This month’s full moon arrives on December 4, shining as a supermoon because it reaches its closest point to Earth, known as perigee. At its peak, it will appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than usual. Remarkably, this marks the third consecutive supermoon of late 2025, following the luminous displays of October and November.
December’s Cold Moon will climb higher in the sky than any other full moon until 2042, making its presence especially commanding. The name “Cold Moon,” rooted in Mohawk tradition, reflects the stark chill of December nights and invites us to pause in awe beneath its radiant glow.
As the final full moon of the year—and the biggest and brightest—it offers a powerful moment to embrace a release ritual. This luminous supermoon invites us to let go of what no longer serves, while setting intentions not only for the coming moon cycle, but for the year ahead.
Here are some inspiring full moon ritual ideas you can try for release, renewal, and manifestation. They range from simple self-care practices to more symbolic ceremonies, so you can choose what resonates most with your style:
🌙 Classic RitualsMoon Water Creation: Place a jar of water under the moonlight overnight, then use it later for cleansing, meditation, or watering plants.
Release Ceremony: Write down habits, fears, or emotions you want to let go of, then burn or bury the paper as a symbolic act.
