Gemini Full Moon Corresponding Tarot Cards: The Nine of Swords (Moon in Gemini), The Nine of Wands (Sun in Sagittarius), The Moon
Well, I’m not going to sugarcoat it, the two tarot cards representing the final full moon of 2025 (Nine of Swords & Nine of Wands) are a bit of a handful! Together, they add up to number 18, which is The Moon in the Major Arcana. An energy that asks you to look at what’s been lingering beneath the surface. It’s mysterious, revealing, and transformative. And because this full moon sits on the Gemini–Sagittarius axis, there’s movement, momentum, and a push to keep going even when things feel murky. My eye keeps going to the crawfish emerging from the water on The Moon card. That image echoes the themes of the upcoming Sagittarius New Moon on the 19th – something rising, something breaking through.
This final full moon of the year is a super moon, shining it’s light on the fears, worries, and patterns you’ve been carrying. You know, the ones that play like a highlight reel when everything else is quiet. But this isn’t a moon for deep excavation or revisiting every wound. Gemini and Sagittarius are mutable air and fire. Active, forward-moving, quick to adapt. Think of a quarterback carrying the ball those last few yards for the touchdown. The pressure is real. The hits may come. But the momentum is undeniable, and the goal is in sight.
It’s been a long road, but don’t throw in the towel now!
This moon asks you to look at the internal stories and patterns that have shaped your decisions. Not to dwell, but to see them clearly and understand why they’ve held such influence for so long. This Gemini moon is about seeing something with fresh eyes. What was then is not what is now.
The Nines in tarot signify a turning point. The moment where past trials, breakthroughs, and hard-earned lessons gather into wisdom. Look back on the year behind you. Who you were in January is not who you are today. Again, the crawfish on The Moon card catches my eye. It rises from the depths wearing a shell. Symbolic of the protective layers built from old stories and survival patterns. Which of those layers have served their purpose? Which are ready to be shed?
This full moon asks: what are you ready to release in this final month of 2025?
The images of the cards tell the story. However, there is a new path in front of you. Clear your mind, speak your truth, and allow your perspective to shift. Redefine the narratives that keep looping in the background. Gemini rules the house of communication, so journaling your thoughts or having an honest conversation can help clear the mental clutter and create space for what wants to emerge next.
