December's Full Moon in Gemini arrives on December 15th, 2024, marking the final full moon in 2024. It's known as the Cold Moon, which can seem a little odd when we're sweltering here in the Aussie summer, but this full moon name is derived from colonial American and European sources, and is named after the winter arriving in the Northern Hemisphere.

This full moon falls in Gemini, which is the twin sign (a sign of dualities). If you know a Gemini (or perhaps you are one yourself), you'll know that they like to juggle many things, including passions and hobbies. They can also talk to anyone (or sometimes, anything!), they're natural communicators who generally thrive in high energy situations - this is the energy that we'll be entering into in these last few weeks of 2024.

It's definitely an advantage to live our lives with the knowledge that we are made up of energy and that everything around us is also made of energy.....and we need to remember that our emotions are also just energy!

E-motions (energy in motion) come and go and they can also be affected by what is going on around us energetically. 

The full moon is one of those things that can greatly affect our energy/emotions as the fuller the moon, the greater the pull on the water in our body (just like the moon pulls the tides) and guess where our energy vibrations are most active? Within the water in our bodies! 

We are made up of around 60% water so there can be a lot of emotional shifts going on during the lunar phases which are of course heightened when the moon is at its fullest. Just ask teachers, nurses and doctors how their shifts go around the full moon!

And depending on what time of the year it is and where the moon is in the sky, it can have an extra layer of specific energy that we can harness and use for our benefit. 

So what's happening energetically for us this full moon?

The Full Moon in Gemini peaks at 8:01 PM on Sunday, December 15th in Sydney, Australia.

Personally I think this is an ideal time for this full moon, in two ways. Last month's full moon occurred in the morning, this one is on a Sunday... so you can set your intentions before bedtime and involve the kids. Secondly, it's ideal to be happening in Gemini around this time of year. If you have social situations, like work Christmas parties, or end of year gatherings you will find these energising rather than exhausting. Gemini will help you thrive through these high energy events.

This full moon you can ponder what you'd like to let go of, and what you'd like to begin. Gemini is big on learning, so you can take this time to consider what you want, and find that happy place as you balance between the pull from your head and your heart.

Brace for high energy

The upcoming Gemini Full Moon promises to be a vibrant and dynamic period, potentially pushing some of us beyond our comfort zones. While Taureans and Cancerians might feel a stronger urge to hibernate, this lunation calls for embracing the social whirlwind. This is a time to connect with others and seize the moment, as the festive season brings opportunities for celebration and shared experiences.

Jupiter's alignment with the Moon in Gemini could amplify our confidence, making it important to temper boldness with careful consideration. Before making significant decisions, take a moment to pause and reflect. Review contracts meticulously, double-check travel arrangements, and perhaps reconsider sending that impulsive message.

Be cautious, but not alarmed

Adding another layer of complexity, Mercury, Gemini's ruling planet, will be concluding its retrograde phase during this Full Moon. As Mercury retrogrades are notorious for communication mishaps, it's wise to proceed with caution. Avoid letting overconfidence lead to hasty choices that could bring regrets later.

In essence, this Gemini Full Moon encourages us to tap into our social selves and fully engage with the festive spirit. While navigating potential challenges, remember to savour each day and cherish the moments shared with loved ones.

This Full Moon in Gemini may bring:

• A whirlwind of social activity: Expect a busy calendar filled with parties, events, and gatherings.
• Intensified communication: Conversations will be lively and stimulating, but also prone to misunderstandings.
• Heightened curiosity: You might feel a strong urge to learn, explore new ideas, and engage in intellectual pursuits.
• Scattered energy: It may be challenging to focus on one thing at a time, leading to a sense of restlessness.
• Unexpected encounters: Chance meetings and surprising connections could bring new opportunities your way.

Tips for navigating the Gemini Full Moon:

• Embrace spontaneity: Be open to last-minute invitations and go with the flow.
• Practice active listening: Pay close attention to what others are saying to avoid miscommunications.
• Channel your mental energy: Engage in writing, brainstorming, or learning something new.
• Find grounding activities: Balance the airy Gemini energy with practices like meditation or spending time in nature.
• Connect with your playful side: Lighten up and enjoy the vibrant energy of this Full Moon.

Supporting your kids during the Gemini Full Moon:

The Gemini Full Moon is a time of fun, excitement, and lots of chatter! Here are some tips to help navigate this super social Full Moon for your kids:

• Share and Play Fair: This Full Moon is all about friends and fun, so remind your little ones to share your toys and be kind to others.
• Use Your Words: Encourage your kids to open up and talk. If they're feeling excited or overwhelmed, tell them they can talk to a grown-up about it. 
• Listen Carefully: It's easy to get distracted when everyone's talking, but try your best to listen to what your kids have to say.
• Move Your Body: This Full Moon might make your kids feel a bit wiggly! Dance, run around outside, or get them to play a fun game to burn off extra energy.
• Be Curious: Encourage your kids to ask lots of questions and explore the world around them. This is a great time to learn new things!
• Have Fun! The Gemini Full Moon is a time for laughter and joy. Encourage your kids to have fun and make some amazing memories.

 Flower Essence blends to be taking during this full moon: 

🌸 Self Love

🌸 Slow Down

🌸 Energy

🌸 Silly Season

🌸 Grounding

🌸 Focus

And enjoy any full moon rituals you might like to get up to - a magnesium bath, crystal cleansing, journal writing etc.

It can also be a great time to get some energy healings like reiki, and if you can do some yoga and meditation or just sit quietly watching a candle flame for 10 minutes. Anything that helps attune your energy body with your physical body around this full moon energy will be extremely beneficial. 

Make sure you are gentle with yourself and others right now and reap the benefits of working with the energy within you and around you...

Don't forget to:

• Charge your crystals under the moonlight to amplify their energy.
• Spend time in nature to connect with the earth and the lunar energy.
• Journal your thoughts and feelings to gain clarity and insight.
• Practice gratitude for all the good in your life.

Happy Full Moon! ✨
