The last full moon of the year is an impressive display; it doesn't hesitate as it sweeps into the sky, taking hold of the night. It simply goes where it wishes, sure of its own curiosity if nothing else. The Full Cold moon, also known as the Long Night moon, knows its power and its limits well, and tests them regularly. "How far can I stretch this glow?" it asks. "How much of the earth can I hold in my shadow?" On this final full moon of 2022, the moon is touched by the most expansive and flexible of all signs; Gemini. 

Gemini, the third sign in the zodiac, is represented by the Twins. Mirror images of one another, the Twins move and feel as one. Today, the Gemini full moon is urging you to let your emotional body move freely—embrace your duality and utilize it to widen your vision. Get curious about your internal world, and invite paradoxes with grace. Your mind might feel full during this lunation, and no wonder; Gemini rules the intellect. At its fullest, this Gemini will push your wit to its limits. If you find yourself overwhelmed, speak your discomfort aloud. Gemini rewards honest communication above all else. This full moon is the ideal time to work word magic in all its forms. Write a poem and tie it to a tree, read a letter of intention at your altar, or sing to your houseplants. 

Under the light of a Gemini full moon, the dual nature of things becomes readily apparent. If the abundance of opposites feels uncomfortable for you at this time, have no fear babe. Reckon with multiplicity at your own pace. Gemini is the eternal student, forever committed to broadening the mind—the Gemini full moon asks only that we begin to sit with our contradictions, not that we solve them all. There's time for all of it. Bask in whatever sparks your curiosity; the rest can wait.
