Frolic Under the Full Cold Moon
Super Full Moon in Gemini
The Full Moon is upon us once again with a Super Full Moon in Gemini occurring today, December 4th, 2025. This is a wonderful time to pull out your journal where you set your intentions for this lunar cycle and take stock of where you are now. What do you need to complete in the next two weeks? What could you let go of?
Gemini Influence
The airy twin energy from Gemini could have you second guessing yourself right now. The ideas are flowing. You have a strong desire to be courageous, take up space, stand in your full power and yet those limiting beliefs pop into your head to create self-doubt. You might be thinking, “What if I’m too much or worse yet - not enough?”
Notice the narrative playing out in your mind right now. What is the chattering voice in your head saying to you? That voice is there to protect you and keep you safe by keeping you small.
I invite you to thank that voice for protecting you. Let it know that you are safe and there is no need to worry. Give it a hug and then lovingly ask it to take a seat. The voice of your inner authority, the one that speaks from that still deep place within is the one you will give your attention to. This sacred voice is the one that planted the seed to begin with. It is THIS voice that deserves your time and attention.
A Full Moon Wander Invitation
With your safety in mind above all else including your comfort, I invite you to bundle up if needed and spend some time gazing into the light of the full moon. Use this time to quiet the voice in your head returning to the voice within your heart.
Ask Grandmother Moon for guidance. What wisdom does she have to share with you on this night? Reflect back on the questions you asked yourself at the start of this lunar cycle when thinking about this particular full moon. What comes up now?
Here are the full moon prompts as a reminder:
Is there something new you are curious to explore?
Have you dismissed any of your dreams as silly or unrealistic, yet they keep coming back to tap you on the shoulder?
Where might you need a little extra courage in your life right now?
Have you fully embraced your calling? If not, what is holding you back?
Spend a few moments with your journal reflecting on these questions and the intention you set at the start of this Cold Moon lunar cycle. As the full moon wanes back into darkness think about what you have yet to complete with regard to your intention. How do you feel now as you reflect once more on those journal prompts? Does anything new come up for you?

The Cold Moon
On Thursday, November 20, 2025, we enter into a new moon. During this time, the moon is positioned between the earth and the sun making it invisible to the naked eye. The new moon signifies a new lunar month and is the perfect time to pause for self-reflection.
Full Moon Ceremony & Ritual
The full moon is a wonderful time to engage in ceremony and ritual. There are lots of practices around the full moon. Trust your inner authority as you create your own ceremony. There is no right or wrong way to engage with the full moon. There is simply your way. Your presence and openness are all that is needed to honor Grandmother Moon.
What does your full moon practice look like? Do you have one? Leave a comment and let us know.
My full moon practice involves prayer, symbolism and simply making time to be with Grandmother Moon in gratitude for all that I have and all that I am. I enjoy charging objects that are special to me under the full moon light. Each one represents an element. I hold each object, call in the element associated with it, and speak a blessing. In doing so I’m not only blessing the object but also sending love and gratitude out into the world as well. I also fill a fancy glass with water, speak blessings into it and let the full moon work her magic on it overnight. In the morning, I drink the water to take in the blessing, offer some to a plant friend and some to my animal friends. Blessings multiply when shared.
A Full Moon Blessing
As you work with this full moon, I offer you this blessing. May it be so. Folic on!
On this December night,
when the moon rises in her fullness,
we pause beneath her silver light.
As winter deepens,
may we find warmth in our inner fire.
As the outer world grows still,
may we also find inner peace.
Grandmother Moon, bless our steps upon the earth,
bless our breath within our body,
bless our dreams as they take root.
May our steps be grounded in reverence for the divine in all beings,
may our words be comfort to those in need,
and may our hearts be full of gratitude for all that is and all that is yet to come.
May it be so.
