Full Moons are a time for releasing and relinquishing. If you have an excess in your life—emotional clutter, overcommitments, toxic attachments—this is the cosmic cue to drain it out. Whether through silent meditation, honest conversations, or grounding spiritual rituals, Full Moons offer us a ritual checkpoint to let go.
December’s Full Moon in Gemini marks a key turning point, astrologically hinting that it’s time to take control of your own evolution. Following Western astrology, these new and full Moon guides are monthly reminders to reset, reflect, and recommit to your path. Your horoscope is less of a prediction and more of a sacred prompt for self-inquiry.
On December 4, 2025 at 6:13 p.m. ET, we’re experiencing the very last full moon of the year, and she is not entering quietly. This lunation is known both as the Full Cold Moon and a Super Full Moon, which means the energy is amplified, intimate, and impossible to ignore.
The name “Cold Moon” comes from Indigenous North American traditions describing the point in winter when the temperature truly drops and clarity sharpens in the cold air. And because this moon is occurring at perigee—its closest point to Earth—we get a Super Full Moon, one that appears larger, brighter, and more emotionally charged. So needless to say that this super full moon in Gemini is illuminating exactly what makes us come alive—this is the kind of lunation that warms the mind, sparks the tongue, and activates your curiosity so intensely that you can feel the shift in body.
A huge part of this activation comes from the Sagittarius stellium forming across the sky. We have Mars, the Sun, Venus, Lilith, asteroid Pallas, and the Part of Fortune all in Sagittarius. Sagittarius is not stuck in the fear of being wrong, embarrassed, or disappointed—it is the sign most willing to risk discomfort in pursuit of expansion, and that is precisely why Sagittarius appears “lucky.” People assume Sagittarians just stumble into blessings, but realistically, they get blessed because they are willing to take repeated risks in pursuit of something bigger. The universe responds to motion—and this full moon is rewarding those lucky few who move.
But meaningful risk isn’t the same as recklessness; progress requires a culture of safety. Clear communication, solid organization, multiple perspectives, and long-haul thinking are what allow risk to become takeoff instead of crash. This full moon carries that same lesson: move boldly, but move with awareness. Courage and preparation can coexist.
With the Full Cold Moon unfolding in Gemini, there is a real emphasis on walking your talk. If you’ve been saying you’re going to launch something, change something, begin something, or stop something, this Super Full Moon arrives like, “Okay, but are you actually doing it?” This energy isn’t for the manifestor who endlessly plans; it’s for the manifestor who is willing to experiment. Gemini brings the curiosity; Sagittarius brings the audacity, and together they form the kind of energy that produces breakthroughs simply because you were willing to try. If you’re someone who needs every variable ironed out before taking action, this moon will feel uncomfortable. But if you’re willing to leap without knowing where the ground is, you’ll find that the ground rises to meet you.
Sagittarius and Gemini don’t require perfection; they require momentum. Speak the truth you’ve been holding. Launch the thing you keep refining. Submit the application. Send the pitch. Take the first step. This lunation is a cosmic dare to stop waiting for ideal conditions and start moving toward the life that has been calling your name all year. And with this sky? The universe will meet you halfway.

Your horoscope for the Full Moon in Gemini happening on December 4 at 6:13 p.m. ET
Aries
This full moon activates your 3rd house of communication, movement, and mental stimulation, pushing you to stop circling around ideas and finally act on them. Aries doesn’t procrastinate—you just occasionally wait for the right spark, and this lunation is the match. Conversations become catalysts, and someone’s words may push you into a decision you’ve been avoiding. Don’t overthink the how; Gemini wants motion, not precision. Follow the instinct that keeps resurfacing. Siblings, neighbors, or coworkers may play unexpected roles. If you’ve been promising yourself that you’ll “start tomorrow,” the universe is asking why not today. Say the thing, pitch the idea, send the message. Momentum is your magic.
Moon Lesson: Action creates clarity—speak first, refine later.
Taurus
This full moon lands in your 2nd house of values, security, and self-worth, highlighting where you’ve been undercharging, undervaluing, or overlooking your own brilliance. Taurus loves stability, but maintaining comfort at the expense of growth is no longer an option. A financial decision may come to a head, pushing you toward a more expansive, confident version of yourself. This lunation asks you to stop waiting for external validation before making bold moves. Your voice is currency; your skills have weight. Instead of chasing “safe,” choose what feels aligned. The moment you treat yourself like someone worth investing in, the world mirrors it.
Moon Lesson: Your worth increases the moment you claim it.
Gemini
This is your full moon lighting up your 1st house of identity, presence, and self-determination, making it impossible to hide from yourself. Expect emotional clarity, sudden realizations, and a deep desire to act on instincts you’ve been suppressing. Gemini is curious, but this lunation exposes where curiosity has become avoidance. You’re shedding an old version of yourself—one who talked about change more than they embodied it. Reinvention is not only available, it’s necessary. This is a full moon that marks a before-and-after moment in your personal storyline. Don’t shrink your desires to make others comfortable. Become the version of yourself your next chapter requires.
