You are permitted to go out and party on the last full moon of the year. This one belongs to Gemini, the flirtatious, attractive social butterfly of the zodiac. While Gemini knows how to have a good time, the air sign can also keep things light even when things aren’t going well. While you may experience some of the usual full moon nervousness, you should be able to dance your way out of it.

When the Moon is in Gemini, what does it mean?
Your inner world is tuned to the vibrations of Mercury, Gemini’s ruling planet, if the Moon was parked in the sign of Gemini at the time of your birth. This means that you must talk and, in some cases, write about your sensations in order to digest them intellectually. One of your abilities is the ability to communicate with others. You were born with the ability to navigate the world through mental exchanges. You have a natural charisma that draws people from all walks of life to you. You’re curious and well-informed, and you feel compelled to sample the many various joys that life has to offer.
While having a Gemini Moon is exciting, you’ve certainly noticed that your emotions can be just as agitated as your thoughts. This is especially true when drama arises, life becomes difficult, or significant decisions must be made. You do best with your Moon in Gemini when you take the time to grasp the full range of your feelings before expressing them to others. You can utilize the Moon’s influence to balance your intellect and intuition by actually getting in touch with your own sentiments. Otherwise, you risk making major life decisions only on the basis of logic.
When is the Full Moon in Gemini?
The final Full Moon of the year 2021 occurs today, December 18th, at 8:34 p.m. PST. It is known as the “Cold Moon” and is located in the mercurial sign of Gemini. Because it is shining across from what is said to be the Galactic Center and singing holiday carols (and enjoying hot coco) with Jupiter, this Moon has a unique dazzling aura.
There is a little extra good cheer to go around with this Full Moon in Gemini, the sign of song and dance, and the Sun in the party sign of Sagittarius. Because Jupiter is also participating with this delightful Full Moon, the energy is brimming with joy! Jupiter increases everything he touches, so avoid overindulging because it will be at the top of the list if you don’t exercise some restraint. This Moon, on the other hand, is full of great spirits, which will help us get through the rest of this tumultuous year. (Who doesn’t require this?)
It’s time to get back to work the day following the fun-filled Full Moon. Venus, the planet of love, relationships, receiving, and pleasure, will be retrograde in Capricorn for the next six weeks. She only goes retrograde every 18 months, and her retrogrades are exceptionally potent since she is so close to Earth. Venus’ retrogrades bring up all of the concerns that need to be addressed in her sphere. Furthermore, this retrograde Venus is coupled with Pluto, which amplifies the energy enormously.
Let’s have a look at it: Venus’s energy in Capricorn is very realistic and grounded. She is resourceful and has the ability to manifest everything she desires. One of her most important goals is to be financially secure. When Venus retrogrades in Capricorn and conjuncts Pluto, it might reveal areas where we need to be more responsible and skilled in our resource management. (How’s it doing with that savings account?)
It can also be a period in which we notice things in our relationships that we would prefer not see. Issues that had been lurking in the shadows suddenly leap to the foreground and demand attention. Depending on how you handle it, this can make or shatter relationships that have been teetering on the edge for a time. Try letting go of your ego, listening, and acting like an adult, and Venus retrograde in Capricorn will help you take your relationships to the next level.
Enjoy the holiday Full Moon, then make a commitment to improving your performance in terms of your obligations and goals. This Venus retrograde is precisely timed so that we can end 2021 with the potential to improve our financial, pleasure, and interpersonal relationships.
What is the degree of the Gemini Full Moon in 2021?
The Moon in Gemini is in exact opposition to the Sun in Sagittarius. The Gemini-Sagittarius polarity is a mental axis that represents the “lower mind” and the “higher mind” respectively. A Gemini Moon helps us to think clearly, but a Sagittarius Moon encourages us to think broadly. Sagittarius represents the search for significance and ideas that go beyond the present moment.
Gemini is content in his or her immediate surroundings or area, whereas Sagittarius encourages us to expand our horizons. Neglecting either end of the axis will almost certainly result in disaster. A balance between the two energies is ideal, and the Full Moon encourages us to do just that.
This Full Moon is all about communicating, having a positive attitude, and having a spirit of adventure. Something has been building inside of us, and now is the time to let it out, as the cosmos’ energy justifies. We’ll find out what this means for us over the following two weeks. We can’t sit on our feelings for the time being. It is necessary for us to express them.
