FULL MOON IN GEMINI + WEEKLY ASTROLOGY FORECAST: NOVEMBER 30 – DECEMBER 6

VENUS ENTERS SAGITTARIUS, FINAL FULL MOON OF 2025 IN GEMINI, MERCURY DIRECT IN SCORPIO WITH POST SHADOW

Closure is the imprint of this week. Twenty twenty five has been a nine year in numerology and the year of the wood snake. Across systems we are closing a chapter. The sky mirrors this with our final full moon of the year in Gemini, Venus shifting from Scorpio into Sagittarius, and Mercury newly direct in Scorpio still moving through post shadow. The feel is subterranean and bright at once. Old stories surface so they can be released. New air enters so the mind can open.

We are in a threshold year. The old architecture is dissolving while hints of the new arrive without full definition. Closure does not always look like answers. Often it is simply the nervous system recognizing that a cycle has completed. This week gathers threads from the entire year and invites a clean pause before the next beginning. Remain present. Let the body tell you what is complete.

MERCURY DIRECT IN SCORPIO, POST SHADOW

Mercury has stationed direct and continues through its post shadow in Scorpio. This keeps the focus on excavation and integration. Insights that arrived during the retrograde now ask to be tested in daily life. Notice the beliefs and mental loops that no longer fit. Practice saying less and listening more. Precision over performance. Curiosity over conclusion. Allow conversations that bring closure without forcing definition.

VENUS ENTERS SAGITTARIUS

On November thirty the relational field changes tone. Venus leaves Scorpio and enters Sagittarius, moving from underworld honesty to sky wide truth. The heart seeks spaciousness, candor, and shared meaning. Values clarify around freedom, integrity, and growth. In healthy expression this transit restores warmth, play, and vision. In shadow it can become reactive or dogmatic. Let honesty be kind and specific. Let enthusiasm be guided by discernment.

FINAL FULL MOON OF 2025 IN GEMINI

On December four we receive the last full moon of the year and the final super moon in a series that began in October. Gemini brings culmination through clarity of mind. This moon squares the lunar nodes and forms part of a larger mutable pattern. Translation: closure is mental and narrative. Old stories unravel. Identities built from survival rather than truth loosen their hold.

Gemini is the butterfly and the bee. It gathers data and spreads insight. Under this light we are asked to hold nuance without rushing to fix it. It is a hinge between what has been and what is about to open. Expect realizations about perception, language, and the filters through which you have been seeing. Because Mercury rules this lunation and is still in post shadow, revelations may feel retrograde flavored. Let data collect. Response will come later.

An ongoing trine between Mercury in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer, and Saturn in Pisces continues to support emotional alchemy. A broader kite pattern that involves Uranus adds the spark for sudden insight. This is integration weather. Emotional honesty meets mental openness. The body processes, the mind updates, the spirit orients.

SOMATIC AND PRACTICAL INTEGRATION

Name three sensations before you name a story. Choose warm food, steady movement, and early evenings. Write a single page to retire the year: what is complete, what remains, what you bless and release. Refresh one space at home so your eyes can rest and your system can trust. Speak only what is true, necessary, and kind. If it is only true, wait. If it is only necessary, refine. If it is only kind, let the heart lead.

2026 ASTROLOGY FORECAST WORKSHOP

We cross the threshold in 2026. Air and fire return and manifestation accelerates. Join my live workshop for a deep look at the transits of 2026, key initiation windows, and practical ways to work them in your chart. You will receive a detailed workbook and replay. Seats are limited.

This week asks for humility of mind and generosity of heart. Let belief loosen its grip so truth can breathe. Cultivate roots that can move like kelp—fixed to what is real, fluent with what is changing.

Descent now is not delay; it is alignment.
