Thanks to the cosmos, a belated gift is coming your way this holiday season!

Taking place just one day after Christmas for skywatchers in the Western Hemisphere, this month's full moon will rise on Dec. 26 at 7:33 p.m. ET, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory.

Nicknamed the Cold Moon, December's lunation will reach its fullest phase amid the season's brightest constellation: Gemini, the Twins. As the evening goes on, the moon will move several degrees closer to the Castor star.

Celebrity astrologer Kyle Thomas tells PEOPLE that full moon periods "tend to represent turning points, culminations, endings or awakenings" — and December's Cold Moon is no different! The upcoming lunation rises a few weeks after its corresponding new moon, which peaked on Dec. 12.

This year's Cold Moon is a full moon in Cancer and fourth sign on the wheel, a zodiac that Thomas — who's known for his cosmic guidance for celebrities, business executives and prominent influencers — says "aligns with domesticity, emotional security, our ancestors and families."

The energy of this water sign "energizes our lives," which Thomas says "allows us to reflect on the past and better understand our foundations so we can build toward our greatest plans and endeavors." He says to listen to your "heart and spirit" as your "emotional centers and intuition will also be stimulated" at this time.

To find out what December's full moon could mean for you based on your zodiac sign, per Thomas' suggestions, read on!

There's no place like home for the holidays, Aries! Though, Thomas says this lunation could cause "an emotional shift" around a "domestic affair" at this time.

"Some of you may have sudden news that causes you to have to pivot the way you’ve been handling a family, home or real estate matter," he predicts. "You may be required to step in to aid a parent or one of your kindred."

While the situation might end up being frustrating, Thomas says "you must power through it." Fortunately, he says you could possibly "transform the sense of joy" by moving or redesigning space of your own.

A culmination could be approaching, Taurus! "A big turning point around a communication or mental project is at hand," predicts Thomas of a particular writing, speaking, advertising or social media initiative underway.

While Thomas says "a lot of progress" may be made, he notes that "you may be quite emotional about how it’s all coming together."

Elsewhere in his predictions, Thomas says "an important contract could pop up near this time," potentially pressuring Taurus' "to sign it." He suggests "delaying" the action if possible — however, he predicts "it’ll be thrust upon you" and "make you feel like you’re walking on eggshells."

He says that "it may feel like a bigger expense than you’d prefer to handle;" therefore, he suggests "looking at your budget and finances and realizing you need to make some serious adjustments."

"If you need aid at this time, think outside of the box and reach out to others who may be able to step in and provide what you need."
