Full Moon at 4 degrees Gemini, 4:16 am EST on November 27, 2023
Overview
This full moon follows the highly charged new moon in Scorpio earlier in the month. That new moon may have revealed emotions, desires or even beliefs that are not integrated in our current reality. How are you responding to any catalysts that came into your life alongside that new moon? What do you need to accept or let go of to evolve your understanding into something more experiential and less conceptual or thought driven?
This full moon in Gemini brings an opportunity to question the wholeness of our thoughts and the larger belief systems they belong to. Because our minds can only perceive in parts, it builds thoughts into concepts that we can use to navigate life. If there’s a gap, the brain will fill it in, so it’s essential for us to bring our whole organism to that process, all the while staying in a playful, curious learning mode. When we leave the framework of our life up to the mind alone, we will inevitable get lost in thoughts that become contradictory or even false and we lose the potential for guidance by our intuition as well as our intellect. The shadows that are illuminated by the light of the moon showing us the way become boogeymen that drive us from our path rather than helpful markers of consciousness that’s less evolved. By bringing our heart into the process, and by gently witnessing the movements of our minds we can harness this full moon to bring us closer to a true, multi-dimensional knowing and navigating our reality.
The moon is answering to mercury in Sagittarius which is in the shadow of it’s upcoming retrograde (Dec 14-Jan 3, and from 22 degrees Sagittarius to 8 degrees Capricorn). Mercury is aligned by trine with the north node in Aries and by sextile to Venus in Libra, while the sun is still in a conjunction with Mars in Sagittarius and squaring Saturn in Pisces. There are chapters to this story that will continue to unfold between now and the end of it’s shadow phase on January 21, 2024 when it finally clears the degree of it’s shadow at 22 degrees of Sagittarius.
There’s a karmic element of binding and bringing together while simultaneously dissolving and separating something. The challenge and gift for Gemini is to make chaos constructive and to allow for new stories to evolve by embracing the ability and willingness to see from every level of consciousness, not just the one that keeps the pattern intact. The story that doesn’t change has ended, it’s no longer alive and instead relies on someone to tell it, to sell it, or exchange for it. I’m sure there’s at least one story you’re tired of telling yourself or others, so take up the task for this full moon. Try to translate patterns of great significance and meaning into something that can be embodied without simplifying or trivializing them into a label or concept just so they can fit in your head. Try to step into a bigger dimension of consciousness and a new paradigm that allows all the pieces to organize themselves rather than needing to push them or hold them in place.
Listen with your heart to what feels like a capricious whim or unexpected information. Where are they leading you? Do you feel safe? Do you feel limited? Step into the story that you’re living your life by and imagine a new narrative. Which labels are no longer appropriate? How does it feel to embark on something without a label?
Keep yourself open to the unexpected and entertain some of the trickster energy that this full moon brings by allowing it to settle into your body. Let yourself take the time to understand that doubt without falling prey to the division that fear and uncertainty can create. While separation or judgement of an external factor or influence can keep us feeling safe, question the false sense of security that only serves to distance us from the source of uncertainty which in turn disconnects us from learning and engaging deeply with the world. To support your continued evolution during this full moon, ask yourself:
- What story are you attached to?
- Is that story really true?
- What perspective or point of view is opened up if you let go of that narrative?
- How would this new perspective change your momentum or direction in life?

A note about the AI generated image. I wanted to portray a woman reflecting her different faces (Gemini moon). The prompt was ‘a woman standing in a hall of mirrors’. The featured image above is in the same style as the 2023 New Moon in Scorpio image, but I also generated some others in the style of famous Gemini artists.
