It’s been a huge month of challenge and opportunity for us bodyworkers evolving spiritually in this physical dimension, a world which perpetuates conflict, power struggles and fighting as the dominant ideology of survival.
Fear is the currency of the power brokers. Love is the currency of our evolution.
The angel of death is with us: Trust and faith in the light of love and divine truth is our ally
Our soul energy is in the process of releasing massive ‘darkness’/unevolved consciousness from within us and from the earth and humanity. At times it has felt like the angel of death was hovering bringing up all that has been repressed within us from this time, other timelines, people and places. Primal forces are being triggered for release from us all as we confront the depths of human ‘history’.
22nd November: Sun entered Sagittarius, 24th November: Mars entered Sagittarius
The past few intense days seemed to seal the deal on the past weeks of Scorpio overhaul taking us to the depths of soul work. Fiery Sagittarian energies arriving as the Sun, then Mars brought forth a huge challenge to purge the implants, attachments, timelines and karmic baggage which have gone beyond their ‘use by’ date. We are not able to create new lives while we carry the old dark forces of the past.
The promise of spiritual freedom through Sagittarian growth, expansion...releasing the old paths
The Sun’s entry to expansive, optimistic Sagittarius may have seemed like the fiery freedom we were seeking with a kickstart from Mars moving into Sagittarius two days later on 24th.
Sun in square to Saturn in Pisces: Melting/dissolving the resistance and ‘walls’ in fire and water
Not quite the open road as the Sun ran slap bang into a square/growth challenge with Saturn sitting on 0 degrees Pisces. Saturn offering karmic release as the light of freedom shone into our darkest recesses. I have no doubt that like me, many of us were knocked off their feet. Saturn brings us to our knees in surrender...literally as well as metaphorically!
‘Heads, shoulders, knees and toes’ was more like ‘Heads, shoulders, knees and hips’:
Warrior Mars continued the challenge when he entered Sagittarius on 24th...another square to Saturn which hit the physical body, possibly the head/Mars and the joints. Sagittarius, hips and thighs and Saturn, knees, skeleton and joints could have been impacted. Mercury,ruler of the mental body racing ahead in Sagittarius may have felt a little addled, frustrated, irritated as the mental was called to be in collaboration with Venus in Libra calling for patience, mercy, balance and harmony in resolving conflict.
Venus, ruler of the heart: Holding the balance, the middle ground, the harmonising factor for carrying us through the dark times
The body is bringing up all manner of old responses and/or reactions to our perspectives, our world and thus our behaviours. Pain is challenging to us all and so much ‘old’ pain is surfacing for healing resolution. Between the mind, the head and the joints we’ve got the heart harmonising the dualities in partnerships travelling in Libra calling for justice and equity. Consider the current warring conflicts worldwide and reflected on the national, domestic and personal level.In these energies we come to meet the Full Moon in Gemini, sign of duality, the dual carriageway of the mind.
22nd November: Sun entered Sagittarius 1.03 am AEDT
Until 22nd December
24th November: Mars
entered Sagittarius 9:15
pm AEDT

Freeing the Gemini butterflies! Finding the gems of unrealised gifts and talents!
The Full Moon always offers release, endings, culmination and completion, a release of hidden energies, of untapped inner knowledge and resources. The Full Moon carries the power of illumination of the subconscious forces within, of repressed memories which have blocked full knowledge of the gems of our gifts and talents.
We are all students of life with the capacity to activate our teaching skills for self and others:
With the Gemini Full Moon opposite the Sagittarian Sun we are gifted with the impetus for uncovering new knowledge to activate the learning/teaching balance. These are the signs of the educators and the active powers of learning new understanding, new ways of living.
The Gemini child energy wants to keep it simple and succinct through the social interactions with others, the butterfly collecting the pollen. The Sagittarian sage seeks the wisdom within and without through ‘higher’ learning, academically, spiritually. We need both energies to work together bringing wisdom into simplicity and vice versa.
We live to expand and grow, explore and discover: Time to awaken from deep sleep
Both these energies work within us all in varying capacities as we learn and grow through life experiences seeking understanding through the knowledge of others and application of research skills in exploration of our own psyche to seek understanding of ourselves and our life experiences.
Our fire spirits are activated:
Time to get moving...but where to? Revelations emerging
At this Full Moon we have our two movers and shakers, Mars and Mercury both travelling in Sagittarius supporting the power of the Sun, the power of 3, as it faces off to the Full Moon. Mars is at 2 degrees close to the Sun urging us to keep releasing the karmic collective emotions of Saturn squaring off/challenging us at 0 degrees Pisces. A physical release. This aspect will ease as the Sun and Mars move on in next day or so. A relief after the past few days of this intense physical release.
One step at a time as we reclaim our spiritual authority:
Saturn finally moving to 1 degree Pisces in next day will assist with the sense of karmic movement, albeit quite slowly.
Our Sagittarian horses can’t get moving just yet
...they’re still carrying their heavy loads to the mountain top.
However, each step they take is giving us the time and space to accept the gifts offered at this full moon and in the coming month. Our energies are being refined and processed, pruned to the depths of the truth of who we are and what we’re preparing for in the next stage of our journey from January/February 2024.Old goals, motivations and desires are being stripped away to reveal our deeper power beyond our old 3d ego. The ego is evolving to a richness offering something beyond our present vision.

That’s all folks! Hugs all around!
The butterfly as a symbol for Gemini as well as for the soul is especially beneficial for our vision at this time as we begin to rediscover and the desire to explore even as we are not sure where we are headed as our new future life.
Many are exploring options already which is perfect for the Gemini full Moon which supports options and potentials. Variety is the stimulation Gemini energy needs for reclaiming the spice of life. It’s been somewhat diminished in the past 3 years when global forces of change have offered the challenges of evolution of consciousness and the need to explore new ways of living and being accessing support systems to build resilience, endurance, hope and optimism.
Everything is changing within us as well as in the outer world. Our willingness despite resistance is our key to moving into new dimensions of life on earth. The front runners are holding our lights up for the world to see. Nothing will stop our spirit.
Love and blessings to us all as we proceed through the final stages of this period of extreme makeover and evolutionary challenges. If, like me you are feeling the pain and suffering in the physical body for whatever reason, trust that the pain is the doorway, the opportunity to integrate divine love into every cell of our bodies. That’s the call as I see it.
