Dancing with duality
Today is the day to write, to express, to communicate in a way you’ve lost touch with or have forgotten, or find communication in a new way entirely.
Free write with your non-dominant hand, free draw, freely move your body to what inspires your expression, release, and your letting go into your improvisational, authentic expression and communication.
Move your body today and let it tell the stories you’ve locked up deep inside.
Let what appears in your drawing to speak and respond to you.
Let your poetry reveal that the wisdom in ancient texts was already expressing itself and guiding you.
Change it up and you may glean new information about your relationship to your source and your creative power without the overwhelm or disconnect that can happen when we have a FullMoon square the nodes like today.
The emotions are subjective and point to the definitions that produce the feelings we experience. Remember this is to liberate yourself from untruths and steward your consciousness toward productive means.
The Moon rules Cancer where Jupiter is retrograde. Cancer is cardinal and therefore initiates something new.
Here we dive into our personal subjective experience, ego, through investigating our internal narrative to find what definitions do not serve us creatively.
This square is tight and could translate into emotional pressure that needs constructive and creative expression rather than destructive emotional waves in the way pent up or repressed feelings and emotions do without an outlet.
Rather than disconnecting and “splitting” through tight feelings, repressed truths, or the ways we’ve defined things to now, let your intuition speak to get through what your left brain and the ego cannot see or resists in the moment.
With Gemini we are juggling two sides of ourselves and the dual nature of our inherent make up.
The left and right hemispheres of the brain.
The masculine and feminine forces we carry.
The soul and ego.
The light and shadow.
What we know and what we don’t know.
As with any polarity the idea is that they are both aspects of the self to be integrated. They are opposing points of view but when understood they work together. They allow for each other to inform and produce wholeness.
This FullMoon is ruled by Mercury post shadow in Scorpio in a trine with the Sun’s planetary ruler, Jupiter retrograde forming the grand water trine again with Saturn.
The water element is fertile to pour into creations that are deeply authentic and personally meaningful.
Here we turn anger / desire or hot emotion into beauty.
We move our energy.
And the body knows exactly how to move when we are authentic and we do not judge or demean ourselves or what is (moon square the nodes).
We find our body knew the change in beat spot on.
We trust it and we allow it to teach us how to ride it consciously with power, with soul, and effectively.
It’s invigorating, exciting, and deeply satisfying to feel your soul and your brilliance move you. You know it you’ve seen it before.
If you are a dancer, a musician, a speaker, a practitioner of your own creativity in any way, you know.
This is where trust in yourself produces intuitive creative direction.
This is what Uranus in Taurus has been assisting us to integrate.
Self reliance through self investigation and self trust.
Self trust requires self honesty to one’s essential nature. This will be upcoming themes when Chiron moves to Taurus and Uranus to Gemini in 2026.
For this last FullMoon of 2025, art, dance, play, movement, or freedom in communicating is a great exercise in bridging the left and right hemispheres of the brain together for intuitive guidance.
As the Gnostics knew “divinity descends willingly into humanity rather than humanity striving to escape its inherent fallenness … undermining the very power structure of mediation”.
Mercury as it rules the south node in Virgo is the embodiment of the God/Goddess/Priest/Priestess within. Our natural authority is found within.
The inhibiting, limiting and depleting, repressive, oppressive structures are naturally dissolving in ways that free our self into our natural creative expansion if we can see the opportunity in the chaos, are not afraid, and we trust ourselves and we engage what wants to be seen most importantly about ourselves.
The FullMoon is exact 12/4/25 3:14 pm PST.
The resolution to the square the nodes is release, heal thyself, turn empathy into compassion, implement healthy emotional boundaries and direct communication into constructive creativity and an honest telling of what is valuable and true for you, what ideas are meaningful for you here.
Mars in Sagittarius quincunx Jupiter retrograde shows we can become inflated in our own unresolved narrative, old stories and old scripts we’ve been running… even since our earliest psychological development. We may find we need to steward the inner child into safe territory mentally and emotionally.
We could project those big emotions onto others when fear creeps in.
Carl Jung said “the shadow is not the totality of the unconscious, it is specifically those aspects disowned by the personality”.
We are working with light and shadow, the known and unknown parts of ourselves looking for avenues of integration and expression and ultimately fulfillment. As one of my teachers says “Fulfillment is your inherent nature”.
