The lunation will bring extra social vibes for some.
The year may be coming to a close, but it’s not before our last lunar hurrah, courtesy of the December 2021 full moon. This lunation adorns the skies on Dec. 18, so you can expect to tap into your inner free spirit as the full moon moves into chatty Gemini. This change of pace invites us to be our candid, colloquial selves as we entertain our outlandish ideas and theories. And if you’re one of the lucky few zodiac signs who are least affected by the December 2021 full cold moon, you’ll feel encouraged to express yourself thoroughly and be inspired by your lively social life.
Full moons signal the peak of the lunar cycle, and according to astrology, they herald in impassioned emotions and high energy. Although this can mix up a bit of cosmic drama, especially in our inner circle, Geminis have a natural gift of communication, which will help the collective through some super intense situations during the full moon. And because these air signs are giving us a boost of confidence in our personal expression, the December full moon is the perfect occasion to step into our extroverted side.
The social energy arrives on the outskirts of Venus retrograde 2021, which puts a magnifying glass on our relationship needs and the sustainability of our friendships. This is sort of like a pregame for your social life moving forward, giving you the revelations you need to reflect on what your partnership values. It might do you well to reflect on how you feel, think, and behave around your friends during the full moon.
This astrological pick me up is gracing a select few with all the trappings of Gemini — curiosity, creativity, and healthy communication — so for some, this full moon will mostly feel breezy. Ready to find out if you’ll luck out? Continue on to find out if you’re one of the lucky zodiac signs who are least affected by the December 2021 full cold moon.
Aries Zodiac Signs (March 21 - April 19)
Aries, this full moon is moving into your area of transportation and communication, so you’ll notice a burst of chattiness as you connect with your inner social butterfly. Revel in the extra dose of confidence by speaking your truth and taking action on the big ideas you have tucked up your sleeves.
“Looks like this full moon may bring you an opportunity to either travel for the holidays or have some good conversations with your peers before the year ends,” astrologer Aaya Badue tells Bustle. “You may also be blessed with some new ideas from this new moon, so make sure you take full advantage of that and bring those ideas into fruition.”
Leo Zodiac Signs (July 23 - Aug. 22)
The full moon is making its way to your eleventh house of friends and society, Leo, and you may feel deeply connected with your community. Take advantage of this social burst — this flicker of fun arrives just before the dramatic Venus retrograde on Dec. 19, which will add a bit of cosmic drama to your close relationships.
“It’s time to connect deeper with your friends, and this full moon will be the perfect opportunity for you to do that,” Badue says. “This can also be a time where you realize that you have completed something you’ve always wanted to accomplish or achieve in your life. Get ready to take it all in Leo, because you deserve this!”
Aquarius Zodiac Signs (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
Get ready for some play and pleasure, Aquarius, because this lunation is bringing all the creative vibes your way, encouraging you to tap into quality playtime. Fellow air sign Gemini is a positive influence on your maverick self, hyping up all of your unorthodox ideas that fit seamlessly with the theme of your fifth house of creativity and pleasure.
“December’s full moon is going to bring out your ability to reconnect with and embrace your inner child,” Badue explains. “It may also give you the opportunity to connect more with one of your children or a love interest. For you, this full moon is all about remembering your heart's desires and deepest passions in life.”
