Truth or Lies: I'm being Followed by A Moon Shadow

 Full Moon in Gemini: Part one.




The Moon will be exactly Full in a few hours -  in the highly sociable, mutable sign of Gemini. Communication is highlighted and amplified now - and also potentially blurred. Watch what you say and really listen to what you hear.  

There's a  huge tension  now between telling the truth and getting away with deceptions. The obfuscation that  has been going on all year is now coming to a head - with Mercury turning Retrograde  at a critical point extremely close to Saturn's position  on the Galactic core. A reckoning may be at hand for those who have abused people's trust and spoken without integrity. 




Many of us fake it every day - smiling when we are really sad - acting big when we feel so small. Or - pretending we are small (to stay safe) when we are actually magnificent.  It's not about forcing others to get real - although this will be tried - it's about getting real with our own self.   Wherever we are in denial, hiding secrets, or just not being in integrity - something is pushing us to strip away the facade.



Extreme caution is advised. Mars (aggression) and Uranus (rebellion, sudden change) are in a fierce  tension - Mars is trying to force something on someone quite aggressively - and Uranus is rebelling  by trying to break away. This mix is highly unsettling and the fallout could be quite dangerous.  If you can avoid confrontations I would recommend you do so until this smooths out.  Misunderstandings are all too likely.  Tread lightly. Accidents can occur when these two interact - so drive carefully and be very careful of alcohol or drugs. 

Luckily -  potential confrontations or angry outbursts can be soothed by a downpour of ego-dissolving  grace (thanks to Neptune).  This is a soft, watery, gentle (and humble)  flow - in contrast to the fiery ego based edginess of Mars opposite Uranus. The thing with Neptune is that even as it inspires us to greater understanding and compassion - it also  blurs boundaries and confuses intentions. Neptune can redeem us  through  great depths of universal love  - or entwine us in illusions and escapism that keep us from seeing the truth. Discrimination is key.



This Full Moon in Gemini is all about the 'Truth' (capitol T). 

Gemini is symbolized by  Twins - showing us two faces - that all too easily shift and change according to the weather. There is a choice now  between Truth and Lies.




Thing is - whose truth? What truth? In this era of fake news - and dodgy politicians (ok, they have always been dodgy - only now it's so in our faces we cannot deny it). Everybody is wearing masks and speaking in forked tongues. Who's to be believed?



The one thing we can all do is zero in on our own personal truth. Mercury / Saturn in Sagittarius is about exactly that. The trick (and the key)  is being able to distinguish between our shadow/narcissistic self - from our true universal self. One is based on fear and  separation - the other understands that we are all one.  I know I keep repeating this - that we all need to align with our core self.  That is because Saturn on the Galactic Core for months has been insisting on it. Very soon Saturn will enter its home sign of Capricorn - and we will see who is walking their talk. The  focus is - and will be even more in Capricorn -  on honesty -  integrity - impeccability. 

Stop playing games. Stop dodging reality. Time to get real.

 (Abraham Lincoln?) 

I heard that first from Bob Dylan, one of the great truth tellers of our time (a Gemini).



So if you are being dishonest in any way in your own life - be it small or big - or feel someone is not being truthful with you - expect something to come to a tipping point.   Mercury retrograde will extend  the time we have to think about this - giving us a few weeks to reflect on what this means in our life; where the lines are blurred and where we need to get real with ourselves, or with each other. Time to strip away all those layers of ego protection we have carried for so long - that weigh us down and keep us from being really present. 

The thing is - who we really are IS magnificent.


It is time to take off the mask. Be who you are. Step up to the plate.


You know you want to.
