There is duality in the air, and it’s a kind of magic. We’ll be juggling balls and spinning plates. We are very busy, struggling to sleep and enjoy quiet time, while getting emotional about our ability to keep up with everything. We are going to feel our nerves fraying, as we are trying to do two different things simultaneously, and hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. The energy is mutable. The sun is in Sagittarius and the moon is in Gemini. Volatility and excitability will permeate at this time. The Full Moon takes place on 27 November, 2023, at 09:16 GMT, and at 04 degrees and 51 minutes of Gemini. The full moon’s dispositor, Mercury, is in exile in Sagittarius trying to apply logic to faith and becoming overwhelmed by the vastness of possibilities. As indeed are we at the point of the full moon and around that time. We can feel it in no uncertain terms that we are moving away from one season into the next. We are going from autumn into winter (in the northern hemisphere). And the energies support this unsettling, frenzied change in our calendar and in our lives.
What all that business and lack of conclusive results does, is that it signals fundamental change happening right now and our efforts to stir it in a pleasing direction. But change often happens regardless. Full moons bring illumination and culmination. They have a history to events happening around that time. This one seems to bring more confusion and noise from the past and raise the volume rather than point to specific outcomes. The sun in Sagittarius brings light to the future with optimism and excitability. Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, deals better with issues relating to the loss of light, a curious mind, and a detailed plan. This conflict will be felt most strongly.
The Two of Coins show a level of unbalanced effort. Possibly a sense of volatility. We need to harmonise with our environment instead of going back and forth. Things are coming and going. Coins signify materiality, so we are referring to substantial physical events and practical things, like money and possessions, daily routines and our immediate environment. And there is a sense of instability in that respect. In simple words, we are trying to fill gaps with our money – as one example – but our finances are more of a juggle rather than a reassuringly constant resource. We need something more than rearranging the furniture. It is not coming.
Yet we can find completion in the process. The World card sits in the middle of the spread bringing to focus what the underlying meaning to all this activity is. It almost works counter-intuitive to the Two of Coins, which alludes to fragmentation and imbalance. Instead, The World tells us that there is a whole and that we are part of it with our individual choices. Gemini is the sign of choice. We belong in this ever changing condition of options and choices, and we form part of a completing story line. Fluctuation of resources, and our words and action, can be real or imaginary. Either way, we are affected by that prospect and concerned about its impact on our lives as we are also dealing with communication, meetings, commitment to plans, and market forces in general, shopping, buying and selling, writing, publishing. All things mercurial will take centre stage.
With Mercury in Sagittarius though, it will not be the cold wind of logic, but the warm thought of idealisation to envelop us in its embrace. We care about the bigger picture and higher knowledge, and we re going to talk and write about it for others to share with us.
The fidgeting that comes with worry about lack of resources will not stop us. We have The Magician at the front. We can make it happen. Believe that. Act according to belief and faith that what ever we do will lead to the right outcome even if we are overwhelmed by what’s happening on the ground, in real life, and in the real world. So, while we want to do this and that, and in the end we get distracted and curious and end up doing something completely different, we will still succeed. What comes out will not be part of the original plan. Because that special element of Gemini chance will bring out the magic. The Sagittarius bow and arrow is aiming, but not targeting yet, while its ruler Jupiter is in retrograde and withholding its strength. But this is soon about to change. At the same time, Mercury has come out of the depths of Scorpio, fortified with intensity and embodied concrete intuitive knowledge, into the light of abundant Sagittarius. That special ingredient will make it all come together and bring out the gifts of fortune. By breaking it apart. We can’t block the process. It is all happening now. We are living through it. In the present, The Magician tells us that we have the will power and skills to see us through to a healing outcome.
