Full Moon in Gemini & Venus Retrograde in Capricorn

Updated: Jan 17, 2022




The last Full Moon of 2021 on the 19th December occurs in the sign of Gemini. The Full Moon takes place just two days before the solstice, which falls on December 21st 2021. When these two astronomical events happen so close, the Full Moon is called the Solstice Moon.


Just a few hours after the Full Moon, Venus begins her retrograde journey in the sign of Capricorn conjunct Pluto until March 2022. During this time, we will reassess the way we have been shaping our life and we are likely to undergo deep and lasting inner changes. These will include our values, financial situation, love, and social life. We will review and reconsider our boundaries.
