The Quest for the Truth

Pallas Athena (Minerva) is the daughter of Zeus, Jupiter in Roman Mythology, born from his head. Therefore, she carries her father's wisdom, and sense of justice, ethics, and natural law. She represents the critical thinking process that uses logical skills, strategy, discernment, and courage.
Conjunct the Sun in this Full Moon, Pallas Athena help us see patterns in a broader perspective, look for repeated themes, and use the small pieces of information as pieces of a wider puzzle, to find the significance of it all. She unifies our right and left brain helping us to make sense of what we learn.

Full Moon in Gemini
The Full Moon happens December 11, 2019 at 11:12 pm CDT, 5:12 UTC. Not only does it culminate the cycle started at the November New Moon in Sagittarius, but it's also the culmination of the six month Moon cycle started at the New Moon in Gemini in June. Do you recall the events in your life then? What are you learning now about them?
The Moon sheds light on new knowledge, some new piece of information we learn. Gemini is always eager to find out data, gather all the ideas it can and pile them up pell-mell. The Twins like to know things. The Moon emotionally engages us in the information quest.
With the square to Neptune in Pisces, the mind can be foggy and we may not be able to understand clearly what the information means because of the highly emotional charge. We might need to calm our emotional reaction before we can look deeper into the data, carefully, cautiously to make sense of it.
The Sun in Sagittarius, our conscious perception, is more interested in finding the truth, the real meaning, and put the data into perspective within the great scheme of things. We will be challenge to use the right brain, the higher intuitive mind to be able to discern the significance behind the words. What ideology, what philosophy, does the knowledge fit in?
The Sun also squares Neptune, so our intuition and wisdom may also be dazzled. You may be confused about who you are and the role you play in the reality of the newly learned concepts. You may have a distorted perception of your personality as well. Existential questions may come up. You may end up asking yourself, "who am I, after all?" Authority figures can be really confused, unless they are really spiritual beings.
Neptune will try to find the ultimate truth, how it applies in the context of the collective unconsciousness for the benefit of everybody. We will look for the role of the rest of the people in the new reality that has been presented.
The T-square is like a table with only three legs. In order to stabilize the table, we need to add the fourth leg. In the Zodiac, it is the Sign of Virgo, the mind's ability of critical thinking, analyzing, discernment, classification, organization of the information in compartments, etc. To be able to incorporate the new information, we will have to find some kind of balance between intuitive perception and logical thinking, by organizing the ideas in a sensible way.
However, Mercury, the ruler of the Moon is in Sagittarius. Thus, your mind, now focused on abstract ideas, has a hard time considering the details, logical analysis, or practical implementation of them. It’s like your mind is flying away from you. You may also have a hard time controlling your speech, because a horde of ideas is rushing through quickly, and you’re so amazed at the new discoveries that you’re eager to share them. You may feel the itch to learn more than one thing at the same time.
In any case, if you need to make decisions based on this information, and it's not an urgent decision, it's better to wait until these energies clear and you can have a detached perspective.
For a few days, I recommend walking barefoot, if possible, eating roots, hugging trees and your dog, all of which can bring you down to earth and to your senses. This energy will revive the confusion originated and felt the whole year with the back-and-forth three Jupiter Neptune squares. Remember? What were you confused about all year long, asking yourself ‘is this true or am I imagining it’? Maybe, this time you know the answer! People with mental imbalances can have a rough day, so just chill, and wait a few days. This too will pass!
