The full moon in Gemini on December 15, 2024, forms a tense aspect pattern with Uranus. So, the full moon December 2024 astrology relates to imagining a better future and anticipating change, but this can cause insecurity, uncertainty and fear.
The spiritual meaning of the December 2024 full moon is to be open-minded and flexible. Becoming more self-aware and listening to your inner voice can lead to exciting new opportunities, freedom from restriction and positive change.
Full Moon December 2024 Astrology
The full moon on Sunday, December 15, 2024, is at 23°52′ Gemini. Sun quincunx Uranus is the most significant planetary aspect, marked in the chart below with the solid green line. Mercury trine Mars and Jupiter square Saturn also strongly impact this moon phase. Not shown below are several first-magnitude stars at 23° Gemini. They will be discussed later.
Full Moon in Gemini 2024
Full Moon Aspects
Sun opposite Moon brings your home, family, and intimate relationships into sharper focus for the following two weeks of this moon phase. Opposing forces, such as work versus home or what you need versus what you want, create inner tension and external pressures. This polarization can lead to conflict and crises that drain your energy.
However, heightened feelings and intuition make you more receptive and aware of relationship dynamics. Greater clarity and objectivity help you find emotional balance and security. Modifying your behavior and reactions can relieve tension and resolve relationship problems.
Sun quincunx Uranus is the most critical influence on the full moon December 2024 astrology. It signifies a karmic imbalance relating to change and freedom that requires adjustment and rebalancing. You may yearn for something new or exciting, but imagining a better future and anticipating change can bring insecurity, uncertainty and fear. You may experience instability, irritability, and a crisis of indecision. Restricting yourself to a single goal will make decision-making easier.
Unexpected events or other people may force disruptive change upon you. Stubbornly resisting change or reacting with arrogance, rebellion, or disruption will only result in a bruised ego. It could cause conflict with superiors and authorities, and you could miss a significant opportunity or damage your position and prospects. Being too daring or impulsive could mean you must start over again, and changes will be difficult to undo later.
This aspect gives the imaginative ability, creativity, originality, ingenuity, insight, and higher awareness to make things happen. Increased flexibility and open-mindedness allow you to experiment, adapt, alter and adjust. Positive change, freedom from restriction and exciting opportunities are possible. Doing something slightly different could get better results than attempting radical changes.
Moon semisextile Uranus makes you more sociable, outgoing and comfortable in public. Lowered inhibitions and mental independence allow you to express your personality’s more unique or unusual side. You will feel more open to change and may actively seek it out. Stimulating encounters, new friendships and exciting opportunities are possible.
A more acute intuition and flashes of insight can guide you in making quick decisions. Increased imagination, originality and curiosity help you find new and efficient ways of doing things, solve lingering problems, break old habits and try something new in your domestic routine or personal life.
Irritation Triangle
Irritation Triangle
An Irritation Triangle is formed by the Sun, Moon and Uranus. The high energy potential of the Sun opposite the Moon creates uneasiness and nervousness. Uranus provides an outlet for opposing pressures to resolve tension and stress. However, the green thinking aspects keep the energy constantly cycling and recharging. Constant movement and activity are needed, resulting in periods of hectic overexertion and a rigid attitude. [1]
A lack of harmonious blue aspects means no opportunity for resolution and relaxation. This can create a permanent state of tension and feeling “on the go” that overtaxes the nerves. A desperate longing (quincunx) and a permanent communication process (semisextile) manifest through Uranus. Pushing yourself too hard could lead to a breakdown or a sudden outburst of anger. This defensive behavior does not last long, though. It is over quickly and forgotten again.
The Irritation Trianlge provides flexibility and adaptation, enabling you to be evasive and compensate for the damage caused or hurt feelings quickly. Proactively using Uranus gives the awareness to continually look for new possibilities, know more, achieve something and reach goals. A pronounced philosophy of achievement and the motivation to harness your energies makes you undertake all-out efforts and constantly plan new things.
The Constellations
The star map below shows the December 15 full moon in the Constellation of Taurus, not the Sign of Gemini as in the chart above. When the Horoscope Signs were invented over 2000 years ago, they roughly matched the Constellations around the ecliptic. However, since then, the precession of the equinoxes has moved the Constellations about 30 degrees forward.
