This is the “oth­er side” of
the New Moon Solar Eclipse of two weeks ago. The release/renewal of spiritual
influ­ences at each New Moon find their com­pli­ment and coun­ter­point at the
fol­low­ing Full Moon. One point, the New Moon, is the like a spir­i­tu­al “Seed­ing
of Mean­ing”, the fol­low­ing Full Moon is like a “Har­vest of
Under­stand­ing”, and through their con­stant inter­play the uni­verse provides
you with signs, sym­bols and wis­dom as you make your jour­ney through Space.

How­ev­er, when the New Moon and Full Moon
are eclipses, it becomes a lit­tle more pro­found and occult (hid­den), you have
to delve a lit­tle more deeply to under­stand what the Meaning/Understanding
might be. I wrote about this Full Moon Eclipse in my Overview for 2012. This is
what I wrote then:

Lunar Eclipse in Gemini
(Novem­ber 28)

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini
inter­rupts the rev­e­la­tion you were hop­ing for. You were seek­ing to bend and
stretch your intel­li­gence so as to hold two (or more) approach­es to the issue
you con­front. Again, it is your men­tal “blind spot”, your unquestioned
pat­terns and assump­tions that need to be seen as stand­ing in your way. Real
intel­li­gence is not exer­cised in hav­ing the “cor­rect” answer by
accept­ing the con­ven­tion­al par­a­digm; it is much more impor­tant to be able to
shift your assump­tions so that you can ques­tion the ques­tion itself!

In an ordi­nary Full Moon, Luna bright­ly reflects the Sun’s
illu­mi­na­tion for you…it clear­ly reveals the deep­er Mean­ing of the original
seed­ing (New Moon) through her coun­ter­point of Under­stand­ing. How­ev­er, with the
shad­ow of the Earth cross­ing over the Moon (as in this Eclipse), the mes­sage is
par­tial­ly obscured by the Veil of Assump­tions formed by prevailing
thought-forms, emo­tions and fears here on Earth…your own, more lim­it­ed point
of view on Earth is obscur­ing the message.

What do you do? When­ev­er you encounter a shad­ow, you need to reduce or
elim­i­nate it with oth­er sources or points of illumination…you need to enlarge
your point of view so that it is more intu­itive, inclu­sive and clear-see­ing. The
ordi­nary mes­sage of Gem­i­ni needs to be enhanced, you need to shift your awareness
and chal­lenge your assump­tions, pre­sump­tions and “truths”.

The usu­al mes­sage of the Full Moon in Gem­i­ni is always there to pro­vide a
nec­es­sary coun­ter­point and bal­ance to the pre­vail­ing theme of the Sun in
Sagit­tar­ius. Sagit­tar­ius rev­els in Deduc­tive Under­stand­ings, which is when you
posit grand the­o­ries or prin­ci­ples to explain your expe­ri­ence. How­ev­er, when
tak­en too far you can lose touch with that very real­i­ty itself, you become
enam­ored with your love­ly cas­tles of thought-forms that increas­ing­ly bear no
rela­tion­ship to the real world at all…You lose touch with the greater reality
around you. 

As you con­front the dis­con­nect between what you actu­al­ly experience
and your self-wrapped mod­el­ing of the world you will have two choic­es: 1) you
either refuse to deal with real­i­ty and remain in your increas­ing­ly less than
real­is­tic world mod­el, or 2) you aban­don your mod­el and begin to re-con­nect to
what is actu­al­ly hap­pen­ing in your world.

This is where Gem­i­ni comes in as the advo­cate of Induc­tive Reasoning,
of gath­er­ing, observ­ing and exam­in­ing a myr­i­ad of data points with as little
pre­sump­tion or fil­ter­ing as pos­si­ble. Even­tu­al­ly, you cre­ate a body of
knowl­edge about your world that is built up, lay­er by lay­er, from your real
expe­ri­ences. Nor­mal­ly at the Gem­i­ni Full Moon you would be able to engage your
adap­tive, inquis­i­tive and con­trar­i­an fac­ul­ties as a coun­ter­point and bal­ance to
the pre­vail­ing Sagit­tar­i­an deduc­tive rea­son­ing with its self-shadowing
assump­tions. You would be able to chal­lenge the par­a­digm by ques­tion­ing those
very assumptions…and rev­el in your mind’s abil­i­ty to think “out­side the
box”.

But here at the eclipse you must go further…it is not enough to
ques­tion the par­a­digm or world views as put forth by the cul­tur­al verities,
polit­i­cal alle­giances or reli­gious ortho­dox­ies that claim to explain
“life” as it is or ought to be. You need to free your per­cep­tions and
see through these prisms to an even more inclu­sive understanding. 

What might
that be, how can you do that? It would seem that either you work inductively,
from the small­er to greater, or deduc­tive­ly, from the greater to the
lesser…what else is there?

Actu­al­ly, you have your most dis­tin­guish­ing spir­i­tu­al gift, part of what
makes you “human” and it will pro­vide the answer here. It is part of
your ongo­ing, unfold­ing awak­en­ing where your mind or ordi­nary con­scious­ness is
lift­ed up by your high­er self…and it is known to you, oh yes it is…it is
your Imagination! 

Your Imag­i­na­tion is that most won­drous spir­i­tu­al fac­ul­ty that truly
inspires your growth of under­stand­ing, about your­self and your uni­verse, and
cre­ates the means by which you can accept what has been, under­stand what is really
before you now and dream, yes dream of your bet­ter tomorrows! 

This is one of your Gifts of the Spir­it and it has ever quick­ened your
devel­op­ment in the Human King­dom of Life. Your progress is not acci­den­tal or
incre­men­tal, and it has more often been accom­plished by and through these great
leaps of self-tran­scen­dence, for beat­en paths are for those who beaten…Instead you will Imagine,
you will Dream…and you will become a wonder! 

Here at the Eclipse you need to re-imag­ine both your Deduc­tions and
Induc­tions, you need to think way out­side the box…By using your Intuitional
Intel­li­gence you will open the door to anoth­er realm of Under­stand­ing, you will
approach that much near­er to the realm of Divine Thought. Your
Imagination/Intuition allows you to cross beyond your self-accept­ed, self-made
bound­aries of what is “Real” to your The­o­ries or Facts. It does this
by help­ing you to move beyond your Cul­tur­al prisms and Sci­en­tif­ic Dogmas. 

Just like any pre­vi­ous seek­er of greater under­stand­ing, who had to put
aside the known to dis­cov­er the greater in their time, you must be will­ing to
approach your world with more Open­ness and Wonder…with the eyes of a child… 

Per­haps, with enough
imag­i­na­tion, you can even dream of becom­ing anoth­er type of being altogether…Imagine
how this world would be per­ceived or under­stood if you were some form of bird
of the air, or if you swam as a fish in the seas…or maybe some­thing beyond
entirely…What would you know or see then? 

To Dream, to Imagine…that is how your Future is made…

For what is Now, was made long, long ago…and it is done.

What will your new day bring, who will greet the Sun?

Be the Dream­er, be the Imagineer…let Intu­ition be your guide.

Move, grow, smile…beyond all those box­es and let your High­er Self… 

Show you the Way.