The Full Moon is a period of culmination and promise of completion of what began with the New Moon. It’s an emotional time, with lots of romance, fertilization, and relationships going on. In our own lives, symbolic “illumination” occurs when the Moon is full and shining in the sky. These emotions and insights, on the other hand, are emotional, since there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to let things out of our systems and express ourselves. Of course, we should proceed with caution, understanding that what is coming out of us at the moment is not particularly reasonable.
This Full Moon is broadly square Neptune and tightly in tune with Jupiter, implying that our ideals are heightened.
People born with personal planets and points at approximately 23 to 30 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) and 0 to 1 degree of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) are most affected by this phase of the Moon, which occurs at 27 degrees and 29 minutes of Gemini opposite the Sun at 27 degrees and 29 minutes of Sagittarius.
What effect does the full moon have on Gemini?
Gemini is a mutable air sign ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication. It represents social variety, connection, and innovation through thought and mental intelligence. A two-week energy doorway begins with the full moon, during which critical interactions, contracts, and discussions will take center stage. What happens during this period can feel life-changing for many of us, providing a surge of progressive energy required to set the stage for positive growth in 2022.
This planetary energy will push us to talk about money, iron out key contracts, and ponder the significance of important connections.
This Gemini full moon also falls on the eve of the Venus retrograde period in Capricorn, which will be transformative. Think back to the themes that transpired throughout 2013, as this energy was last seen eight years ago. Capricorn regulates structure, authority, realism, and tradition, whereas Venus rules relationships, riches, agreements, justice, and harmony. This planetary energy will urge us to conduct crucial discussions about the structure of finances, sort out important contracts, and delve deeply into the meaning of significant relationships in the last weeks of the year.
What’s it like to have a Gemini moon?
You may have a special ability to make others feel good with what you say, as the Moon is also concerned with nurturing. You may know precisely the perfect thing to say at just the right time to make them feel light and bright again because you know how to nurture with words. The Moon in Gemini is associated with wit and fun. You may have a natural sense of how to keep things lighthearted.
Talking around the edges of things keeps them from becoming too heavy. When the situation calls for it, you’re likely to have an amazing ability to shift the conversation to a more positive tone. You’re probably a natural at describing feelings. You may be able to categorize situations based on objective facts, but you may find it difficult to feel what is going on.
In this sense, you can try to avoid intense emotional experiences by engaging in sensible or logical discussions in which you can assess a situation, classify it, and move on. You’ll need to learn to deepen your emotional experiences through time in order to understand why particular feelings occur. Rather than distancing yourself from emotional connection, you can discover that feeling emotion and then applying reasoning to it helps you expand your social repertoire.
What effect will the full moon have on Gemini in 2021?
When there is a full moon, you can almost always expect things to get a lot more intense. Emotions are running high, tensions are building, and there’s a strong sense that things are about to change. There’s a reason, believe it or not, that everyone goes a bit crazy when the moon is full. The moon is in exact opposition to the sun at this time, setting the stage for a battle of wills. The moon, according to astrology, governs your inner world while the sun governs your outside world, which is why a full moon tends to expose some significant facts. If you’re born under one of the zodiac signs most affected by the December 2021 full moon Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces the truth may just set you free.
A full moon will rise in talkative, adaptive, and informed Gemini on Dec. 18 at 11:35 p.m. ET. A Gemini full moon is usually an interesting event, especially because Gemini is such a natural zodiac sign for an experience that is almost always distinguished by an increase in emotion. Gemini prefers to think about things rather than feel them, which might help you make sense of your situation if you’re prepared to focus on the facts. However, because your feelings don’t make sense, it may make you feel compelled to suppress them.
They don’t have to, thankfully. This full moon will accentuate and enhance whatever you’re feeling because it will form a trine with expansive Jupiter. Allow it to wash over you, even if you don’t know how to articulate it.
What is the name of the Gemini Full Moon?
We’ve reached the end of 2021, and what a year it’s been. From the recent upheaval of eclipse season, a Mercury retrograde for the books, and the present Venus Retrograde in Capricorn, it’s reasonable to say that we as a culture have been through it all. But astrology isn’t all doom and gloom, and the transits in December 2021 provide some much-needed cosmic levity. There are a few fortunate occurrences in the sky, including a lovely full moon in Gemini on December 18. Here’s everything you need to know about taking advantage of the full moon’s enchantment.
