Supermoon Season Is Back—Here’s What to Expect
Is empathy a lost art? The final two full moons of the year might have something to say about that. Both are supermoons, appearing larger and brighter as they make their closest approach to Earth. In astrology, the moon is in charge of our emotions. This final full moon duo of 2025 might bring the big-feeling energy that the world needs.
On November 4, a full supermoon in Taurus grounds us in shared values and practical care. A month later, on December 4, the Gemini full supermoon highlights communication, collaboration, and the art of actually talking to each other. It’s fitting cosmic timing. With global tensions running high, these lunar months remind us that fostering togetherness often starts with who and what is right in front of us.
Taurus, the sign of the Bull, rules labor, money, and sustainability—our most tangible building blocks. It also governs farming and the food supply chain, connecting us to the literal ground beneath our feet. As the country faces tariff skirmishes, “Farmageddon” crop losses, and fears about frozen SNAP benefits, the salt-of-the-earth values of Taurus couldn’t come at a better time.
Already, the run-up to this supermoon is arousing a groundswell of neighborly decency. Grassroots efforts are mobilizing with people donating to food banks and forming mutual aid networks. But the moon’s light also reveals a rising frustration, a sense that the systems meant to sustain us have been stretched to their limits.
On December 4, the focus shifts from survival to connection under the Gemini full supermoon—the final full moon of 2025. Gemini governs communication, cooperation, and local initiatives. How do we share ideas and information? If Taurus tends to the hearth, Gemini takes to the streets, eager to exchange stories and swap solutions. December’s full supermoon could spark a wave of ingenuity from the ground up: neighborhood initiatives, collaborative startups, and digital communities that design creative ways to work around bureaucratic gridlock.
This supermoon season mirrors a major astrological shift happening this fall with Uranus, the planet of technology, disruption, and social change. On November 7, the cosmic shock jock slips back from Gemini into Taurus, retracing its steps for the final stretch of a cycle that began in May 2018.
A little history: Every 84 years, Uranus spends seven years transiting through a specific zodiac sign. Since May 2018, Uranus’s tour of Taurus (which last happened in the 1930s) has upended the way we think about money and work. We’ve become a largely cashless society, widely adopting everything from Venmo to crypto. With the pandemic sandwiched in this cycle, the entire workplace has changed. Languid Taurus has a disdain for hustle culture—and combined with liberated Uranus, this brought us flexible hours, remote work, and a booming gig economy. But as this phase winds down, we are contending with AI replacing vast swaths of labor.
Uranus in Taurus is an odd combo! Astrologers often consider this placement to be in its fall, meaning it’s one of the more challenging signs for the blue planet to occupy. Uranus is progressive, while Taurus is process-driven. Fittingly, the divide between liberals and conservatives is wider than it’s been in decades. At its spring/summer 2026 show, Miu Miu sent models down the runway in tradwife-inspired aprons. As the full Taurus supermoon beams us into November, we’re contending with some of this sign’s more regressive and lazy qualities. (Can you say bed rot?)
While the zodiac’s Bull may be loathe to rise from the pasture, Gemini energy is so mercurial it’s basically impossible to pin down. By the time December’s full moon rolls around, we may have no choice but to charge ahead into new terrain.
Once sci-fi Uranus logs back into this air sign from April 25, 2026 to May 22, 2033, we may feel like we’re living in a dual reality. Since Uranus did a short lap through Gemini from July 7 to November 7 this year, twinning already looks like deepfakes, clones, AI actors, and influencers. It’s going to get weirder still.
Let that sink in, but don’t let it ruin your holidays. Supermoon season is broadcasting in sentimental surround sound. For the next couple months, find opportunities to close the apps and open up to the world around you. At least in 2026, the best algorithm is still human connection.
