TouchDrawing: Full Moon in Gemini

Posted on | December 12, 2008 | No Comments

Today at 11:37am (EST) is the Full Moon in Gemini.

Last night, I gathered my materials for a Touch Drawing session to commune with my Younger Self and connect with the lunar energies in Gemini. To help my Talking Self, I gathered some information from a few web sites and set an intent for the working.

From Astrolabe, where I do a “natal chart” for the moon (emphasis is mine):

Restless in the extreme, you are easily bored because of your short attention span. Your emotions change rapidly and you love to talk about your feelings. Generally, you have good judgment — your intellect controls your emotions and you do not overreact emotionally to things…. You have vivid powers of emotional self-expression — you can be a nonstop talker. You love to share your ideas with anyone who will listen.

From StarWeaver’s Corner (emphasis mine):

This Moon is charged with tension…. Out of this tension and confusion, a new alternative must be created. Instead of doing what you desire, or doing what you feel obliged to do, do what is to be done. Something not thought of yet, that acknowledges the diverging choices we face, but replaces them with something new, something that answers all the questions at once…. Use this Moon to make yourself willing and open to a new approach. Trust that it will manifest and speak clearly after you have completed your magical work tonight.

My intent: To fully express my emotions, both conscious and unconscious, and open myself to new approaches to experiencing and learning from my emotions.

Here are a few pictures…

Doing this practice on a weeknight after work, when I have other responsibilities at home, was difficult. I didn’t feel as relaxed as I did at the new moon, which was the Thanksgiving holiday.  I also left my iPod at home, so no music. There are two pictures in particular that touch a place where I am, but visually they are difficult to read.  Technically, the yellow is more difficult to work with because you cannot see the color through the newsprint as you can a dark color like red.

I am trying not to judge these images or compare them overly much with the last set, but to open to what they have to say to me, regardless of what I consciously felt or didn’t feel in the moment.
