Full Moon in Gemini + Tarot Spread
If you haven’t heard there’s a mother fucking portal opening this month! We have the Full Moon in Gemini on 12/12 that is exact at 12:12 am - holy shit! The Universe is showing out with the last Full Moon of the decade, followed up with a Friday the 13th and a New Moon Eclipse in Capricorn at the end of the month! Work Baby WORK! This month is lit and won’t quit.
The Full Moon in Gemini is all about socializing, scheming, and syncing with the powers that be! We are being asked to search our minds to uncover and let go of anything that has been holding us back this last decade. Gemini is the first sign in the zodiac that introduces thought and consciousness. Communication will be a HOT topic during this FM! This could be great or uncomfortable, depending on what kind of communicator you are! Pro Tip: If you cannot articulate what you want to the universe you are not likely to get it.
Relationships will also be at the forefront of this Full Moon. Who in your life is stepping up and who in your life is stepping out? Shifts are happening right now and you want to be surrounded by people who uplift you and support your dreams moving into Capricorn Season.
This portal is opening during the New Moon in Capricorn Eclipse at the end of the month. Any dead weight you are carrying must be discarded before you enter into this new phase of life. Whatever path you walk as you pass through this portal will be cemented by Saturn/Capricorn for the next 32-years. This is a long cycle so make sure you are chasing your heart’s desires and not just sticking with what’s comfortable.
There is one thing we know for sure with this energy:
The devil we know IS NOT better than the devil we don’t!
Use this Full Moon in Gemini to be flexible of mind and examine what you have going on in your life, and if it’s what you want to continue for the next 32 years! If it’s not you better get to work on making some damn changes! This is not the time to be meek! Saturn does not reward those who hide from hard lessons.
Here’s a Tarot Spread to get you started:
Venus in Capricorn - Time to Climb!
This is great energy to establish your own personal boundaries and values and to organize your thoughts about how you want your current relationship to unfold or to determine what kind of relationship you are trying to manifest moving forward. Everything in the universe is in an earthy clay vibration right now and it’s our job to mold it into what we would like to see in our own reality moving forward.
Transit Dates: November 25th - December 20th
Venus swaggered her way into Capricorn on November 25th and sobered up real quick after her expansive and nomadic transit in Sagittarius. Surrounded by Saturn, the great taskmaster, and Pluto, the dark ruler of the underworld, the energies involving relationships start to get serious. Capricorn focuses on sturdy foundations and building relationships with intention.
Expect boundaries and values to be constant topics of conversation. There will be many opportunities for you to see where your needs are not being met in relationships. In fact, if you have been engaging in a relationship that is not in alignment with your vibration or preventing your growth you may see it viciously ripped away from you with little to no warning. Saturn rules Venus in Capricorn and is not the planet to play around with! It will always give you what you need, but rarely takes what you want into consideration.

Everything in the universe is in an earthy clay vibration right now and it’s our job to mold it into what we would like to see in our own reality moving forward.
Another thing to note about this transit is that it is preparing us for the seriously intense Capricorn stellium we have coming up in December. We will have a total of 5 planets (Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter, Sun and South node) and the New Moon in Capricorn on Dec. 26th! Even if you are brand new to astrology you can probably gather that this is A TON of Capricorn energy and we need to be ready to use it to our every advantage. Trust me its what Saturn wants and expects of you! The time for prepping and contemplating your plans is over starting in December it’s time to make some serious moves.
Questions to ask yourself during this transit:
Do I feel stable mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically?
How can I tighten up my personal boundaries?
What are my standards and have I made them clear to the universe?
When do I plan on putting my plans into action?
Here’s a Tarot Spread for Venus in Capricorn:
2019 Year of the Empress
As we leave the year of the High Priestess we start to walk out of the dark subconscious energy of spiritual development and into the light and nurturing energy of The Empress. The Empress is a card bursting with abundance and new life. Creativity will be off the charts this year and money should be more accessible. Expect women to make incredible strides this year, there is no stopping us when we stand together! Astrologically we are starting this year off in really good shape with absolutely no planets in Retrograde!

Full Moon in Libra + Tarot Spread
“One of the most courageous decisions youll ever make is to finally let go of what is hurting your heart and soul”
Thank you guys for being patient with my absence. I appreciate all the love, encouragement and support I've received during this vulnerable time! Lets get back on track with a Full Moon Forecast and Tarot Spread, shall we?
This Full Moon is going to bring with it the struggle between meeting your own needs and meeting the needs of those around you. There is an opposition between the Full Moon in Libra and the Sun in Aries. Libra represents partnerships, relationships, and one on one interactions, while Aries rules over the self, individuality and internal affairs. The key to this Full Moon energy is to find balance! A balance between meeting your own needs, while still being compassionate and kind to others in your life. Don't forget, kindness is free and it is never the wrong approach.
We also have ever expanding Jupiter in Libra cozying up to the Full Moon in the 7th house and erratic Uranus in Aries gearing up with the Sun in the 1st house. This opposition gives off a feeling of Light vs Dark or Us vs Them. We have to rise above this vibration because with Pluto in Capricorn bringing up a T-square to this transit things can get ugly fast. When Pluto is in this square it can sometimes signify losing your humanity and compassion for other people and that is not the answer that will bring healing and resolution to any situation.
The 7th house which is hosting both the Full Moon and Jupiter in Libra right now is also known as The Mirror House. Through our relationships, we are shown our own faults, limitations, and downfalls. It is important that we take that information into our own psyche and not try to tell other people how to live their lives. People are where they are and when they want to be somewhere else, they will move. Instead of trying to lead other people out of their personal darkness, focus on yourself and work to clean up your own life and bad habits!
In the 12th House, we have Venus is retrograde in Pisces right next to Chiron in Pisces. That sentence may not mean a lot to someone who doesn't study the stars, but what it comes down to is reliving old wounds. Childhood wounds - sure, but I'm talking much older than that. I'm talking about the karmic baggage that you have been dragging along with you for lifetimes. It's time to let that shit go. It's time to move in a new direction. It's time to free yourself from the burdens of your past. This aspect really allows you to dive into work revolving around your inner child that can lead to serious breakthroughs and progress.
Why did you choose this particular life path? Why did you choose that mate? Why did you choose that family member? Why did you choose that baby daddy? I would guess it was because it/they had a very important karmic lesson to teach you, are you getting it? Take the time to do some self-reflection about your role in your relationships and your relationship with yourself. Something big is trying to break through for you, as my mom would say, “if you're tired of waiting, raise your vibration”.
Here is a Full Moon Spread to get you guys on track!
