This December’s full moon, the Oak Moon will be transiting the energetic sign of Gemini. When the moon transits this clever air sign it may activate feelings of restlessness and excitement. Depending on where Gemini sits in your birth chart will help in understanding which aspect of your life will be most impacted by the energy of this transit.
If you are a Gemini Sun, Moon, Rising or have prominent Gemini/Mercury placements in your birth-chart then this full moon may enhance Gemini’s innately restless, creative yet disorganized and somewhat aloof nature. For others, it may inspire risk taking but it may also breed distractions that easily scatter our energies. One way we can all find balance during this transit is through Aromatherapy.
The aromatherapy oil blend below was crafted with herbs, essential oils and crystals to encourage grounding, focus and to connect to the Heart. The resulting scent is subtle, floral with a touch of spice.
Essential Oils:
Clary Sage is an herb associated with the Moon. Its sweet yet herbaceous scent soothes heightened emotional states and opens the Heart.
Geranium is a beautiful flower whose scent is said to soothe tension and open the Heart.
Ginger is an intensely spicy scent that is said to aid focus, mental clarity and grounding.
Lavender is an herb of Gemini and its ruling planet, Mercury; its scent is said to inspire mental clarity, calm and grounding.
Herbs:
Lavender is one of the patron herbs of Gemini; it is said to aid in healing and ease anxiety.
Primrose is a grounding herb that is said to open doors to other realms; perfect for the curious sign of Gemini.
Rose is a beautiful flower that encourages love, compassion and opens the Heart.
Crystals:
Blue Lace Agate is associated with the sign of Gemini; it encourages clear communication, calm and grounding.
Clear Quartz enhances the energy of other stones and is incredibly cleansing to all chakra points.
Moonstone enhances one’s intuition and soothes emotions.