Moon Lesson: Reinvention starts with one unapologetic choice.
Cancer
This full moon illuminates your 12th house of release, closure, and subconscious patterns, pulling long-buried feelings to the surface. Cancer often carries more emotional weight than others realize, and this lunation exposes what you’ve been silently managing. Something you’ve outgrown—emotionally, spiritually, or psychologically—needs to be released, but gently, not forcefully. This is a moon of endings that restore you, not strip you. Old narratives dissolve, intuitive clarity heightens, and dreams may offer guidance. If you’ve been avoiding rest, your body may insist on it. Let silence become your mirror. You’re clearing psychic space for something real.
Moon Lesson: Release is an act of nourishment, not loss.
Leo
The full moon activates your 11th house of networks, community, and long-term visions, revealing which connections energize you and which drain your fire. Leo thrives when surrounded by people who genuinely see and support them. Social opportunities may arise quickly, and you may feel called to take up more space in community or leadership roles. A dream you paused may begin calling you again. Take it seriously. Collaboration, visibility, and audience growth are themes. Don’t censor your ambitions—say them out loud. The universe can’t respond to dreams you keep quiet.
Moon Lesson: Your future expands when you speak it into rooms that can hold it.
Virgo
This full moon lights up your 10th house of career, visibility, and legacy, bringing a moment of clarity about your professional direction. Virgo often overprepares, but this lunation highlights where that tendency is slowing your momentum. A pivot, promotion, or public moment may unfold. You don’t need to be perfect to be seen; you just need to show up. Release the pressure to execute flawlessly. The world is watching because you’re ready—not because you’re done growing. Trust the timing. The version of you that hid behind preparation is dissolving.
Moon Lesson: Progress is louder than perfection.
Libra
This full moon activates your 9th house of expansion, travel, belief systems, and self-trust, pushing you past the limits of your comfort zone. Libra loves balance, but true growth disrupts equilibrium. Something—an idea, experience, or person—is asking you to be braver than you’ve been in a long time. Education, writing, or spiritual realizations may arrive suddenly. If you’ve been living small to keep the peace, this moon interrupts the pattern. Your worldview wants to grow. Let it.
Moon Lesson: Your next chapter begins when you stop negotiating with your potential.
Scorpio
This full moon lands in your 8th house of intimacy, shared resources, and emotional truth, lighting up the spaces where vulnerability and control collide. Scorpio feels deeply, but often privately—this lunation reveals what you’ve been holding. A financial shift, emotional conversation, or hidden truth may surface. This is not destruction; it’s liberation. You’re shedding fears that kept you small. Let yourself be witnessed in your depth. Intimacy strengthens when you stop managing the narrative.
Moon Lesson: Vulnerability is your rebirth, not your weakness.
Sagittarius
This full moon activates your 7th house of partnership, agreements, and relational clarity, landing right as a stellium lights up your sign. You’re magnetic right now, but magnetism brings choice: Who can meet you where you are, and who can’t? A relationship may reach a turning point through honesty, confrontation, or spontaneous truth-telling. Don’t fear the shift—alignment is a gift. This lunation asks you to choose connections that support your growth, not your stagnation.
Moon Lesson: Choose the partnerships that honor your evolution.
Capricorn
The full moon illuminates your 6th house of routines, wellness, and daily structure, exposing what no longer supports your long-term goals. Capricorn excels at endurance, but this lunation highlights where endurance has become self-neglect. Something in your daily rhythm needs to shift—your boundaries, workload, or habits. Don’t push through; recalibrate. Small, meaningful adjustments create ripple effects. You don’t need a complete overhaul—just intentional refinement.
Moon Lesson: Sustainability is built through sacred maintenance, not burnout.
Aquarius
This full moon activates your 5th house of creativity, romance, pleasure, and self-expression, inviting you to reconnect with the spark you’ve quieted. Aquarius intellectualizes emotions, but this lunation asks you to feel—in your body, your art, your joy. A romantic connection or passion project may intensify, surprising you with its emotional pull. Say yes to what lights you up. Play is productive. Pleasure is a compass.
Moon Lesson: Joy is a strategy, not a distraction.
Pisces
This full moon lights up your 4th house of home, foundations, and emotional security, revealing what you need to feel truly supported. Pisces often absorbs the emotional climate around them, but this lunation directs you inward. A family matter or home-related shift may bring clarity you’ve been avoiding. Prioritize yourself. Choose environments—physical or relational—that feel stable, warm, and grounding. Your inner world shapes your outer world.
Moon Lesson: Your peace is the foundation for everything else.
