What the Full Moon in Gemini 2022 Really Means for You
Let the truth come through.
What’s the intention behind your words?
Happening on December 8th, 2022, in conjunction with Mars Retrograde, the Full in Gemini is here to show you what your words are worth. For the past month, Mars Retrograde in Gemini has made us a tad bit confrontation-shy, preferring to hide behind snarky comments and passive-aggressive rhetorics. But with the Moon illuminating this side of us, it is best to let the conversation happen, to allow any issue you have with anyone or anything to be resolved through facts and discussion.
With Mercury, the ruler of tonight’s Full Moon ingressed to Capricorn, one of the most practical and no-nonsense signs out there, combined with the Moon’s trine to Saturn, we’re also reminded that communication can be a powerful tool to further our goal. This means our words have weight, and our intention behind them WILL shine through. It is an invitation to consider why we say what we say, so we can get the response we actually seek.

Say it with compassion and a listening ear.
But communication can also be a double-edged sword. Mercury forms a square to Jupiter on the critical degree of its home sign, Pisces, telling us to be careful with honesty and optimism. Being direct doesn’t require using sharp, blunt words that you’ll regret later on. Remember that Mars is still stationing retrograde; walking on eggshells for challenging topics/recipients is still a better strategy here.
The key to this comes from the Full Moon’s T-Square to Neptune. Neptune, the planet of empathy and service, advises you to begin each revelation with compassion and a listening ear. If we follow the manic Full Moon in Gemini energy, we will talk over one another instead while aiming to be the loudest one in the room. But that’s not what you want, is it?
So, why not give each other the time and space to say what we all need to say?
Shall we address the elephant in the room?
Don’t forget to take off the rose-tinted glasses.
This Full Moon is not with its downfall, however. The T-Square to Neptune also shows us the shadow side of Neptune, that is, illusion and victim mentality. Sure, Mars Retrograde brings the same theme to the surface (read more about it here). But if there’s one thing you need to be more self-aware about during this period is whether you’ve only been seeing what you want to see.
Ask yourself:
Have you been cherry-picking facts?
Have you made a conscious or an unconscious decision to avoid reality?
Have you been reassuring yourself that the world is fine, despite fuming in flames?
If the answer is yes, ask yourself again: why?
Is it out of compassion for yourself or for others?
Journaling Prompts:
Other than the questions above, consider these questions as well in your journaling session tonight:
“What are the truth and facts that I need to come face-to-face with?”
“Is the conversation I’m having important enough to go through?”
“Why do I have to have this conversation? What are my goals and intentions?”
“What kind of outcome do I expect out of this revelation?”
“What are my biases about the person/people I’m talking to?”
