FULL MOON IN GEMINI ✨🌕♊
December 15, 2024
“Once upon a December”
This full moon is brimming with inspiration, communication, and movement. It offers an opportunity to align with unfolding events, gather and share information, connect the dots, and notice possibilities that may have previously escaped your attention.
With a light-hearted and mutable vibe, this Gemini full moon encourages curiosity, humor, endless conversation, and a desire for more stimuli. However, it also brings mental overstimulation, a tendency to multitask excessively, and challenges in maintaining focus, calm, and good sleep.
As the last full moon of the year, occurring at 23°52′ Gemini at 11:01 AM Greek time, it invites you to release anything you don’t want to carry into 2025.
This lunation may feel significant if you belong to the mutable signs—Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, or Pisces—especially in the third decan and with planets or points between 20° and 26°. September’s lunar eclipse in Pisces has activated these areas and will be revisited during March’s lunar eclipse in Virgo, bringing final closures to certain chapters.
This full moon also represents the culmination of the new moon in Gemini that occurred six months ago, on June 6th. It shapes ideas and reveals outcomes of efforts and intentions set during that lunar cycle, particularly in the part of your chart ruled by Gemini.
On a collective level, this lunation highlights issues related to education, communication, media, publishing, commerce, travel, children, and pets—all domains ruled by Gemini. It also emphasizes our relationships within local communities, with siblings, relatives, and neighbors, creating the potential for decisions and significant developments in these areas.
Though the mental noise is considerable—since Mercury and Jupiter, the luminaries’ rulers, oppose each other from signs of mutual rulership—this dynamic may cause frequent changes of mind or second thoughts. However, revelations and realizations during this time will likely shift goals and steer you in a new direction.
This is an ideal moment to reassess or redefine habits, daily interactions, and the information you allow into your life. It’s also a time to reflect on your life from multiple perspectives and question whether the “story” you’ve been telling yourself aligns with your soul’s growth and journey.
Words, thoughts, beliefs, and habits shape your reality and this lunation encourages you to identify what needs to change to move to the next level!
Mercury, the ruler of this full moon, stations direct just a few hours after the event, promising a gradual return to clarity and momentum in the coming days and weeks. Despite Mars remaining retrograde until February 24th, which delays major initiatives, Mercury’s shift forward brings new insights and a better perception of reality, aiding decision-making.
Significant news or messages—both personally and collectively—may arrive, carrying transformative weight and aiding crucial decisions, especially in the house ruled by Gemini in your chart.
The mental stimulation and potential eccentricity are amplified by Mercury’s contra-parallel with Uranus and the Sun’s quincunx to Uranus and while this may increase tension and unconventional behavior, Mercury’s sextile to Venus in Aquarius fosters harmony, reconciliation, effective collaboration and communication.
The grand trine between Mercury, retrograde Mars in Leo, and the North Node in Aries can be beneficial especially for the fire and air signs of the first decan, fostering determination, enthusiasm, and confidence to communicate visions, take initiatives, and align with destiny.
However, the moonlight is refracted through Neptune’s illusory lenses as it forms a T-square with the Sun and Moon.This alignment sets a foggy and mysterious stage filled with challenges. Under Neptune’s influence, confusion, doubts, and dilemmas may arise, leading to misunderstandings, deception, or illusions.The task is to discern truth from falsehood and evaluate whether your beliefs and investments are realistic and reliable.
Under Neptune’s influence, our hopes, fears, intuitions, dreams, and nightmares all merge, clouding judgment and hindering sound decisions. However, revelations during this period will confront you with fantasies, lies, illusions, and mistakes. Therefore setting better boundaries and protecting your energy from anything that weakens you emotionally or physically is vital.
So you can choose chaos, despair, deception, and victimization or channel intuition, imagination, and empathy into creative outlets and deeper connections with others, the Source, and yourself.
Venus in Aquarius, transformed after its conjunction with Pluto and opposition to retrograde Mars in Leo, has invited us to reevaluate motivations, past choices, and the ways we express desires and assert ourselves. This planetary synergy, urging clarity in relationships and values, especially for those in the first decan of fixed signs and prompts reflection on what is genuine versus manipulative.
Despite challenges, Venus’s harmonious trine with Jupiter brings optimism and promises creative resolutions, reconnections, personal growth, and the flourishing of certain relationships.
Who said this full moon can’t be romantic? Thanks to Neptune’s presence, it can be both romantic and enchanting, with Eros striking twice!
First, Mercury stations at 7° Sagittarius, a Sabian symbol described as “Cupid knocks at the door,” suggesting the culmination or beginning of a new romantic story. Second, asteroid Eros 433 conjuncts the Sun, hinting at fateful emotional developments or an idea that can inspire and lift some to new creative heights!
Another notable backdrop is the sesquiquadrate between retrograde Jupiter and Pluto (Gemini 15° – Aquarius 0°), exact on December 13th. This aspect signifies immense faith and power capable of achieving the impossible, used for either good or ill.
Jupiter retrograde often has a unique, subjective sense of morality, and under challenging aspects, this can manifest as immorality, injustice, and abuse of power—issues likely to surface around this time, sadly even involving children. This influence calls for accountability, urging us to stand for justice, truth, and ideals at any cost, from whatever position we hold.
This full moon is ripe with revelations that may rewrite “stories” in both personal and collective realms. Its Gemini archetype, embodying duality and adaptability, offers the chance to recognize and release an illusion or falsehood we’ve clung to and write a new story, this time guided by our authentic truth. May we use this opportunity wisely!
Wishing everyone a blessed full moon!✨🎄🕊☮🌟
With love💓💓💓
