Greetings! I hope you all enjoyed time with family and friends on Thanksgiving. Today, we shift our focus to the Gemini Full Moon. Due to my being away to visit with family, I won’t be holding a Moon Circle at the Enchanted Fae. However, you can still make your own Full Moon celebration with these tips for how to harness Gemini energy.
Making Magick on a Gemini Moon
Ruled by quick-witted Mercury, Gemini shines its best in the realm of the mind. Spells concerning new ideas, communication, teaching, learning, computers, travel, and the marketplace will have especially potent power. If you bickered with siblings yesterday, consider a honey jar spell to recreate harmony under the sign of the twins. Due to Gemini’s association with mimicry, it is advantageous to use sympathetic magick with poppets and pictures. Petition magick, or writing what is desired, also works well.
Spur-of-the-moment spellcrafting is fine; that’s how quick Gemini likes it best anyway. Incorporate sweet incense, aerial herbs like peppermint and lavender, and feathers into your altar set up to increase airy Gemini energy in your sacred space.
Health and Food
Gemini commands our ability to be productive, ruling the arms, hands, fingers, lungs, and nerves. Increase your intake of potassium chloride, the fibrin-building cell salt associated with this sign. You’ll find it in dairy foods, eggs, lean meats, and fish and pitted fruits like plums and peaches. Veggies containing this cell salt include asparagus, green beans, celery, carrots, spinach, and radishes. Eat sauerkraut to rebalance the gut after yesterday’s feasting. Grapefruit, apples, almonds, and fish will help your nerve health to prevent anxiety from crippling your immune system. Avoid coffee and junk food; they will weaken the body and destabilize the mood.
In the spirit of Gemini, switch up your workout routine with some agility training or hand-eye coordination exercises. Alternatively, take care of your nerves and mental health by engaging in self-care. Find some stillness through meditation or hold a cup of warm herbal tea to your chest. Take time to curl up with a good book. Enjoy a break today so you feel replenished when the world resumes its struggles in full swing on Monday.
Home and Garden
The weather is chilly, once-green fields are browning, and indeed, the moon is barren in Gemini. Still, the dryness makes it perfect for harvesting the last fruits and roots of the season. Cultivate and till to adding a bit of air to the soil for pest and weed control. Remove dead branches so that wintry weather won’t knock them down later. Care for your tools–your spade and pruners are an extension of your arms, and thinking ahead prevents headaches later.
Gemini has a tendency to make us focus on everything but our living surroundings, and it’s likely that your living space is a little messy right now. That’s okay; Gemini’s greatest secret is making a mess look like organized chaos. If you decorate for Yuletide, take everything out and use it as an excuse for the messy house. No, really. Once the moon rolls into Cancer in a few days, you’ll be in full nesting-mode and all that unsightly clutter will find it’s rightful place.
Looking to make a daring change to your living space? You’ll have the creative impulse to do it now. Add a fresh green with a new philodendron. Place a free-form citrine crystal grid on your coffee table. Create an adorable paper poppy display to bring mentally-stimulating vibrancy amidst the drab late-fall scenery.
Hopefully, you now have plenty of ideas for using this Gemini moon to the fullest. Don’t be afraid to cool it. If you’re feeling a bit scattered due to the extra lunar energy, joining with family and friends for some fun is a perfectly fitting Gemini-inspired activity. And, as always, remember these tips apply whenever the moon is in Gemini, not only during the full moon. Enjoy!
