The final full moon for 2024 is almost upon us and according to astrologers it will bring overwhelming waves of stress and introspection with it.

The ‘Cold Moon’ will rise over Sydney at 8pm on Sunday but people could already be feeling its power, intuitive astrologer Rose Smith told FEMAIL.

Ms Smith said the final full moon of the year typically offers an opportunity for reflection but because it is appearing in Gemini, on the last day of Mercury Retrograde things could feel a lot more intense.

‘Gemini is known for multi-tasking, but December’s full moon could result in scattered thinking, confusion and upheaval if you don’t allocate your time and priorities appropriately,’ Ms Smith said.

‘Our relationships, communication and internal dialogue will be put under a magnifying glass – so it’s a perfect time to check in on your emotional health with the traditionally hectic and family-oriented Christmas season upon us with emotions tending to run high.’

She said it is important to harness the power of the moon in a positive way.

‘Keep your emotions in check,’ she said.

Ms Smith, who also runs Absolute Soul Secrets, the largest psychic network in the southern hemisphere, said Gemini is a mutable air sign known for its versatility, curiosity, communication skills, creativity, intelligence and sense of humour.

‘During a Gemini full moon, there may be increased interest in events, opportunities, and relationships that encourage you to adapt to various situations and become more curious about the happenings around you,’ she said.

‘It may be a perfect time to plan a short trip and take part in spontaneous experiences and meaningful conversations with friends, strangers, and particularly family.’

Ms Smith said there would likely be real effects for all star signs during the Cold Moon, but especially for mutable signs Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.

Other air signs Libra and Aquarius will also strongly experience the moon’s force, with air sign traits of curiosity, rapid fire thinking, and inspiration in focus.

Ms Smith said full moons also represent culmination, release and manifestation in astrology.

‘December’s full moon is the last full moon before the new year, so its timing is perfect for releasing what’s happened in the past,’ she said.

‘The moon likes privacy, so it’s important to have plenty of solo time, space in your own home, and make sure you are comfortable, safe and secure.’

‘Reflect on achievements and disappointments this year, and all the lessons you have learned.’

Full moons have special names based on the environmental conditions around them during the time they occur.

In the northern hemisphere, the full moon in December is known as the Cold Moon to mark winter.

Pisces need to connect with their loved ones

‘The Summer Solstice occurs once a year when the sun’s track across the Australian sky reaches its highest point. It has the most daylight hours of any day in the year,’ she explained.

‘The Summer Solstice serves as a reminder to look inwards and focus on growth. The energy planted in the Spring can in turn reach full bloom. It’s time to find the balance between looking within and dealing with the external world.’

The full moon will reach its peak on 15th December at 8.01pm AEDT.

Here’s what the December full moon has in store for you

Aries (March 21 to April 19)

The full moon brings increased curiosity, communications and adaptability.

You could be feeling more restless than usual, however. Thanks to Jupiter you’ll also be more empathetic now and you’ll lend an ear or a shoulder for people to tell you, their problems. Just don’t go overboard here.

There’s probably more social events coming up, so you’ll be able to connect more with others. Neptune is also influencing you to be more idealistic now, so do ensure you keep both feet on the ground.

Try to be at least a little bit practical. Anything to do with writing, publishing, marketing or promotion could work well, especially as you’re more open-minded than usual. You might attend activities in your local area now and become more involved with your local community.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)

Your money supply could be on your mind now. Perhaps a financial venture will come to a head now or a new job that pays more is on the horizon?

You could become more emotional about your finances, possessions or you change your belief system about money.

A few challenges involving friends or connections is also possible now. Alternatively, your hopes and dreams get the rough end of the stick. Be patient and soon enough the vibes will change for the better.

You would probably do better to have some down time to consider everything that’s happened recently. Saturn is probably being a bit tough on you at the moment also.

The solution is to be diligent, work hard and follow a system. Saturn loves organisation, neatness and caution, so these qualities could help.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20)

Woo Hoo Jupiter is helping you out atm with good luck and extra energy.

However, do be careful not to overeat, Jupiter here next to the full moon in your sign can translate to ‘break out the bickies’!

You may become a mentor to someone who recognises your brilliance, or they’re just attracted to your shining larger than life personality.

A smooth easy flowing energy comes from Uranus in your subconscious, so surprises might spring up, but they’ll probably be pleasant ones.

Neptune in your career zone, however, isn’t as happy. It advisable now not to over idealise someone or look at the world with rose coloured glasses.

Spirituality might become a topic in career which is fine if you’re that sector. Otherwise, probably be a little careful as to what you discuss at work.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22)

The full moon in your house of the unconscious is telling you to take it a little easy now. Better still can you get some R&R?

At the very least, you need some time out to consider everything that has happened. Your subconscious brings up energy which is likely to have you feeling rather emotional.

You may have strange dreams or feelings for no apparent reason. Write everything down and see if you can find someone who will listen and discuss these feelings with you.

Your subconscious has some secret messages for you, so do try to figure out your own inner symbolic language. You could probably be empathetic with others now too, which is great, but can you be empathetic with yourself?

You can learn a lot about yourself now, so go for it!

