Full moon Cancer ~ January 1, 2018

First day of the year and with a full moon, the message is clear; Release what no longer serve you from 2017 and move forward!

As the full in Cancer arrives, it brings forth our sensitive, sentimental selves with a focus on families, intimacy and how we care for others. All full moons direct us to address any imbalances between the two signs involved, and today the attention is on private affairs (Cancer) and the public eye (Capricorn).

The Cancer moon will remind us that there are all kinds of ways to be successful, and not all of them can be measured with a calculator or with how many photos or likes we have on social media. Family, community, and tradition are the soul-nourishing realm of Cancer, the essential counterpart to Capricorn’s desire for worldly achievement. When the water energy dominates the sky and especially through Cancer, it is a time to give rather than to receive, to let go of squabbles and emotional hurt and to reach out and come together with people around you.

Other things to reflect upon:

• What realizations have you had over the last month and what is the best way to proceed based on what you have learned?
• What do personal security and emotional well-being mean to you, and what is the best way to achieve them?
• What new things need to be initiated?
• Is it time to de-clutter your home?

This domestic goddess of a full moon also reminds us that cleaning our homes can clear our minds. So, begin with one area and give it an extreme makeover. Clear everything away then reset it with mindful care. Less is more, so be selective about the “collection” you display. Breath in the spirit of Cancer and bright blessings for the new year!
