About December’s Cold Full Moon
December full moon is commonly known in the Northern Hemisphere as the Full Long Nights Moon. It takes its name from the winter solstice, which has the longest night in the year. The Full Long Nights Moon cuts a soaring trajectory through the wintery skies, in direct opposition to the low-hanging sun. According to Pagan tradition, on years that the Full Moon falls before the winter solstice, it is referred to as the Mourning Moon. For our early Pagan ancestors this was a time of cleansing by stopping bad habits to make one stronger to service the cold winter ahead. The Algonquins called this full moon the Cold Moon, in reference to the cold light it casts upon long winter nights. Strangely enough, in certain other cultures, December’s full moon can actually be associated with warmth.
To the Deborean Clan, the Cold Moon is associated with staying in your cosy home beside a crackling fireplace, surrounded not just by physical warmth, but also the warmth of family and friends. Similarly, the Wishram tribe named December’s full moon the Winter Houses Moon. Given that it coincides with holidays like Yule, Pagans consider this the perfect time to open up your home and provide warmth to those you love, as well as to those who are most vulnerable to the cold of winter.
For those who are more inclined towards solitude, the Full Long Nights Moon provides an excellent opportunity to enjoy your cosy home in peace and quiet. Consider taking lots of restful naps under warm, fluffy comforters, or allowing yourself to lounge in bed in the mornings instead of rising immediately to work. Appropriately, the Native American Zuni tribe called December’s full moon the “Moon Where the Sun Comes Home to Rest”. This full moon is a great time for you to take a long overdue break and recharge, so that you may shine all the brighter when it comes time for you to rise again.
This period of slow restfulness is also very conducive to introspection. When you look inwards and take stock of your life during this time, try to focus on loose ends and the little things that you’ve left hanging throughout the year. As the last full moon that rises before the year draws to a close, the Full Long Nights Moon is a time of endings. Take advantage of this full moon’s energy and bring an end to tasks you’ve been meaning to do, clearing your mind so you can move forward with a clean slate.
As much as the Full Long Nights Moon may be about endings, it is also about beginnings and rebirth. The Sioux Indians’ name for December’s full moon is the “Moon When Deer Shed Their Horns”, thus beginning the process of growing new ones. The Celts, on the other hand, call it the Elder Moon. Elder is fragile and easily damaged, but it’s also full of vitality and recovers very quickly. As the Elder Moon shines upon you, allow yourself to rest and heal from everything that has hurt you over the year, and focus instead on new beginnings and promising areas of growth. This is an excellent time to start planning your New Year’s resolutions and set exciting new goals for the upcoming year.

December 2023 – Gardening by the Moon, Biodynamic Planting Guide
Please read this first:
1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:
Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations.
- a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
- b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days
Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.
2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)
There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:
- a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
- b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac
Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.

December Birthstone Color and Flower and More
Source: monthlybirthstones.com
The December Birthstone is Turquoise
The traditional birthstone for December is brilliant blue Turquoise and the December birthstone color is blue. There are in fact three official December birthstones – Turquoise, Tanzanite and Blue Zircon, with Blue Topaz as the alternative December gemstone.
Topaz is the main Zodiac birthstone for Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21) and Turquoise is one of the secondary stones. Ruby is the primary birthstone for Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20). Other birthday symbols include the birth flowers for December which are the Narcissus (Daffodil) and the Poinsettia.
Besides being meaningful December birthday gifts, Turquoise jewelry is the gift to celebrate an 11th wedding anniversary and Tanzanite jewelry for a 24th anniversary.
The name Turquoise comes from ‘pierre turquoise’ which means ‘stone of Turkey’ so called when the stone was brought to Europe from Turkish bazaars.
According to legends the Turquoise stone symbolizes success, happiness and prosperity.
Watch the short, informative videos below highlighting the history, symbolism and properties of all three of December’s gemstones. (Clink on the link above to watch the video.)
The December Birthstone Color is Blue
Blue is the birthstone color for December and comes from the three official December gemstones – Turquoise, Tanzanite and Blue Zircon, which all occur in shades of blue.
Turquoise
Turquoise is formed by groundwater containing copper that has seeped into the bedrock. Reactions with other minerals over time form an opaque stone of stunning shades of blues and greens. The dark lines and shapes seen in turquoise are derived from the surrounding rock, known as matrix. Beautiful blue-green Turquoise is one of the earliest gemstones to be cast in jewelry since ancient times.
Rare violet-blue Tanzanite was recently discovered in the 1960’s and the only known deposit is in northern Tanzania.
Sparkling Zircon has been used in jewelry for over 2000 years and is available in many colors, the most popular being blue Zircon.
Blue Topaz is the alternative birthstone for December and also a very popular gemstone in jewelry. Topaz occurs in variety of natural colors and its color range has been extended by chemical or heat treatments of colorless Topaz.
December birthstone jewelry set with any of the blue birthstones of December, or with blue crystals or beads, makes a lovely gift for a December birthday. Turquoise earrings continue to be very popular all year round.
Discover more about turquoise properties and turquoise symbolism.
Tanzanite
The Second December Birthstone is Tanzanite
Tanzanite is the second of the three official December gemstones – Turquoise, Tanzanite and Blue Zircon. The American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) added Tanzanite to the official birthstone list in 2002, the first change to the list since 1912.
Tanzanite is a beautiful blue-violet variety of zoisite and is only found in northern Tanzania in Africa. It was formed about 585 million years ago during great upheavals in the earth’s crust that later formed Mount Kilimanjaro. It is thought that the intense heat generated caused chemical changes in deposits of brown zoisite to form the unusual blue-violet colored zoisite.
These rare deposits were discovered in 1967 and later given the trade name of ‘Tanzanite’ by Tiffany & Co. Tanzanite crystals can actually display three colors – blue, violet and burgundy depending on the angle of the crystals and lighting conditions.
Due to its rarity Tanzanite jewelry tends to be more expensive than other semi-precious gemstones, however the amazing purple-blue hues definitely make it worthwhile. Tanzanite engagement rings are becoming popular and are more affordable than rings set with traditional precious gemstones.

December Birth Flowers are Narcissus and Poinsettia
The birth flowers for December are the pretty Narcissus and the vibrant Poinsettia, which both flower during the month of December.
Narcissus
The primary birthday flower for December is the Narcissus which blooms in late winter to spring (Northern Hemisphere).
Narcissus is a group of plants in the amaryllis family, also known as Daffodil or Jonquil, and the flowers are white, yellow or orange.
Narcissus are native to woodlands and meadows of southern Europe and North Africa, with the center of diversity in the western Mediterranean.
The name Narcissus is linked to the Greek word for ‘narcotic’ and the Greek myth of a youth that fell in love with his own reflection (narcissism).
The Narcissus is a national flower of both Wales and Iran and the Daffodil is the flower given to celebrate a tenth wedding anniversary.
Poinsettia
The vibrant red Poinsettia is the second birthday flower for December and is widely used in Christmas decorations.
The Poinsettia is indigenous to Mexico but has been introduced world wide and there are a number of cultivated varieties. It is the national flower of the Caribbean island country of Trinidad and Tobago.
The Poinsettia was named after a US ambassador to Mexico, J.R Poinsett, who is thought to have informed botanists about this attractive plant.
The language of flowers introduced in Victorian times says that Poinsettias symbolize good cheer and success.
