Hi, how are you? Happy Gemini season. It's Sunday as I'm recording this, the 24th, so we're a few days in. And I wanna talk about the full moon in Sagittarius, which is happening next weekend. And I also want to talk about this idea of what I would refer to as living from the outside in, which is very Heightened at the moment. Um, and certainly in Gemini season. It's a, it's a great season to, like, illustrate how easy it is to absorb the outside world first. So that's what we're gonna get up to. Uh, the full moon is happening on Sunday the 31st of May, my time, uh, in the evening just before 7:00 PM. And what makes it somewhat singular, you know, the full moon in Sag happens every Gemini season. And the personal planets, the social and the transpersonal planets are in different positions. And for this one, the sun and Uranus will be in, still in their conjunction, which has been the case since we moved into Gemini season. It's what I was talking about last week. And that continues, uh, really up until, what would that be, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday of next week. Um, which, what's that? The 3rd maybe. Yeah, the 3rd of June we will have this Uranus-Sun conjunction, and the moon will be exactly opposite that with the full moon. So I really want to focus on this out- uh, this idea of living from the outside in, and really the cost of doing that. I'm breaking no new territory by saying that this is a very loud time, Gemini season is an incredibly potent time to really bring consciousness, which is what the sun represents, to your relationship with information, how you absorb it, and what it is that you're absorbing. What are the worlds that you're building through what you're looking at? And what is being reflected back at you? Part of the magic of Gemini is its openness Which allows it to go, "Okay, that's interesting, but..." I don't know. There's something like almost inherently contrarian about Gemini. It can be like, "Yeah, but what's the opposite of this?" Or like, "Show me the flip side. I'm curious about both." The, the way that that openness can be utilized unconsciously is it's really easy to program our reality, or to have our reality programmed. And when I say reality, I mean specifically our perceptual lens, which is also what Gemini represents. So it's a very, very strong time naturally to be observing what, how do I stay within myself? How long do I stay within myself when I wake up before I, open up my browser to the collective, uh, and, or, like reconnect to the collective world, the, the collective, uh, brain, internet brain, human hive brain, whatever you wanna call it. How long do I stay within that sacredness of my own energy, let's say my own channel, my own impulses, my own vitality, my own signature before I, uh... Yeah, I just feel like I'm... Y- y- you can't see me, but it's like before I like almost like put on the collective lens and take in a lot of different information, in a very small or large amount of time. Gemini, especially with Uranus there, and while the sun is illuminating Uranus and Gemini, something that's really, let's say, exaggerated during this time is claircognizance. And claircognizance is information, knowledge that arrives through thought. Uh, it's what some people may refer to as downloads. Um, really, it's knowing things without knowing how you know them. But it's also really being aware of where your eye goes. Uh, what am I looking at? Uh, like for example, when I'm reading somebody's chart, part of what I'm utilizing is claircognizance, uh, in the sense that as somebody is talking, or even when I just pull up the chart, my eye goes to very specific areas. And then when somebody is talking and we're in discussion during their chart reading, they might be talking about something, and my eye is going to the planet that they're talking about. And I've really learnt to trust that part of myself. Now, if you're a very cerebral person, and you have something like claircognizance, it's really-- I, I, I-- really, it depends on your own relationship with your own intuition, but claircognizance can be a really difficult one to learn to trust. I think it's really difficult for in- i- for cerebral people to learn to trust their intuition, because it can easily-- And this goes for any of you who have your moon in an air sign or an air house, a traditionally airy house, which is number three, seven, and eleven. Uh, because you can easily bounce the thing. You receive the intel, and then you bounce it around your mind, and you start thinking about it, and you start asking-- you a- ask questions like, "Was that my intuition? Was that just my thought?" You know, it, it sort of i- there's so much analysis of the thing that it's completely lost its charge, and, and you've lost y- that initial feeling of like, ooh, you know. Um, whatever that ooh is, it will be really, uh, personal to you. So- What I, so this is heightened for all of us right now with the sun in an air sign with Uranus, this sort of intergalactic feeling. Very fast, super highway of collective ideas, uh, bouncing around in this very, very open, fast, cerebral sign. Uh, it's just, it's clear cognizance on steroids. And if, I guess my point is, if we are taking in a lot of information, which I, I'm gonna Look, I'm gonna bet that 99% of us, 'cause I include myself here, that are listening to this, um, are taking in a lot of information every day. Then again, how are you processing all of that intel? How conscious are you when you are having a scroll? 'Cause the thing is, like a lot of us, no breaking news here, but we, uh, I feel like so many of us go there to unwind, but it's actually incredibly stimulating to take in so much information. But we can really be dissociated, like we're not in our body, we're in our eyes, we're in our, our, our thinking self, but kind of quite unconsciously. And so we're taking all this information and, and, you know, you put the phone down, you don't feel restored. It's not like going out and sitting outside in the sun reading a book or just watching nature. It's a very different experience. It's not being filled up with sustenance. It kind of makes you feel fried or wired, um, or overstimulated. Uh, and so with this full moon in Sagittarius, this is a beautiful axis, this opposition of Sagittarius and Gemini. Great allies. This is fire, Sag, and air, Gemini. Elementally, very great allies, can make huge fires together, can have great conversations. There's, there's so much being sparked between the two of you. Um, if you know anyone who's a Sag, I have a lot I, I, I really resonate with Sags. Uh, love them. Not all of them, but all the ones I'm friends with, love. Um, and what's interesting with this axis is it's this axis of information into Wisdom. Well, information into knowledge, and then let's say the higher octave