Though the Moon in December was technically fully effaced in Gemini on the 17th, it quickly moved into Cancer 9 hours later and magnified the still powerful effects of being in it's most resonant home. Today however, Moonrise is at 7:06 pm and full by 10:52 pm. She has already occupied Cancer for two days and the differences of these two Moon transits will be felt.
Take the themes of the Moon and Cancer, put them into a tea cup and pour warm water on top. You'll find yourself immersed in a brew of instinct, intuition and emotion. Psychic precognition and spirituality will be on your mind. Allow your passion and sensuality to guide you with gentle, compassionate hands. Retreat into your home and do water rituals like bathing with herbs, fertilize your garden, make soup and drink tea. Embrace the water. Hold it. Go under and open your eyes. Feel the liquid shawls slide across your skin and rest in the weight of it's waves. This is a very feminine influence. Cancer is the nurturer. She mothers everyone and everything. She tends and takes care of those in need. She rules the reproductive organs. She has a giant heart that looks like a shell. There's a pearl inside. Wear it with silver and abalone. Resonate with the magnetic energy that is the strongest. Gather it up like string and let it drive you, uninhibited.
There are also subtle flares that can be felt with all Full Moons, coming from the influences of the angles made between the Moon in full (it's most powerful position) and the other planets. These are called aspects. They form squares, triangles and diametrically opposed lines.
- Moon square Mars | Challenging influence felt with freedom, restraint, expansion, travel, exploration and physical activity.
- Moon opposition Mercury | Polarizing or magnetic influence felt towards introvert | extrovert, mental activities or study, invention, learning, new concepts and ideas.
- Moon trine Saturn | Harmonizing influence towards challenges and limitations, problem solving, lessons and morals.
These are fleeting aspects that will shift every few days but whose effects are powerful when added to a Full Moon equation. Keys to understanding Astrology are drawn by looking into the areas of our life that become illuminated each day, month and year. It allows us to get a deeper understanding as to why themes in our life continue to repeat and why we feel drawn or compelled to activities, moods, objects and elements. Life is too short to waste a Full Moon - go out and jump in the water!
