We are in a busy week astrologically — and December is an impressive month of activity. At this point, it’s vital to get a handle on your priorities and not waste time. We are in Sagittarius right now, the phase of the year when time seems to run the fastest. It’s crucial to plan and time your activities with a sense of perspective. Start with a list of things that you can put off until mid-January and keep yourself busy with what truly must happen before the holidays.

Let’s stick to this week, though. We’re entering the full phase of the Moon at the moment; the exact Gemini Full Moon is Weds., Dec. 2 at 2:30 am EST.
The Moon ingresses Gemini Tuesday morning at 9:23 am. Tuesday night is therefore the peak of energy, but we are currently riding the wave, as in right now. We all know what Full Moon energy feels like, though we can all benefit from reminders to go gently on any situation that might polarize. It can also be helpful in gently — gently — unraveling situations that seem intractable. To sum up: Full Moon energy will either polarize situations (often unnecessarily) or help work through situations that are already polarized. The problem with this kind of advice is that most people are taking a ride on the lunar energy (a kind of emotional trip) , rather than steering consciously. So the idea is to bring things to the level of awareness; to notice how you are feeling, or responding, and checking in whether it’s rational or sensible.
If you are planning to start anything this week, I suggest waiting until after the Full Moon has passed, and not following your emotional impulses. One interesting bit about this Full Moon is the involvement of two minor planets. Well, let’s make that five. This deserves a little blog of its own so I won’t get too long-winded, but: the Sun is conjunct Hylonome (self-inflicted) and the Moon is conjunct Chaos (which can be the fertile chaos of creation). This is along the nuclear axis — a zone in the zodiac where nuclear issues tend to pop up, so it’s no shock that we have pretty big nuke news out of Iran this week. Involved in the setup is something that says: the pictures seem true because we want them to be true. Which does not make them true. Beware, news hounds. Not every photograph is true, and every photo tells a little lie.
