cold moon…

the cold moon is the full moon in december. its name comes from the fact that around this time of year, the weather starts to become colder, even snowing in some regions. this year, it falls on december 4th in gemini, which means it especially encourages communication, community, and clear thinking. rituals and spells are centered around reflection, release, and renewal, mirroring the energy of december & winter. it’s also perfect to finish up preparations for the winter solstice.
