Full Moon in Cancer January 8, 2012

Nanaimo Full Moon 2011

Sunday's Full Moon in Cancer will occur at 11:30 pm PST at 18 degrees of Cancer 26 minutes (and at the same time the Sun will be in direct opposition to the Moon at 18 degrees of Capricorn 26 minutes). Check your charts to see where these coordinates fall, indicating how this Full Moon is illuminating your life since the New Moon of December 24th!

Cancer, the water sign, themes are:

• Self-nurturance - we have to look after and love ourselves FIRST, making us the first priority so that we have the energy and solid power centre from which to help others next! Key key key!
• Family values, family of origin issues, Mom/mothering, and long-remembered emotional threads into the distant past of previous generations - all on an emotional/intuitional level. What is this Full Moon spotlighting in your life that needs to be addressed emotionally? Are you listening to your inner wisdom via your intuition to KNOW what is calling for your attention at this time?
• Emotions - whatever you've been working on since the December New Moon, allow those emotions to surface and be dealt with! Emotional eating/drinking/shopping etc isn't what works for us anymore - DEAL with what is showing, WHEN it shows up, then move along.
• Intuition - Cancer is the most sensitive sign of the Zodiac - honour your inner wisdom (the Divine Feminine Power energy) and allow it to lead you into the Unknown, which most likely is your true Destiny at this time. Know that the angels, archangels, ascended masters and gods/goddesses KNOW more than we do about the Bigger Divine Plan - allowing your Ego to think it knows best isn't the best strategy right now.
• Confrontation - Cancer is the Crab glyph, where it can go running, exit stage left, or dig itself deep into the sand where it is standing - all in the response to avoiding confrontation! Confronting yourself, or others, can be done lovingly, compassionately and with much forgiveness now. Come from your heart if you know there is an important conversation to be spoken - and be honest and truthful to both yourself and the other while speaking it.
• House and Home - during the winter months so far, has your home shown you how IT needs to be nurtured? I called the handyman in this week already to deal with rotting boards on my balcony that have been waving in the raging winds and rain we've had lately. Deal with it all now, when you notice it.

The other players in this Full Moon picture are:

• Mercury and Pluto holding hands in Capricorn, creating powerful conversations that get to the root of the problem! Unearth that which has eluded you before now. Call up a friend, colleague, or loved one and speak your mind. Watch out for power and control issues if you feel that confrontation fear coming on - allow Pluto to transform your words and heal the situation while sticking to the plan. Expect a renewed vision for your relationship(s) as a result! Integrity issues can be resolved when both parties agree to play fair.
• Saturn in Libra and Venus with Neptune in Aquarius are also enjoying an easy connection right now. Bring your Spiritual Love out from your unique individual self and allow Saturn to help guide the balance of it, with proper boundaries and seeing any limitations you may have put on yourself. Authority figures want to play fair right now, so bring in that Higher Mindset of what you want for the future, and dispel any unclear situations at the same time. If you receive a niggling feeling that you don't have ALL the information at hand, you most likely do not. Ask and search for what is missing so that you 'see' the whole picture.
• The Moon's Nodes are halfway through Sagittarius (North Node) and Gemini (South Node) @ 13 degrees and 59 minutes. Remember that the North Node is beckoning us to take steps forward in a direction of our life purpose while the South Node is helping us to clean up our acts from the past re: what we do with the information and data gathering we collect along the way. Do you use it or store it away for another rainy day? Take all those workshops, then file it under 'G' for "goodness that seems like a lot of work!"??? Time's a-wasting people! Get on with what you need to deal with and ensure you are clear about ALL your intentions these days. Otherwise you'll be wondering later why you procrastinated so much!
• Mars is still helping out the Sun to take some action in what you intend on building this year re: your Sacred Service. Ensure you are looking out for your health as well. Mars can heat things up with our physical health if we haven't been looking after ourselves properly over the holidays. Or cause accidents more than per usual because you've not been exercising and allowing that buildup of energy to be channelled well, up and out of you.
• Cancer rules the stomach, breasts, pancreas, tumors: watch what you eat and when and how. Do you rush through your meals to get back to work already? Watch action shows on TV? How about silence, simple conversation, classical music to soothe the digestive juices into action while you actually pay attention to what you are eating? Be careful of the sugar habit - aren't you sweet enough just as you are? Do you have JOY in your life? Do you ALLOW to FEEL the JOY in your life? Watching a sunrise with the fading Full Moon does it for me every time!

Morning Full Moon and Orbs!

That's about it for this Full Moon! Nurture your crystals and sacred objects by putting them out into the Moon's light tonight and all day tomorrow in the Sun, to heal them all and inject positive nurturance and love for the next month of use!

Happy New Year and enjoy whatever comes up for you these next several days. Honour your inner wisdom (men and women!), cry if you need to, take a good long salt bath, and FEEL your way through these next two weeks as the Moon wanes back to the seed of new potential at the next New Moon!

Blessed Be!
