us to lighten up and adopt a sunnier disposition. We can no longer commiserate and brood in the failures and heartaches of our past. We must now tell a new story and find the light at the end of the tunnel so that we can emerge from our previous darkness.

Take this  time to perform a mental detox. All those voices in your head holding you back, shout them down and shut them up. All the thoughts of unforgiveness you have for yourself and others, let them go. Disconnect from thoughts that separate you from what it is that you are seeking. Banish thoughts of yours that deceive or play tricks on you. Purge the mental noise and pollution. When the mental landscape is refreshed, new ideas, realities and possibilities can arise thus equipping us with fuel to write a new chapter in the book of our own lives. And with the upcoming new moon in Capricorn on January 1, 2014, it has the possibility to be absolutely classic!
