Gemini full moon December 19, and Venus retrogrades

 

The last full moon of the year falls at 27 degrees of Gemini on December 18^th at 8:36 PM, EDT. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication. Gemini illuminates the facts and we may uncover a great deal of information at this time personally and as a collective.

Gemini is typically upbeat, positive, talkative and full of ideas. Information is constantly flowing with the moon in this sign so expect a great deal of chatter, talking and even learning. The point of Gemini is to expand, especially where thinking is concerned. This moon trines Jupiter which will create a hopeful and optimistic type of energy. The moon has the potential for positivity depending of course, on what it does in your own personal chart. This will be a great time for getting together with friends, family members or anyone else in your circle that you have been missing.

That said, Venus is conjunct Pluto and turns retrograde about 6 hours after the peak of this full moon which is significant. Venus will be conjunct Pluto all month, and when it turns retrograde this can come across as a marked change in energy and events especially relating to love and money.

 

Information will likely come out in the open about any number of things, illuminated by the Gemini moon and it is likely to be stark. Certainly, this will play out on the world stage in many ways. Corruption, financial matters, sex and scandals, abortion rights, propaganda, and control are all issues we will continue to hear about all month. Pluto can be a destructive planet as we have all seen with the recent tragedy in Kentucky and other Southern states that experienced the deadly tornado.

 

In our personal lives love, money, manipulation, betrayal, obsession and deep convoluted issues will be on the minds of many. Some of these issues could originate in the past. In the end it is better to face whatever truth may be revealed than to live in the darkness. Pluto tends to destroy things, but then it rebuilds in a stronger and more secure manner so end the end this could turn out in a more positive manner than you may think. 

Venus in Capricorn is about practical matters concerning love, money and values and will remain in this sign until March. Capricorn is Saturn ruled, so many are feeling a lack of love or money at this time. This could also manifest as a lack of social activities or not feeling your most attractive.

 

Uranus is square Saturn and this is also shaking things up and will peak for the third time this year on December 23^rd.  Christmas may be different this year, but this will not keep us from remembering just how much most all of us do have to really celebrate, and that in the end, is the most important thing of all.