Full Moon December 2024
21° to 25° Gemini is the most densely packed zone of the zodiac for first-magnitude stars used in astrology. All stars listed below are technically within the orb of the Moon:
- 21♊18 – Gamma Orionis, Bellatrix
- 22♊12 – Alpha Aurigae, Capella
- 22♊31 – Alpha Colunba, Phact
- 22♊45 – Delta Orionis, Mintaka
- 22♊55 – Beta Tauri, El Nath
- 23♊20 – M42 Orionis, Ensis
- 23♊49 – Epsilon Orionis, Alnilam
- 23♊52 – Full Moon December 2024
- 25♊08 – Zeta Tauri, Al Hecka (Tianguan)
Of the stars listed above, Alnilam has the most significant impact on the full moon December 2024 astrology. It is a massive 1.7-magnitude star in the middle of Orion’s Belt, with an orb of 2°20′. It overpowers any influence from the 4.0-magnitude nebula Ensis, which has a magnitude of 1°20′.
The Moon is between the Horns of the Bull, El Nath (north) and Al Hecka (south). El Nath has the dominant influence of the two because it is brighter and closer in longitude and latitude.
The String of Pearls
Moon conjunct fixed star Alnilam: A splendid and illustrious life and a great, distinguished, opulent nature. [2] New and influential friends, valuable gifts, and love of respectable women. [3] The ability to gain friends as needed and good fortune in the selection of friends and associates but subject to sudden losses and reversals. [4]
Alnilam gives fleeting public honors, fame, wealth, and romantic problems. It makes people keen, studious, headstrong, rash, shameless, and deceptive. [4]
Orion’s Belt gives strength, energy, industry, organizing abilities, notoriety, good fortune, lasting happiness, a sharp mind, and a good memory. [3] It indicates those “passionately devoted to hunting, but not noble hunting with falcon or bow.” [5]
Constellation Orion gives a strong and dignified nature, self-confidence, inconsistency, arrogance, violence, impiety, and prosperity in trade, particularly by voyages or abroad, but the danger of treachery and poison. [3] Orion is the most important constellation in the heavens outside the zodiac. In judicial astrology, this is the constellation of war. [5]
The Butting One
Moon conjunct fixed star El Nath: High preferment in matters dealing with public affairs and problems caused by others. [4] Business success, quarrels with questionable associates, and a detrimental environment owing to wife, partner, or relative. [3]
El Nath gives fortune, eminence and neutrality for good or evil. [3] Honors and good luck. It makes people ambitious, obstinate, headstrong, and changeable. [4] Practical skills in war, surgery, engineering, iron and steel. A combative nature with the tongue, sometimes manually, can lead to misfortune. [6]
The Moon in Taurus Constellation gives an agreeable and gentle disposition, steady emotions, self-reliance, a love of travel, and an appreciation of art and finer things in life. It makes people conservative, ambitious, determined, persistent, loyal, practical, serene, reliable and sociable. Harsh aspects make people stubborn, too conservative, sensual and fun-loving, overly possessive, smug, conceited, grasping, jealous and possessive. [4]
Full Moon December 2024 Meaning
Sun quincunx Uranus is the primary influence on the astrology of the December 2024 full moon. Some astrologers say the quincunx is a minor aspect, and the traditionalists don’t even use it. But you would surely notice Sun quincunx Uranus with an orb of 0°14′ if it was in your chart.
Sun quincunx Uranus brings unexpected change, insecurity, uncertainty and fear. It can make you impatient and impulsive, and the Irritation Trianlge increases the risk of losing your temper. Sudden outbursts of anger manifesting at Uranus can become explosive, and impulsive change can cause chaos and be difficult to undo. Uranus, the Irritation Triangle and the fixed stars can make you headstrong, arrogant and obstinate.
So, the spiritual meaning of the December 2024 full moon is to be open-minded and flexible. Becoming more self-aware and listening to your inner voice will make you less resistant to change and less attached to material things. This will replace uncertainty, insecurity and fear with exciting new opportunities, freedom from restriction and fear, and positive change.
Moon Phases
The influence of the December 15 full moon lasts two weeks until the December 30 black moon (the second new moon of the month). Astrologically, a full moon is influenced by the preceding new moon.
