Full Moon in Gemini
Twice this week I have seen the spirit of my Nan (Pansy) standing next to me. I feel her often but not often do I see her. Yesterday was not a great day. My human felt the reality of life and a few triggers opened up the floodgates of tears. I truly am feeling my personal sadness, that I will not suppress or hide, but I also have all the good and positive emotions as well.
As I am standing in the drugstore sidetracked by a sale on makeup. I was feeling this devilish (humorous innocent temptation) to buy some bright lip gloss but I kept placing it back on the self. There was a time when this gal only wore bright red lipstick, and loved makeup and hair, but I have become more natural in my appearance over the past few years as I peeled back the layers.
I could feel someone standing beside me. I could hear the voice say, “Get the bright one.” As I looked to the side there was my Nan standing there. A feeling of love surrounded me, and I felt a happiness that I have not felt in years. She was so much to me and no matter the years that have passed her legacy lives in my heart and within some of my identity.
Together, myself and the spirit of my Nan, left the store with the bright lip gloss. But once I returned home and applied the lip gloss I heard all of the harsh language within the psyche of my mind surface. It was as if I had smeared hate on my face. The lip gloss felt wrong. It did not look like the me I have created today. It reminded me so much of the woman who once was, who wore the years of life on her face. The one that I had buried so long ago. That one who was too much and made some real unhealthy choices, who was beautiful, afraid, yet so bold.
As I stood with the negative thoughts and words, I heard my Nan give me a message that helped me to understand her so much more. Her days were not always great, and she was not always happy, but her red lips were a way to spark a little joy even on the saddest of days. It brightened her up, a reminder I guess that she was still there, and that she still mattered.
I uncomfortably kept the lip gloss on and recorded my Full Moon in Gemini video with a reflection that I was not being so kind to. I had been so angry for so long at a version of myself that I buried her. But yesterday, she reappeared, as did my Nan. Nan understood my story, she knows the pain I carried and the walk of shame as she too had a story. In her messages of love she reminded me, we are simply women.
Yesterday I felt something returned to me that’s been shutdown for 24+ years.
This is the time we are in and the energy that’s moving us into a new frontier. Maybe today your experience may not be a lip gloss but you may be feeling the spark igniting you to live more aware of your own spirit and your true identity.
As we step into the last full moon of 2024 ask yourself, “What did you stop being, or believing in, that on a deeper level was important to you?”
