Learn about December's Full Moon in Gemini, what it means for you, and how to celebrate it with witchcraft and moon magic.
Autumn now leaves the doors to the winter frost. The leaves have fallen and cover the cold earth like a mantle. In many places, the first snow falls. It is time to leave material things behind and hectic life to find the time to look inside yourself. After facing our shadows in the last moon, the time has come to prepare to be reborn: just before sunrise is the darkest time of the night.
The Moon is an excellent guidepost for navigating the currents of life. With the moon's wax and wane, it can help you decide when to let go or hold tightly so your journey may be successful. This December's Full Moon comes at a time when endings seem appropriate. In this period, we could go through tiring moments, difficult choices, and moments of crisis.
Don't be too unsettled, and we must not fear because this moon reminds us that, after the darkest night, the day always returns. And then we, too, will return to experience joy, happiness, and love. It is the right time to let go of the past and welcome the future with good intentions and desires.
From this moon, we must learn the strength and stability of the oak and the ability to let go of the past to welcome the future. If you can, on this day, go outdoors and take the energies of the moon on you as if they were rays of the sun when you want to get a tan at sea. In the evening, take some time for yourself, perhaps by positioning yourself near a window to admire the moon.
Light a white candle and take an object that keeps you connected to the past, a past from which the time has finally come to free yourself. It could be an object that binds you to a relationship that has now ended, but that still keeps you trapped; it could be an object of yours that reminds you of a person who you are no longer, and you have to get rid of; it could be anything, even just a feeling, that keeps you anchored to a past that you can't get rid of. In this case, write it down on a piece of paper, then burn the object, or the paper, while you visualize that, as it burns, the bond that held you back burns and disappears with it. Allowing yourself to let go, as it turns to ash. When you feel ready, blow out the candle and live your life, aware that that past does not chain you anymore!
Gemini Moon and what that means for you
The upcoming Full Moon on December 7th will fall in the astrological sign Gemini. Gemini is a social and intellectual sign ruled by Mercury. This means more communication, and with the upcoming holidays, using a logical thought process instead of getting caught up in emotions may be good for you.
Geminis engage in varied experiences, floating around like butterflies enjoying something until they don't. This time may also come with some nervous energy, along with some witty or mischievous banter. Add in Mercury retrograde, and you should have some helpful support in communication with others, which can definitely come in handy. Allow yourself to take a deep breath and slow down, as full moons are about self-reflection and release.
Lean into Gemini's airy qualities this full moon, and cultivate your curiosity or even a bit of flirtatiousness. Under this sign, you may have higher than regular mental activity, so journaling what you'd like to come to fruition for this full moon will be helpful.
