As the year prepares to close, Mahina rises full and brilliant at 13° of Gemini, casting her crystalline light across Earth’s quieting body. This December Full Moon is traditionally known as the Cold Moon (Native American) or Long Night Moon (Anglo-Saxon) —marking the turning of the season in the Northern Hemisphere, where the nights stretch long and the world softens into stillness.

Under this luminous mirror, we stand at a cosmic crossroads—a potent moment where patterns loosen, truth surfaces, and your soul’s path becomes unmistakably clear. The Gemini Moon invites you to release what feels heavy or outdated, and to walk toward what feels spacious, alive, and aligned with your evolving purpose.

✨ What This Moon Brings

Clarity Rising

Gemini’s airy magic stirs insights, ideas, and revelations. Under this Full Moon, the mind awakens—but so does the deeper knowing beneath it. Old narratives lose their grip as new clarity emerges.

Soul-Led Choices, Not Obligations

This lunation loosens the threads of over-responsibility, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. It invites you into decisions rooted not in duty, but in authenticity. Let the path that feels light and true guide your next steps.

A Sacred Pause Before Renewal

The Cold Moon carries the wisdom of winter: slow down, breathe deeply, and listen. Clarity thrives in stillness. Space invites insight. Your inner compass sharpens when you honor rest and presence.

A Space of Completion & Emergence

This is a moment to ask:
What am I ready to release?
What truth am I finally willing to honor?
What desire is ready to be claimed for the new year?

Let the answers rise gently.

🌍 For Our Beloveds in the Southern Hemisphere

If summer is unfolding around you, this Full Moon lights a different—but equally sacred—path.

Here, the Gemini Moon:
✨ amplifies inspiration
✨ energizes intentions
✨ strengthens creative fire
✨ encourages outward expansion

Where the North turns inward,
you rise outward—into vitality, movement, and radiant possibility.

But no matter where you stand on the Earth,
the Moon speaks the same truth:
Illumination is illumination.
Alignment is alignment.
Your soul knows the way.

🌿 How to Walk With This Moon

• Breathe into softness. Let your inner world become a sanctuary for truth.
  
  
• Journal, reflect, or sit in ceremony. Invite clarity to reveal itself.
  
  
• Choose what nourishes you. Let soul-truth be your guide.
  
  
• Honor the rhythm of your land. Rest or rise, according to your season.
  
  
• Set gentle intentions for the new cycle. Plant seeds of grace, purpose, and possibility.
  
  

🌕 A Blessing Under the Cold Moon

May this Gemini Moon sweep the cobwebs from your mind
and open the gateways of your heart.

May it reveal what’s true,
release what’s heavy,
and illuminate the road ahead.

As one year bows and another begins to shimmer on the horizon,
may this Cold Moon guide you toward deeper alignment,
greater freedom,
and the luminous unfolding of your soul.

With love and starlight,
Heather & Donny
