Your Full Moon Lunar Eclipse Horoscope & Reflection, According To Your Zodiac Sign

The last eclipse of the year is upon us, and tensions are running high. As you may recall, eclipses are powerful lunations, and though a full moon lunar eclipse is equivalent to an extra potent full moon, the effects of a lunar eclipse bring permanent finalities. In addition to shaking up internal and external foundations, however, eclipses shed light on the areas we’ve outgrown and/or no longer serve our highest truth. More often than not, a lunar eclipse will bring emphasis to the things we’ve become too attached to, as well as what needs to be let go of. This celestial event occurs three to four times each year, catapulting each and every one of us towards our destiny. If there’s one thing this astronomical phenomena is here to teach you is, you are a spiritual being living a human experience—nothing is promised. And though the fear of change and loss is instinctively human, eclipses remind us to let go and let God.

When exploring the spiritual symbolism behind a lunar eclipse, it’s no coincidence we’re not always able to witness this event from our view on planet Earth. In fact, it’s lack of visibility goes hand-in-hand with the shadow of the earth that’s casted over the full moon. And while I am referencing two different things—witnessing the event versus what actually takes place—the darkness we experience is symbolic of the unknown, and how we have no choice but to surrender to it. In simpler terms, it's that moment when the earth's shadow blocks the sun, that forces us to explore unfamiliar territories and consider new options. Again, and not to intimidate anyone, but there’s no denying the life-altering effects of this celestial occurrence as it activates the nodes of the moon, which are better known as the North Node and the South Node—they also go by the "Nodes of Fate," given their multidimensionality and karmic influence. 

On that note, the North Node — which symbolizes where the collective is headed — and South Node — which symbolizes what needs to be left behind — officially entered the axis of Gemini-Sagittarius on May 5. Also known as the astrological axis of knowledge, with the North Node in Gemini and the South Node in Sagittarius, it's time to say goodbye to the mindset, lifestyle, and philosophies you've outgrown in order to welcome in the new. As you may remember, the first of this eclipse series was a full moon penumbral lunar eclipse in Sagittarius, and it took place on June 5. Gemini governs the primitive mind and Sagittarius governs the abstract mind. Having said that, the collective mission stemming from this first eclipse focused on the information you gather firsthand versus the beliefs you've acquired throughout your lifetime. These themes are important to consider during the upcoming lunar eclipse in Gemini on Nov. 30, and the new moon solar eclipse in Sagittarius on Dec. 14.

Before digging deeper and discovering what this lunar eclipse has in store, take a moment to think back to the new moon in Gemini that took place in May 2020. Believe it or not, your lunar eclipse story will revolve around the events that took place during this time, as full moons are a symbol of spiritual completion. More importantly, and in order to get a better understanding of what this means for you, check which astrological houses belong to Gemini-Sagittarius in your birth chart—this is where your eclipse story comes to life. Remember, the moon also governs the subconscious mind, so your eclipse journey will consist of resetting your emotional world, and clearing away unconscious fears. Beaming brightly at exactly 8 degrees Gemini—on Monday, Nov. 30 at 4:30 a.m. EST—this will be the first of two eclipses, as they come in pairs. Please note that without disregarding the obvious polarity between Gemini-Sagittarius, both of these mutable signs have something in common, which is their desire to acquire knowledge. 

However, when looking at both zodiac archetypes more intricately, Mercury-ruled Gemini prefers to gather the facts firsthand (grains of sand) as opposed to Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius who prefers to focus on the bigger picture (box of sand). Think about how these themes could come to play in your personal and/or professional life. After all, the sun is in Sagittarius, right? Now, let’s focus on Gemini’s archetype. A mutable air sign, Gemini’s element speaks for itself in the sense that it's freedom-loving, and needs plenty of room to wander. The element air cannot be contained, which explains why air signs—Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius—are typically more independent than most. This element is symbolic of one's intellect, and ability to process information. For instance, when your lungs take in fresh air, the oxygen levels in your blood go up, and eventually circulate to your brain. This is what influences your ability to concentrate and remember information. 

Governed by clever Mercury—the messenger of the Gods—Gemini's mutable modality has the ability to tap into their right and left brain, which is precisely what makes them so skeptical. What are YOU skeptical about? Just so you know, the way you process information will be a pivotal theme during this time, so pay attention as this eclipse foreshadows a lot of information coming forth at once. More importantly, there's always more than one side to every story which, essentially, means there's no such thing as right or wrong. This is precisely where Gemini's non-conformist mindset comes to play, but this eclipse is challenging the collective to observe, break down, and analyze the infinite duality that exists all around us. Sure, there are two sides to a coin that complete the light and dark, but does this mean we can only choose one? Why not see both sides of the equation without losing track of the bigger picture?

Easier said than done, but we can’t confuse our thoughts with our emotions. Sure, one can certainly trigger another, but they can also be kept separate. With both the sun and the moon making aspects to the wounded healer, Chiron, everything from our mindset to our definition of truth could be challenged. Surrender to the moment. Stay present. The sun’s quincunx to intergalactic Uranus reminds us to tap into our higher minds, and super consciousness, despite what’s being told to us—good and bad. Pivotal information awaits us all.
