12/15/24 | Mercury Stations Direct at 6° Sagittarius after the Full Moon in Gemini on December 15th.

It will feel like pushing a reset button on our cache of desires, hopes and dreams–especially if we used the recent Mercury retrograde period as a time to reassess, reflect and review.

Happening at 23° Gemini, this last full moon of 2024 signifies the start of winter and the new year. It will occur on one of the longest nights of the year when Mercury moves forward again at 6° Sagittarius, trine 6° Leo–where Mars began its retrograde conjunct the Part of Fortune on the 6th of December. The trine is a more harmonious astrological aspect offering us a brief sense of ease. This energy is welcome as we head into 2025 while simultaneously recalibrating our collective spiritual journey and individual goals. 

The forward motion of Mercury gives us a little grease to put the gears in motion to better strategize for our desires, hopes and dreams towards the spring of 2025 when both Saturn and Neptune begin their transit through Aries, zodiac sign of the pioneering trailblazer. 

This Cold Full Moon itself won’t be very emotional, since it will be peregrine, a wanderer without dignity in Gemini. Messages will be given free reign to be delivered, but not all of them will receive a warm reception because many of us have become more guarded around the overabundance of information we’re exposed to during the last year while Jupiter has been in Gemini. 

Leaving the emotion out of things can make us better equipped to prioritize and strategize in a more realistic way. It’s always good to do meticulous research as we plan ahead, but in the process, be extra careful in distinguishing between information that is useful and not. Streamline your process and determine when you’ve done enough research. Keeping cool and level-headed also helps in making plans for the next chapter of our destiny.
