Full Moon in Cancer: Activating a Cardinal Grand Cross



On Thursday ( January 12th 2017 at 3:34 AM) there will be a Full Moon in Cancer. There is so much going on around this Full Moon as it is activating a grand cross. A lot of energy we have been dealing with is coming to a head and there is a lot culminating at this time. It's a sensitive time with the Moon in it's home sign of Cancer and it's a time of release since it is a Full Moon. 

The grand cross is taking place in Cardinal signs. Cardinal energy is the modality of initiation, so theres a lot of high energy right now. We just got out of Mercury retrograde, so after that period of slowing down we've now got a lot of energy that wants to move forward in many directions.

Moon in Cancer 
The Moon in Cancer is activating one part of the grand cross. The Moon is the emotional part of this configuration and the part that wants to nurture and take care of others since it is in Cancer. 

Sun in Capricorn/Pluto
The Capricorn part of the grand cross on the other hand wants us to set some boundaries when it comes to giving to others. It's urging us to be practical and get done what needs to be done. Pluto is a transformational influence here urging us to transform these relationship dynamics while alerting us as to what needs to be done. 

Jupiter in Libra
The Libra part of the grand cross is making us look at relationships and desire them. It's making us look at the 'we'. What needs to be done to have compromise and harmony? We are being urged towards growth in regards to partnership. 

Uranus in Aries
The Aries part of the grand cross is making us desire independence. It's urging us to express ourselves as unique individuals. Uranus in this grand cross gives us a bit of a restlessness. All these cardinal planets in general are also contributing to restlessness because there is such a strong desire to move forward and we are being pulled in different directions. 

Chiron and Saturn 
Chiron and Saturn are not part of the grand cross, but they are being activated around the Moon at this time as well. Chiron is urging us to deal with and release emotional wounds while Saturn is similar to the Capricorn part of the grand cross in that is bringing up stuff that 'needs to be  done'. Saturn may be quite helpful in helping us be a little more structured at this time as well. Saturn and Chiron are even making an aspect to each other, which is a bit difficult because it is a square. This is making it a bit difficult to deal with our wounds, but the Full Moon is giving us the opportunity to let go if we so choose. 

Phew! This is a high energy Full Moon with a lot of planets involved. It may seem that we are being pulled in different directions, but the key is to try to find the right balance between everything. There is a lot of change and new beginnings though right around the corner, we are just getting amped up and prepared for it.