It’s the first lunation since eclipse season
Since early November, this is the first cosmically safe moment to resume your manifestation techniques. What exactly is the reason for this? We’ve just finished the eclipse season of fall 2021, which saw the end of eclipses on the variable Gemini-Sagittarius axis and the beginning of a new cycle of eclipses on the fixed Taurus-Scorpio axis. Due to their volatile character, eclipses are known to be a poor period for manifesting.
As a result, the full moon in Gemini on December 18 is totally eclipse-free, making it a perfect time to invest in daily routines that give purpose to your life, keep you embodied, and guide you to your highest values.
The full moon in Gemini is trining Jupiter
Jupiter, as a benevolent planet, is all about expansion and bestowing blessings. As Jupiter completes its final degrees in Aquarius, a trine when two planets are 120 degrees apart and operating in harmony pulls the full moon in Gemini in December into Jupiter’s good graces. As it stands, the two air signs complement each other well, and the full moon in Gemini will assist illuminate the risk worth taking, with Jupiter possibly ensuring a large payout.
Bonus: Jupiter is going to enter Pisces, which will usher in a new year of good fortune. There’s more on that here.
It’s also called the Cold Moon
The Cold Moon is a full moon that occurs in December, according to the Farmer’s Almanac. The name is quite literal: December is a frigid month in the northern hemisphere, and the full moon generally coincides with the winter solstice, which marks the end of the Sagittarius season and the beginning of winter. (That’s right, winter hasn’t officially started yet!) The full moon in Gemini in December, filled with Jupiter’s luck, inspires us to find the light in the dark, the warmth in the cold, and the connections within the muck, and the full moon in Gemini in December, imbued with Jupiter’s luck, may make it all happen.
Is Gemini a solar sign or a moon sign?
-in-eye is a Latin word that means “twins.” is the zodiac’s third astrological sign. The sun transits this sign in the tropical zodiac between May 21 and June 21. The sun transits this sign in the sidereal zodiac from roughly June 16 to July 16. The twins Castor and Pollux, often known as the Dioscuri in Greek mythology, represent Gemini. It’s a mutable, positive sign. In the Yin Yang ancient Chinese idea, Gemini is related with the Yang polarity (masculine).
In December 2021, when is the full moon?
Here’s a more in-depth, day-by-day breakdown of celestial occurrences between now and the next full Moon. Please keep in mind that the times and angles I provide are based on NASA Headquarters’ location in Washington, D.C.
December 13, 2021
Comet Leonard will appear around 2 degrees above the west-southwestern horizon as evening twilight ends (at 5:50 p.m.) on Monday, Dec. 13, 2021, and will set about 12 minutes later. This should be a nice time to look for this comet if you can get a clean view of the horizon.
December 14, 2021
As previously stated, the Geminid meteor shower is expected to peak early on Tuesday, December 14, 2021. After moonset (2:59 a.m. EST), but before the sky begins to show any signs of dawn, is the optimum time to look (6:16 a.m.). This meteor shower has the potential to produce 140 to 150 visible meteors per hour in optimal conditions.
Comet Leonard will appear about 3.5 degrees above the west-southwestern horizon as evening twilight ends (at 5:50 p.m.) on Tuesday, Dec. 14, 2021, and will set about 22 minutes later. This could be close to when the comet is at its brightest if it emits a lot of dust that causes forward scattering (like the bright light around the edge of a cloud blocking the Sun).
December 15, 2021
The planet Mercury will emerge above the west-southwestern horizon 30 minutes after sunset for the first time on Wednesday, Dec. 15, 2021. (an approximation of when it may start being visible in the glow of dusk).
As evening twilight ends (at 5:51 p.m.), Comet Leonard will appear around 4.5 degrees above the west-southwestern horizon and will set about 29 minutes later.
December 16, 2021
Comet Leonard will appear around 5.5 degrees above the southern horizon as evening twilight ends (at 5:51 p.m.) on Thursday, Dec. 16, 2021, and will set about 37 minutes later.
December 17, 2021
As evening darkness ends on Friday, December 17, 2021, comet Leonard will appear 6 degrees above the southwestern horizon and roughly 5 degrees below the brilliant planet Venus (at 5:51 p.m.). Without binoculars or a telescope, it may be difficult to view the comet by this time, although Venus may provide a brilliant guide for finding it. About 45 minutes later, the comet will set. Comet Leonard will be visible above the horizon until around Jan. 10, 2022, when evening twilight ends, decreasing weaker each evening as it advances away from the Earth toward the Sun.
