November 30th; we have a Full Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse in the Air sign of Gemini. This is the final Eclipse for 2020. Eclipses can ripple with change (usually over a 6 month period) & a rise in intensity plus with Gemini wanting to do a little bit of everything we need to be mindful of not becoming overwhelmed.
Lunar Eclipses are like extra potent Full Moons. They illuminate areas of our lives that need to be cleared and swept away. They shine a light on all that no longer needs to be present with us.
They reveal to us where we are holding on too tightly, and where we must surrender and let go.
Lunar Eclipses are potent for they require us to shed. This shedding can leave us feeling vulnerable, afraid, or uncertain of what is to come. But this Lunar Eclipse holds the promise of a brighter season coming.
It reminds us that whatever space is created by its presence will soon become fertile ground, ready to be sprinkled with new seeds when the timing is right.
As this Full Moon Eclipse falls in Gemini, the sign of the twins, we can use their symbolism to guide us through the lunar energies.
In ancient mythology, the twins were said to represent both the seen, tangible world and the unseen, intangible world. One twin was from this Earth, and the other was not.
These twins are signifiers of both the human and the being that make us human beings. They remind us that we are not just a physical body but a soul as well.
Whatever unfolds on this Eclipse is likely to stir both our physical bodies and our spiritual bodies.
Lunar Eclipses have been seen as bad omens by ancient cultures and get a bit of a bad rap. However, we should look at them as a gift from the cosmos and always help us to get where we need to be. They are about shadow work and about our feminine energy, connecting with our emotions, connecting with our body, and connecting with our intuition.
It is about going within and allowing ourselves to reflect in the dark, shadowy waters of our own heart, mind, and soul. It is about going to the darkest depths of the ocean, and clearing through all that no longer serves us, so we can be reborn.
In that short moment of the Eclipse, all of us on a deeper, energetic level are being asked to delve into the depths of ourselves in order to see what is true.
Lunar Eclipses tend to zap our energy, making us feel drained or lethargic. They can also mess with our sleep cycle and hormones, making us feel irritable, tired, moody, and just out of balance in general.
Lunar Eclipses have the power to pull and draw a lot of emotional energy out of the depths and onto the surface. For this reason, we may find ourselves feeling extra sensitive, or more aware of our thoughts and feelings.
Eclipses are said to bring fated or destined events our way that are aligned with our highest growth in mind. On a Lunar Eclipse, if something exits in our lives, trust that it was meant to be. Trust that there is a Divine purpose to what is now no longer as well.
The strength of Neptune in our skies could be showing where we need to set stronger boundaries to alleviate anxiety triggers & those boundaries could be energetic as well as physical.
Anxiety has been at an all-time high during 2020, so if you’re feeling out of sorts, ensure you speak to someone & reach out for help.
There are ways to lessen it… Learning to communicate needs & feelings effectively can be a good outcome of this energy; remembering to balance give & take in relationships & to speak up.
There is extra strong feminine energy around the Gemini Full Moon Partial Eclipse coming from the Goddess influences of Vesta, Eris, Black Moon Lilith, and Ceres.
These cosmic bodies, all named after powerful Goddesses, are active under the power of this Full Moon Eclipse, and they each have an important message to share.
The asteroid Vesta is the Goddess of hearth and fire. She calls for us to tend to our own inner fire and to nurture our own inner spark. She reminds us that when we tend to our inner flame, we are able to connect with our creativity, our inner strength, and our passion.
Eris is a dwarf planet that is located beyond Pluto. She is known as the Goddess of discord and strife, but she only walks this path when she knows we can rise up to the occasion. When things are not in balance, it is her chaos that helps us correct our ways. When it is time to move on, it is her chaos that pushes us to grow.
Black Moon Lilith is a cosmic marking between the Moon and the Earth. It is a highly charged point in our cosmic skies that indicates freedom and liberation. The Goddess Black Moon Lilith allows repressed emotions to float to the surface so we can release, heal, and let them go.
Finally, Ceres is the Goddess asteroid of fertility and renewal. Her presence reminds us to nurture and nourish ourselves. She calls for us to spend time in nature, to practice self-care, and to tend very gently to our mother wound. Her presence also indicates the arrival of a harvest point.
These strong Goddess energies ask us to tend to our own inner fire. Allow any chaos to shift and move us in the direction of growth. To let those repressed emotions out. And to be sure to nurture and nourish ourselves.
With a Full Moon in Gemini, which rules our mind, our mind has the power to paint the picture we choose to see. Our mind has the power to take events and attach stories to them.
It is these stories that can trip us up more than the events themselves. It is the stories we tell ourselves that create a lot of stress and anguish in our lives.
Under the power of this Gemini Lunar Eclipse, we should try to calm our minds by releasing any stories that are no longer serving us and step out of overthinking and into a state of just being.
The twins teach us that we are both human and being. They offer us the insight to see if we can shift away from the ego of our human side, which we very often get wrapped up in, and take time to just honor the still beingness that we are.
Love and Blessings ♥♥♥
