A Full Moon in Gemini brings a culmination/climax to meaningful dialogues, perceptions, and conversations. Imagine the emergence of new insights, data, gossip, and knowledge that change our beliefs about particular matters. This effect is likely amplified by the Moon's conjunction with Mars retrograde which can make a lot of what is climaxing seem fated, serendipitous, or karmic.

In general, a Gemini Full Moon brings a lot to think about and process, yet with the presence of Mars, there is likely a more intensive emotional dimension to this. Think amplified passion, sexual desire, or aggressiveness. Also, Mars conjunct a Full Moon in Gemini can catalyze a clearer sense of the divisions, separations, and differences between ourselves and others.

Another dimension to this Full Moon culmination may be a realization about certain actions we need to take. Mars' retrograde cycle since late October has likely compelled us to reflect more deeply on existential issues, freewill, autonomy, and the daily actions we take to get where we want to go in life.

Yet also, with Mars retrograde and conjunct this Full Moon, we may also experience the inverse of how we typically experience this archetype. Where our expression of Mars may have been toward actively seeking some specific desire, we may suddenly find our normal drives and impulses directed in a completely different direction.

Neptune is also stationing direct and widely squaring this Full Moon and Mars. For many of us, this Full Moon may relate to some critical turning points and the emergence of crossroads. More clarity may emerge now about issues we've been confused, perplexed, or ambivalent about. Yet also think, reflect, and go inward before taking specific actions. Consider whether your efforts are directed toward love or self-interest and which side you want to be on. Be patient with yourself and others, and trust that emerging frustrations won't last long.
