Full Moon in Gemini 15th December 2024



Full Moon Incoming

Okay, let’s talk about this Full Moon in Gemini. It’s not just your run-of-the-mill cosmic event—it’s got layers. Like, imagine the emotional intensity of a full moon (big feelings, maybe a little crying-in-the-shower moment) paired with Gemini’s fast-talking, overthinking energy. Oh, and just to make things juicier, Mercury—the planet that rules Gemini—decides to stop its retrograde tantrum and station direct later that same day. Basically, it’s giving “everything happening all at once,” but in a way that might actually help you make sense of the chaos. Let’s dig in.


We have a number of factors contributing to the scratchy tenor of this lunation. For one, the Full Moon occurs in the Twins, the talkers of the zodiac. What’s interesting about this Full Moon, however, is that it opposes fiery Sagittarius – also a loud, oftentimes preachy sign. Usually, the energy of a Full Moon is meant to counterbalance that of the presiding season. Think about Aries, for example. When we are in the selfish Ram, the Full Moon always transits selfless Libra. In other words, the Full Moon gives a respite from the predominant sign’s themes.


But Gemini and Sagittarius are the only pair in the Zodiac, in my humble opinion, that really don’t feel like opposites. Rather, you could make the case that they seem more like fraternal, if not identical twins. Both are mutable, quick-changing, opinionated, and vocal signs, with a bit of ADHD to them. So, rather than us getting a Full Moon this month that quiets Sadge’s tendencies, this one in Gemini might fan (with its mutable air) the Archer’s proverbial flames.


Loudmouth Sadge+motormouth Gemini=high volume frequencies.

This lunation will also be in aspect to steroidal Mars (also known as the Knife). Whenever we have Mars in the picture, we should prepare for some trouble. Mars is currently retrograde, meaning that it’s feeling all dressed up with nowhere to go. When Mars has direction, it can give us drive and courage. When it lacks direction, like it currently does, look out. A Mars retrograde with a chatty Full Moon in Gemini augurs more irritation and heat around our words.


Because Mars is retograde, we should anticipate emotions quickly flaring up, too. The Moon, of course, is our emotional pulse. With Mars and mutable Gemini impacting it, though, expect that pulse to be racing more. Our partners, friends, family, or colleagues could come across as aggravating over minor offences. Don’t charge them with felonies over mere misdemeanours and other petty crimes of the heart.


Mercury stationing direct

So, this Full Moon in Gemini with Mercury stationing direct later that same day? Honestly, it feels like when you’re halfway through an emotional spiral, and suddenly your brain clicks into gear and says, “Hey, maybe let’s unpack this with some actual words instead of just feelings.” It’s messy, but also kind of poetic.

Gemini is the sign of overthinking, over-texting, and, like, needing to explain everything. So this full moon? It’s going to shine a big, cosmic flashlight on what you’ve been dancing around—those conversations you didn’t want to have, the decisions you’ve been avoiding, even those cringey realizations about who you are when no one’s watching.


And then, as if the universe is saying, okay, enough flailing, Mercury stations direct and suddenly you can think straight again. It’s the cosmic equivalent of getting Wi-Fi back after three days of spotty service.


Here’s the catch, though: Mercury direct doesn’t erase the mess. It just gives you tools to clean it up. Those revelations you had under the full moon? You’re meant to say them, write them, or do something about them now. It’s not about perfection; it’s about showing up as your messy, chaotic, but honest self. You’re being called to speak up and move forward. Just maybe double-check your spelling before hitting send.


So, what's the advice for navigating the Gemini Full Moon?

What’s the astrological advice in all this? If, like me, you’re wanting some peace and quiet, then you’re going to have to try extra hard to find it, because voices will carry, during this noisy Gemini Full Moon. And if you’re looking for easy and breezy conversation that might be hard to come by with Mars retrograde. Sometimes you need to just accept that there is no use resisting a transit. I would suggest that you lean into the energy of this Full Moon: say what you feel, even if it’s a bit heated, but shake hands after any kerfuffles. Mars is quick to anger, Gemini quick to move on.
