The Full Moon Is Almost Here. Astrologers Say Two Signs Will Feel Its Effects The Most
We’re staring down a new year, and it’s only natural to think about what’s ahead.
Do you want to stick with the same job in the new year? Are you getting the most you can out of your relationship? And what can you do to feel like the best version of yourself?
What all of that can feel a little stressful, the universe is here to help make those big thoughts less intense. It’s all thanks to the Full Cold Moon in Gemini. This full moon will push you to think of all of the possibilities that can come in 2025 and beyond, but not necessarily in a serious way, according to Donna Page, a certified astrologer in Atlanta.

Naturally, it’s a lot more complicated than that.
Here’s what you can expect from the Full Cold Moon in Gemini, plus how it’ll impact your astrological sign in the future.
When is the Full Cold Moon in Gemini?
The Full Cold Moon in Gemini is happening on December 15, 2024. While you’re probably familiar with the moon’s cycles, it never hurts to go over them.
The moon goes through different phases each month and a full moon is when it looks like a big circle in the sky. This particular full moon’s name comes from a mix of Native American, Colonial American, and European sources.
No shocker here: The Full Cold Moon gets its name because it tends to happen when it’s freezing out, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. But it’s also been called the Long Night Moon, since it rises during one of the longest nights of the year.
On the astrological front, each full moon lines up with a particular zodiac sign, creating a special vibe that influences how you think and what you do.
The Full Cold Moon in Gemini will push you to dream big.
It’s hard not to think about the future when you’re standing at the edge of one year.
"This particular full moon has a strong connection to Neptune, which is all about dreams, possibilities, and the fantasy of life,” Page says. Gemini is also focused on what could be, putting a ton of speculation about 2025 on your mind.
You’ll run through a bunch of scenarios for the future in your mind. If you hunt for a new, more challenging job, will it still leave you enough time to have the personal life you want? What about if you upgrade to that apartment you’ve been lusting over—will you still be able to have the lifestyle you want? And where do you want your relationship to go from here?
At the same time, Page says this full moon “isn’t necessarily about feeling grounded.” Meaning, now is the time to dream big. Maybe you’re finally ready to launch that TikTok channel you’ve been thinking of or to take rock-climbing lessons, just because it’s always slightly terrified you. Nothing is off limits here.
At the same time, Venus is in Aquarius, which is all about friendships. You’ll have plenty of QT time with your inner circle, making it a great time to bounce all of those new ideas off of them.
Finally, Mercury leaves retrograde around this time and goes direct, making it a great time to buy meaningful gifts for people. “These are unlikely to be returned,” Page adds.
The full moon will impact all zodiac signs, but Page says that Gemini and Sagittarius will feel it the most.
The full moon will propel you forward.
The Full Cold Moon in Gemini is all about the future. You’ll have deep thoughts and big dreams now that will help you set plans in motion for where you want to be in a few months and even a year from now.
Take the time to think it all through, and allow yourself to think about all of the big changes you could make, if you’re up for it. In the future, you can choose to actually do something about them, or just file them away for another time—it’s ultimately up to you.
When is the next full moon?
The next full moon is on January 13, 2025, in the sign of Cancer. During this full moon, you’ll be all about spending cozy time with friends and family. For now, just let your mind wander—there’s a lot to dream about.
