🌕 Full Moon in December 2025 — The Cold Moon in Gemini (Astronomically in Taurus)
Share
1. Introduction
The last full moon of the year — known as the Cold Moon or Long Night Moon — reaches its peak on:
4 December 2025 at 23:14 GMT
This is the final illumination before the new year, a powerful moon of closure, clarity, and spiritual alignment.
Astrological Sign vs Astronomical Constellation
At the moment of peak illumination:
- Astrologically, the Moon is in Gemini, opposite the Sun in Sagittarius.
- Astronomically, using the real star-sky background, the Moon is positioned in the constellation Taurus the Bull.
This happens because the zodiac signs (astrology) and constellations (astronomy) no longer line up perfectly due to the Earth’s axial shift over thousands of years.
Therefore:
- Gemini = energetic and symbolic influence (astrology)
- Taurus = visible star backdrop behind the Moon (astronomy)
For spiritual work, rituals, and zodiac readings, the Gemini influence is the one used.
2. Spiritual Meaning of the December Cold Moon
The Cold Moon marks the closing of the year’s cycle — a time when the long winter nights bring deep introspection and inner truth.
Symbolism of the Cold Moon

With the Moon energetically in Gemini, expect themes of:
- truth coming to light
- mental clarity and insight
