This Full Moon, with the Sun in imaginative Sagittarius, offers a visionary forecast of ‘Destination 2023’. Look to the sky to see the celestial treat on offer. The luminous Gemini Full Moon is so close to brilliant red Mars. The Moon in Gemini translates the Sagittarian vision into ideas and thoughts that add up to a recipe that is an enticing call to action. The Sagittarius sector holds high cosmic influences. The Sun on this Full Moon taps in to the Great Attractor, that melds all frequencies, seen and unseen, silent and clamorous, into a harmonious vision that sees through illusions. Take this personally and apply it to your life.

Still retrograde until January 12, Mars continues its busy-bee kaleidoscope of information and possibilities that can distract, but also open our minds to all sorts of options that we may not have seen before. It can be quite confusing, but also inspiring, with a square dance of new Kuiper Belt planetoids inviting us to engage our creative capacities via indigenous creator deities.
Note: Moons & Mythos #4, with Quantum Plant Healer, Davyd Farrell, is available! There is so much to say about this New/Full Moon cycle, with a compelling pattern of Kuiper Belt Objects adding profound nuances, especially on the Full Moon.  Moons & Mythos is an excellent adjunct to Cosmic Inspiration News. Our discussion includes much more than I can write, especially for this Full Moon, especially about the dynamic KBO influence. Video here.

Shamanic Teacher/Healer Chiron, in fire sign Aries, fully supports the adventurous nature of this full Moon, ready to explore enticing alternative pathways and options stimulated like dandelion fluff from the vigorous breeze of this Martian Full Moon in air sign Gemini.  Chiron turns direct on the New Moon of December 23, ready to set off fireworks of new initiatives and inventive incentives.

Mercury has stepped across the Capricorn cusp, now at 1+ degrees, forecasting the December 23rd New Moon in that same degree.

Venus is in late Sagittarius, ahead of the Sun at 27+ Sagittarius channeling the Galactic Center, the Heart of the Galaxy through our own hearts.

Where are you heading, what do you want to experience in the coming year?  Gemini offers a great variety of ‘pieces of a new ‘puzzle’ or storyline in your life. Your intuition speaks to you through your own particular inner knowing and spiritual perception. Your heart tells you what is true for you. Let your imagination soar beyond what you believe possible. If you can imagine something, it can be made manifest.

Do you believe in yourself?
Do you believe in your essential soul-stimulated creative capacity?
Do you believe in ‘magic’?

Jupiter, ruler of Sagittarius has to do with our beliefs, so often a subconscious influence. Back in Pisces with Neptune, some of these illusory beliefs dissolve.  Neptune is, in part, about having faith in the spiritual truth of You as a Drop of Light in the Sea of Life. You would not be here on Earth right now if you were not capable of rising to the occasion of this extraordinary revolutionary evolutionary moment of awakening and upliftment of our world and, indeed, our solar system.  It starts with you, and that is why you are so essential to the arising of collective consciousness and the invitation to add your heart sense to the Big Dream that we are envisioning and beginning to implement as we manifest our new way of Being and living in our world.

If you think that this is all a pipe dream, that you don’t count or have power, think again— which is just what Mars suggests. Look at things’, at life, at your life from a different angle. There are so many facets, various perspectives, like the rainbow of light radiating from a sunlit crystal.

Here’s a rockin’ playlist for this Full Moon:
Honoring Fleetwood Mac’s Christine Perfect McVie who left this world on November 30th, just a week ago, here are two songs she wrote for their iconic Rumours album that are worth listening to for inspiration on this Full Moon.
“Don’t Stop!” is a very Sagittarian song about letting go of the past and looking forward to the future.
“If you wake up and don’t want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You’ll see things in a different way.
Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone…”

“You Make Loving Fun” is about believing in miracles and magic. Let’s do it!
“I never did believe in miracles,
But I’ve a feeling it’s time to try.
I never did believe in the ways of magic
But I’m beginning to wonder why.”

It’s Sagittarius time!  Look through a positive lens, appreciating the glory, the beauty of life, of Nature. Let your Heart, connected to the Galactic Heart, show the way forward. Walk the Beauty Path. I share again this lovely video by Navaho Elder Wally Brown, talking about the Beauty Path as the Purpose of Life.

Sagittarius is a story telling sign, the time is ripe for an adventurous path forward, new storylines. Under this Gemini Full Moon, we retranslate old stories, add new interpretations, a fresh articulation. Envision new possibilities beyond old limiting systems, outmoded ways and means. Add heart-based, positive energy to your vision for the New Year, which is, in fact a new Era. Craft an adventure worth telling, a world exciting to live in. Pluto’s entrance into Aquarius looms before us, such a mind-bender. Let’s stand tall and imagine the best.

Stay centered and aligned while dealing with distractions, detours and alternating currents in the flow of your life. Gemini is typically a sign of instant feedback to what is going on around you and, more important within you. Now, with Mars retrograde, considered action is suggested as we head into 2023. Mars, Jupiter and Mercury (on 12/29) are all retrograde as we cross into the new year. They all turn forward in January like a series of green lights. “Proceed as way opens” is a classic Shaker proverb. By mid-January all planets are moving forward, in a series of green lights.

An edited passage from the last New Moon newsletter:
“Mars, retrograde in Gemini, asks us to be open-minded about what is happening. No taking for granted, but rather be curious. Do a double-take on information coming out. Squaring both Neptune and Jupiter, there is a lot of fog and obfuscation in the communications arena. Look into things yourself rather than taking someone else’s word. You are called to into your heart to inform you of the truth that resonates.”

With Lunar South Node in Scorpio, still awakening  our collective destiny,
the challenge is to confront,  dispel and let go of, whatever is seriously tinged with negative influence. We are called to embrace the sustaining strength of North Node in Taurus to build a worthy future.
