This week we have a Full Moon in Gemini! Carry on reading to find out why this is such a special time, plus our favourite Full Moon ritual, and the crystals we recommend for you to use.
This Full Moon is often referred to as The Cold Moon as the cold Winter weather has really fastened its grip on the Earth at this time. We need to be preparing for new beginnings by creating a place of sanctuary within us by being still and meditating.
The energy is light and airy! It is a powerful and positive Full Moon for all Air and Fire signs, but more challenging for Earth and Water signs.
With so much to talk about with this Full Moon, here is a quick overview. Simply select the link below to go to the section you are looking for:
Why is a Full Moon important?
The night of the Full Moon represents possibility, unfolding potential and abundance as one of our New Moon intentions could be about to manifest or be on its way. From this point on we are aware of the consequences of the cycle and can make conscious choices about any further development.
Each month the Full Moon takes place in a different sign, bringing a new and different energy and theme to work with. The Full Moon always occupies the polar opposite sign to that of the Sun.
We need to spend time outside and look up at the Moon (if it is visible), connect to our basic instincts and feel wild and free. Our ancestors have danced and celebrated under the light of the Full Moon throughout time and in surrendering to the present moment we are then open to receiving what is available to us right now.
Affirmation: I surrender to spirit and open my heart to infinite possibilities
We can go within to release the past, shift blocks and heal ourselves. This is easiest when we remember that forgiveness and gratitude are the major players at any Full Moon. The Full Moon is shining so brightly at this time that it is illuminating the darkness to help us see exactly what inner work needs to be done.
How will this Full Moon in Gemini affect us?
At the Full Moon, the Moon and Sun are sat directly opposite each other with the Sun illuminating the Moon. They are both in signs that are totally opposite sides of the zodiac but need to find balance and common ground. They represent opposite ends of the spectrum, neither good nor bad, just what is. This month the Sun is in Sagittarius and the Moon is in Gemini. We are looking to find the balance between what is near (Gemini) and what is far (Sagittarius), wanting to know everything and taking the time to really learn. This helps us find our flow through the process of transformation.
The energy is changeable!
How to embrace the Full Moon
We live in a world of energy, or better yet, a web of energy where all things are connected. There are no gaps in this energy, so when we shift and release lower frequencies from our energy field it creates a void that we can then consciously choose to fill with something of a higher nature, with a super-high frequency. Basically, it's out with the old and in with the new. Creating a ritual is the perfect way to work through this process. Here is our suggestion for a Full Moon Ritual:
Step 1: Forgiveness holds the releasing power and creates a void.
Forgiveness is the first step in the healing process as we have to release the past so we can live the life of our dreams. Forgiveness sets us free as when we forgive, we release the karma which binds us to a person, situation or experience and allows us to be free of it. It does not mean that we condone the actions of someone else, it just allows us to let go and move on. This is such a gift as we can release the burdens we carry and choose to do something far healthier with our energy instead.
Forgiveness affirmation: I release the past with love in my heart
Step 2: Gratitude holds the power to fill the void.
We can fill the gaps created by forgiveness with gratitude as it has such a high vibration. Gratitude is a magical attitude we can choose to have, it helps us to raise our frequency which makes us lighter and brighter and manifests more things for us to be grateful for.
Gratitude affirmation: I know that I am truly blessed and all is well in my world
Step 3: Guidance
I invite you to ask yourself some big questions under the Gemini Full Moon and then just feel the answers rise up from your heart. Use these five questions to help guide you:
Could I slow down and be more grounded and real with people?
Have I been mindful of other people's feelings?
Do I keep changing my mind?
Have I just been restless and verybusy, busy, busy?
Am I reading enough to keep expanding my mind?
Step 4: Meditate
Meditation is a great tool we can look to use daily, but it can take us to new levels when we meditate and harness the energy that surrounds us during the different stages of moon cycles. Use meditation to help you clear your headspace and reframe. If you aren't sure where to start, you can watch our collection of meditation for beginners videos here.
Step 5: Use Crystals
Another phenomenal tool to harness is our crystals and their energy, they can help us at any or all stages of the Full Moon ritual. Moonstone can be used at any phase of the Lunar cycle. Selecting crystals intuitively is the best way to surround yourself with the energy you need but if you would like a starting point, here are three crystals we would recommend:
White Calcite
For its detoxifying effect on our thoughts that will set us up in the long run for releasing old thought patterns and be able to embrace far more beneficial positive, spontaneous and empowering ones.
Blue Kyanite
By activating the mind centres it help us communicate more openly and also to be more precise with what we say and how we say it. Blue Kyanite is so fabulous at helping us to build bridges of all kinds on all levels while it dissolves outdated and unwanted emotional patterns.
Amethyst
Is great for helping to soothe and calm an overactive mind. It works to elevate us to higher states of consciousness.
Choose an affirmation, select the crystals you are drawn to and be prepared for this Full Moon. It's setting us up to navigate a more balanced way forward, one where we have increased awareness of the mind and the power of communication.
Love and crystal blessings,
