Full Moon in Gemini Nov 2020

I’ve been looking around for information on the upcoming full moon and the energies it will bring in for everyone. Because every post was pretty sparse on information, I decided to bring it all together into one post and throw in some insights from my guides.

The general vibe I’ve been feeling the last few days is of “wanting to do my own thing” and also “letting go of old patterns”. If you saw my channeling on YouTube, you’ll notice these themes are carrying through the end of the year in a kind of phoenix rising energy. The energy itself is not exactly a burned in the fire feel but more of a swept up in a wind tunnel energy. So imagine you are in one of those wind-box-money-machine things (except it’s a tunnel with no top or bottom), and the dollar bills represent old patterns from your life. You grab the pattern, have a look and decide to let it go and the winds just sweep it away. It’s a time where you will be able to easily see and then easily let go o the patterns.

Now, as this is happening, your higher self has an opportunity to come more into your body and being. Let this happen. It will feel very weird for the ego set to be relaxing into the higher self. It’s not something we have done before, but trust the process and understand that this “new you” is the “real you”. We’re moving into a 5-D consciousness at this time and everything is going to be new.

So with the gemini full moon, what does this mean? As we know gemini is very communicative and vocal. So we will likely want to express the new truths or energy to those around us. Conversely, they will want to do the same. The point of this moment is to hold that non-judgmental space for the people around you. Recognize that what they are expressing is a momentary thought. It may even be an unraveling process. Don’t attach yourself or expectations to what they are saying. Do the same for yourself. So, to make this analogy clearer, imagine that you are looking at the clouds with a friend and you see a rabbit but they see an old lady. Both perspectives are equally valid and correct. Allow these two truths to exist side-by-side. When the wind changes, both of those truths have now been swept away and changed into something else.

Gemini also has a kind of frantic mental energy. You might be getting mentally overwhelmed with information, feeling anxious or a bit short fused. Have compassion with yourself. You can either lean into the energy and take extra time for yourself to write or express your ideas, or you can do something more grounding and be sparing with your words….essentially just feel the energy.

Regardless of how you process, I encourage you to follow your intuition and your own guidance to carry you through this evening. Let yourself be taken on a journey that may be frantic, mutable, and open-minded, you may be surprised by what you learn about yourself when you come back after the full moon and integrate the new information into your life.

The full moons are all about things coming to completion, so have a look around at your manifestation board or to do list and take a moment to celebrate the things that have come to completion in your life.

Motivation

A key ingredient to achieving your dreams is understanding how motivation works, how to get yourself motivated and what style of motivation drives you.

Motivation is the umph! we need to keep moving toward our goals and dreams. The etymology of the word means to literally to stimulate toward action, or a cause for action.

These sources of motivation can be:

1.Intrinsic – meaning you had an idea to do something like get fit, so you started a work out plan. Or you wanted to learn a foreign language, so you signed up for a course.

2. Extrinsic – meaning someone around you pressured you into doing something. An extreme form of this could be an intervention orchestrated by a friend group or family. Extrinsic motivation happens any time there’s outside pressure to change.

3. Fear-based – this happens when you’re motivated to do something because of a fear of failure. This kicks in when you’ve told someone about your goals and you’re afraid of disappointing that person. Fear-based motivation could also help you to overcome your fears. Let’s say you have a fear of flying but you want to travel. You are then motivated to overcome that fear to achieve another goal.

4. Achievement-based – this is where you are motivated to achieve a certain status, complete a task, recognition for work done, or doing certain things in life purely for the “experience points”. I tend to fall into this category and will take on challenging projects or conversations just for the experience of having completed the task.

5. Incentive-based – this is a another version of achievement-based motivation where you can incentivize yourself with smaller rewards. An example could be rewarding yourself with a new “toy” for completing a fitness goal.

6. Attitude Motivation – this is a new form of motivation I just learned about. It’s based on the idea of changing the way you see the world and your belief systems to enhance the quality of your life. I would probably associate this with refining and practicing spiritual beliefs. It can also be related to being motivated to work for a non-profit with a specific cause in an effort to change other’s ideas and beliefs.

7. Family Motivated – this is for people who are motivated to take care of their family or the people they love.

8. Creativity Motivated – applies to people who are motivated by the desire for creative expression. This may also mean that you feel you have a message or something to say that you want to get out into the world.

9. Learning/Competence Motivated – this is a desire to learn and continue to learn. This would be the motivation for a professional student. Someone who just loves learning and being in a learning environment.

10. Psychological Motivation – In this context this means being motivated to fulfill a need from Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. These would be the needs for food, shelter, and self-fulfillment.

These motivations are the driving factors behind behaviors. You can utilize different types of motivation in different situations of life to better serve you. Having an understanding of these different types and applying their uses can help you to achieve your goals.

Conversely, you can look at your behaviors and determine which type of motivation is in play that is causing that behavior. This can help you to break out of negative habits to develop a better life. An example I can think of is quitting smoking. For me smoking was a way to take a break from a situation and calm some anxiety. By learning some simple breathing techniques and applying certain phrases, I was able to learn more healthy coping mechanisms that allow me to stay more connected to others while giving myself what I need in the moment.

That’s a lot to take in and consider. Let’s break the idea of motivation down into some tips and tricks you can use to get yourself moving!
