Perhaps it is this last Super Full Moon of 2025 that will help finally bring the completion and closure we have been looking for. Continued at end of newsletter. -------------------------------------- Saturday December 6 Hybrid Church SERVICE at UUFSB @ 10:30 AM Our hybrid church service starts at 10:30 AM. 10:30 AM: Get to know us/Zoom chat room opens. 10:45 AM: Worship Service begins.

Photo copyright © by Valerie Miller. -------------------------------------- Thursday December 4 Zoom Super Full Moon in Gemini The December Full Moon falls in the sign of Gemini, which is ruled by the twins. The twins represent both the mortal and immortal components of our being. We have a very mortal physical body that is here for a set amount of time, but we also have an immortal soul that carries on to infinity (and probably beyond). We have to nurture both sides of these “twins,” and that is something we can do with greater ease under the Gemini Full Moon. Where do we need to lean into spirit more? Where do we need to lean into our earthly existence a little more? The December Full Moon Aligns with the Antares Star Gate The Gemini Full Moon also happens to be conjunct Antares, one of the four royal stars. Antares is a star known as the heart of the scorpion. If we were to draw a line from the bow of our Sagittarius Archer, it would point straight to Antares. Antares, the heart of the Scorpion, symbolizes love, passion, and purpose. It guides us to follow our heart’s desire and to lean into the love that we are. Use this energy to think about your passions and purpose. Use it to aim your arrow in a direction of your choosing. Perhaps there is something your heart longs to achieve? This is your chance to take aim. On deeper levels, Antares is also believed to be the resting place of souls after they leave their earthly bodies. It is in the realm of Antares that our soul is reunited with the love that we are created from; it is in the realm of Antares that we can recognize the love we received, gave, and where forgiveness is needed. We can channel some of this beautiful Antares energy under the Full Moon by surrounding ourselves with self-love, celebrating those we love, and also leaning into forgiveness. Where do we need to forgive ourselves or others in order to reach a deeper level of healing and openness? Where do we find ourselves closed off and afraid to shine, and how can we soften these barriers and allow our true selves to step forward? These are big questions, but you can start small under this powerful star gate, and use the energies to lift your heart, cleanse your soul, and welcome a deeper and more purposeful place to live from. https://foreverconscious.com/intuitive-astrology-gemini-super-full-moon-december-2025 -------------------------------------- In peace and harmony, Valerie Miller SCOL Secretary Comments are closed.
