The Moon waxes and becomes full in Gemini at 2:30 a.m. (EST) on December 2. This Full Moon in December is most commonly known as the Cold Moon.

As the longest night of the year approaches - Yule - this Full Moon reminds us that Winter is nearing yet at the same time the Sun will begin to return.

However, this darkness is the perfect time for spiritual alchemy -- time to evaluate your life, if you hadn't done so during Samhain.
