Full Moon in Cancer: Get in Touch With Your Feelings

Happy Winter Solstice and beginning of Capricorn season everyone! We start off winter with a Full Moon in Cancer that is exact tomorrow morning. 

Befor I get into the energy of the actual Full Moon, I want to talk about some aspects that we have had leading up to it. These aspects aren't exact anymore, but yet they make up part of the energy at the moment still. First of all the Sun and Chiron were square. That was about needing to heal the feeling of the void within. Then the Sun was in a trine with Uranus, which was about change and looking towards the future. Then Mercury was conjunct Jupiter, which is a very optimistic, expansive, exciting and again very future oriented aspect. Then Venus was trine Neptune, which is dreamy and romantic. All this energy that was the build up to the Full Moon, is still affecting us a bit. 

Full Moons are usually a culmination point and also a time to let go. With the Full Moon happening at 0 degrees however, it also marks a beginning point as well. With the Moon in Cancer it's definitely a time to let go of any feelings we have been holding on to. It's actually been a watery time recently. Lots of feelings! The Moon actually is the sign that rules Cancer as well, so this is totally a very emotional time. Let those pent up feelings go. When you do that, you can have a new beginning emotionally. You can be in a totally new space in your feelings. 

Now Full Moons are never made up of one energy. They actually are made up of the Sun and the Moon in opposite signs. The Moon wouldn't have any phases without the Sun after all. This Full Moon we are dealing with the Cancer and Capricorn axis. This axis has a lot to do with security. Capricorn with material security and Cancer with emotional security. Perhaps during this we need to release things we've been clinging to thinking they're making us feel secure, but they're really not. Discovering where a true sense of security comes from. 

The Nodes are in Cancer and Capricorn, so this energy will continue to be a big focus. Figuring out how secure we feel, dealing with security issues and realizing where true security comes from. With the North Node in Cancer a huge emphasis is and will be on feelings and our changing moods etc. We have to accept the emotional part of ourselves and pay more attention to it. 

~Overall this is a powerful Full Moon as it starts to get us more acquainted with the Nodal energy. This is an emotional time. Pay attention to your feelings. Let go of those that don't serve you. Be emotionally secure within yourself. ~

New Moon in Sagittarius and Mercury Direct: Time to Get in Touch With Your Feelings and Trust the Universe

On December 6th (11:20 PM pst) we will be having a New Moon in Sagittarius. There is so much going on this New Moon! The fact that it is happening the day Mercury turns direct is exciting, yet there's a lot more going on besides that. It sure is a great time to plant seeds for what you would like to manifest. Things from this point onwards are moving forwards! 

To start, I'll talk about the general energy of the New Moon in Sagittarius. Sag is a sign that is associated with the future. The symbol associated with Sag is an archer. It's a time to look towards our futures and start deciding where we would like to point our arrows. To decide what we would like to manifest. This is optimistic and expansive energy. With Jupiter, the planet that rules Sag at home, this shows a lot of luck and opportunity around this New Moon as well. Sag also has to do with beliefs. This means it's a great time to change your beliefs about your self and life to be more positive. Positive mindsets and affirmations can be really helpful at this time. 

At the time of the New Moon, Mars and Neptune will be conjunct in Pisces. This in itself is an interesting aspect. Mars rules the ego and Neptune is spirit. This aspect is the dissolution of the ego. If you are really in your ego energy at the moment and caught up with what you 'want' this will be more difficult. Yes, get excited about what you would like to manifest, but don't get so caught up with what you think you want that you miss what the universe wants you to have. This is a very magical and spiritual aspect on one hand. A time to surrender your wants and see what the universe has in store for you. Trust is so important at this time. Tune in and trust your intuition. The trouble with this aspect is that it will square the New Moon. Yet the Sun and Moon are 2 degrees beyond Mars and Neptune. I think that means we are moving beyond some of this confusing energy we've been dealing with lately. There still may be a bit of a fog though. Much more clarity than earlier in the week still. Just don't get too frustrated if all is not super clear yet. The clouds are still clearing. These aspects just show that the more you trust the universe, the more magical everything will be. Have faith! 

Some great news is that Mercury will be going direct the day of the New Moon. This completes a cycle of quite a few retrogrades that began in summer time and has really been one thing after another. I bet everyone is glad to be done with all of that! From this point forward we can plant our seeds and actually watch them grow! We will be picking up speed now slowly, but surely. There may be more clarity available now. More emotional clarity than anything else with how Mercury is situated. Something super cool will happen when Mercury turns direct. It will be in a grand water trine with the North Node in Cancer and Chiron in Pisces. If you add in the South Node in Capricorn you basically get a kite formation! Wow! Mercury is going direct in such a cool configuration. There's lots of emotion as all water signs are connected. In fact, the most clarity you may get at this time will likely be emotional. The emotional and spiritual energy is at an all time high! With the  kite pattern this is also a fated time and a time for take off! So get ready everybody. With Mercury in Scorpio we have insight into the depths and the shadows. We have the ability to see what we really desire. With the North Node in Cancer we can nurture ourselves and find emotional security. With Chiron in Pisces there can be emotional healing and an ability to heal our connection to spirit and to heal the 'void' within. So many feelings and lots of healing! While logic isn't highlighted at the moment, we do still need to maintain some sort of grounding with the South Node in Capricorn that completes the kite pattern. There are lots of emotions, spiritual energy and exuberance for the future, yet we need some grounding at the moment to have a foundation as we move forward. 

~The more I look at the chart of the New Moon, the more magical it seems. Yes, there still may be confusion and logic is lacking. The element we don't have represented in the planets at the moment is air, which rules the mind, intellect and logic. That means don't expect clarity in your mind. It's about your feelings, which can really be your guide right now and about trusting in spirit. This New Moon though really starts a new phase of moving forward. This is a time to be excited about what the future holds. A time to trust that your life will unfold in the right direction. ~
