Or how flexibility saves the game!

On December 8th, at 4.07 am GMT, the Moon at 16° of Gemini will sit opposite the Sun at 16°Sagittarius thus creating a Full Moon in Gemini. This lunation is not the easiest one as the Moon is exactly conjunct Mars retrograde in Gemini: frustration and impatience could show up in situations and provoke chaotic conversations! With Mercury, the ruler of Gemini being in Capricorn, the keywords in any form of communication are observation, listening, analysis and calm. When we experience erratic planetary alignments, remember to bite your tongue before you speak, it’ll save the day (and possibly your life too!).

What is this all about?

This Full Moon puts an emphasis on communication, information, wit, higher mind, learning, details and of course duality and having a kaleidoscopic view of life. A thoughtful and considerate approach to all matters is essential as impatient and repressed Mars is burning inside and ready to be unleashed through violent words and thoughts. You may look (with a fresh pair of eyes) at a project or an idea that you had put aside or even abandoned. La luna might even make you reconsider something and give it another chance. The energy of mutable signs is strong and this is an invitation to be adaptable, flexible and less fixated on what and how situations, people and discussions should be. On the bright side, this Full Moon could very much bring some odd clarity about the changes you need to implement to build the future you want.

With that in mind, here are the horoscopes for each zodiac sign. You can read for your Sun, Moon and Ascendant signs. They will give you a more complete picture of what is in store for you!

• Aries: All forms of communication are highlighted for you with this lunation. Whether it’s a text, an email, a conversation at work or even a TikTok you want to record, please be mindful and choose your words carefully. They are very powerful now and may make or break deals and relationships. If you need a change of scenery, avoid crowded places and busy streets and be careful while driving, quiet is all you need! On a positive note, you might receive messages or calls that will help you move on from a toxic or draining situation. Keep an open mind and don’t rush to reply!

• Taurus: Your self-worth along with the value and time you give yourself are under the spotlight with the Gemini Full Moon. You might want to reassess some boundaries, reconsider the way you communicate about yourself and start embodying the person you really want to be. It all starts in the head before it becomes a habit… and this Moon can help you limit negative self-talk and get things going. Beware of impulsive spending, this won’t soothe you after an argument or a difficult conversation. If you’re too opinionated at work, this may backfire so take it easy and try to see situations through various lenses.

• Gemini: This is your time to do what you do best Gemini: blending light with shadow, playing with nuances, stretching your thoughts and calming any problematic matter with your diplomatic tongue. You might feel exhausted from an overthinking mind and be tempted to turn into a careless and detached creature. Rest is especially important for you now as it will bring clarity and ideas about the changes you want to see in your life. This Moon in your sign is asking you to balance the twins out in order to find peace despite the chaos surrounding you. When you master your mind, you master your life and this is absolutely true for you now. Pause before you speak and read carefully before signing anything.

• Cancer: What is happening behind the scenes of your subconscious may appear clearly with this lunation. Secrets, hidden truths and coping mecanisms that you had put under the carpet are likely to pop up through your dreams and interactions with the world. And it might feel uncomfortable or even scary. Don’t be afraid and trust your ability to be flowing like the river, this is not happening to you but for you. Change will be positive as deep psychological blocks are being highlighted so you can remove them. You are gathering essential information, the work you’re doing now will bear fruits later. Also, you may experience some spiritual awakening, stay hydrated!

• Leo: La luna is shining her light on your tribe, your friends, your dreams and wishes for the future. A new piece of insight might make you change plans or reconsider an old dream. Please take your time to think clearly and creatively about this wish as it may carry the seed of a bright future. Timelines have changed and so have you, what seemed impossible before is totally attainable now. If a project or a future plan includes people, be thoughtful when you communicate with them and don’t make promises you may break later. If you’re building an audience, diplomacy and open-mindedness are your strongest tools!

