Sending you light & blessings for this Full Moon in Gemini. This moon has a destined feeling to it, and you may feel the hands of Fate maneuvering things in your favor (even if your mind doesn’t understand it quite yet).

Full Moons always bring the enregy of completion, celebration, and clearing – and also usually have some kind of tension, often illuminating things that have been hidden. This Full Moon is here to support you, to help you to release & let go of all of those thought forms that you have accumulated over the past 6 months, since the New Moon in Gemini back at the end of May.
This includes ways of communicating to yourself & others that no longer serve – but the really deep part is all of the disempowering ways of thinking about yourself & others that have been slowly eating away at your optimism & enthusiasm for life. Negative Nancy lives somewhere inside all of us, but at some point, you have to tell her to shut the fuck up.
Mercury, the ruler of this Full Moon, has just finished his retrograde journey. As we make our way back through the Dark Forest for the 3rd & final time, this Full Moon comes in to help us clean up & clear out our internal thoughts, mental patterns, and ways of communicating (to ourselves & others).
ASPECTS TO THE Gemini Full MOON
The Full Moon occurs at 13° Gemini and will be engaged in the following aspects:
- Square (challenged) by the North Node at 13° Pisces
- Square (challenged) by the South Node at 13° Virgo
When you have 2+ planets exactly 90° away from both the sun & the moon, this formation is called a Grand Cross. Made up of four 90° squares, the Grand Cross usually signifies great challenge, and under its influence, we often prefer to take the difficult path.
However – this Grand Cross is different.
Since it’s the Nodes that form the square to the Sun & the Moon, and the focal point is the Full Moon, it would be said that the Moon is at “the bendings” of the Nodes. From this perspective (on the top of the mountain, if you will), the Full Moon illuminates both the Past (South Node) and the Future (North Node). Sometimes this can give us a feeling of confusion – should we press forward into the unknown, or indulge in our nostalgia for the past? The energy here feels pointed, as if the signs & symbols hidden in our lives are speaking to us with more clarity & force.
But there’s more…. Since the Full Moon is 90° in front of the North Node, there is a heightened energy similar to that of the North Node. This is a time when outer manifestations express more easily, we feel an influx of energy, and destiny seems to be calling our name.
So even though there can be some challenges during this Full Moon, ultimately the hands of Fate are rearranging things in our lives in our favor and for our benefit, even if our minds don’t see it yet and are scrambling around to try to figure something out.
Where have you allowed your own expectations of how you thought something was going to/”should” have happened to push you over the cliff of disappointment?
The 35th Gate is called Progress, and it’s the Gate of Change. There is a restlessness in this energy, and we can feel intense feelings & desires for particular outcomes. There is a hunger for a particular experience to feel a particular way, but this quickly turns into a slippery slope.
Watch your expectations with this Full Moon.
You can get caught up in the past, reminiscing about how things have been before, and wishing for the same experience – only to be disappointed when it does not occur.
As you can see we also have Saturn in Gate 36 (Crisis), turning on the full channel: 36-35 Channel of Transitoriness, a Design of a “Jack of all Trades.”
The Channel of Transitoriness links the Solar Plexus to the Throat Center through the Gate of Darkening of the Light/Crisis (36) and the Gate of Progress/Change (35). In this energy, we are all being conditioned to have a deep desire for adventure and to collect different experiences. Our biggest challenge is not to get hooked on meeting the expectations of our desires. Doing anything for the first time isn’t easy and often results in crisis, but the depth of emotional awareness is the treasure we collect.
Our challenge during this time is to simply allow the experiences we have to be just that – experiences – and to not have our hopes dashed upon the sharp rocks of our preconceived expectations.
As the saying goes, expectations are premeditated disappointments.
In the Synthesis Membership, for each Full Moon and New Moon, I share 3 audio transmissions that are usually around 20-50 minutes each:
____
- An overview of the Full/New Moon in the particular sign.
- Diving into the details of the various Planetary Aspects that are also involved in the conversation.
- Exploring the correspondences of the Full/New Moon to the Human Design Gates, Gene Keys, and Tarot.
- Reflecting back on everything you’ve been through in 2025, and especially the last 6 months, what has changed around your communication/thinking (towards self & others) that you’re celebrating with this full moon? (Hint: check your chart for 13° Gemini).
- What thought forms, ideas, and ways of communicating with yourself and others are you ready to leave behind as we prepare to enter 2026?
- Where are you feeling the hands of Fate gently (or not so gently) pushing you forward in the direction of your destiny?
- Where have you allowed your own expectations of how you thought something was going to happen to push you over the cliff of disappointment?
- How can you become more grounded & centered in your body (instead of top heavy with your mind trying to lead), so that you can experience whatever life presents without the influence of preconceived expectations?