The December 1 new moon activated the beginning stages of Jupiter square Saturn to initiate a spiritual crisis of confidence, doubt and uncertainty about our meaning in a world of increasing polarity, immorality, injustice and despair. Taking responsibility and meeting obligations will reduce inhibitions, guilt and fears. Positive change and achievement are possible through hard work, self-discipline, optimism and faith.

This Full Moon is really tied in to my birth chart and progressed chart too, Jamie. My Sun-Moon midpoint is at 24° Libra, and my progressed Moon is in the same degree of Gemini as the upcoming full phase! Several natal and progressed planets are also sextile or trine to the Full Moon and Sun. I’ve been watching this for several months and I’m excited but also leery about how it will affect me.
Will I fall in love, be struck by lightning, or win the Lottery?
Thanks for the post.
I really get the ‘I don’t know’ stuff at this time. And I really appreciate the ‘focusing on one thing.’. That is the steadier I really needed at this time. The mechanics of survival still central in my life, down to the raw basics.
Been thinking some about ownership lately too. It has been hitting me in the face. The whole owning people by pissing them off. And dealing with someone that has to own everything. All good things others do, or successes, are because of her. Weird to me, but that’s the way the person is. The zodiacal house system always says the house of Taurus, the second, is about values, physical, and what one owns. So looking at stars in constellations to see why Taurus sign got defined as such. Blablabla.
“The mechanics of survival still central in my life, down to the raw basics.” — saturn/pluto.
Further on Vic whom do you mean with “she” ? Greez 🙂
Do you realize how hard it is for me with raw basics at this point in time when so many are out to lunch? Is it Covid hangover or what?
I mean this is mechanical stuff, simple mechanics. We just at minimum need to do our jobs. Just focus on the job, what you signed up to do and do it. You can space out after hours. How the heck can we count on each other otherwise. And I hate to say we can’t anymore.
Procession of the Equinoxes is being explained in most of the articles posted. Most people into astrology are aware of this. But even if the person reading the article is new to astrology, it is quite easy to look this up and read about it. I find this repetition redundant.
No one knew about it 15 years ago when I started writing about it. So it is sinking in?
Sheesh. With some of these comments here today I think Jamie was bang on about the ‘irritation triangle’. Ironic no?! Cheers Jamie. I find your writing informative and appreciate the time and effort that goes into all of it.
I agree even if i don’t agree in all points haha…
I am very into astrology and hadn’t heard of it. I still don’t really understand it…. I would appreciate a book or article recommendation. It seems so complicated! I also don’t know what a progressed chart is, is it also about the procession of the equinoxes?
It must be hard to write for such a broad spectrum of people, some highly knowledgeable, others who like a colourful overview. I am a visual learner and would really like a diagram!
There is a whole cosmos of books and even different astrological schools. Make yr own experiences and be yr own researcher !
Hi Mille. Precession of the equinoxes is how the stars appear to move due to the tilt of the earth. Progression are a forecasting techinque where you move the natal chart forward from birth, one day equates to one year of life.
Thanks Jamie. What an interesting discussion on the above link… But I am so invested in my belief that my natal sun and mars are in the 4th house (placidus)… It feels like turning my head inside out to consider my life in any other way!
I get the head dilemma. It’s kinduv like Gemini in a way. Having to deal with duality everywhere. Thinking in different ways at the same time. Do you hate puzzles as much as me? I have a Virgo sun. So it is a must to fight my way out of a paper bag all the time.
Jamie there are some diagrams out there that show science wise how it works.. I had to look at them a long time to get it even though it’s not that complicated. You could probably pick the right one to share I think. Just the earth’s magnetic pole shift changing our relationship to the constellations?