• Virgo: We can never control the way people see us, right? However, we can control what we say and how we say it. And this is exactly what you might have to think about with this Full Moon. You may have been frustrated in your career, you may have experienced delays for a promotion or recognition. If this is the case, anger might be all piled up in your stomach right now and it’s probably very disturbing. It is time you communicate your needs clearly but also kindly: it will be heard and situations will change for the better. Bonus: you’ll be the pragmatic and mature one and it suits you wonderfully. If you have to sign a contract or an agreement, read it thoroughly and ask if you need more information.

• Libra: The Full Moon is shining bright on your higher purpose, higher education, life philosophy and beliefs. You might feel the urge to communicate about how you envision your future, your goals and to state what matters are significant in your life. You may reconsider an idea, a project or even a place that you once thought uninteresting. Whatever you you want to write or talk about, do it in a beautiful Libra fashion: with balance and poise. You won’t regret it. Some insight could be found in a book or a conversation with a teacher or someone older, let it settle and don’t dismiss it! If a specific culture is appealing to you, there’s a reason, dig deeper!

• Scorpio: This lunation isn’t the easiest one for you but it will help you move on in some way. You probably experienced deep emotional turnmoil with the eclipses in your sign and this Full Moon is closing this circle. It’s highlighting your shared resources, your intimacy and the way your psyche works. In other words, heavy stuff. Some conversations will be important, especially about finances (yours and your partner/family…) but remember to be careful with your words: you can’t unsay things. If you’ve been through trouble connecting to your own intimate self, you will find useful information and practices that may soothe you. You can expect some blocks to be removed but it requires mindful communication and the ability to be flexible in the way you approach any conversation.

• Sagittarius: It’s all about partnerships, contracts and also legal matters for you. Whether a situation has been unfair for too long or a partnership feels out of balance, it’s time to address it. However, your usual style of communicating won’t do. No flames and no targets please! If you can infuse a good dose of considerate energy into your daily exchanges (chit-chat, texts, emails, long talks) you will not only gather interesting info but also make your point in a healthy way. Don’t forget the bigger picture and choose your battles and your words wisely. This Full Moon is asking you to listen and take into account what people have to say, it’s ok to change your mind or behaviour towards someone or something. Act with calm and grace, it’s for you, not for them.

• Capricorn: La luna hits your daily life, work routine, colleagues and physical health sector. Work load, work schedule and even colleagues may have been on your nerves for the last few months and now it’s reaching a climax. You are likely to have conversations at work about practices or behaviours you can’t take anymore. It might have impacted your daily life, sleep pattern and stamina. You may want to say it in a very straightforward manner but please don’t sabotage your efforts and all the hard work you’ve been doing. Keep your goals in mind and try to approach situations from a higher perspective, it will help. Take plenty of rest if it’s necessary (no excuse needed) and spend time with your pets if you have some, it’s a bullet proof remedy for stress and anxiety. By the end of December, everything will feel smoother.

• Aquarius: What is it that you want to express creatively? How can you communicate with more fun and ease? This Full Moon is highlighting your hobbies, your romance and passion and the way you have fun. Is there anything new that you want to try? If it’s the case, communicate about it, do some research and let things unravel beautifully for you. Don’t rush though, or you may experience frustration for having started too fast. If you are in love, this is the perfect timing to say it with carefully chosen words: now more than ever, your voice has the power to uplift the souls, heal the minds and tame the wildest hearts! News, significant messages or information could reach you through technology (and especially social media and group chats).

• Pisces: Your home (physical and emotional), your roots and ancestry and the relationships you have with important maternal or female figures are all under the spotlight with this Full Moon. You could feel the need to communicate and ask questions about your lineage, family tree, ancestors and so on. Information will come to you, however it may be in an unorganised or even chaotic way. If there are difficulties and obstacles in the heart of your home, it is a good time to address them with benevolence and care. Some people from your close family, especially females, could react quite strongly and even push your buttons: hold your tongue and refrain yourself from saying things you may regret later. Complicated situations will improve by the end of the year, hang on!

Because even the smallest of words can be the ones to hurt you or save you.
