The holiday season is upon us, and I know many of us are feeling the mix of emotion that comes with this time of year — overwhelm, sadness, uncertainty, reflection, hope, tenderness, and the desire to close out the year feeling a little lighter and a little more aligned.

As we approach the end of 2025, tonight’s full moon offers a powerful opportunity to get honest with ourselves about what we may need to release before stepping into a brand-new year. I recently watched a video from Patty Lennon that I found both interesting and deeply insightful, and I’m sharing the essence of her message with you in the blog post below.

Now, let’s dive in.

Full Moon Reflections: A Powerful Moment to Release, Reset & Realign

We have a powerful full moon rising — a bright, expansive super moon in Gemini — and its energy brings a unique invitation: it’s time to tell ourselves the truth, ground deeply, and prepare to release what can’t come with us into the new year.

Gemini energy often feels like multiple parts of us speaking at once. This makes sense because we’re standing in a major transition: the ending of a nine-year cycle and the approach of a brand-new one-year cycle beginning in 2026.

This is a profound pivot point. There is a “leaving behind” happening and a “becoming” happening simultaneously.

This can show up as emotional swings, mixed thoughts, resurfacing habits, unexpected reactions, or bursts of clarity followed by moments of doubt. It’s normal. It’s part of the shift.

If you’re feeling this inner push-pull, you’re not alone. And if you’re not feeling it, that’s a sign of deep inner work already done.

Either way, this full moon marks a precious preparatory window — a moment to let go of the old so you can step into the year ahead with more clarity, strength, and alignment.

Below are the five themes that emerged from Patty’s message, captured and shared here to support your own reflection tonight.

1. Tell Yourself the Truth

This full moon carries the energy of the “sword of truth.”
It’s asking you to be deeply honest — not harsh, not judgmental, simply honest.

There may be something you’ve been tolerating, avoiding, or hoping would fix itself. This is the time to shine light on it.

The moon acts as a witness.
A mirror.
A gentle but clear illumination.

Use this moment to ask:
What truth have I been afraid to acknowledge — and am I ready to honor it now?

When we tell ourselves the truth, we cut through noise, confusion, and emotional fog. We free ourselves.

2. Ground Yourself

The energy of this moon is big, fast-moving, and transformative.
To receive its clarity fully, grounding is essential.

Imagine roots growing from your feet or spine deep into the earth.
Let yourself feel steady, held, anchored.

Grounding allows the energy of release and renewal to move through you in a healthy, balanced way — rather than feeling overwhelming or chaotic.

3. Let Love Lead

As you release what needs to go — a belief, a pattern, a fear, an expectation, a responsibility that was never yours — you might feel guilt, sadness, or self-judgment.

Let love guide you through it.

Love for yourself, first.
Love for others, second.
But always in that order.

If a decision feels hard, ask:
What would love do?

And trust the quiet clarity that follows.

4. Receive the Light That’s Available

There is a wave of “starlight energy” — cosmic, spiritual, or simply universal support — moving toward us right now. Even if your path feels dark or uncertain, this moon reminds you that there is more light within reach than you may realize.

If you can, step outside tonight and let the moonlight touch your skin.
Imagine it filling your mind, heart, and body.

If you can’t go outside, close your eyes and visualize the light entering you.

Let it remind you that you are guided, supported, and not alone.

5. This Is Your Journey

This full moon brings you back to your own path.

Not what others think.
Not what others expect.
Not what others are choosing.

This is your life, your journey, your healing, your evolution.

Stay with yourself.
Trust your inner compass.
Release the comparisons.

What’s right for you may not look right to anyone else — and that’s how it should be.

Closing Reflection

This full moon is a threshold.
A doorway.
A moment of completion and new beginnings.

A moment to:

• release what no longer serves you
• tell yourself the truth
• steady your energy
• let love guide your choices
• receive the light that’s here to support you
• step forward with clarity and courage

You are in a powerful chapter of your evolution. You are becoming more of who you truly are. And you do not walk this path alone!

Below are several mantras you can repeat tonight or throughout the week:

• “I release what was, I rise into what’s next.”
• “I walk forward in truth, strength, and light.”
• “I am guided, I am grounded, I am becoming.”
• “I let go with love and step into my new beginning.”
• “Light fills me, love leads me, and I trust my path.”

Wishing you a peaceful & illuminating full moon!
