What Astrologers Want You To Know About The Final Full Moon Of 2021

Seasonal socializing gets a double dose of curious, convivial energy thanks to the arrival of the annual full moon in Gemini.

Traditional mingling may still be limited this year. But in mobile-friendly Gemini, we'll find creative ways to connect from remote locations. Hometown happenings are Gemini's domain, making it easy to find your fix within a short distance. That's more incentive to support area businesses and shop local for items on your holiday shopping list. 

The 2021 Gemini full moon arrives at a potent angle (a 120-degree trine) to benevolent Jupiter in Aquarius, the sign of the humanitarian. So if everyone you know is downsizing, this is all the more reason to donate to a neighborhood nonprofit in their names.

When you actively take in what another person is articulating, you create a space for sharing. That's especially important with the December 2021 Gemini full moon since one day later, harmonizing Venus turns retrograde for six weeks, ratcheting up relationship tension.

How you listen matters too. You can be a clear channel or one that's cluttered with judgment. (May we suggest the former?) For example: "I already know what they're gonna say, so why don't I finish their sentence?" is not a practice of active listening. Challenge yourself to pause for a (slightly uncomfortable) amount of time before responding. For all you know, the best line may still be coming. 

Gemini's twinning powers encourage us to mirror back what someone is trying to articulate. After you've listened actively, take it one step further. Repeat their words back to them to confirm that you're on the same page. Not in an awkward parroting way, but in the "What I think I hear you saying is [insert the summary of their communication here]. Is that right?" Maybe they'll correct you a little, or maybe they'll just thank you. But it's incredibly validating to feel like someone really "gets" it.

Two is everyone's magic number at this synergistic full moon! Collaborate with someone whose skills complement your own. Since Gemini knows how to pass the baton, follow this choreography: Step up. Step back. Repeat. This dynamic duo energy is especially helpful if you've been struggling to get a project off the ground. Perhaps the missing link in the chain is someone you've known for a while. Full moons are the manifesting moment for new moons, which always occur half a year earlier. Where are those helpful, in-the-know people who've been buzzing around for the past six months? Find them and talk about making your informal connection an official tag team.

Heads up: This flirty full moon can be titillating, but Gemini's energy is generally more platonic than romantic. That's not to say that love can't spring forth from the friend zone…hey, you never know! A kismet connection could spark with someone you've interacted with daily but never thought about that way before. This might even be a co-worker, bandmate, or even a partner on an important project. Just avoid the "act first, ask questions later" impulsivity that are classic Gemini and full moon behavior—especially if blurring lines could bring future drama. Single? Revamp your dating app profiles to reveal as much about your extracurricular interests as your long-term life plans.

Have you ever waited for someone to properly say "I'm sorry"…only to find yourself holding out forever? And if you did get some kind of half-baked apology, the experience felt hollow. Well, here's a technique we've tried before, which can help you gain some resolution. Put pen to paper. Relax. Imagine yourself as the person who hurt/betrayed/upset you—and write yourself a letter, as if it's from the offending party. 

Quirky Gemini is the sign of the alter ego. As it turns out, twinning doesn't necessarily require another person. We are layered, multidimensional beings unto ourselves. When you look within, there's always more "self" to discover.

Transportation is Gemini's domain. Ready to upgrade your commuter style? The perfect car, bike, or mobile accessory could be revealed after months of obsessive research. Are you driving around in a gas guzzler when you could be biking or taking public transportation? Could you shrink your carbon footprint with an electric or hybrid vehicle? 

Master marketer Gemini is a wiz with words and knows how to package profundity into clever, catchy copy. The 2021 Gemini full moon is an excellent day to do a little "brand review," making sure your visuals, colors, text, and materials express a cohesive message—and one that reflects the spirit of whatever it is you do.

Even if you don't own a company, you can still clarify your mission and message at this full moon. Examine the statement you make in the world through every visual presentation of yourself (website, social media, speaking style, etc.). Packaging yourself powerfully is vital to professional success in the digital age.
