Full Moon in Gemini: Emotional Release
The final Full Moon of 2022 in the mutable air sign of Gemini occurs at 1:08 PM EST on December 7.
This December Full Moon is also known as the Cold Moon.
Full Moons are always about an opposition between the Sun and the Moon. This time around it’s fuelled by the red, hot planet of action Mars.
The Moon in Gemini is coupled up with Mars in retrograde in this mutable air sign.
This energy can cause unwanted drama and make us feel destructed and pulled in many different directions all at once.
However, now is not a great time to get involved in a conflict or initiate a bunch of new things.
Instead, use the energy of this Full Moon to review and reflect on what has been achieved in the Gemini area of your chart thus far.
This Full Moon can also illuminate what has gone wrong on your way to achieving desirable outcome.
It can be a painful but necessary realisation.
Don’t get frustrated though about the things that went wrong. And you will be tempted!
Retrograde Mars in Gemini can make you highly irritable, argumentative, and jumpy.
Do your best to stay cool, calm, and collected.
Analyse and thoroughly examine the situation, learn from your mistakes, and move on.
Remember, at the end of the day, it’s all about the journey, not the destination.
And the good news is that the Universe is giving you some extra time to tie up the loose ends and self correct until about mid Jan 2023 when Mars finishes its retrograde cycle.
This Full Moon is here to help you understand what needs to be adjusted and worked on.
A past opportunity or a project may also re-surface around the time of this Full Moon.
Pay close attention as there is a good chance it can turn into something of value, thanks to a helping hand of pragmatic, disciplined Saturn speaking in supreme harmony with both Mars and the Moon.
Why is it called ‘the Cold Moon’?
Traditionally, names for the full and new Moons during the year were used to keep track of the seasons. According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, the moon names come from Native American, Colonial American, or other traditional North American sources passed down through generations.
The name ‘Cold Moon’ is associated with the time of the year when the weather gets colder and the nights get longer. The Cold Full Moon occurs in December, traditionally known as one of the coldest times of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
Before we dive in, be sure to check your Ascendant, Moon and Sun signs to get a full picture. When you read a horoscope for your Sun sign only, you only get a glimpse of what’s in store for your personal and professional life. Your Sun sign (related to the day you were born) might be an important component of your identity, but it’s only a small fraction of the whole story. Very often, your Ascendant (Rising sign) is the most accurate representation of you as an individual, as it rules your first house of the self and therefore has the biggest impact on your personal horoscope.
