The last Full Moon of 2011 today in mental Gemini—an Eclipse—which are always cosmo-collective-accelerators and highlights tension between immediate needs and future goals.
Mercury, Gemini’s, planet, is currently retrograde, thus bringing to a head all ideas, plans, discussions, deals, agreements and the need to renegotiate, review, revise for when Mercury goes direct next Weds.
Mars makes a tense angle to the Sun and Moon so, so emotion can be vigorous and testy. Ind addition, Uranus, the rebellious awakener, which has been a shocking catalyser for change—i.e, immense political and geological quakes this year, since it went into (new beginnings) Aries in March, the exact day of the major Japanese earthquake and has been retrograde since July, but today goes direct, and will give more traction to collective forces seeking change to old systems that are crumbling; and especially as it starts to make a stress angle with deeply transformative Pluto (exact June 2012), as it has already done this year, and will continue through till 2015.
Symbolic of individualised will and collective forces, Mars (armies or corporations) will be in the feminine, ecological sign of Virgo till July 2012, also ruled by Mercury, and going through a retrograde phase, which is likely to bring out global government brinkmanship dealing with conflict as well as interpersonal dynamics in relationships.
Venus is the go-between diplomacy goddess, she is in various-view-points Gemini from April, staying there till August, including a retrograde phase. So mid 2012 is loaded for an evolving new order to be brokered, albeit—tentatively, and touches upon the Gemini Eclipse today which resonates with unresolved deepening conflict—civil war in Syria and the UK (reneging) pulling out of the Euro and further fractures in the global fiscal system.
