What Is in the Air?

Q: What is in the air?
A: On this rambunctious Gemini full moon (Gemini is an air sign notorious for its trickster energetics), it would be wise to gain some objectivity. At the same time, Mars retrograde aggravates even the most peaceful and serene of us. There is a gnawing quality to this moon, a sandpaper-like roughness that will not go away. What is there to be exposed will eventually come to the surface like acne. It isn’t pretty but the clearing of the old will be done, if not with a twist of violence.
As we are nearing the end of 2022, there is a gravitas that accompanies us with the culmination of the year. We are heading into a powerful cocoon of contemplation on the cycle we are completing and this moon will illuminate all the places we have yet to work upon ourselves. My experience of the current astrological weather is to approach it with reverence. There are elements of surprise this month and some potency that may require greater humility so as not to get swept up in the arrogant rush of self-importance.
CHANGE OF MIND
It has been a big year and “change” has been a recurring theme in the collective mind. Whether in love, career, personality, physical appearance, location, dwellings, countries, etc. most people have experienced a broad sweeping shift within their lives. This trend will continue as we hit a new stride in the spring of 2023 with so many outer planetary bodies moving into new realms of the zodiac. Perhaps there will be an invitation of rebirth more powerful than we have experienced in some time. And now is a time for preparation.
Intuitively, I have felt like drawing within. Even in such a social time as the holiday season, I am already nestling into my personal chrysalis as much as I can. This is my response and attempt at seeking homeostasis while this moon blasts the equivalent of intense drum and bass throughout the midnight of my mind. Another approach is to view this time as an opportunity to witness myself keeping the peace. When so much wants to erupt in frustration or annoyance, is there a way to channel this agitation in a fruitful direction? Feels like a ZenMaster moon to me.
GOOD NEWS
The good news? Yes, there is always good news…a Capricorn new moon is arriving on December 23rd and will bestow the possibility of deep reflection and seed-planting for the year ahead. May this new year be completely different than anything you have ever experienced as a human being on planet earth. May you be uplifted into new perspectives and expanded states of mind. May your creative energy soar to new heights and may your heart wisen and dance within the greater and distinct depths of your unique soul. Stay the course, my friends. Keep calm and carry on with inner peace as your lighthouse.
