New / Full Moons: New 30th Dec in Capricorn Full 13th Jan in Cancer New 29th Jan in Aquarius
As the final full moon of the year rises in Gemini, it culminates in the end of a cycle that begins way back at the beginning of June. Full Moons are a moment for release and celebration. They mark a point in the cycle of life to let go. This Full Moon illuminates our lives with questions, conversations, and revelations. Gemini, ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, is a sign deeply associated with ideas, learning, and the power of words. This Full Moon invites us to review the stories we tell ourselves and others, to reconsider the narratives shaping our choices, and to open ourselves to fresh perspectives as we prepare for the new year.
A Full Moon always brings a culmination or turning point. In Gemini, and with its ruler Mercury ending its retrograde period on this day too, this energy encourages us to seek clarity in our connections and to find resolution in areas where misunderstandings or miscommunications have created friction. It's a moment to ask: Are we speaking our truths? Are we truly listening to others? How open are our hearts and minds? How kind?
Gemini's duality reminds us that not every question has a straightforward answer. The interplay of opposing ideas, viewpoints, and options may feel chaotic, but it's also fertile ground for creativity and growth. The energy of this lunation is a reminder of the power of curiosity. When we are curious about what can be, we open ourselves up to opportunity and to positive outcomes. When we allow ourselves the freedom we need to change our minds and free ourselves from rigid thinking, we allow our hearts to be open to explore alternatives, and let go of limiting beliefs about how things 'ought to be'.
For the Moon to shine full in Gemini, the Sun must illuminate it from Sagittarius, the sign of higher learning, generosity and adventure. Big hearts, kind gestures, and a focus on what truly matters infuse this, the season of giving, with fiery warmth and good humour. Where Gemini seeks immediate answers and logical solutions, Sagittarius yearns for the bigger picture and optimistically supports us to find a reason to laugh together. Together, they challenge us to bridge the gap between logic and intuition, facts and faith.
In the chart for this Full Moon, Saturn, the planet of limitations, and structure, commands a T Square from Pisces. Full Moons represents the culmination of cycles. Saturn takes on a supportive role here and guides us to see where we now need to let go. Endings do not always have to be painful - they are necessary for new beginnings. Closure can come when we finish up what has run its course consciously, and with compassion for any resulting grief as we process what has been and release ourselves from being held to the past.
Neptune offers a parallel message through its position in the sky. Another T Square, connecting to Jupiter, and the Sagittarian Sun makes it clear that any endings, dissolving of what has been or letting go is necessary for our dreams to flourish. Jupiter is in Gemini, just a few degrees from the Moon. Together these planets are motivating us with a message of hope and blessing us with good luck.
Whether we're seeking clarity in relationships, resolving practical matters, or planning the year ahead, this lunar phase highlights the power of communication as a tool for transformation. Conversations started under this Full Moon could lead to breakthroughs. It encourages us to remain open, honest, and willing to hear what others have to say.
