This full Moon takes place at 13 degrees 3 minutes of Gemini on 4 Dec 2025 at 23:13pm.

Aon focal, dhá focail,…/ One word, two words…

Gemini the place ruled by Mercury. The house of the twins where playful curiosity, an abundance of chat, thoughts and questions reside. Over communicating, doing things twice and a deep grá (love) for sharing information as a form of connection. This place is busy, abuzz with ideas and discussion, with little time for pause, there’s just too much to do, and share, and ideas to have all at once. Life may feel extra busy and you might wish to attempt to do more than is possible.

The Moon is ruled by a now direct Mercury at 22 degrees Scorpio approaching the opposition with a retrograde Uranus once again. Mercury in the dark Scorpionic cave an almost senseless place where one cannot see but must feel into and around. When our sense of sight is removed what remains. We must be still at first, deeply listen and feel. The impulse for action is cooled somewhat and slowed down to an understanding for the need to be strategic. No point in rushing forth if I cannot see where I am going.

An Domhain Thuas, An Domhain Thíos/The World Above, the World Below

Mercury feeling their way back to Scorpio; to retrieve something forgotten in this dark underground place. Mercury has now retrieved the item, the thought, the word and on their return shares the secret with Uranus across the divide. Uranus who is above ground retracing his steps through the landscape of Taurus. Uranus gains something to note, to remember, that will be useful when he performs his own return in early 2026 back to the place of the full Moon.

Mercury was cazimi at the new Moon in Scorpio about 2 weeks ago. The insights and ideas that we had then are now brought forward into this lunation along with the faith that the light and vision will return. So apt that this post cazimi Mercury is ruling this culmination in the Gemini place in your chart. After the return to dark the full Moon is illuminating the fruit of the Mercurial endeavour that feeds both Gemini & Virgo. How are these places in your chart changing?

This full Moon has both luminaries squaring the nodes. The Sun is at the south bending and the Moon the north. Something along the path is being released and the full Moon culmination could see a more clarified material version of the fruiting than we might usually see. Or a tangible strength of a new desire coming forth into consciousness. This may be linked to the eclipse story that we are all living across the Pisces Virgo axis in our charts. Think to the eclipse seasons we’ve had in March and September this year and those narratives may carry forth with new understanding at the time of this busy buzzy Mercurial full moon.

An Tobar Uisce /A Well of Water

Mercury is also entering into the grand trine trio of Jupiter and Saturn in the days after the full Moon. The water trines of late 2025 continue to wear down the edges of the wanderers entering the water houses of Scorpio, Cancer and Pisces. Saturn, recently turned direct, is moving towards the end degrees of Pisces to finish up his two and a half year transit. He has created boundaries where there were none and directed the oceanic Piscean seascape like no other force can. He gave us the limits of what we can endure in this house and requested that we take heed, listen and go slow. Jupiter the ruler of this Saturn is exalted in Cancer. The clear coolness of mind that Mercury, Saturn can symbolise is awash with Jupiterian width and breadth. Jupiter is preventing a narrowness of mind and providing us buoyancy to cushion against the bumps that are possible with this full Moon.

Bheith i Bhfad Róchliste / So Sharp You Could Cut Yourself

This may sound all poetic and mystical which yes of course the heavens are. There comes, however, the frustration of Mars approaching Saturn in an overcoming square. Not an aspect favoured by astrologers but my Mars/Saturn copresence in Libra sees it as quite useful. The square is the nature of Mars which can be energetic, courageous, and sharp. However the Mars fuelling this Martian aspect runs into a wall with Saturn. Saturn says no. Please remember Saturn is asking the impulse in us to think again. To pause, take a breath, and proceed with caution. Mars is in truth seeking Sagittarius. A gloriously bounding sign of the plains of Jupiter from here squaring Chronos in the watery plain of Jupiter. Saturn, cold and wet attempts to dampen Mars’ flame. As Mars is overcoming, Saturn may not be so successful. Those frustrations will likely burst forth so be prepared for repair.

As Mars is co-present with the Sun and Venus opposite this full Moon take care of your body. Hydrate, eat well and rest well. Take care handling sharp objects. Mind how your words sound, they may be a little sharper than you realise. Remember also to turn off taps or water outlets. The grand water trines in the latter part of 2025 have meant a lot of water in the atmosphere, whether by weather, emotion, or as liquid material bursting forth.
