Hi there! How are you being this December?

Did last week’s Full Moon in Gemini  reveal opportunities that have been hiding in plain sight? Did you suddenly see so clearly that more options are available to you than you could previously perceive? Gemini is the sign of multiplicity, this can mean multi-tasking and many options to choose from and the challenge is to not exhaust yourself by scattering your energy about. Beware of overwhelm and take plenty of me-time to feel what it is you really want to invest your energy in and pay attention to. This is a time you will receive fresh information and inspired ideas and perspectives. When the other speaks, try to listen and understand. See if you can truly listen and connect, not react, but respond (if needed).

And to connect to others and myself, I gifted moi with a time-out I went to the city of Leeuwarden last weekend with my besty, on a quest ‘to seek the spirit of Christmas magic’. Every year I find it harder to grasp this energy. The days are dark and bleak, at the office there is end of year rush, there is so much emphasize on commercialism, I find it hard to find the heart of the festivities when I walk through the streets of Amsterdam. Now I didn’t quite find it in Leeuwarden, but I did have a wonderful time spending quality time with a friend, enjoying the city’s beauty, having drinks and food together, watching “Last Christmas” in the cinema and staying at a welcoming b&b. Leeuwarden is such a quiet city, it feels more like a town and the relaxed atmosphere and solitude did wonders for my stress levels. I felt so rested, even after two days away from the ongoing cycle of everyday life.

This is also the reason why this post is a bit late after this month’s Full Moon, but I decided to share this anyway.

To gift myself more clarity and direction I did a Full Moon in Gemini tarot reading for myself last Thursday:

  1. The deepest gift of this Full Moon – Three of Water (RX) – the deepest gift of this Moon is that I can more easily receive the deep hurt of feeling unsupported and lonely, that deep wound of feeling unloved. And to now see this for what it truly is and that is old information, old pain stuck in my cells. With the emphasis on old, as this is not true today, but I am the one who keeps believing it, so I am asked by this Moon to cleary see that I can set myself free. I will keep seeing mirrored in others the way I feel about myself. Time to feel love and supported.
  2. What truth am I ready to see and embrace? Two of Earth (RX) – that I so often forget what matters because of overwhelm and not being able to commit. I can’t truly connect to others if I don’t stop multi-tasking and start to focus and commit. 
  3. What magick am I ready to reclaim? – Earth Sister tells me this is the brink of transformation. Something new is coming. The world’s hardest and most beautiful gem is born of the deepest fold of the earth’s darkness. I am moving steadily and have mastered a sense of who I am spiritually, emotionally, intellectually and physically. The seed of creativity has been planted within me.
  4. What habit or pattern am I invited to release? One of Water invites me to shield myself better so I stop feeling everything so strongly, even other people’s shit. Stop being too open and vulnerable. I need to find more balance in being an open channel when I choose to, so it is not exhausting me any longer. So better spiritual self-care.
  5. What am I asked to open up to? Two of Water speaks of romantic love and partnership and a great sense of connection. Well I say: “bring it on Cupid!”.

A very happy week to you!
