What absolutely cannot be done on the last full moon of 2025

The last full moon of the year is traditionally associated with summing up and getting rid of all unnecessary things before starting a new stage. Astrologers believe that the December Moon has a particularly strong energy and can influence people's emotional state and decisions. Details can be found in the Izvestia article.

When is the last full moon of the year

The last full moon of 2025 falls on the night of December 4th to 5th. In the Russian capital, it will arrive approximately at 02:15 on December 5. This full moon is traditionally called the "Cold Moon", and in 2025 it will be one of the most notable events in terms of brightness. Astronomical calculations mark the status of a major full moon for it, when the lunar disk appears larger and shines brighter than usual.

The energy of the December full moon: its impact on humans

The full moon has historically been perceived as the peak of lunar energy — a time when emotions become more acute, intuition becomes sharper, and hidden processes tend to come to the surface.

The full moon promotes extreme emotional reactions and creates a summing-up effect: a problem that a person has been working on for a long time during this period often either worsens or gets resolved.

It is recommended to use this period to complete the tasks that have been started, for cleansing rituals of liberation from the past, and for meditations aimed at realizing personal needs.

What not to do during the last full moon of the year

Astrological and folk recommendations agree on a number of prohibitions, which are useful to consider on the days of the full moon, especially in the case of a powerful December event.

Firstly, it is not recommended to plan serious surgical procedures and dental surgeries. It is recommended to avoid surgical interventions during the days and the next day of the full moon due to the perceived risks of increased bleeding and delayed healing.

Secondly, it is advised not to start large financial projects, not to sign important documents and refrain from impulsive purchases: the period is characterized by increased emotionality, which can distort a rational assessment of risk.

Thirdly, many astrologers and folk traditions warn against sudden changes in the image — radical haircuts or a drastic change in hair color during the full moon can have an unpredictable effect according to the subjective beliefs of practitioners.

Intense physical exertion and conflict situations should be avoided. It is recommended to devote time to rest, recovery, and internal practices such as meditation, journaling, and cleansing procedures.

Astrological recommendations for different signs

The full moon acts differently depending on which sign it passes through and which areas of life it illuminates. Aries, Leo, Sagittarius — fire signs on the days of the full moon are more likely to experience a surge of energy and impulsiveness. Astrologers advise channeling this power into sports, creativity, or completing long-standing projects, avoiding conflict.

Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn — earth signs will get a chance to reassess material issues; it is important to review the budget, insurance and mortgage documents, not to make financial decisions in a state of emotional uplift.

Gemini, Libra, Aquarius — air signs will be subject to information outbursts and interpersonal tensions. It is useful to limit the overload of social networks, focus on communication with loved ones and not make promises based on emotions.

Cancers, Scorpios, Pisces — water signs will feel an increase in sensitivity and deep feelings. It is recommended to engage in reflection, psychological work and avoid hasty decisions in personal relationships.
