On Sunday 15th La Luna will shine bright in this year's last Full Moon of the year at 23 ° peaking at 9:01 am GMT in the UK in the air sign of Gemini.

This is a time to fully let go of what is no longer serving you, the lessons and all of 2024 that is no longer serving you.

A Full Moon happens once a month (sometimes twice) and can be used as a comic gift, a reset, if you will support yourself to check in with yourself. Checking in with any thing you would like to let go of, to support you in any new habits you would like to develop.

With new beginnings the energy of change in the air this is the time to honour these callings as she moves towards her fullness supporting the seeds you wish to grow.

As we are human beings and created with 70% water, it is only normal for us to feel the effects of the Moon closely, just like the tides. We are all so unique and different that a Moon cycle will affect us differently along with our cycles. 

In ancient times, the Moon was observed to change over a 29-day period that coincided with a woman's reproductive cycle. The ancients observed how the Moon affected the tides and by tracking it alongside the sun, they developed calendars to predict agricultural rhythms. The Sun was the life-giving force, but the Moon played an important role in predicting rainfall. In this way, the moon inspired culture for the ancients, when hunter and gatherers established civilisations centred on planting and harvesting. 

By connecting back to our ancient ways of being and living closer to the rhythms of nature we can connect better to ourselves.

In astrology, the Moon is associated with the subconscious and our instinctive, unconscious behaviour. Its cycles can be used to blend both the tangible and intangible. Working with lunar cycles allows us to intentionally engage our feeling nature, and how it unconsciously helps us with the law of attraction. Just like dreams, what cannot be accomplished during the day can be given over to our larger bodies while we sleep and rest in the evenings. 

What does this mean for you?

This Full Moon should be a time for reflection, a moment to be proud of all that you have overcome this year. Through all the ups and downs, through all the trials and lessons, here you are still alive and hopeful and ready to embody the lessons that 2024 has brought. You are now stronger and wiser with a deepening understanding of the world we live in that has allowed your spiritual journey to grow and surrender to this life we are in.

Are you ready to fully let go? Let go of what no longer is needed to move forward as we prepare to step into a new year of fresh and endless possibilities. What do we want to leave behind in the ashes of 2024? As come 2025 you will be reborn like the phoenix – full of wisdom, confidence, and strength because lets be honest…this has been a TOUGH year.

This coming energy is a time to start setting those intentions, and thinking about what you want to bring to life with clarity in 2025.

Spend time over the coming days journaling about what you want to let go off and let it all out of the system as we don’t have time for holding onto the past and what no longer serves us. We are evolving at a high rate and in order to do this, we must let go and start embodying the person we wish to be or opportunities we wish to seek. It’s asking us to step up into our future self and doing this will help us get there faster.

Remember Gemini is represented by the twins, where one twin is mortal and the other immortal. Thus creating a dynamic that  supports us on our spiritual journey to the higher plane and keeping us grounded in the earthly realm…seeking a balance and curiosity between the two.

Dancing this dance between our physical body and that supports us but perhaps at times takes over in not the best way, and this is when we need to make time to connect to our eternal spiritual body is what life is all about. While we can recognise we are a loving, eternal, and forever soul, we still have to navigate the physical realm and all the emotions and stresses that come with it. These everyday stressors and pressures cause us to get stuck in this space of feeling extremely limited and stuck that we forget about the ethereal and that there is much more than our physical reality to connect with.

We are all supported by the cosmos and when we take to meditate and connect we have that reminder that there is more going on than we can perceive and our needs will always be met.

So, this Full Moon serves to empower us to honour both body and soul. To not separate from our responsibilities or blame our egos as  this creates more division but rather, work on bringing balance to all the wonderful parts of ourselves that makes us unique…we are spiritual beings having a human experience.

As a gentle reminder with Full Moons, remember that our emotions may feel heightened or more serious than we thought and that’s because we may feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or depleted by everything we have going on and we are being asked to release and let go.

We also see Mercury stationing directly shortly after this Full Moon. Mercury has been retrograde since November 25th, causing some added confusion or perhaps some miscommunications.

When Mercury stations direct shortly after the peak of this Full Moon, it will emerge from the underworld with new messages to share and new tales to tell…hopefully you will have emerged feeling inspired and ready to start taking action. 

With Mars retrograde make sure you are nurturing self care as the upcoming months globally will be bumpy so we need to be in good shape and strong in our wellbeing including mentally, spiritually and physically…what can you do more often to ground meditate more often? Schedule time off from social media for more self care than you have ever dedicated to yourself and enjoy this time to yourself.

Some ways to work with this Gemini Full Moon:

·Ground yourself - a gentle grounding meditation visualising your roots anchoring you in the belly of Mother Earth for support or going to the park/ nature and putting your feet on the ground with the intention to ground, inviting Mother Nature to support and ground you…you can even lay down

·A soothing bath/ shower with your favourite essential oils with the intention of relaxation and soothing your soul

·Meditation to quieten the mind, body, and soul to bring you back to your heart centre so you are operating from a space of the heart Chakra

·Working with fire elements like burning a candle and meditating with the flame

·On scrap pieces of paper, write out three words that represent the behaviour and/or feelings you wish to release and burn into the candle flame or in a bowl of water under the night sky or a quiet place in your home embodying that emotion and calling in your spirit helpers to help you release. At the end using the words “be gone, so mote it be”

·Then in your journal swap the narrative with an affirmation that is positive inversion of what you released (for example: you released “fear of being seen” the affirmation might be “ it’s safe for me to seen and share my wisdom and knowledge to support others”)

·Charging your crystal under the Full Moon sky outside or on the window ledge

·Make Moon water with an intention or affirmation by leaving a covered glass or jar outside or by the window ledge to charge

·Dance to your favourite tunes as you shake your hips to help release any blockages in your Sacral and Root Chakra…remeber this where we store and hold onto our emotions so let it all out

Sending you many Full Moon blessings!

Much love and gratitude,
