Talking about transformative times! The next Full Moon appears in Amsterdam on Wednesday the 30th of December at 4:28 AM, just moments away from the new year. This Full Moon is well-positioned to the planet Uranus, which often indicates positive things coming our way. From experiencing a welcome change to living more freely and intuitively. Let us have a look at this new phase of the moon!
Interesting fact! The Full Moon of December is positioned in the constellation of Gemini, although the moon is in the Sign of Cancer. This happened because, over time, the Sun Signs were moved almost an entire Sign out of alignment with the constellations that were named over 2000 years ago. Therefore, this Full Moon includes aspects of both Gemini and Cancer.
Full Moon Meaning
A Full Moon occurs when the moon is opposite the sun. These opposing forces can influence your life and lead to internal tensions such as between what you want and what your soul actually needs.
During the time of a Full Moon, our emotions and intuition reach their peak. We will be likely to feel more emotional and our intimate relationships come more into the center of our attention. This increased emotional strength can help us deal with challenges in our personal life or in relationships.
The Cold Moon
The Full Moon carries different names according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, originating from Native Americans. They used to refer to the monthly moons to track the seasons. This December Full Moon is known as the Cold Moon - suitable for the low temperatures we’re experiencing at the end of December. Another name is the Long Night Moon, also quite self-explanatory considering the nights are the longest in December.
What to expect from this full moon?
