The moon will be full this Monday January 13 in the watery sign of Cancer 4:27 pm CST. Full moons occur every month when the sun and moon are in opposite signs at the exact same degree; for this full moon the sun is at 24 degrees Capricorn so the moon is in the opposite sign of Cancer at 24 degrees. In astrology the moon represents our feelings and moods so during a full moon our feelings can feel full and larger than life. Full moons can create a sense of tension and instability. During a full moon situations can be brought to completion as well as casting light on what was previously hidden.
This is a very feeling full moon because Cancer belongs to the water element meaning this is a sign that places special emphasis on feelings, moods, intuition and relationships. In fact, we are flooded with the water element during this full moon as the moon and Mars are in Cancer and Venus, Saturn and Neptune in the watery sign of Pisces. The moon rules the sign of Cancer so it’s right at home in this sign. This is called domicile in astrology meaning the planet is in the sign that it rules so the planet can express it’s energy in a comfortable and powerful way.
The full moon in Cancer says its time to take off your armor, lower your defenses and get vulnerable. Cancer is an energy that needs deep emotional connections when it comes to relationships. The rational, logical mind takes a backseat when the moon is in Cancer. It’s time to listen to your inner voice, your intuition. What message is the Universe trying to convey to you? What thought or thoughts keep repeating in your head? Even if we feel overcome by fear the full moon in Cancer says stay the path and trust your intuition. The luminous full moon can shed light on the fears that have held us back. If you need help connecting with your intuitive voice try meditating with Moonstone. Not only can this stone help in connecting with your psychic vibe it also aids in expanding your consciousness. As the evening proceeds the moon in Cancer will conjunct Mars in Cancer adding some spice, heat and intensity to our feelings.
Each zodiac sign is linked to one of the twelve astrological houses. Cancer is the natural ruler of the 4th House; the angle on the astrological wheel that deals with home, family, security and real estate. The moon relays to our conscious mind the things we need to feel safe, secure and taken care of. Your home or living space can be a priority during a full moon in Cancer. This is the perfect time to get your home in order making sure your home is a space where you can recharge your battery at the end of the day. Others of us could even be thinking about moving or purchasing a house. For some, the full moon in Cancer could mean its time to prioritize your family and home life.
Have a great full Moon in Cancer and we hope to see you in the store soon. Take care.
