Mercury Square Jupiter - Mercury enters Capricorn
The Gemini Full Moon is ruled by the planet of communication, Mercury, who will just be moving into somber Capricorn on Dec. 6, and finishing up a stressful square aspect to expansive Jupiter (exact Dec. 5). Mercury-Jupiter is another indicator of exaggerated Full Moon feels, and a tendency to excessive speech when fewer words will do. But it can also indicate receiving a fresh perspective on what this Mars retrograde wants to bring forth in our lives. So much about this Mars retrograde period of time involves evaluating and refining our choices to find the right mix of goals and activities, and allowing any experimentation to evolve as we gain greater understanding.
We may find ourselves tossed into the mix, though, as Mercury heads towards their final retrograde for the year.
Mercury enters the shadow of their retrograde on Dec. 12, and appears to stand still on Dec. 29, retracing his steps until he returns to direct motion on Jan. 18, and traverses the retrograde shadow through Feb. 7. Mercury spends this entire two months in Capricorn (Dec. 6 - Feb. 11), where he would ordinarily spend only a few weeks, emphasizing the need to define our boundaries and limits, to be consistent and to set achievable goals for ourselves. Many of us will spend the incoming Mercury retrograde period in a process of discerning who our allies are and who we would be better off releasing, as well as transforming our relationships and partnerships of all kinds.
Sometimes our ideas about people or energies undergo transformation—because we see the roles we play for each other more clearly—not just with human beings, but also with archetypal forces such as money, love, beauty and pleasure.
Venus Square Neptune - Venus Square Jupiter
Venus is the planet who signifies money, love, beauty and pleasure, and she makes a challenging square aspect (exact Dec. 3) to Neptune, stirring up our ideal images of enjoyment and divine union, love and abundance. On the difficult end of the spectrum, Neptune can bring in a tinge of the unreal or unrealizable, always setting the most attractive things just outside of our grasp. It could be that some of us have worked ourselves into a romanticized fantasy about a person, a project or a partnership, only to meet with the intensities of the Gemini Full Moon on Dec. 7. At that moment, some reality may begin to puncture the fantasy, but it’s important to remember that a sour taste of disillusionment is not reality itself—the opposite of an over-idealization is probably just another over-idealization.
It may be challenging, but it’s wise to restrain our impulses and wait to draw conclusions for a few days after the Dec. 7 Full Moon, as our emotions settle out and the full truth becomes more apparent.
On the positive side of this Venus-Neptune influence, it will be important to let our hearts expand to imagine big, and to reach for the stars above, so that we can welcome in new life-giving energy and hope. Neptune, the planet of dreams, imagination and delusion, appears to stand still in the sky, stationing to return to direct motion on Dec. 3, emphasizing his powers and influence over our lives. It will be equally important to give these dreams an honorable and fitting place—what begins as aspiration can eventually become concrete over time—so that the values they represent can guide us to the financial or other energy exchanges which can make those dreams a reality in this world.
When Venus enters Capricorn on Dec. 9 (until Jan. 2), she will shift gears to the brass tacks of how to attract what we need, and has no time to entertain such big dreams. Catch them while you can!
Especially with Venus square Jupiter (exact Dec. 9), there is a strong element of seeking freedom and expansion, exploring new opportunities and social scenes. Many of us will have to consider the merits of independence and of partnership, and the benefits and constraints of both. Venus-Jupiter could also have us spending too much money on luxury items, which is yet another impulse we may all want to be judicious about! And while so many of us need more spontaneity and willingness to take risks in our lives, the Gemini Full Moon suggests that we be gentle with ourselves and others as we move through any emotional overwhelm and find the courage to embrace what serves our highest good.
Full Moon in Gemini - By Moon Sign
The Moon represents who we are before we even think about who we are. She represents our instinctual self, and she describes our deepest vulnerabilities as well as our most profound capacity to connect with others. Full Moons amplify energy and emotions. This Moon is filled with passionate intensity, impulsivity, and some desire to clear the air of any confusion.
Let’s see how the Gemini Full Moon impacts your own Moon placement!
Aries Moon
Herbs for energizing the brain
Firing off a provocative opinion to anyone in earshot may get the big reaction you’re hoping for, but be mindful of the consequences for your career or for your public image.

Taurus Moon
Herbs to boost energy
Someone or something is trying to break you out of a rut, Taurus Moon, and it might feel a little abrupt or abrasive. There is more than a silver lining to the story of this Gemini Full Moon; there is a treasure trove of gold waiting on the other side of your discomfort with daring to dream of (and take!) bigger risks than usual.
Gemini Moon
Herbs to soothe a hot temper
This is YOUR Full Moon for 2022, Gemini Moon! And all this Mars business may have you pretty hot under the collar.

You may be more vulnerable than you realize, and can care for your own emotional well-being by being tactful with other people.
Cancer Moon
Herbs to deepen emotional connections
This is a pretty piercing lunation for you, Cancer Moon, as it wants to excavate the depths of your being and is forcing you to find a new narrative for all the different pieces that are uncovered. Some of these pieces will be familiar and other pieces foreign to you, but allowing a new story to emerge promises to greatly enrich your relationships and sense of connection with loved ones.
Leo Moon
Herbs for strength + vitality
Your sense of belonging to one or more groups is challenged by the Gemini Full Moon. Whether it is a difference of ideas or the interpretation of ideas, or disagreements over the proper rites and rituals of your clan, you’re likely to dig your heels in and fight for what you think is right, even if it makes you an outcast.
Virgo Moon
Herbs for creativity + sexual stimulation
Unfettered, unedited, raw explosions of creativity, Virgo Moon, is what it looks like for you under the Gemini Full Moon.

Let it get messy!
Libra Moon
Herbs for calming mind + mood
You may be quite fervent about your ideals and the meaning you make of life, Libra Moon, as Mars ignites your philosophical passions under the Gemini Full Moon. Be wary of defending against information or feelings that don’t fit in your grand scheme of cosmic cooperation, because those little irritations can help you grow a much better understanding of the choices laid out before you.

Your first response may be to get defensive and make excuses, but you’ll get a lot further by reflecting on why you feel the need to exaggerate in the first place. A deeper understanding of your habits of mind and expression can emerge, and both repair the current situation and free you from future problems, Sagg Moon.

This is a good time for revitalizing that sacred duty.
Pisces Moon
Herbs to support meditation
The Gemini Full Moon would like you to examine the roots and foundation of your life, Pisces Moon.