Leo (July 23 to August 22)

You could get a lot of support now from friends, groups and connections. It’s a great time for socialising and meeting people.

You could be the belle of ball too, attracting new people into your orbit like butterflies to a flower. Just be aware that a tough aspect to Neptune concerning intimate moments or shared resources could bring a stinging bee instead of butterflies.

Best not discuss anything too personal or intimate with just anyone. However, Uranus will back you up in career matters, reputation or anything to do with authority figures including your boss, parents or someone you look up to.

You might have desires to travel, study or get more spiritually involved. But now isn’t the best time. Your North Node will be here for a while yet, there’s plenty of time later to do these things and more.

Virgo (August 23 to September 22)

Gee whiz… this is amazing for transformation in your career – it’s a triple conjunction with Jupiter, the moon and your Midheaven. This is pretty darn good for professional growth, emotional fulfilment, public recognition and optimism, all rolled up into a nice bundle of cosmic delight!

Those ‘on high’ might notice you now, or you get more attention on social media. It’s a great time to go for a promotion or a new job. However, a beautiful aspect with Venus now blesses you with her beautiful elegance.

You can be graceful and caring towards others. One little act of kindness can make a big difference in someone’s life, especially if they have no one to care.

Better than career recognition, approval or climbing professional ladders, being kind is a gift that keeps on giving forever more.

Libra (September 23 to October 22)

Libra… you need to get some excitement into your life. You could be feeling rather jaded or tired. A quick pick me up would be a short trip, preferably overseas.

You need more variety and a brand-new scene! Can’t you go? Well, make an effort! If you absolutely can’t get away, at least go some exotic place – even if it’s in your own neighbourhood.

Jupiter is giving you a push to get back your mojo in a different locality. Go to the beach, a bushwalk, the zoo but do something different.

However, Saturn is driving you now at work or regarding your daily routine.

Stop it and get out and enjoy yourself just a tad. Venus is helping you with encouragement to have warm relationships and more affection. Your creativity will also bloom if you can do this, along with having some fun.

Scorpio (October 23 to November 21)

This full moon could be triggering a lot of deeply compelling emotions. They could be in response to an intimate situation, or maybe I should say the lack of an intimate situation? Yes, it’s tough sometimes finding the right person and even when you have that person, you can still have times of loneliness and not having your deepest needs satisfied.

Alternatively, you could be feeling quite deeply about resources and assets you share with another. Real estate, investments, inheritances – all these and more could be the source of rather uncomfortable feelings.

Write them down and if you can approach the other person (if there is one) and try and talk it out together. Support and comfort can come from your home and family now. Plus, Jupiter is also helping you.

Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21)

Committed relationships and close partnerships, business or personal, could be on your mind now. Jupiter close by, does bring good luck and helps you traverse the many issues these relationships can bring.

Venus is also helping you with graceful communications and peaceful thoughts… well perhaps? But do watch that gnarly Saturn at home or with family members.

You might not see eye to eye at the moment as there is some restrictive energy slowing down your progress.

This full moon is highlighting the importance of positive thinking and communications so there’s probably a logical way of figuring things out.

Maintain your normal optimism and bring your adventurous nature into your relationships.

Capricorn (December 22nd to January 19)

Jupiter is blessing you in your daily work, routines or well-being. This is a bonus.

Extra energy points for you to use as you choose. You can get a lot done at whatever to turn your hand to on a daily basis. It’s the small things mainly, but if perchance you do have something big, this can’t hurt. You can improve your health and well-being now too – take a look at your diet, movement and do prioritise your sleep.

So, this is a pretty good vibe! The only ‘fly in the ointment’ is Saturn somewhat restricting your communications. Pay extra special attention that you don’t come across as a hard taskmaster, being overly critical or hard in your approach to others.

One more thing, money… do watch your spending now, there could be some fundamental shifts in your attitude to money coming up.

Aquarius (January 20th to February 18)

Well, it’s playtime! Your inner child needs some leisure and pleasure. It’s time to get out and socialise. Meeting some new people will help your creativity bloom too.

You could be living closer to the world of the child now, having more to do with children or even your inner child who wants to be heard.

So, give in a little bit to your own desires. The only thing is that Saturn that dictatorial hard taskmaster who enforces discipline and responsibility is there in your house of money. What a party pooper!

You’ll probably feel that inclination not to enjoy yourself, not to spend and to go back into your cave and hibernate! Find the balance between responsibility and enjoying yourself.

You can have both, just figure out a way to do that and you’ll find some happiness.

Pisces (February 19 to March 20)

Now you need close attachments by your side – home and family become particularly important to you. You need your home as a safe comfortable sanctuary away from the world.

You need your family for support and love. If you don’t have a family (not everyone does), you may need to search to find strong inner support from somewhere, friends who are like family or in your local community.

You might even find inner support from ancestors who have passed over, if you look. You could also think about and discuss ways to improve your home including redecorating or landscaping – even if it’s a balcony!

Discussions at home could be quite lively and spirited now. You can easily adapt to whatever needs to be done possibly repairing home items yourself? Do some research and have a go!
