Cancer Full Moon

Full Moon in Cancer 🦀 January 6th • 5:08pm CST • 16°

The moon is almost full, and it will be an interesting and probably emotional next couple of days. Cancer full moons tend to shine a light on our feelings around security and emotional support, so you can expect strong emotions to come up today. Maybe something you thought you were over comes back up again with the moon opposite Mercury retrograde, or maybe you're just feeling a little nostalgic. You can also expect heightened sensitivity to your surroundings and the people around vou as well.

Take some time to really listen to your instincts today, do your favorite self-care activities that help vou best nurture yourself. That could be journaling, taking a bath, cooking your favorite comfort meal, or being around loved ones. This will be a very cathartic, and possibly even a liberating full moon, so take the time to really tune in and listen to what your body needs today.

We are in the middle of Capricorn season, so we might be feeling more hermit-like, especially with 3 planets retrograde (2 of which are directly connected with this full moon-opposite Mercury rx, sextile Uranus r×). Retrogrades usually indicate a time of more introspection, so take some time to reflect on your emotions and maybe try to understand them better today, whether that be through journaling, meditation, etc.

You may also find yourself naturally releasing today as well. Don't force yourself to cry or anything, but keep in mind release comes in many forms. So that might be crying, maybe you choose to scream into a pillow, or have a good laugh, or maybe you decide to donate a bunch of clothes. It could show up in a multitude of ways, but the point is to let go of something that is no longer serving you to make more room for the things you do want to bring into your life.

While full moons are about releasing, they're also about things coming to fruition, so look back on any intentions you were setting on the new moon in Cancer back on June 28th, as you might be noticing some of those starting to materialize.

Be extra gentle with yourself today and allow what comes up, to be what it is 🌝
