If you are too tired to read all about this moon and more, here is your quick vibe check:
Full Moon in Gemini ruled by Mercury RX and square Neptune = confusion but also potential for serious insights from our past. Discerning information from truth, releasing old lies we have believed for too long.
Mercury going direct = slowly getting our shit together.
Mars still retrograde = questioning everything about our direction and motivation.
Overall vibe = foggy but clearing, emotional but enlightening.
Best use of this energy = journal, rest, dream, make tea, trust but verify your intuitive hits.
Wow, how is every one feeling? This past week with Mars, Mercury and Jupiter retrograde has been FELT. Had an emotional breakdown? Lost an email? Question WTF you’re doing with your life? Missing mail or packages? Weird feelings about how you make money? Tired af? Cool, you’re right where you are supposed to be.
Mercury stations direct today, although we will be in it’s retroshade period until January 2nd. However, you’re bound to feel the grip loosen on tech issues, delays and weird comms that this transit always brings. TBH it’s Mars retrograde that’s really fucking with us. Mars is the planet of action, aggression, forward momentum, passion, and resilience. He retrogrades the least often, only every 24-26 months, and ya know, having the planet of motivation and forward motion asking us to PAUSE is rather….awkwaaaaaard. Think back to October 30, 2022- January 12, 2023, which is the last time we experienced Mars retro for a refresher on the vibes.
This update is actually about today’s Full Moon, which I will get to in moment, but I just wanted to acknowledge the uncomfortability, awkwardness or just the questioning of your life and ambitions that may be arising at this time. (I know I’m sure as hell feeling it!) Whatever is coming up for you, may you find some gems of realization or clarity through all the retrograde feelings. Sending you a big virtual hug, friends. 🫂
P.S., if you are in need of a little treat, my Martian Snake Hoops are a good antidote to this weird af Mars time we are in. They were birthed while Mars was in absurdly capable Capricorn and imbued with astrological magick to support the wearer in forward momentum, ambition and power.

So, this morning at 2am MST we had our annual Full Moon in Gemini. This is the moment when the Sun in Sagittarius sits opposite the Moon in Gemini, who is currently ruled by Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius. The Gemini-Sagittarius axis is curious AF. This axis activates the pursuit of knowledge and information and asks us to sift through both to find wisdom or truth. With Mercury RX at the moment, this Full Moon may have us nostalgic, digging into the past or if you’re lucky, finding new perspective and truths through reconsideration and reflection.
The kicker is that this lunation squares Neptune, the planet of illusion and delusion but also inspiration and dreams. Soooo is the information you’re receiving at this time actual truth or is it illusion? That’s the question. Your dreams and psychic downloads may have been or are going to be lit, but can you believe everything you think? And does truth matter in the realm of inspiration? It’s a good time to write down your dreams, random downloads or ideas that seem to be floating to the top of your consciousness like cream. The combo of Neptune and Mercury Rx during this moon may have us uncovering lies we have been holding onto as truths, great time to release those and rewrite your narrative.
Real talk: we're all susceptible to believing what we want to believe right now. The dreams you're having might be serving straight prophecy, OR they might just be your brain processing all the Mars rx feels - journal that shit and check back in a few weeks when the fog has cleared out a bit.
Since this is a Mercury ruled Moon, I deeply encourage you to do some writing. Explore some of the journal prompts below, do some automatic writing or if you’re feeling up to it do one of the writing rituals below. This is the final Full Moon of 2024, so most importantly, listen to your intuition and give yourself exactly what you may need today.
Journal Prompts for this Lunation
What stories have I been telling myself that maybe need a second look?
Where might I be romanticizing the past? (Mercury rx loves to have us doing this)
What wisdom is trying to emerge from the fog?
What am I ready to release before we wrap up 2024?
Burn Baby Burn: A Release Ritual 🔥The square aspect between the Full Moon and Neptune is literally begging us to take decisive action (square) against uncertainty (Neptune). By using Gemini's air element through writing and Sagittarius' fire through burning, we're working WITH the astrology rather than just letting it work us. This ritual helps us release our attachment to the confusion itself (which, let's be real, can become its own comfort zone).
Write down EVERYTHING you're feeling confused or uncertain about rn:All those "wtf am I doing" thoughts
The situations where you can't tell what's real
Your doubts and fears
Those Mercury rx miscommunications
The Mars rx direction confusion
Any Neptune-fog delusions you're ready to see clearly
Old lies you are sorting through
Really let it all out. No editing, no judging, just pure stream of consciousness Gemini vibes.
Now for the Sagittarius fire magic - safely burn that paper! As it burns, say bye bye to the confusion.
Safety note: Please do this ritual responsibly! Burn papers in a fireproof container, outside if possible, and keep water nearby. We want to transform the confusion, not set our houses on fire! 🔥
Write a Letter to Little YOU
With the Gemini Full Moon square Neptune, we're swimming in memories and dreams while trying to find our truth. Mars Rx in Leo is really potent for some inner child work and Mercury Rx, as you know, opens up a portal to the past. This Full Moon is begging us to wade our way through information and fog to a discerning truth. Sometimes the truth we need is just how proud our younger self would be of us. When is the last time you stopped to give that weight? The Gemini-Sag axis is all about gathering wisdom, and who better to share wisdom with than past you?
Tell them about all the cool shit you're doing now
Share what would blow their little mind about who you've become
Let them know which of their dreams came true
Tell them about the strength they didn't know they had
Share the wisdom you wish they had known
Thank them for their gifts (their creativity, resilience, dreams)
Include your current questions, goals and ambitions
Let it be messy and real - no editing needed
Pro tip: Mail this letter to yourself or create a time capsule to open after Mars goes direct on February 23rd. Future you will thank you for this cosmic care package! ✨
