What a full moon in Gemini means
With the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Sagittarius, this full moon lights the Gemini–Sagittarius axis: what started at the new moon in Scorpio on November 20, 2025 comes to a head. Gemini is a mutable air sign ruled by Mercury; its keywords: curious, witty, adaptable.
Talk speeds up and attention scatters. Messages multiply, plans change twice, and curiosity beats depth. Good for errands, conversations and gathering information; harder for sitting still with one thing.
The instant is the same everywhere; only the clock reading changes. Distances are centre to centre. There is no official supermoon definition: here a supermoon is a full moon with the Moon within 360,000 km of Earth, a micromoon one beyond 405,000 km.
