| # 6 The Lovers, is tarot's association for Gemini. This depiction is from Ciro Marchetti's "Legacy of the divine Tarot"© |
December’s Full Cold Moon in Gemini should be called, “The Party Moon.” Sociable Gemini joins party hound Sagittarius and the wild rumpus begins. Okay, maybe not that wild, but this month’s Full Cold Moon (No need to explain that name, is there?) is everything fun, frolicking and social.
Gemini is an air sign in the
mutable (changeable) modality. This simply means that because the sign of Gemini falls at the end of a season rather than at the beginning, (cardinal) or in the middle (fixed), some of its traits shift with the changing astral and seasonal influences. Our Twins govern the third house of the Zodiac where we keep our knowledge, our habitat (neighborhood) and the relationships we don’t choose, like siblings, or neighbors. The third house, and therefore Gemini, are ruled by the planet Mercury, governor of intellect and communication. All this makes next week the optimum time to network and socialize. Your ideas will be easier to convey to others and in turn, other people will have an easier time envisioning how your concept works for their world.

Sun in Sagittarius opposes Moon in Gemini, creating this
month’s Full Cold Moon. Sagittarius and Gemini love a good party and they help us naturally gravitate to where the action is. While both of these signs enjoy the continual stimulation of new events, Gemini holds a duality that can cause its quick laughter and quicker wit to turn dark in the blink of an eye. Luckily, Sagittarius prevents The Twins from indulging in too much emotional analysis, or too many mood swings.

| #14, Temperance represents Sagittarius - from Barbara Moore and Aly Fell's "Steampunk Tarot"© |
We have Uranus in Aires turning stationary direct on the 17th as well. Stationary refers to the illusion that a planet remains in place before it appears to reverse its orbit. Prior to retrograde we have ‘stationary retrograde’ and when the planet turns direct again we have, ‘stationary direct.’ Uranus works well with Mercury’s thought process, making us ask the deeper questions (which Sagittarius likes). You can expect a couple of ‘a-ha’ moments before the end of the month. Consider it partying with a purpose.

| #10 The Wheel shows us Jupiter's generous nature in the "Steampunk Tarot"© depiction |
Jupiter, ruler of Sagittarius, continues to exert its expansive influence for the Full Moon. The Santa Claus planet goes sesquiquadrate (a rather touchy aspect of 135 degrees and quite a mouthful) with Neptune on the 17th . Although this is a lesser aspect than a trine, or sextile, it still introduces the element of dreams and wishes into the Full Moon fix. Holiday magic. Neptune is the planet of dreams and dreamers. Jupiter may drop some unexpected sugarplums in your lap this season. Just be careful not to let a mistletoe moment go to your head.
This is a fun, high-energy moon that helps us manifest the goals we set in motion at the beginning of this month. Consider December’s Full Moon a holiday gift from the Universe. Enjoy!
