On Sunday December 15th, at 4:01 AM ET, we welcome the final Full Moon of the year in the eloquent and adaptable sign of Gemini.

This celestial event signals a powerful time for transformation, inviting us to close chapters and release anything that no longer serves our ultimate purpose. This is the perfect time to reflect, release and renew. It’s a moment to harness the energy of completion, aligning ourselves for the new year ahead.

Taking place at 23° of Gemini, this Full Moon beckons us to tie up loose ends, acknowledging what is just not working while simultaneously, we hang our hope on that which is still possible and plausible.

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun is opposite the Moon in the sky

The Sun is in the sign of fiery, freedom loving and truth seeking, Sagittarius.

The Moon is in the opposite sign of airy, communicative, intelligent & expressive Gemini.

Sagittarius and Gemini both admire and desire freedom. Freedom of mind, freedom of expression, and freedom of heart. This is not always easy to achieve, but we most certainly can strive for it.

Full Moons are the final point of the lunar cycle. Everything culminates and is brought up to the surface.

Emotions are heightened, intuition and awareness are increased. We feel more anxious and wired, sleep disturbances are also a part of this for some.

Gemini is an air sign with much mental activity. Represented by the twins, this sign is known for its dual nature and flexibility. Gemini can be immersed in many things at once, and so we can feel a bit all over the place with this Full Moon!

Mercury is the ruling planet of Gemini and this Full Moon, and also rules over our nervous & circulatory system. If you are feeling more jumpy and more wired than normal, this is likely contributing to it. Conscious breath work, meditation and physical exercise will help.

Those with mutable planets (Gemini especially, Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces) will feel this energy the strongest. If your planets are in any of these signs and/or fall between 21-25°, even stronger. You can always pull up your free birth chart, right here.

🌟 The Dynamic Gemini Influence 🌟

Gemini, ruled by Mercury, is the sign of communication, intellect, and duality. As a mutable air sign, Gemini’s energy encourages us to be adaptable, open-minded, and curious. This Full Moon can bring a whirlwind of ideas and opportunities, inspiring us to express our true selves and connect through meaningful dialogue.

Expect a surge in social interactions and insightful conversations during this time. However, beware of feeling scattered as Neptune clouds our perceptions with its square to the Moon and Sun. This aspect might blur lines and create illusions, so it’s important to ground yourself and seek clarity. If you are feeling more scattered and lethargic, remember that Neptune can enhance this, while Mars is also retrograde. Energy levels will likely be inconsistent. Take good care of your body and your spirit, as you may require more rest at this time.

🌌 The Benevolent Presence of Jupiter 🌌

Close to our Full Moon (and very visible in the night sky) is Jupiter, the planet of expansion, growth, and good fortune. This is truly ‘when you wish upon a star’ energy! Jupiter’s proximity infuses this lunar phase with an optimistic and supportive vibe. It encourages us to adopt a broader perspective and embrace a sense of hope and joy as we prepare for new beginnings. Socializing can feel really special, as we connect more deeply with others. This is a Full Moon where our words truly hold more power, so communicate freely, but with care.
