What some other astrologers have to say...
Taking a look at what my favorite astrologers have to say about this full Moon:

• Lisa Dale Miller at Astrowisdom.com

  The Full Moon in Gemini is supposed to be a time of freely speaking one's mind; but watch out, with overblown Jupiter conjunct ever-intense Pluto in Sagittarius and blunt Mercury in Scorpio, putting one's foot in one's mouth may be hard to avoid. On the other hand, these planets will create a tidal wave of humanitarian feelings right on schedule for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Remember, when diversity (Gemini) and communality (Sagittarius), meet revelation (Uranus in Pisces), generosity (Jupiter) and transformative thinking (Mercury in Scorpio), great things (Sun) can happen to transform (Pluto) a bleak and disconnected world (Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius).

  The grand square of Sun/Moon/Saturn/Nodal Axis along with Mercury in Scorpio and Jupiter/Pluto in Sagittarius will challenge us to look fear straight in the eye and play with the possibility of changing our fixed ideas about how everything we think we believe is true. Think… meaning questioning the validity of our thoughts as truth; believe... meaning allowing the free-flowing energy of the Moon in Gemini to loosen our attachment to codified, dogmatic truths.

  The Gemini Full Moon features the stressful opposition between the Sagittarius Sun and the Gemini Moon. It is a culmination point, when information comes to light. However, do not trust the news during this lunation. Gemini's ruling planet, Mercury, is in Scorpio in an exact (partile) square to Neptune. Mercury-Neptune is the aspect of deception and lies, confusion and delusion. Poetic language may be nothing more than a veil covering over the ugly truth. And with Mercury in Scorpio, how can the information that's been exhumed be anything but dark and dirty? The gossip pages will likely offer "suggested" evidence regarding a celebutante's or politician's sexual proclivities, accompanied by the Neptunian spin of his or her publicist, denying the facts without actually stating that nothing happened.

• Jeff Jawer at starIQ.com in his New Moon Report:

  This normally bright and breezy Sun-Moon opposition sprinkles ideas and information across a wide landscape. Now stern Saturn squares both luminaries to diminish the potential for brilliance. Exciting conversations and concepts can be sidetracked by mundane responsibilities and practical limitations. When it comes to ideas, only the strong survive because there's less tolerance for random theories. Avoid an information overload or talking when listening is really the key to connecting.

My take...
   On the full Moon

There are many squares in this chart -- 11 total -- and a grand cross involving Sun, Moon, North Node and Saturn in mutable signs. And there is a grand trine between Mercury, Mars and Uranus in water.

Here is a definition of a square from Astrology.com

The essence of a square is friction. Things happen, and they're no small matter. The energy surrounding a square is forceful, intense and power-laden. It's effect on the individual will be to spur them to action, to cause decisions to be made. The risk to the individual influenced by a square is to ignore this Aspect's unmistakable energy. This Aspect will not be managed effectively until its force field and message are addressed. To illustrate the point, an individual with their Sun square Mercury might be expected to have difficulty when speaking. The lesson of this square will be to do the work necessary in order to speak more effectively.

Regarding the grand cross -- because it involves the full Moon, it's a given that emotion and willpower will be at odds. "A lack of will to fulfill the social rituals needed to maintain your relationships; not caring about the quality of your life with others; feelings that your friends do not seriously take you into their confidence" are the more negative notes of this Sun/Moon aspect according to Michael Munkasey (Midpoints: Unleashing the Power of the Planets, 1991). Square this is the delinquency of Saturn in Virgo and confusion due to the North Node in Pisces. The Node/Pisces relationship indicates a tendency to retreat from others when you really need their counsel and advice; and to avoid confrontation.

   On the full Moon as it relates to the U.S. natal chart

This grand cross connects closest with the U.S. natal chart by means of an exact square between transiting Saturn in the 10th house and the US's natal Uranus on the cusp of the eighth. Because it is a grand cross the transiting Sun/Moon are opposite/conjunct Uranus, as well. Also the transiting Sun/Moon are square the natal Moon, but out-of-sign (not both in mutable signs, but mutable to fixed).

The Sun transiting the US's first house indicates that this is a time for individuals to let go of all that is worn out and superficial and to bring what thay can across into their personal lives. New information may emerge that catches the nation's whole attention.

The Moon transiting the seventh house relates to relationships and legal matters. The public may feel blocked or frustrated emotionally by current legal policies or by living conditions in general. It may feel like some avenues of support have been cut off or blocked. Arguments of an emotional kind could be easy to find; but given the tendency to retreat from/avoid confrontation posed by the North Node, argument is unlikely. I suspect that a great deal of suppressed anger is building up.

