The final full moon of 2021 shines like a spotlight on higher love, truth and fulfillment. Blessed by an expansive influence of Jupiter, the full moon of Dec 18 is an omen for positive change and an auspicious time for New Year’s resolutions.

This full moon is also at an emotional turning point in regards to love, money, and your sense of true fulfillment.

The full moon falls just before the tipping point between light and darkness, at the solstice on Dec 21. In the northern hemisphere, the solstice is the beginning of Uttarayana, a season of spiritual growth when the days begin to lengthen and grow brighter.

In Vedic astrology, the full moon falls in the area of the sky known as Mrigashira (Mriga means deer, and shira means head). Symbolized by the energy of a wild stag, Mrigashira is called the “searching star,” as it seeks out what nourishes and guides it forward. As a deer seeks out its flock, this full moon desires meaningful connections with others.
