Gemini

gemini1There’s a continuing issue surrounding love, sexuality, and creativity with Geminis. Whatever you’re working out in term of your romantic relationships, the first half of December is going to kick that up again. This time it’s in a way that we can’t ignore: It’s a passionate transit, because it’s Mars, so something needs to be acknowledged and faced. Sometimes, space between ourselves and another person or situation allows us to get down into how we feel about things, and to decide what we want to do about them. Pay attention to your relationships during the first couple of weeks of the month. The new moon on the 11th will activate your 7th house of intimate relationships and committed partnerships. Saturn is traveling through, making it hefty.

Mars is traveling through your 5th house of love, activating whatever complications or issues might be disturbing the peace. The Saturn-Sagittarius new moon is going to confront loneliness, the desire to connect, or any doubts you’ve been having about committing to the person you’re with. This month begins a two-year process of Saturn in your 7th house, which has to do with the people who help us move forward life, and which relationships keep us connected to patterns that aren’t healthy or generative. As a result, the new moon might spur a “should I stay or should I go”-type quandary, or raise questions about committing to or releasing old relationships, patterns, intimacy issues, commitments. It’s all heightened by Mercury traveling through your 8th house of psychological and mental issues, which will connect with Pluto in that place in your chart on December 19. Those with Gemini rising are contending with especially weighty dealings.

The full moon is happening in your 2nd house of money. It happens on a day when much of the Western world is closed down, but use the knowledge of this full moon peaking in your 2nd house for the month of December to have it in the back of your mind. What’s important is for you to work towards what can support you financially that feels really good. You might make something to sell for the holidays, do something that helps you financially around this season, so you can prepare for the upcoming full moon. If there’s nothing that applies to you directly in that last sentiment, I would focus on how you feel about your resources—what you bring to the table. This is a beautiful full moon for you to feel that you are valuable, that what you bring has worth, and to work on self-esteem. Put the effort in, and the full moon should be able to reveal how that is all working for you.

Dylan’s advice: What are the stories that give you your favorite perspectives about love stuff—in music, movies, or literature? Make a playlist or an anthology of sorts that drum up the vibes you want to bring to the love and the partnership realms of your life. Conjure up the aspirational art you look to to find a light in, and indulge in it around the new moon. You might feel an important commitment, a change of path, or even a stressful decision about your love, creativity, and/or sexuality coming to the forefront in December, but if you have a fortress made up of fluffy emotional pillows like your favorite records and movies that make you believe in the real thing, you’ll know where you feel comfortable and can come back to—not in a way that’s complacent, but in a way that’s intuitive and inspired.
