Full Moon in Cancer: The First Crazy Full Moon of 2015

Happy New Year everyone! The New Year is starting out rather intensely astrologically speaking,  with a Full Moon on January 4th 2015 at 8:53 PM (PST). The Full Moon will be in Cancer and it is chock full of aspects with other planets. 

The Full Moon in Cancer is rather an emotional Moon placement as Cancer is the sign that rules the Moon. If emotions come up during this time, try to release and work through them. With the Moon in Cancer and the Sun in Capricorn, it is important to release things that make you feel comfortable, but that aren't serving your higher purpose or helping you realize your dreams and ambitions. 

Pluto is conjunct the Sun and opposing the Moon during the Full Moon. This adds a bit of harshness to this astrological event. Pluto's appearance at this Full Moon signifies that change is indeed coming, whether we like it or not. We will possibly be forced to welcome change and transformation into our lives. 

Chiron plays a part in this Full Moon by a trine to the Moon. This means that we will have to release any wounds we might have during this time. The goal with this Full Moon is basically to release everything that is preventing us from being successful in our lives. Emotional and psychological wounds are of course things that hold people back from living to their fullest potential, so it's very important to let these go. 

The Nodes play a part in this Full Moon by forming a Grand Cross with both the Sun and the Moon. This means that some karmic issues may come up. The North Node has played a big part in the cosmos recently and I'm sure many of you have felt it. It has pushed us to compromise in relationships, which may have been a bit frustrating. Once again during this Full Moon we have to release anything we have stubbornly held onto that is preventing us from compromising. 

Overall this is going to be an intense Full Moon. A lot of feelings are probably going to come up for a lot of people. The key is to be patient, to understand that you are feeling this way because of this cosmic event, and to release the things you are feeling. The big things that need to be released during this time are wounds, karmic issues, resistance to change, unwillingness to compromise and anything that makes you feel comfortable that isn't actually healthy for you. I wish you all the best and I hope your New Year will be filled with success and that all your dreams for the year will come true.
