There is a full moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini tomorrow.

The Gemini-Sagittarius polarity revolves around the mind. Through Gemini we process our ‘lower mind’ and through Sagittarius we process the "higher mind". Gemini uses common sense, intellect and reason while Sagittarius persuades us to think in an extensive, open minded and expansive way. Sagittarius needs to explore outwards whilst Gemini is quite comfortable staying at home and allowing all the information to come to them. With an eclipse we are encouraged to find the balance. A full moon Lunar eclipse insists that purge any energy that has been building inside of us and in this case it all relates to interaction, perspective and our approach to taking risk and exploring new horizons.

What we find out about ourselves may be profound and emotional and we should become aware of what is missing although whatever we become aware of isn’t really new. Although this can be difficult it can push us forward into making positive changes.

This eclipse is part of a series of eclipses that fall along the Gemini/Sagittarius axis.

This Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon square Mars and when Uranus turns direct from being retrograde and is stationary in Pisces. Uranus gives us our Awakenings. It provides us with positive transformation regardless of the disruption and trouble that may also arrive along with it. Pisces provides us with the intuition from the high mind and allows the flow of compassion and love to manifest in the real world. We have to be mindful that we shouldn’t become too reliant on any forms of escapism at this time try to live in the present moment. It’s so easy to become lost over the next few months.

In December 1965, December 1973, and December 1992, a Lunar Eclipse fell in Gemini at a similar degree as this December 2011 eclipse. It might be helpful to think back to issues in your life that were in effect at those times (in the weeks and even months surrounding these dates) in order to get an idea of how this 2011 Lunar Eclipse might affect you.

Use up some that excess physical energy. You may not have the tolerance level to cope with irritations when things go wrong and you may take this out on others if you have a lot of nervous energy. If you voice your concerns you might get some unfriendly reactions back today. It would be better to do something physical to expell some of this energy that needs using up. (Sun square Mars)

The energies today can produce intense, jealous feelings within relationships. You may feel obsessed with someone else but this doesn’t mean a relationship could work, there are complicated subconscious drives at work that could make someone else seem more enchanting.

Try not to use any underhanded manipulative ways (such as guilt trips) against a current partner now, as it will only break down any bond that you have. (Venus conjunct Pluto) x

Your imagination may be heightened today and you will be more aware of colour and beauty. Its a good day to visit places where you can really feel this and have an appreciation of it. You are likely to ignore the more negative aspects of relationships because you may feel more romantic and idealistic. Sometimes at this time people can be provided with a ‘karmic’ or ‘soul mate’ connection with someone else. It’s as if the person may be destined to be a part of your life in some way. This doesn’t happen often in other transits so be aware of your relationships and friendships as you may have something profound to give or receive. (Venus sextile Neptune) Also we have Mercury retrograde - During this usually three-week timeframe, everything connected with communication can be disrupted. Misunderstandings tend to occur as the usual aspects of writing, learning, and verbalisation can become disrupted. This is because during the ‘thinking’ time spontaneous expression is blocked in some way. HOWEVER, for some people, this retrograde actually has the opposite effect. New ideas, new speaking or writing abilities are often revealed in people especially in those who have Retrograde Mercury in their natal chart. For people who struggle to communicate sometimes this energy can be very helpful. Its like a very large intake of breath so that we can assimilate new mental concepts and visions.

Today there may be a heightened awareness of your own path and purpose. Any reformist, idealistic and humanitarian tendencies can find success through communication and sharing with others, and this can be important to your sense of well being. Share your commitment, enthusiasm and positivity by supporting others, or through transmitting these energies to help motivate group endeavours. (Sun trine Uranus)

Become involved with social pressure groups that are socially beneficial. You can become very committed to supporting causes that you have faith in, devoting time and energy to furthering the cause, and in being true to yourself and your personal beliefs. (Mars trine Pluto)

My message for today: You could be twice as productive today so this is a favourable time for work aspects. Its a great day for seeing clearly and looking at things from a wide perspective. You aren’t likely to do anything too silly and your positive outlook should enable a great outcome. (mars trine jupiter) xx

Happy 11.11.11! My message for today is connected with astrology. Mars is opposing Neptune which shows us that we all have to face upto any bad karma issues from the past. We can’t pretend anymore that we have never done wrong, we now have to face upto any unpleasant consequences. Mars opposition Chiron indicates its time to confront any situations that we would normally avoid. However this means that there could be retaliation with some angry feedback. Mars conjunct Royal star Regulus (moving into Virgo) indicates the forceful energy of Mars giving strong potential for great achievements. However, vengeance or reprisal should never be used against critics or people who challenge otherwise all achievements will be lost. Regulus shows us the myth behind the honour of war and power; by falling from grace by being tested. In fact Regulus spins like a spinning bullet – that’s some symbolism!

Arcturus and Spica are also activated by Saturn. Spica symbolises having a gift to offer humankind, which may be unusual. Arcturus illuminates someone who will be a leader or taking the step to show the way to make a fundamental shift in consciousness. The number 11 shows us that its time for us all to to show compassion and love for all living things and the planet in new innovative ways en masse. Will you pledge to be part of this? xx

My message of today- we have a lot happening in the sky. First of all the Full Moon occurs in Taurus. The theme of this full Moon is all about bringing together the grounded, pragmatic easy going nature compared with the intense, conflicts of our deeper psyches. The Moon in Taurus asks us to look at finding satisfaction with nature and everything that we can see around us – things that we can physically sense; however the Sun in Scorpio leads us into searching for the enigmatic, hidden and even dangerous. The Full Moon highlights the tangible and the changeable, This can be a hot headed and excitable time – great for new opportunities and intimate growth experiences. It’s a good time to ask yourself ‘what am I comfortable with in my relationships and my sex life?’ and ‘Does anything need to be transformed?’

Secondly we have Chiron turning direct at a critical degree of 0 in Pisces. This indicates the contrast between wanting to learn but having higher intellectual spiritual leanings that may jarr with your material desires. The message here is to try not to forget about practical considerations on your quest to serve others, and watch for your energy levels becoming depleted. Any inherent creative possibilites should be used now combined with healing. Through healing others you are healing yourself.

Thirdly we have Mars moving into Virgo. This placing can make us edgy, tense and rather restless. There is often a need for constant activity - if you feel like this emotional tension can be relieved by relaxation – yoga usually works well. Other recommended exercises are cycling, hiking or jogging. x