At 9:16 p.m. EST on Friday, the Moon will be at apogee, its greatest distance from the Earth during this orbit.
Friday and Saturday, December 17 and 18, 2021, will be the earliest evenings of the year with a full Moon in the sky, known as the Child Moon.
December 18, 2021: The Next Full Moon
As previously stated, the next full Moon will occur on Saturday, December 18, 2021, at 11:36 p.m. EST. The Moon will be visible in the sky for a total of 15 hours 33 minutes, with 14 hours 34 minutes when the Sun is down, making Saturday evening into Sunday morning, Dec. 18 to 19, the year’s longest full Moon night. This is a full Moon weekend since the Moon will be full for three days around this period, from Friday evening to Monday morning.
December 20, 2021
The brilliant star Pollux will appear near the waning gibbous Moon on Monday night into Tuesday morning, December 20 to 21, 2021. At 6 p.m., the Moon will rise over the northeastern horizon, with Pollux rising about 10 minutes later to the lower left of the Moon. When the Moon reaches its highest point in the sky on Tuesday morning at 1:48 a.m., Pollux will appear to the upper left of the Moon, and will have shifted to the upper right of the Moon by the time morning twilight begins at 6:20 a.m.
December 21, 2021: The Winter Solstice
The Northern Hemisphere winter solstice, the astronomical end of fall and the start of winter, will occur at 10:59 a.m. EST on Tuesday, Dec. 21, 2021. This will be the shortest day of the year with the least amount of sunlight (9 hours, 26 minutes, 12.9 seconds from sunrise to sunset) and the Sun will be at its lowest point in the sky at solar noon (27.71 degrees). The year’s longest solar day (as measured on a sundial from noon to noon) will occur from noon on December 21 to noon on December 22, lasting 29.8 seconds longer than the 24-hour average we use for our clocks.
December 23 – 23, 2021
The brilliant star Regulus will appear near the waning gibbous Moon on Thursday night into Friday morning, December 23 to 24, 2021. At 9:01 p.m., the Moon will rise over the east-northeastern horizon, with Regulus rising about 23 minutes later to the lower right of the Moon. When the Moon reaches its highest point in the sky on Friday morning (at 4:13 AM), Regulus will appear to the lower right of the Moon, and will have shifted to below the Moon by the time morning twilight begins (at 6:21 AM).
December 27, 2021
The bright star Antares and the planet Mars will appear closest to each other for this apparition on Monday morning, Dec. 27, 2021, low on the southeastern horizon, 4.5 degrees apart. Antares will be on the lower right, and Mars will be to the higher left. Because Mars will be on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth, it will appear fainter than Antares. Antares’ color is similar to Mars’, hence the name “Antares” is frequently translated as “Mars’ competitor.” You should now be able to make the comparison for yourself.
As evening twilight fades on Monday, Mercury will be visible above the west-southwestern horizon for the first time.
December 28, 2021
The bright star Spica will appear about 4 degrees to the lower right of the fading crescent Moon on Tuesday morning, December 28, 2021. At 1:40 a.m. EST, the Moon will rise first, followed by Spica, which will rise above the east-southeastern horizon. As morning twilight begins at 6:22 a.m., the pair will appear around 40 degrees above the south-southeastern horizon.
The bright planets Venus and Mercury will seem closest to each other low on the west-southwestern horizon on Tuesday evening. With Mercury around 4 degrees to the lower left, bright Venus will be easier to spot. After about 30 minutes after sunset (about 5:23 p.m. EST), but before Mercury sets at 6 p.m., try looking.
December 31, 2021: New Year’s Eve
The waning crescent Moon, the brilliant star Antares, and the planet Mars will appear to create a triangle near the horizon on Friday, December 31, 2021. At 5:30 a.m. EST, Antares will rise over the southeastern horizon, with Mars to the left and the Moon above. By the time morning twilight begins at 6:23 AM, this triangle will be roughly 10 degrees above the southeastern horizon.
As evening darkness expires on New Year’s Eve, Friday, December 31, 2021, the bright planet Venus will be the last to shine above the horizon.