of that is wisdom, storytelling, but from lived experience. Uh, it's... This is experiential territory. This is also the student becoming the teacher I was just writing about Sag during the week for something, and that's what I was really focusing on or, or, or looking at. And where Sag... Now, because it's a full moon in Sagittarius, we're looking at the- these unconscious expressions of this sign. One of the really unconscious expressions of this sign is, "It's my way or it's the highway. This is what I think about this," or, "This was my experience. This was my uncovering of this truth for myself, and now somehow it's become the truth, and you must abide by it, too." It's where we can really become the preacher, you know? Um, it's certainly, yeah, it's, "It's my way or the highway." It is, you know, this is the archer, but in this unconscious expression, this is an archer who never has the fiery courage to release the arrow, but has great form. You know? But they're, they've not lived what they're talking or what they're teaching. Um, and the high expression is exactly the opposite of that. It's somebody who has dove headfirst into so many reality channels, has h- held so many golden tickets in their hand, and been like, "This is it." Like, "This is the truth." And then they've had that experience where they've told their friends, like, "You gotta try X, Y, Z." Like, "This is the ultimate." And then they've popped back out of that reality channel and been like, "Whoa. Okay. I went really far down that. I went really far down that one." Maybe, you know... And, and, and there's a breadth of experience with Sagittarius in its higher echelons. I- again, in its unconscious form it's blind faith, and it, and it gives all of its, uh, choice, belief, faith, meaning making, to a middle man, a middle woman, whatever. Uh, whereas the higher expression does not have the middle man, is the go-between between the lived experience that they're on the frontline of, and the digestion of that knowledge into lived wisdom, and that's what high Sag speaks from. Elevated Sag, conscious Sag speaks from. So what's interesting is we've got this full moon happening on Sunday opposite this high openness, open to receiving a lot of information that may or may not be organic, that may or may not be real. Um, it is a very famous Gemini who really kind of coined this phrase of truth and alternative truth, or ultimate truth, whatever it is. I can't even remember. Um, you know, there's this sort of slipperiness of what is real. I feel like there's a lot of us that have had an experience in the last year or five or six, or longer, where we've gone, like, "What is real here?" I was saying to one of my, um, to Anne, one of my, uh, legendary astrology school students on Friday in a sesh, it's like I really have this sense like reality is liquid. And right now it's just, it's ultra liquid. It's so, um, malleable, and movable, and, uh, unreal, and real. But it's, it feels like it's getting trickier when you're in- when you're engaging in this internet brain, this, like, internet collective brain. It's very h- It's, it's becoming more difficult to be discerning. There's transits in the second half of this year that really, really shift that, uh, which I'll speak to as they occur. But because the moon's in Sag, it's like where am I building a, a belief? What am- A, a belief, or what am I applying meaning to? Or what do I have faith in that- actually isn't mine actual- actually wasn't of my own construction, or is something that I don't have any lived wisdom in, but I'm taking on this information and the, uh The words of this charismatic person, whoever it is, you know, or whatever the movement is, and I'm going like, "Yeah, yeah. That. It's that." But you've not actually been into that place and had a little swim there. And this makes me think of where Jupiter is, which is the ruler of Sagittarius, and it's in these final degrees of Cancer. It's at 23 degrees of Cancer right now. On the 30th of June, it's gonna move into Leo, which will be a brilliant transit. Um, and so but right now, and for almost the last year, the alast 11... The alast. The last 11 months, Jupiter has been churning through Cancer, and we're really able to feel where our beliefs, where our meaning, meaning-making, is nourishing us or where it is not And this full moon will illuminate Anywhere where there's like a mirage that we have, um, what's that saying? Hooked our wagon to? It's that kind of thing I just think, yeah, around this full moon and the lead up to it and, and then in the actual full moon period, which will be the beginning three days of next week is, it's a great time with Jupiter in Cancer to really be feeling into, does this nourish me or does this not? Sorry. It's my mom calling me Um, yeah. That's really all I have to say. Uh, actually, I think I've been talking for a while. Uh, but yeah. So that, that, I- that's what I wanna leave you with Living from the outside in is an anchorless experience, is really playing into the high openness and high malleability of ideas, thought, uh, perceptual programming of Gemini, which isn't really a positive. I don't know. It, it, that can have positive applications in the sense of it can really maintain a level of non-judgment and high openness. The, the less attractive qualities of that though is, in the words of a very famous Gemini, you don't wanna just go whichever way the wind blows, you know? What's, where, where's your anchor point? And that's really about living from the inside out. I'm being really conscious when I'm taking in information. I'm being really conscious when I pick up my phone to look at X, Y, Z. Um, I- it's wild how many times I, I find I have my phone in my hand, and I've gone down some other rabbit hole and have not looked up the thing that I picked up my phone to look at, as an example. So how, e- especially in this, the lead up, the week before this full moon on Sunday, how can you, uh, grow that living from the inside first? And really, I, I would say the, the first step for that is having a level of curation, protection, sacredness around your morning self Um, yeah. If you feel like you might be high in claircognizance or you feel you resonate with one of the other clairs, and I can break those down for you in a later episode if you'd like, then you'll see below the quiz that I created, which will really show you which clair you're dominant in, and give you a lot of information about that. I also have my mini intuition readings, which I do, which I love to do, which is just me and your chart, and me recording and verbalizing all of the intricate ways that your intuition specifically works. And then also giving you a lot of practical, uh, examples on how to utilize that natural ability that you have, or abilities I should say. Okay. Have a nice week. Bye.