Hi there, can you please explain why you keep naming these ‘full moon in Gemini’ for example, when it’s not a full moon in Gemini, it’s a full moon in Taurus, as you later state further down the page? Isn’t there already enough dishonesty or bending of the truth in this world? Why not be the change this word needs and be straight up about the reality of it from the start? Because all you’re doing is dragging the past along by continuing to say it’s a full moon in Gemini if it’s not. And you only have to look around the world to see just what kind of disasters happen when people refuse to let go of the past and insist on reliving it all over and over again. It’s high time astrologists started expanding and creating a modernised space to reflect today’s reality, rather than a repetitive ancient history. You may argue that it’s accurate to events, disregarding the power of the subconscious mind and its ability to network with other minds that all hear and believe the same thing. That’s how you set thought into motion. Neurologists claim it would only take a third of the population to believe word war 3 had started, in order to set that into motion and become real. If there’s so much evidence of this then why do people keep fabricating reality, and insisting in reliving the past? What did astrologists hope to achieve by doing that? Wasn’t it meant to be a measuring device for time and space? If you are aware of the shift in the elliptical orbit and seasons, then isn’t that enough to know the measuring device works? So why then keep reliving an outdated past that no longer exists, constantly recreating a never-ending story? Thank you for your time and consideration on these concerns. Good day.
I am gonna take a stab here at writing something that will probably be attacked in one way or another, because it can be sensitive. So I won’t go into detail of why. My take on autism is that it is not some kinduv disorder. I think it is a sign of evolving humankind from ages of interbreeding. But the autistic child still needs to survive in the world as it is so he/she has to learn it and others have to learn how to accept that as well. Ergo, we all still have to be able to communicate. The details of my thought basis is not positive. Humanity has to be the focus, whether it be felt or needs to be taught.
It’s witnessed in what is referred to as the “spectrum.”
Again just an analogy. And I know I know, evolution doesn’t exist for many. God created it all like ‘this’ and that’s the way it stays. I get it.
Sell up and go back to renting?
Or maybe able to buy elsewhere?,if it’s cheap.
Put my old dog down on the 12th(Thursday).
He was 15.
Too many memories here,including the narcisist next door,
that made my life hell for a few years.
Suffered in silence.
Obtrusive thoughts still arise in my awareness,being next door.
It’s a dilemma with the cost of living,
but perhaps my mental health comes first,
and perhaps i’m being called upon to sell the house and not own one?
I noticed a house being vacated today,2 doors down from mine.
It’s a rental and closeby,would make another fresh start easy.
Maybe that’s an omen?
I’ll ponder that for awhile and see what comes up.
But i won’t be making any rash decisions just yet.
Have though spring cleaned and downsized,
as in some sort of mental unknowing anticipation and preparedness.
Tough decision,including the one i already made to euthanise my dog,3 days ago.
HEART BROKEN.
Dogs are our beloved companions. So sorry you had to go through that 💔

My dog brought color to an otherwise colorless world.
Moving to a smaller town,everyones closed off and or
have walls built up.
I’ve never felt so alone in my whole life,
somehow,i’ve got to find color again,
without my beloved dog.
Wretched sad world we all live in.
Last message was whiny.

Touching base with grief today,be it brief.

So you are human Anthony. We knew that. I am distracted too now by physical reality. And I cannot wait to return to wholeness. They done me wrong and it has to be dealt with. My survival is being threatened. So I am feeling my animal nature. We just need to get through this.
Be empowered.
Feel empowered.
Vic,if you or anyone else for that matter is struggling with ‘ego states’ taking over and or ruminating thoughts,try this.
Count to 100,over and over,in the mind or out loud.
Could also try rubbing 2 fingers together also.
This will negate a state and help one see the intrusive thoughts.
There is no energy used when counting as there is no meaning behind a number.
True self will eventually come to the fore front and the ego back into the background.
Highly recommend making this a habit for clarity,as well as protection from invading states.

What about the applicating square between sun and neptune ? It will add confusion or more truth ?

Skat, ‘ indicates safety in a deluge, but not floods.
“Saturn in the constellation of Aquarius meant that mankind was completely dominated by this planet. While none of the named stars are of the Saturnian spectra, the house of Saturn can be expected to exert its influence throughout the constellation. ” from the Skat link.
Probably a handy discussion ‘Neptune Direct’ Jamie, given the events of the last few weeks.
You are right paul as saturn went through aquarius we had total corona dictatorship and people were caged in their houses and locked down…
That would be Saturn transit Aquarius sign klaus, but the quote is Saturn transit Aquarius constellation, which is offset 25° because of Precession, but still worth mentioning, We know Saturn in the 12th house, because we’re living it, the looting of the Artwork for instance. Makes for a difficult winter, and with hard work, etc, there’s hope and Spring.
