January 7, 2023: FULL MOON in Cancer

The brightest night of the month is here once more! Full Moons bring energies of completion and culmination, and oftentimes, flashes of emotional insights that were previously overlooked. Emotions are heightened, and feelings may run amok once more with this particular lunation, so fasten your emotional seatbelts!

This month’s FULL MOON happens in 16°301′ of the Cardinal Water sign, CANCER, the sign of the womb.

CANCER (The Crab)

CANCER (the Crab)

No other sign in the zodiac requires emotional security as much as Cancer, the sign that represents our need to nurture and be nurtured. Archetypically, Cancer is associated with the energy of the mother – gentle and tender, but fiercely protective.

Being a water sign, the energy of Cancer is often described as emotive, intuitive, and deeply connected to the past. In the kingdom of Cancer, a home is not just a house, but an armour that ensures emotional security. Family is not just people that share your blood, but a bond passed on from a historical lineage, where year after year, ancestor after ancestor, life found a way to eventually arrive to the perfect conditions that lead to the completion of the puzzle that is you, formed by thousands of pieces represented by those who have come before you, from years and years of divine continuity. Ensuring that that line succeeds is not just a privilege, but a mission… and to preserve it, a sacred responsibility.

Expectations for emotional connection can plague the cancerian psyche, as it fights for things that matter deeply for the survival of humanity: family, home, nurturance, love. Apathy is very difficult to deal with, and sometimes, walls that guard against apathy can register every emotion as a suspect, whether it is warranted, or not!

The first Full Moon of the year brings with it emotional energy that may be overwhelming. With Mars in Gemini (words) and Mercury (communication) both still retrograde, callous words have tendencies to fly around like aimless bombs that wreak havoc on our field of emotions. Ruled by the Moon, lunations are never as potent as they are in the Cancerian realm, and with the Full Moon happening in Luna’s home sign, feelings tend to be supercharged.

With this full Moon also opposite a retrograde Mercury, the mind takes a backseat as our hearts take charge over our words. Ignorance and unintentional dismissiveness can register as cruelty, Honesty can feel like defensiveness, and tears can feel like accusations and arrows of blame. One thing to remember: broken hearts shoot the sharpest arrows.
