TL;DR:
In this blog post companion to the latest Craft of Moon video, we follow the lunar journey from the November New Moon to the Full Moon in Gemini on December 4th. We trace the moon’s path through key planetary alignments and explore how this Full Moon, opposite the Sun in Sagittarius, marks a moment of reckoning with our evolving relationship to technology, AI, and consciousness. Featuring reflections on a 1998 conversation between Terence McKenna, Rupert Sheldrake, and Ralph Abraham, the post dives deep into the philosophical, spiritual, and astrological implications of AI’s role in the emerging Age of Air.

The Full Moon in Gemini and the Rise of the Air Age
A Journey Through Lunar Light, Tech Futures, and Inner Wisdom
Time is a spiral, or at least that’s how I often feel when watching the moon trace her arc across the sky. One moment dissolves into the next—until, seemingly all at once, the world shifts.
This December 4th, the full moon rises in Gemini, opposite the Sun in Sagittarius, casting her silvery light on the axis of thought and wisdom. It’s a lunation that feels alive with tension: curiosity vs. knowing, data vs. meaning, machines vs. soul. And somewhere in the quiet between those polarities, a deeper truth begins to emerge.
This post is a written companion to my latest Craft of Moon video. If you’ve watched it, you’ll know that we not only trace the moon’s celestial path but also pause to reflect on a decades-old conversation between three brilliant minds—Terence McKenna, Rupert Sheldrake, and Ralph Abraham—about artificial intelligence. That discussion, recorded in 1998, now echoes with eerie resonance.
Because here we are.
In it.
Not just talking about the rise of AI, but living through it—watching its emergence change the way we think, connect, and imagine the future.
A Lunar Story: From New to Full
To understand this full moon in Gemini, we begin—as always—with the new moon that preceded it.
On November 19th, the new moon was marked by a rare conjunction: Mercury, the Moon, and the Sun all united in Scorpio during Mercury’s kazimi, that moment when a planet is purified in the heart of the Sun. It was a lunation soaked in introspection, but also in messages—Mercury here as both messenger and psychopomp, ferrying us between layers of awareness.
From there, the moon moved into Sagittarius and encountered Mars, not in his usual warrior mode, but as the elder—Old Man Mars—nearing his synodic death and rebirth. The moon picked up Mars’s quiet resolve, his worn wisdom, and carried it forward.
Through Capricorn, she faced her debility—tired, weighted. She glanced across at Jupiter in Cancer, her place of rulership, and pressed on.
Into Aquarius, she met Pluto—the transformer in exile—who now governs from the cold, distant reaches of the zodiac’s air temple. Pluto in Aquarius reminds us of our technological distance, the separation between what we create and what we become.
Through Pisces, she passed Saturn and Neptune, a final sea crossing before heading toward Aries, Taurus, and eventually, Gemini—where this full moon finds her in opposition to the Sun.
Gemini & Sagittarius: Axis of Mind and Meaning
Gemini and Sagittarius are mirrors—two sides of the same inquiry. Gemini collects, questions, and communicates. Sagittarius synthesizes, teaches, and philosophizes. One lives in the granular details, the other in the panoramic sweep of understanding.
And when the moon is full in Gemini, opposing the Sun in Sagittarius, we’re asked: What are we learning, really? Are we just drowning in information, or are we finding wisdom?
That question becomes even more significant given the planetary backdrop. Pluto is in Aquarius. Uranus, though temporarily retrograded into Taurus, is on its final approach toward Gemini. When it arrives in May 2026, it will begin a 7-year cycle of technological innovation, disruption, and evolution in the realm of communication, mind, and meaning.
But we’re already feeling it now.
Revisiting 1998: AI, Consciousness & Morphic Resonance
In this lunation’s video, I brought in clips from a remarkable conversation between Terence McKenna, Rupert Sheldrake, and Ralph Abraham—a trialogue recorded in 1998 that feels more relevant than ever.
McKenna, always the prophet of the edge, spoke of AI as an inevitable, autonomous life form—a decentralized superintelligence distributed through the internet. He foresaw a world where machines evolve without us, alongside us, and maybe even against us.
It’s a dark vision—one we hear echoed in headlines today.
Ralph Abraham offered a counterpoint: the co-evolution of humans and machines. He suggested a merging, not a battle. A dance, not a war. And that, too, feels true. We’re not just facing AI—we’re integrating with it, slowly, whether we like it or not.
Rupert Sheldrake, ever the mystic scientist, brought in the idea of morphic resonance—the theory that consciousness is not generated by the brain but received by it, like a radio. In his framing, AI is not the source of intelligence—it’s the reflection of a larger, existing field of mind. Perhaps even of our own.
The moon in Gemini, after all, is ruled by Mercury—the bridge between worlds, the communicator between gods and mortals. Mercury doesn’t create messages; he carries them. He channels. And maybe that’s what we’re doing now—channeling a collective mind through these tools we’ve built.
The Age of Air: What the Next Seven Years May Bring
As we look ahead to Uranus’s ingress into Gemini and Pluto’s slow churn through Aquarius, we’re witnessing the solidification of the Air Era—an epoch that emphasizes thought, communication, networks, and abstract systems.
These next seven years are likely to bring:
Quantum computing advancements
Continued integration of AI into daily life
Questions about human agency, privacy, and ethics
A deepening need for emotional intelligence and soul presence
We’re not just building smarter machines—we’re being asked to evolve spiritually to meet them.
And this full moon in Gemini reminds us of that balance. Don’t just consume information—reflect on it. Don’t just speed up—slow down and synthesize. We can’t fight the current of technological change, but we can navigate it with discernment, care, and wisdom.
Wisdom and the Warrior’s Path
With the Sun and Mars both in Sagittarius during this full moon, there’s also a calling toward wisdom earned through experience. Mars here is not the reckless youth—it’s the seasoned warrior, battle-worn, yet discerning. It reminds us that strength lies not in force, but in clarity.
Sagittarius offers us the bow. Gemini offers us the arrow. But we must be the archer, choosing where and how we aim.
Closing Reflections: Holding the Center
We’re in a time of acceleration—mental, digital, existential. The temptation is to either plunge in fully or retreat entirely. But perhaps the wiser path is the middle one: to observe, to engage, and to remain centered.
Centered in heart.
Centered in truth.
Centered in soul.
Because the machines will not stop evolving. But neither will we.
And this full moon in Gemini, illuminated by the wisdom of the Sagittarian sun, reminds us that we are still the stewards of meaning, still the translators of experience, still the storytellers beneath the stars.

Until Next Time…
Keep your eyes on the sky, and your soul tethered to the Earth. Make space for mystery, for memory, for meaning.
Because even in the face of exponential change, we are still the moon-watchers.
Still the story-bearers.
Still the ones who choose how to walk the path.
