The final Full Moon of 2025 arrives on December 4th as a Cold Supermoon in Gemini, bringing clarity after a year of shedding and deep personal change. With Mercury newly direct and the Sun aligned with Antares, this lunation highlights truth, perspective, and the stories we’re finally ready to release. Some may feel it as gentle, others more activating, depending on what’s been avoided or processed this year. Gemini translates our inner world into language while Sagittarius widens the view, helping us understand what this year has been shaping within us.

Marking the longest night of the year, the Winter Solstice is a celebration of rebirth and the return of light. This sacred time invites introspection and renewal, honoring the cyclical nature of life and the promise of new beginnings.

Yule, rooted in ancient Germanic and Norse traditions, marks the winter solstice around December 21st, celebrating the longest night and the return of light. The festival involves symbolic customs such as the Yule log, which represents continuity and rebirth, and is honored through feasting, wassailing, and gift-giving. Evergreen trees, a Yule tradition, evolved into the modern Christmas tree, and the Yule log’s symbolism continues in the Yule log cake and festive decorations. Today, Yule remains a period of spiritual reflection and celebration, emphasizing the triumph of light over darkness.
