Beloved,
I am beholding the rising nearly Full Moon as I write, brightly emerging upon the eastern horizon from my window. I feel blessed to be able to share the gift of this energy with you now. The Full Moon peaks tonight at 9:12pm PST, and its energy will set the tone for tomorrow. I invite you to dedicate some time to tune in with the gifts this significant Full Moon brings you.
I’m excited about this Full Moon, rising in the sign of Gemini. Full Moons always bring the energy of culmination, of completion. It is a time of welling up with gratitude for everything we’ve experienced in the previous cycle, and recognizing in the light of the Moon what has served its purpose and doesn’t need to move forward with us into the next cycle. Thereby making this a powerful cyclical time of letting go and releasing that which no longer serves us.
Gemini is a mental sign, and is all things communication: How we think, how we talk, how we write. Gemini is the air element, and there is indeed a sense of lightness and reprieve in the energy of this Full Moon that closes out this intense year. Gemini energy is stimulating and supporting our ability to process and reflect, and bring to light anything hiding in the shadows that’s asking for our attention.
It’s an exciting moment as this is not only the last Full Moon of 2019, but it’s the last Full Moon of this entire decade. What a powerful opportunity to reflect and take stock of the many gifts and lessons received in our respective journeys! As we near the close of the decade, we have much to reflect upon and honor, as great transformation has taken place over the last 10 years.
This Full Moon provides the energy to begin processing all that’s transformed in your life, helping you to begin the New Year and new decade in clarity and alignment, and empowered by the recognition of how far you’ve come in the last 10 years. See below for a ritual for this Gemini Full Moon!
As always, I am here for your questions or reflections, I would love to hear from you! Please let me know if you do the ritual and how it was for you. Also, a few of you have asked for extended time to receive my One-on-One Sessions discount, so you'll find that info below, as well as a sweet little gift-giving guide down below! Thank you to everyone who has been booking sessions and private ceremonies, I'm so deeply grateful for your support and to be able to share my gifts with you all!

THE RITUAL
Perform this ritual while the energy of the Gemini Full Moon is strong, by the latest 12/13/19.
Gemini is represented by the Twins in the zodiac. If possible, invite another person to do this ritual with you. (It will be just as powerful an experience if you choose to do this alone.)
You’ll need at least 2 pieces of blank paper, a writing utensil, 2 candles, a lighter or matches, a firesafe bowl, and a quiet space. If it suits you, you may sit outside to be wrapped up with Gemini's air energy.
Light your candles to set the sacred space. Close your eyes and take several deep breaths in and out to become present and still. Whether sitting indoors or outside, feel yourself receiving the supportive energy of the air surrounding you. Feel yourself connecting in with the energy of the Gemini Moon with every breath you take.
From this peaceful, silent state, ask yourself these questions, and write out your responses:
*** You might want to ask these questions first addressing the last lunar cycle, then again addressing all of 2019, and lastly addressing the last decade. Take your time, and know you can always use this time now as a starting point for diving deeper into this reflective process later.***
What are the highlights of the last cycle / the last year / the last decade (speak to the highs and lows)?
What am I grateful for? What are the gifts I’ve received through each of these experiences (the positive and negative)?
What is the truth of my heart that wants to be seen now in light of these experiences?
For your 2nd sheet of paper, ask yourself and respond:
What is the light of the Moon showing me needs to be released now?
What doesn’t want to continue on with me into 2020?
What beliefs are holding me back from embodying my greatest truth?
Gemini is how we communicate, so activate the energy of your writing by speaking what you’ve written aloud. If you are with another, take turns speaking all you’ve written out loud to energize and bless these words. Feel yourself growing in strength and power as you acknowledge what you are releasing and what you are grateful for.
When you are complete, close the ritual by lighting your releasing paper to the candle flame and place it in the firesafe bowl. As it burns, watch the smoke carry away what you are releasing into the air, with the blessing of the light of the Moon and the light of your heart’s truth.
Keep the first page of writing in a journal or on an altar, and refer back to your heart’s illuminated guidance regularly during this next cycle.
When complete, close your eyes again, and take a long cleansing inhale, and release your breath in a long exhale.
Close by stating: And so it is. Blessed be.

Sharing sacred space with your loved ones in heart-opening ceremony during this sacred time of year would be a powerful gift for you all to experience together.
