Full Moon in Gemini – December 15th, 2024

Dear Soul Family,

The last full moon of the year is to grace us with its presence on December 15th, 2024, in the loveable, mutable air sign of Gemini. This luminary, also known as the Cold Moon, encourages reflection, clarity, and connection as we prepare to transition into winter. Its placement in Gemini, ruled by Mercury, sharpens our communication skills, fuels curiosity, and brings mental clarity.

Let This Full Moon Bring The Light Of Truth In The Balance Of Duality Into Your Life

Gemini is the archetype of the twins, symbolizing duality and the harmonious dance between opposites: light and dark, reason and intuition, external expression and internal understanding. This full moon invites us to explore how we communicate not only with others but with ourselves, our shadow selves, Are we being truthful? Are we balancing our intellectual pursuits with our emotional needs?

This full moon is an invitation to expand our minds, refine our communication, and embrace the multifaceted nature of existence. (The Duality of Our Existence) It provides a potent opportunity to reflect on the past months, how we connect, share ideas, and balance the dualities within us. (with This Full Moon we will be calling in and working with the Attributes of Goddess Charis and Goddess Galina: Sisters joined at birth to represent The Twins also known as Gemini, Goddess Charis’s Flute To Start the Day and Goddess Galina’s Harp To Sooth The Night, the perfect pair for this time of transition in our lives.

The Energy of Gemini Full Moon

Gemini is the sign of the twins, symbolizing duality and adaptability. Under this full moon, we may feel a heightened awareness of the polarities in our lives—logic versus emotion, work versus play, self-versus others. This awareness isn't meant to create division but to inspire harmony and integration.

This is an excellent time to gather information, express your thoughts, and engage in meaningful conversations. However, the moon’s full glow may also illuminate areas where miscommunication or scattered focus has created challenges in your waking life

Themes Surrounding The Gemini Full Moon

Communication and Expression: Use this time to speak your truth while also listening with an open heart. Journaling, letter-writing, or even heartfelt conversations can bring closure and clarity.

Curiosity and Learning: Explore new ideas, read a thought-provoking book, or engage in a stimulating dialogue. Stay open to new, diverse perspectives.

Balancing Duality: Reflect on areas in your life where polarities feel out of balance. What aspects of your life need integration or compromise?

Release Mental Clutter: Gemini’s energy can sometimes feel scattered. Use the full moon to declutter your mind by focusing on mindfulness, organizing your thoughts through meditation or lists.

Ceremony Suggestions

Here are a few ways to harness the Gemini full moon's energy:

Write It Out: Reflect on the past year’s lessons by journaling. What have you learned? What conversations or ideas have shaped your growth?

Candle Magick for Clarity: Light a light blue, yellow and white candle to symbolize clarity, focus and reestablishing peace within. Meditate on what you want to release and where you need clarity to move forward upon your personal journey in this life

Air Element Ceremony: Stand outside and feel the wind on your face or burn incense to honor Gemini’s air element. Let the air carry away outdated beliefs or lingering doubts.

Twin Visualization: Sit quietly and imagine the dual aspects of yourself (e.g., your logical and emotional sides, both your light and shadow self). See them harmonizing and working together as a team.

By leaning into its energy, we can celebrate our growth, deepen our connections, and embrace the ever-changing dance of life.

Take this opportunity to listen to the whispers of your soul, the hum of your mind, and the pulse of the universe as you integrate the wisdom this full moon brings.

Way To Work With The Gemini Full Moon Energies

Reflect on Communication Patterns

Journal about your communication habits. Are you truly listening, or are you focused on being heard? This is a great time to repair misunderstandings and nurture clarity.

Practice Mind-Heart Coherence

Bring alignment to your intellectual and emotional realms through mindfulness exercises, meditative breathing, or active listening to the sounds around you. Let your energy and curiosity flow from a place of truth and compassion.

Release Mental Clutter

Use the energy of the full moon to declutter your mind. Create a "thought dump" list of worries, unfinished projects, or unspoken truths. Burn, bury, discard the list as a symbolic release.

Celebrate Connections

Gemini thrives in social settings. Plan a gathering or share meaningful conversations with friends and family.

A moonlit walk under the Cold Moon with someone dear can also foster deeper bonds.
