Winter Solstice Moon - December 2018


The Full Moon for December 2018 rises on the 22nd—very near the winter solstice this year! It will close to full (95%) on Christmas eve.

In Native American cultures which tracked the calendar by the Moons, December’s Full Moon was known as the Full Cold Moon. It is fittingly associated with the month when the winter cold fastens its grip and the nights become long and dark.
