December's Full Moon in tropical Gemini reflects both an expansion and challenge to perception. Gemini, ruled by Mercury (who stations direct alongside this Full Moon), is a sign of ideas, their communication, and a logical construction of reality. In Sagittarius, the Sun and stationing Mercury reflect the counterpoint of faith in or desire for the higher truth, which will likely dominate the moment.

Neptune (and Saturn) square the Full Moon can represent overcoming deceptive or confusing obstacles for a more holistic integration of opposing perspectives and points of view. Yet also, they suggest allowing mystery and uncertainty to exist, accepting we can't always believe everything as it presents itself nor rationally explain away every mystery in the world.

The Saturn-Neptune conjunction, coming into focus now but most prominantely next year and early 2026, symbolically reflects a lot of things, from a period of collective disillusionment and awakening about structures of power (and their affiliated authorities), global populist unrest, to a challenge to build and work toward a more authentic worldview and ideal of various societal structures. A dramatic challenge and expansion of reality is another major theme of the next few years, happening on a global scale.

This Full Moon can challenge us collectively with glimpses of those dimensions of reality and society we don't yet fully grasp or comprehend, as well as a coming together (into greater focus) of perception or truth we may have been working toward on a more personal level. Paradox and confusion are inevitable manifestations, but so is a broadening curiosity and excitement about what is emerging on the perceptual horizon.
