Full Moon in Gemini, December 15, 2024

All Full Moons call us to reflect on our personal journeys.  A December Full Moon offers us an opportunity to look back over the past year and evaluate our growth, our challenges, and our accomplishments. This end of year Full Moon reminds us to celebrate as we let go of outgrown emotions, worn out old stories, and limiting beliefs that once held us back. 

This Full Moon in Gemini prompts us to give thought to our feelings and how we may want to express them. The Moon asks us to consider our emotions. Can we name what we are feeling? How are emotions affecting others? Are our emotions running us or are we allowing time to integrate our thinking before we act? It is a powerful time for inner and outer dialogue.  Gemini calls us  to examine our intellectual landscape: Are our thoughts serving our highest good, or are they clouded by overanalysis or scattered focus? How do we think, speak, listen, and connect with others? It’s a time to be curious about our inner world and the world around us and to find clarity.

Gemini thrives on learning and communication of all types. It is a time to listen closely to others so that we may learn to understand them, their perspectives, their truth, and their wisdom. We are challenged to communicate effectively and authentically what we have learned. This Full Moon urges us to speak and think with intention, recognizing that what we communicate to ourselves and others shapes our reality.

Two weeks ago, the New Moon on December 1st was in Sagittarius. It gave us the energy to think big and aim high, set intentions that align with our personal growth, broaden our horizons, and explore new opportunities.  This Full Moon in Gemini invites us to integrate these expansive ideals and wisdom  with practical information. 

In addition, we are supported in our efforts to find harmony between our intellects and our emotions, actions and reflections, and facts and intuition while recognizing that balance is essential to our wholeness.  Gemini reminds us to remain open to change and be flexible in our thinking.  

It is time to embrace the flow of new insights.

Influences From Other Planets

The aspects formed during this Full Moon will influence its energy and provide additional layers of spiritual insight. 

Neptune

Neptune challenges us to tune into our intuition and discern truth from illusion, especially in matters of communication and belief. Spiritually, this is a reminder to trust our inner knowing rather than relying solely on external information.

 Mercury

On December 15th, Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, ends its retrograde phase and turns direct. This shift enhances clarity in thought and communication. This is an opportunity to process and heal past misunderstandings and to  initiate new dialogues. Mercury Direct’s clarity also supports our integration of knowledge and wisdom.

Jupiter

Jupiter magnifies the need to expand our understanding and seek deeper truths. This alignment highlights how the knowledge we gather and share can lead to personal development and spiritual wisdom.  This is a call to speak our truths, share our insights, and inspire others with our ideas. 

Jupiter in Gemini with the Full Moon emphasizes growth through exploration. This could manifest as a heightened desire to learn, connect, and share. Spiritually, this is a time to trust that our curiosity and desire for understanding can lead to a greater sense of personal meaning and purpose.

Saturn

Saturn’s restrictive nature may cause us to struggle to find the right words in our interactions and we would do well to pay close attention to how we choose them and deliver them.  Our desire for understanding will help to guide us. Saturn also challenges us to take responsibility for our own thoughts, emotions, and beliefs and how they influence our behavior. It is time to seek perspective on our inner worlds and be witnesses to the way our minds and hearts work. Our intuition will support us. Clarity will follow and the right words will come to us.

The Full Moon in Gemini is a time to thoughtfully examine our emotions and articulate them clearly.
