Namaste lovely people,
A Full Supermoon 🌕 in Cancer is exact this morning - 3 Jan at 10:03am (UK time) - but what does this mean for you?
The full moon in Cancer connects us to our feelings, our soul self, and our quiet, private energy. The moon is strong in her domicile sign where she feels at home and her strength is heightened further by retrograding Jupiter which sits alongside, increasing and expanding her energy and lending wisdom, faith and optimism.
The full moon asks us to nourish and care for our emotional self, our inner child, to offer love and respect for the journey we have been on so far and to trust the journey we have yet to come. She wants us to connect deeply with our soul's wisdom and to notice the ways in which we might better nurture ourselves and our loved ones.
A full moon occurs when the moon sits across the sky from the sun, creating an illuminating time of heightened emotions, focusing us on our relationships, and holding up a mirror from which we can see ourselves clearly. As this is a supermoon, the sensitive among us might notice that these full moon energies feel more heightened than usual since the moon is closer to the earth.
This opposition between moon in Cancer and sun in Capricorn creates asks us to balance two polarising energies (as is always the case with a full moon). The balance this time comes from the focusing energies of Capricorn where the Sun resides alongside Venus and Mars.
The Capricorn energies ask us to concentrate on our goals, our work, and what we want to create in the world. Capricorn is about mastery, commitment to our path and the discipline needed to remain steady, consistent, and responsible. Mars is likely to increase our desire to act on these goals and push them forwards. Whereas Venus is asking for us to make sure our goals are grounded in our value system - that they are worthy of our time and attention and we are fully invested in them.
So, how do we achieve this balance?
The full moon in Cancer reminds us that however far we may be from living the life we want to live - the path forwards is in fact the path inwards. This path is emotionally connected, present in the now moment, and it is from this inner space that we will find the strength to make any changes we can see we now need. Jupiter asks us to honour ourselves further and to trust in the soul wisdom we have gathered walking through our lives.
✨ So, while we are moving into the new year and focused on building the foundations of our future, we are invited to ensure our actions are grounded and authentic, honouring our inner emotional world too ✨
We might like to ask ourselves:
~ Does the life we are building honours our deeper soul needs?
~ And if not, could we use our inner knowledge and emotional wisdom to carve out our forward-focused and achievement-orientated path more mindfully and more lovingly, so that we might make our towards a life that offers a deeper sense of balance and nourishment?
With Chiron (both the wounded healer and the medicine we need to heal) stationing direct around the time of the full moon, we might be feeling a little more vulnerable and self-protective. Chiron in Aries wants to remind us that we all have our own wounds and we have all been on our own healing journeys - though we will of course be at different points on our healing path. He asks that we remember to integrate our medicine into our future, so that we can step forward more confidently, tending to our needs as we go.
