Full Moon in Gemini | December 21, 2010 – Keep Up with the Plans and Ideas!

The Full Moon in Gemini occurs at 3:14 am E.S.T. on Tuesday, December 21, 2010. At this lunation, we are still feeling the effects of a Mercury Retrograde, the third of three retrograde periods from Mercury that occur each year. The planet Mercury governs the astrological sign of Gemini. When Mercury, the planet of Communication, is in Retrograde, you can experience things like e-mails and voice mails not connecting, letter being lost, the proverbial ‘checks in the mail’ not being there, computer problems and things that are said being misconstrued. This is a good time to do a computer back up, but not car repair, as you may find that after Mercury is going Direct again, you will have to ‘re-do’ or have the whole process done over again. This Full Moon in Gemini will be short, as is is in the 29th degree at3:14 am E.S.T., but only one hour later, the Moon changes to the zodiac sign of Cancer at 4:22 am E.S.T. I expect that you will see lots of communication regarding family and the home now – both good and bad! The third ingredient to this month’s lunation mix is that there will also be a Lunar Eclipse at 29 degrees of Gemini, so keeping One’s head held high during the emotions of the Season will be more positive instead of being dragged through the emotional mud. Focusing on constructive goals is much more rewarding and will get you through the dark nights of Winter as the Earth marches towards spring and rebirth. Lighting candles during the first hour of the Full Moon while the Moon is still in Gemini would be beneficial if they had a Reversing negativity and banishing ill intent to them, especially for those wagging their tongues too much. Once the Full Moon is in Cancer, it is an optimum time to set candles to keep all family funkiness away and back that up with blue and white ones for peace and tranquility in the home, as Cancer rules the hearth, home and family. This might be an emotional Christmas for some, so a little ‘preventative maintenence’ would go a long way! The Full Moon time is traditionally considered a time to do banishing and reversing work, so if things are not going wood with you right now, this is the time to light candle spells to reverse a situation or to send negativity off into the Universe or back to its’ sender, so that you will gain some Peace and Tranquility during the next two weeks.

New Moon in Sagittarius | December 5, 2010 – Get Close and Contemplate!

The New Moon in Sagittarius on Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 12:37 pm E.S.T. The energy of the Sagittarius Moon is considered to be a “Mutable” Fire sign, meaning that it is changeable, flexible and creative. New Moon lunation cycles are considered auspicious for doing spell work and burning candles to bring in “good things” such as love ,money and success. The waxing, or growing (in size) Moon from nil to full circle, is correlated to ‘gathering’ or ‘increasing’ in Nature and therefore is believed to be working for the positive in all aspects. It is said that burning red candles anointed with “Fast Luck” Condition Oil, makes things that you want to happen come to you faster and green prosperity and money drawing candles, bring added money to the home. The New Moon in Sagittarius is an excellent time to do spells for expansion and increase. It is also an optimum time for self-improvement and to consider setting goals for higher education and ideals at this time. The New Moon in Sagittarius may see you as trying to attend as many functions for loved ones and close friends as you have never in year’s past, especially ones associated with the Holiday rituals and ceremonies that they bring. In addition, the planet of communication, Mercury, goes Retrograde on December 10th and will remain so until the end of the month, at which time you may find delays in checks and payments, computer mishaps and missed voice mail messages. Do not have any car repairs or sign any important papers or make life changing decisions during a Mercury Retrograde. To do so may bring in “re-dos” – a second car repair, a second signing of papers and an about change in decisions made at this time. Sit, rest and go inside yourself to contemplate before taking action. There will also be a Lunar Eclipse on Dec. 21st on the day of the Full Moon, which will throw even more caution into the Universe about making any important, life-changing decisions on the “hold” list until the end of the month. This lunation is geared towards retrospect and taking a step back to look at all the actors on stage in the theatre of your Life. When all is said and done, it is not wise to allow others to manipulate your actions and thoughts, as to do so can bring more confusion and disarray and lead to a loss of Personal Power. Listen to what others have to say, and tell then you will “get back to them on it”; giving yourself time to weigh all the factors of the proposal. If the ‘deal’ was good today and it was a legitimate offer, the ‘deal’ will be there tomorrow, too. The next Full Moon will occur on December 21,...