One final note concerns the North Node exactly conjunct Pallas Athena. I've just begun to look at asteriods and find that their influence can be powerful where the sign Virgo is emphasized. Since Pallas is relatively new to the astrological pantheon, qualities ascribed to her/it vary widely. Matrix software's Astrotutor states:

Pallas - Politics and government, strategies to win approval, fight for causes, justice, defending the underdog, career orientation, efficiency, assertion, creative intellect, struggle to balance masculine and feminine issues.

Pallas in the fourth house and conjunct the North Node suggests that justice at home may be served, after all. Of course a lot depends on your vantage point.

So everyone, what broken down, unhealthy aspects of your life are you ready to release? The New Moon in Scorpio is the perfect a time to put muscle behind an intention to transform cognitive and emotional distortions, especially those that bring suffering to yourself and to others. So take a deep breath, muster up some courage, and gracefully greet this New Moon in Scorpio. This is the premier night to open your eyes to your own self-doubt, insecurities, negativities and self-delusions, and through clear comprehension, transform these negative states of mind into positive intentions for liberation, and internal and external change. Scorpio is the sign that seeks deep truth in all things.

In my part of town, the colors of the leaves are transforming from green to brilliant reds, oranges and yellows. This beautiful display suggests the illumination right before death, like an old light bulb that brightens before it goes out. When you are on the death bed, you may have a sense of clarity that previously eluded you (provided you're not on too much morphine). The urge to forgive and make amends creates an opening in the heart that makes way for a clean departure.

Jeff Jawer at stariq.com in his New Moon Report:

The intense emotional force of the Scorpio New Moon usually drives feelings deep inside to scoop up pieces of the past and re-examine them in light of current circumstances. This time, supportive trines to the Sun-Moon conjunction from active Mars and revolutionary Uranus provide powerful motivation for letting go of old wounds, uncovering hidden resources, and applying them in new and different ways. Freedom from chronic emotional pain comes by following intuition and moving forward, rather than looking back and being mired in disappointment. Mystical Neptune's square adds a spiritual dimension that increases the capacity to forgive yourself and others.

Mostly when I look at these Moon charts, my eye catches on Uranus in Pisces (or the latest position of Mars). What an uncomfortable position for Uranus -- even though there is a mutual reception with Neptune in Aquarius. A little research on Uranus in Pisces turned up a fine article by Neil Giles at astrologycom.com. In Part2 of the article Mr. Giles describes the beginnings of broadcast media:

From 1919 onwards, radio broadcasts spiralled across the world as Great Britain, the Netherlands, the US, Denmark, the Soviet Union, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and India all went to air. The commercial wireless was born and the world felt the beginnings of a hook up that would in time become a global radio network. The world could start to communicate across its own expanses. Disembodied voices could enter the living rooms of every home that could afford to make or buy a radio receiver. These voices could bring us to events we couldn't attend, or rather bring the events to us. They could excite our imagination, take us to another world, relax us, amuse us, inform and entertain us. They could also persuade us to buy. And, we didn't even have to stand up or leave home.

We, the listeners, became part of something universal (Pisces) and electrical (Uranus), a swimmer immersed in technological consciousness, part of a global network or village. This was a concept that would enter the thinking and vocabulary of later social commentators like Buckminster Fuller and Marshall McLuhan, but at the time of Uranus in Pisces, it was simply a new and unknown experience. It will be instructive for us now to see this as the inception of the global village and global economy that is the hallmark of the modern era.

We live now in a world in which every presentation and entertainment is geared to the global market, bringing us the preconditioned, prefabricated product, driven only by format and formula, devoid of originality and integrity, judged only by its appeal to the mass of global consumers. We may have cause to review the mixed benefits of the liberation and constraint of the new globalism.

Needless to say, we are presently caught up in another wireless profusion.

Returning to the more mundane and looking at the U.S. natal chart, transiting Sun/Moon - Mars - Uranus are members of a grand trine and Mars is conjunct the U.S. natal Sun. The new Moon occurs in the first house, which in a mundane figure represents --

• the body politic
• the country and its inhabitants as a whole: the people, the masses
• the prosperity and health of its people or the reverse
• the national traits and habits of the people
• the country's interior affairs
• the public consciousness and collective expression
• the psychology of the masses, their reactions and conditions
