What You Should Release During This Week’s Full Moon (12/20), Based On Your Zodiac + Tarot

ARIES

Your Card: Death

Despite its negative connotations, this is one of the most powerful cards one can draw in a reading. Death represents change, transformation, renewal, rebirth, and growth. It signals a time to begin again. A new year and a new chapter await you. What are the goals that you want to accomplish in 2025? Reflect on the shifts you need to make to manifest those intentions. Write out everything that currently prevents you from achieving those dreams and desires—every self-limiting belief, each self-sabotaging pattern, and your obstacles. Then, burn that paper and release those things under this Full Moon.

TAURUS

Your Card: King of Wands

The Full Moon in Gemini lights up your Second House of income, prosperity, and values. Meanwhile, the King of Wands is a confident leader who pursues his ambitions and desires. He trusts in himself and his abilities. His appearance signals that you need to use this Full Moon to take control of your financial life and to gain a stronger sense of self-worth. It would be best if you released everything that stands in your way of that. Leave behind your bad spending, saving, and budgeting habits. Release every belief, dynamic, relationship, and situation that keeps you from realizing your inner power.

GEMINI

Your Card: Five of Cups, reversed

The Five of Cups in reverse urges you to release past disappointments, just as the Full Moon activates your First House of self, identity, goals, impressions, and new beginnings. Whatever acceptance or closure you have yet to reach, you must do so under this lunation. Holding on to the “what could have been” prevents you from moving forward. This loss or grief prevents you from even seeing all the wonderful possibilities. You can’t step into the person you’re meant to become or manifest your dream reality until you let go. Start thinking about what could be. Make it happen.

CANCER

Your Card: The Tower

Let go of your resistance to change, Cancer. To build anew, sometimes we must first be willing to burn it all down. Certain shifts might feel terrifying, and even destructive, but you can’t keep trying to force what has run its course. If it isn’t working, if it confines you, or if you find yourself just going through the motions, release it. This includes relationships, habits, thought patterns, goals, and situations that don’t fulfill you. It’s never too late to change course, your dreams, your viewpoint, or your mind about anything or anyone.

LEO

Your Card: Four of Swords

The Four of Swords calls on you to let go of constant productivity and endless action under this lunation. This card shows up when you need to invite more stillness and calmness into your life. It urges you to prioritize rest, reflection, rejuvenation, and relaxation. When was the last time you took a break? When was the last time you had any peace? When did you last nurture yourself and your spirit? Spend some time being introspective about your wants and needs. Reflect on how you can show up as your best self next year. Think about the changes you want to make. Gain clarity wherever you need to gain clarity.

VIRGO

Your Card: Three of Swords

The Three of Swords indicates a wounded heart. So, what’s hurting yours, Virgo? This card encourages you to let go of that sorrow, rejection, anguish, and heartbreak under this Full Moon in Gemini. You need to take the steps required to heal. Grieve and process the loss. Find acceptance. Give yourself the closure that may not come from anywhere or anyone else. Enter the new year without carrying around that heaviness. You need to make room for new experiences, opportunities, and connections. Transform your pain into openness, inspiration, hope, and inner strength. Let it lead you to a wonderful place full of possibilities.

LIBRA

Your Card: Justice

It would be best if you practiced radical self-honesty under this lunation. Examine the relationships, situations, and dynamics in your life that cause you to compromise your values and authenticity. Where and with whom do you feel you need to suppress your truth? What spaces force you to act out of alignment with your moral code? How have you been failing to do what’s right? How do you or others around you lack compassion and fairness? Release anyone who causes you to act without integrity, or who lacks it themselves. Let go of what can potentially invite bad karma into your life.

SCORPIO

Your Card: Ace of Wands

Let go of fear and thinking, and start doing Scorpio. The Ace of Wands invites you to take a leap of faith and make sold moves. Leave behind your doubt and pursue those big dreams of yours. It’s time to spring into action the ideas you’ve left on the back burner. Work towards whatever passion project, new venture, creative pursuit, or opportunity you can’t get out of your head. Release your hesitation and every excuse. There’s no better time than before the new year to begin taking the steps necessary to turn your vision into something tangible. Inspiration has been calling. Don’t wait any longer.

SAGITTARIUS

Your Card: Page of Pentacles

This Full Moon in Gemini focuses on your one-on-one relationships, partnerships, and collaborations. It’s time to decide whether you’re all in or all out. You either need to release your lack of commitment, or completely let go and move on. The Page of Pentacles offers you a new beginning and an opportunity for growth. It calls on you to invest time and energy into love and business. You need to start thinking long-term and focus on building strong foundations. Whether that means nurturing and growing what you currently possess or seeking new horizons is up to you.

CAPRICORN

Your Card: Eight of Wands, reversed

With the Full Moon activating your Sixth House of wellness and routine, there’s no time like the present to slow down and reassess your plan. If you’re not making your desired progress, stop trying to rush or force things. It would be best if you had a change of plan, or perhaps you don’t even have one set in place. Go back to the drawing board, Capricorn. Instead of sticking with your tried-and-true methods, you should try a new approach. It’s not your utyle, but maybe it’s time for something new.
