Temple of the Muse/Gemini Full Moon

Art: EVER MOVING TOWARDS THE LIGHT by Jeffrey Smith

TEMPLE OF THE MUSE - TIME OF TRANSITION

The Gemini Full Moon, is exact at 11:34 pm. And let me tell you, the symbolism of passing through Gateways of Transition is everywhere.

Gemini’s glyph is the Roman numeral II. Representing the threshold or columns that stand outside the temple doors. Inviting us through a sacred or mystical gateway. It’s the union of intellect and intuition, and the joining of duality.

The Full Moon at 27 degrees Gemini is sitting just at the Galactic Edge reflecting Her light back to the Sun at the Galactic Center, 27 Sagittarius. The galactic center and the galactic edge are known as the portal or stargate of our Milkyway Galaxy.

Both Sagittarius and Gemini are signs that represent our intellect and signify a heightened ability to receive messages from the great beyond. We may find our psychic awareness increased, with a greater capacity to decipher otherworldly, or greater galactic instructions on how to navigate the next leg of our journey. Expect sharp turns and jagged edges.

In addition, both Gemini and Sagittarius are active- Air and Fire signs. Causing the energy in the collective to be teeming with intensity. An almost inflammatory quickening.

In addition, we are on the precipice of Venus Stationing Retrograde conjunct Pluto on the 19th in Capricorn, a sign notoriously ensconced inside the constricting rings of Saturn. While Uranus squares Saturn again for the third time on December 24. This signature highlights a tension between stops and starts - progress and hindrance.

Together , these energies create something akin to a pressure cooker. There is a ton of frenetic energy in the air, with no release valve. Making us feel totally and completely surrounded on all sides with the walls closing in. Almost wired. There isn’t that sense of slow, spaciousness that often accompanies the winter solstice.

I’m feeling both physically and symbolically buried alive, stuck in the non-linear, insanity inducing underworld. Revving my engines, primed to bust the gates, yet the exit doors are locked. Maybe that’s because my personal life and recent experiences have so perfectly mirrored the great above. Forcing me to ask, how does being stuck in this tunnel of transition ultimately serve me?

I heard recently, that if we don’t have our own vision for our future, and the world we want to live in, one will be provided for us by people peddling a version of reality that suits their agenda. And for whatever reason, I’ve been struggling to keep that old religious narrative of doom and saviorism out of my field.

It is said that one of the biggest emergencies of our times is the lack of buy in on a healthy modern mythology. It has left a void within the collective, making it easy for bad actors to co-opt our imagination, and present us with their own storyline.

I think for me, this has largely been the force I’ve been grappling with. However, this Full Moon could provide the perfect outlet to channel this sense of madness into something constructive for our future. To begin to really shade in the details for the more beautiful world we all know is possible.

Given all of high frequency, free floating energy, the moon becomes the perfect MUSE.

With her gorgeous trine to Jupiter in the late degrees of Aquarius, future visioning is enhanced. We are aided in expanding any tunnel vision, to include more than just the narrow construct presented on the screen. Helping us to tune out of the small human dramas, and tune into the larger universal mythos, that includes the rebirth of the light in just a few days.

With Mercury in Capricorn trine Uranus in Taurus, this is the perfect time connect into messages that are light years ahead, and use them to illuminate and transform our personal and collective mythology, and even begin to methodically put it in action. Both Capricorn and Taurus are earth signs, providing fertile ground to root these new narratives.

In the meantime, for myself, as I’m crafting this fresh script for my life, stepping through the mystical gateway of transition, I will be releasing and trusting that the universe has my back. And avoiding the trap of getting dragged down by the small stories and petty dramas that threaten to pull me out of alignment with who I really am; a Holy Innocent Child, full of paradox. Both Human and Divine. I’ve been so lost in fear and scarcity recently, that I forgot that there is an elegant alchemy that takes place when we trust in the inherent perfection of it all. And that’s where I’m planting my flag for this Full Muse Moon.
