With the Full Moon is in Cancer the focus will be on love, intimacy, communication, compassion, emotions, family, friendship, relationships and intuition. All signs will be affected but Cancer will be impacted more than others.
We will be feeing a deep desire to feel nourished, nurtured, cosy, protected, secure and safe. Especially as we will likely experience intense emotional tidal waves with sudden mood changes before, during and after this full moon.
Cancer is ruled by the moon, so when the moon is full and at home in her sign, we can expect our deep rooted feelings and sensitivities to surface and be amplified. The Full Moon always pushes and pulls emotions, but particularly so during a Cancer Full Moon.
Cancer corresponds with the 4th house, the house of childhood—correlating to the past, the beginning and the end of homely matters. Over this period we may be forced to look at our own role as a parent, or how we are/were parented, or both. Our parental instincts bring forth our defensive and fiercely protective reactions and we will awaken to overly possessive and controlling behaviors.
While the moon is shining a light on our feelings and evoking deep truths, we can work with the electrifying energy so our intuition and insight is magnified. We will be feeling more alert and have greater clarity about everything and everyone in our lives and this may bring breakthroughs and epiphanies, and we may not like what we are shown. If we witness sides to others that offend or shock us, we could easily become reactive and temporarily lose ourselves in anger or aggression.
Emotions can explode and raw “truths” and secrets may spill out as we are tempted to release our frustrations. However we will feel better in the long term if we try to show understanding , consideration and compassion rather than erupt in a dramatic and confrontational manner.
When we are triggered we may not react in a way that is true to our current circumstances. What we may think is an accurate response, quite often, is a delayed reaction to an accumulation of what has happened in the past, rather than what is happening in the present moment.
The Sun and Pluto in Capricorn are opposite the Full Moon, amplifying this potent energy. Pluto, the planet of transformation, is the most intense and perceptive planet in our solar system and will be encouraging us to let go of control, past trauma, irrational fears and insecurities. Pluto is a natural investigator and truth-seeker and will be showing us areas where we have been caught up in delusions and struggling between what is reality and fiction.
It also allows us to see where we have become entangled in power struggles and imbalances, particularly where there are obsessions or addictions to certain thoughts, patterns or people.
We are then able to understand which relationships or behaviors have been keeping us stuck and we can release our Cancer crab grip on all we have been clinging tightly to.
This is a time to communicate lovingly and respectfully and to think twice about how we have treated others, particularly those with whom we have held back emotions, played power games or used manipulation and silent treatment. If people are important to us it is the time to tell them, or if someone is unhealthy for us to be around, we can compassionately let go of dynamics that are out of alignment, whether with friends, family members or more intimate relationships.
This Full Moon will likely be a turning point for connections that are caught up in power struggles or where one person is putting in very little effort, bringing on a sense of rejection or abandonment. We will clearly see where it is vital that we, or others, show more affection and open up or realise it is time to release the hold, let go and finally receive closure where energies aren’t respectful or reciprocated.
Whatever we decide, this Full Moon opposite Pluto is supporting our evolution and bringing permanent transformation or endings to thoughts, habits, patterns, behaviors or possibly entire relationships.
