November 30th 2020 brings us another lunar eclipse in Gemini, specifically in Ardra, a volatile and chaotic constellation that brings in storms and floods of information to our emotional space (also literal storms…). Of course…this is during the election…jeez.
The month of November brings us into a Sagittarius sun sign, where we try to illuminate and uproot the lies and deceptions that have been given to us. Having Mercury stationed behind the sun organizing all of the hidden secret information is of huge benefit to us right now. We use a fiery vision and inspiration, symbolized by the archer, to follow our ideals and share them with the world. Opposite to this forward-thinking visionary, we have Gemini, the flighty, playful, information-driven communicator of what’s happening in here and now (the local news reporter of the zodiac) — no big ideas needed here. The qualities of Gemini are amplified and misdirected during this eclipse. So, there is plenty of gossip and random tidbits of information here and there. But we’ll get to that later.
Now, we see the Sun sits with the South Node, meaning that we should let go of building our self-concept on what we think are the utmost righteous beliefs and principles. Zealous belief can stop us from understanding new helpful information.
Often times, the most self-righteous of people are the biggest fools and hypocrites. We have to let go of the “big vision” and focus on the real world changes that have to occur in life. This is the year of building a foundation and finding stability. The year’s number is 4.
Eclipse’s Make You Look Inside Yourself to Find the Hidden Truth Behind Your Internal Thought Structure and the Manifestations that Occur as a Result.
Moon conjunct North Node in Gemini creates a lot of emotional confusion and instability. We are definitely still confused as to what to believe, given the recent information that has hit us on a collective front. There is a ton of emotional awareness surrounding how we connect to new information and new input, or obtaining a wide variety of novel experiences and juggling unique ideas or perspectives. Be careful not to get lost in the darker nature of emotion at this time: jealousy, obsession, anger and lust. Give space to the emotions and let them pass. Also be very aware of the duplicity within business trade and commerce at the moment.
This will be the time to play and experiment with how we communicate our ideas with others.
A lunar eclipse in the 6th sign from Saturn gives us an overblown reaction to the obstacles and problems that all of us are going through. They are a part of life and we can deal with them calmly and effectively, one step at a time. We have to stay grounded and face whatever’s haunting us right now, likely any financial obligations we find ourselves carrying.
The moon’s transit through Gemini shows our emotional need to destroy the things that are in the way of emotional liberation. The next constellation is all about being untethered and completely free in the open skies. But before that comes, this eclipse shows us what kind of thinking we have to confront and change from within.
The lord of this Gemini lunar eclipse is Mercury and it sits in the late degrees of Scorpio, Jyestha, the eldest and most respected one. It’s not the most jovial or friendly of periods. Mercury is how we get along with friends and younger people. It becomes obsessively fixed on digging for knowledge in Scorpio, making it the 6th sign from the Moon. It blocks us from being able to emotionally relate to people in a light and optimistic channel. This is definitely a time when our emotions get lost in digging for what we think is “true” in the midst of all the perceived lies. It’s time to do some inner-work and get yourself sorted. Personal power is about staying strong in who you are regardless of what happens in the world, political, economic or otherwise (I know…pretty difficult).
Give your mind a break and stop thinking 24/7. You need times during the day when you can recuperate and rest in pure awareness, not be bombarded by thought forms. It’s the only way to not go insane in this world. Believe me.
