Our first full moon of 2022 is in the sign of Cancer. A full moon always bring fulfillment and completion while also giving you an opportunity to release what no longer works for you, or didn’t work out as you had hoped.
You might say full moons are Moons of Promise. They bring times of celebration, as well as times of disappointment.
Cancers represent the Mothers and Nurturers of the zodiac. The Cancer Moon is a cardinal water sign ruled by the Moon and represented by the crab. The Cancer Moon has a reputation for being one of the most emotional full moons of the entire year.
The watery influence of the Cancer Moon exerts tremendous influence on the tides of the ocean. Likewise, your own emotional tides can run especially high now.
Cancers are very in touch with their emotions and can be some of the most emotionally intelligent people you will ever meet. They are sensitive and empathic to other’s needs. They require the same kind of attention to their emotional needs being met by others. This makes them highly selective about their close companions.
Cancer’s goofiness can make them the center of others attention. They may frequently be invited to parties as they can read other’s emotions like a book. However, seldom do Cancers get close with anyone too quickly. Cherished close relations can be few.
With feelings so tender and easily hurt, the Cancer native may prefer to live a single life instead of risking being hurt by a prospective partner.
As a cardinal sign, Cancers can be quite controlling and manipulative. They can be extremely self protective and like the crab, side step issues. It can be almost impossible to get a direct answer, or commitment from a Cancer. They can deftly play both sides and leave you frustrated and wondering where they really stand.
Cancer’s can be temperamental, and spiteful. Though they can also be very devoted, displaying extreme affection for their loved ones. Cancer’s can have a predilection for co-dependence. They value their close connection with family and friends. Protecting and defending loved ones is a high priority for them whatever the cost.
Cancer Full Moon
Your New Year tide can run especially high emotionally with the Cancer Full Moon. A lot that’s been hidden can come to the surface now for review and discussion as the Cancer Full Moon is exactly Opposite Pluto in Capricorn AND Mercury is stationary Retrograde AND Uranus is stationary Direct. Jupiter’s recent re-entry into Pisces adds emotional fuel to regenerative nature of the celestial forces at play.
As always, how you will experience this moon on an individual level depends a lot upon how transiting planets are aspecting your own personal planets and points.
Tremendous forces for revolutionary change continue worldwide.
Venus continues her Retrograde motion which began on December 19th. The almost Full Cancer Moon exactly Opposed Venus late yesterday (Jan 16th), activating and highlighting people (or things) that are up for review. Pay attention as much can get revealed that will prove beneficial to you in 2022 and beyond.
The influence of the Cancer Full Moon can be felt starting on January 15th when she Trines Jupiter in the early degrees of Pisces. She then goes on to Sextile Uranus (Stationary Direct) in Taurus and Oppose Retrograde Venus, then she Trines Neptune just before Opposing Pluto. This window of time can reveal much about what needs to be regenerated and upgraded for change. Could be a very emotionally charged period of time.