25 degrees is a lot, eh? And the earth’s axis is tilting more due to the water problem we are having at the end of the ice age? I have read somewhere about planet water distribution affecting it.
As far as houses or constellations, if working a system helps a person to better understanding, it’s okay with me. But can see how it could be a problem with predictive astrology.
Yes Paul, will look into it.
Baba Obama: “change, change, change” You know it is only change in methods of the rulers – the old “elite” like rothschild and rockefeller now join with “youngsters” like zuckerberg, gates, thiel, omidyar etc. for the achivement of a total control through digital dictatorship. Adolph, mao and stalin would have been euphoric to have all this technology shit we have nowadays.
My comment to all that aquarian age/new age uranian shit is:
The age of aquarius doen’t belong to THEM and fcking “free” -masonery – it belogs to US !!!!
THEY have stolen it from us ! Freedom has nothing to do with “free”-masonry.
THE ONLY THING THEY want is to put us in THEIR digital cage and prison !!!
They want to install a global rulership/hierarchy pyramid. Fck them all and burn in hell you luciferian Satanists !!!
Just look for the ring poem from Lord of the Rings !! THEN you will understand !
“One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.”
Tolkien (Tollkühn in german !) was such a genius !!!
And Joanne K. Rowling only STOLE the idea from HIM and got rich !
Were decans always a thing? Or is that precession related. When I was opining about the aquarians in my life, I did find difference in the early aquarians versus the later one. Like I find early zodiacal Virgo’s different from later. Etc etc etc.
Thanks Vic! It’s useful to think of it in a Gemini way. Holding more than one concept at a time, but I don’t want to hold onto a false assumption…. 😳
But it doesn’t feel false, so many aspects have reflected the themes of the house they have fallen in…. So why is that Jamie? Is it merely projection on my part?
I like to get to the bottom of things Vic, if you mean puzzles as in things that are puzzling 🤔
I do crossword puzzles, words. I even liked doing algebraic equations. But like sudoku, word finds, and those head teaser mangled up mechanical things that are supposed to be put back in order, I don’t enjoy. And the really puffed up people about themselves, posers, can’t even go there so I go away. Need some kind of logical sense.
Right now I am considering how to figure out slope on a triangle. I have trouble with geek how to videos as well as instructions that come with electronic devices. And I really need to take a carpentry class as I am a hack and tacker. Natal Jupiter is near Sun in Virgo. Always need a concept or logic.
I am currently scratching my head over figuring out the slope of a triangle from the sides measurements. I have a hard time with geek videos and the technical instructions that come with electronic devices. Part of my challenge I think is Jupiter very near my sun in Virgo. I don’t know that Jupiter cares much for details. I had to put a wheelbarrow together and the bolt holes did not match up due to manufacturer err. I don’t usually get angry but threw it against wall, before I just resolved myself to forcing it together as best as possible.
Oh dear! Yes Jupiter likes the bigger picture! 😄
These are some good quotes. Didnt even realize I ALREADY am in those ‘zones’ of attitude.. it’s like people only grief at the moment of ‘physical impact in reality’. BUT the real real REALITY is how soon the MIND realizes it- with emotion attached to ‘the scenario’. The movements in your life is a series of events. Hence some grief years later. HENCE some START TO LIVE THEIR REAL LIFE pass 50. Or like some in this generation born in late 90’s and 2000’s, there is not much of TOMORROW given the state of the world.. Try we all will. Ruminate/reflect in intervals and try your best to Live this short wondrous life NOW!
The seniors I hang with feel robbed I think. Because we have a future too yet, as we are not dead yet. And we feel for the like minded you get folks. And have great faith in you. It has always been a quiet fight but the doors were open then. Hopefully they cannot stuff us all back into the box those before me had to live in. NOW is important, everyday in rvery way, every action, every word, remove on.
“Younger folks”
I finally get what was written. The change and the skittishness. It is out of my hands now. I am in the ‘how can I help you help me’ phase of my fiasco. There is relief on one hand, but not knowing on the other. It is now what will be will be. I was leery about reaching out for help from the big dogs because of all the crookery, but they seem to be tracking. So far so good.
