On Sunday December 15, we have a Full Moon at 23 degrees of Gemini. Full Moons occur when the Sun and Moon are in opposite signs, so are a time when we have to make a choice or find a balance between two opposites. The Sun in Sagittarius has us focusing on the big picture, on overarching themes and big plans and goals for the coming year. The Moon in Gemini reminds us that we need to look at the details. Do the facts back up our theories? Do we have the details in place to make our big dreams real? Both Gemini and Sagittarius are geared towards learning, teaching and travel. This can be a good time to decide on what we want to learn more about in the coming year and to think of some adventures we’d like to have.

Full Moons are also a time when emotions can run high as the Moon, who rules the emotions and the subconscious is at her height. While Gemini moons tend to be more cerebral and less emotionally intense, this can be an increased time for communication and sharing ideas. One thing that may cause some complications, is that we also have Mercury retrograde ending on this day. Mercury has been retrograde in Sagittarius since November 28, and on December 15 he will station direct. After this day you may find there is more clarity and less disruptions, however on this day you may still feel the effects of the retrograde period. So there may be increased communication now, but it may be unclear and mistakes are more likely to be made.
The only major aspect this Full Moon makes is a square with Neptune in Pisces. Squares show tension, and with dreamy Neptune in watery Pisces, this adds another layer of delusion and deception to this day. Neptune can be great for fantasy, imagination and a sense of spiritual oneness, but can also lead us astray with delusions and in extremes bring up issues around addictions or mental health. Watch out for misinformation or even disinformation around this time. This Full Moon can be great for creativity and daydreaming, just don’t take your dreams for certainties now. Also beware any big promises or making deals now as not all the facts are in and you may not be seeing things clearly.
The Sabian Symbol for this Full Moon is “Children Skating on a Frozen Pond”. This imagery contains the potential for both fun and danger, which I think is apt for this lunation. Skating can be fun and a great way to enjoy the winter season, but if the ice isn’t thick enough it could lead to disaster. It’s important now to assess any risks now and not just jump into things trusting that everything will be fine. It might be, but it also might turn into a disaster. It is important now to use caution but not to be so timid that you miss out on enjoyment and fun. In short, use your head and be creative this Full Moon but don’t make any major decisions or get carried away with what may prove to be a delusion down the road.
