For all of us, this astrological event could be just what we need to say goodbye to 2024.
Or perhaps, if you believe in the twin flame concept, you will find a slightly different meaning to this Full Moon, knowing that Gemini (associated with The Lovers in the Tarot) can also be an important energy for connecting with an important loved one.
So let’s dive a little deeper.
What is a twin flame?
New to the concept of a twin flame? Don’t worry: as intriguing as the title sounds, it’s actually not as complicated as you might think.
For the most part twin flame relationships are romantic, although the most important thing is that they are a kind of unique soulmate. It is believed that the twin flame is two halves of one soul; the soul is split in two and we must try to find the other half.
It is also called your ‘other half’. You are meant to make contact with this person in every possible way in this life. However, some astrologers believe they can be platonic and manifest as incredibly strong friendships rather than romantic ones.
Although twin flames are meant to be together in some way, that doesn’t mean you’ll meet early in life, or that things will go smoothly once you meet and you’ll always be together. A twin flame connection often encourages you to grow and become a better version of yourself.
In general, twin flames are unconditional love, illuminating the best parts of you.
What is the difference between a soulmate and a twin flame?
It is difficult to know with 100% certainty whether or not you have met your twin flame in this life. Statistically, most would say it is a rare event to experience! More often than not, you will encounter someone who is more like a soulmate than a twin flame.
But what’s the difference?
1. Mirror Image vs. Complementary Traits
A twin flame connection is believed to be, as you might expect from the phrase “other half,” a person who reflects you. You may share a similar background, similar upbringing and similar values – And similar defects. This mirroring can be difficult and cause both parties to struggle with parts of themselves that they would rather ignore.
A soulmate connection, on the other hand, can be more versatile. A soulmate may exhibit complementary traits, similar traits, or very different traits. This kind of connection can push you to grow and learn in a different way.
2. You only get one twin flame versus multiple soulmates
As we’ve established, soulmates can come in all different shapes and sizes (relatively speaking). They can be your best friend, your arch rivals, your boss, your co-worker, a family member – the list is endless! As such, you can also have more than one soulmate.
In contrast, a twin flame is believed to be a one-time deal; you only get one!
3. Communication is intuitive
One notable difference that proponents of the twin flame concept emphasize is that the communication between a soulmate and a twin flame is stunningly different.
While a soulmate is someone you have difficulty communicating with or don’t always fully understand, a twin flame is someone who should speak the same kind of energetic language as you. It may even seem like they are ‘reading your mind’ at times.

A Full Moon Ritual to Connect with Your Twin Flame (and Yourself)
Getting in tune with the heart And the spirit to speak, connect and understand yourself and others clearly is the key to making the most of this Gemini Full Moon.
Here is a simple yet effective Full Moon ritual you can do to connect with what matters most!
1. Pen and paper: write it down
Find a pen, paper, and, if possible, an envelope to get started. Take a few deep breaths and remember there is no rush! You will want to enter this practice with an open mind.
Write down a message you want to convey – whether it is to the universe, to a loved one, to your twin flame, or even to your unconscious mind and heart.
2. ‘Email’ your intentions
You can then address your envelope (or directly state who or what you are trying to send your resolutions to) and seal it with resolutions.
If possible, we recommend finding a safe place outside to place the envelope to absorb the light of the Full Moon energy. Place a jar of water on the envelope and you will have moon water the next day, full of your intentions and the energy of the Full Moon.
If you can’t safely place your jar or envelope outside, don’t worry! You can do something similar by placing them on a windowsill overnight.
3. Collect your moon water
Don’t forget to pick up your moon water the next day! Your envelope sends the intentions elsewhere, but you can keep the water.
You can now use this powerful liquid in a later manifestation ritual or even use it for another practical purpose (such as watering your plants to support their spiritual and literal growth).
Think big and speak clearly during the full moon
Under the spell of the Full Moon in Gemini, we all struggle with similar themes. We want to express ourselves, put ourselves out into the world authentically, and be seen and heard by the people we care about.
Maybe this means you’re reaching out to that old soulmate bond that once disappeared, or you’re intending to connect with someone you think is a twin flame. Or maybe it means taking some extra time for yourself so you can feel comfortable with your own company.
Whatever this looks like for you, the energy of this Full Moon is undoubtedly there to speak to what is going on in your heart. Whether your audience is another person, a diary, or some form of soulmate, keep an open mind about how your words might be received.
