Cancer Full Moon - January 9, 2012

With the Sun in Capricorn for this Full Moon, psychologically, we feel so ambitious, but our bodies and our hearts are just not there. We are feeling emotionally spent. Our brains are telling us, just charge ahead, and the rest of us will catch up. With the Wedge aspect from the Full Moon to Mars in Virgo, that might be true IF we are focusing on our health and welfare. As the Lunar Living article explains, Capricorn is the king of pushing through to get the job done. Cancer, on the other hand, is the home of the Moon, and the feeling here is that we would do a whole lot better if we just stayed in our nice warm beds or near a cozy fire and to pamper our bodies for a day or two. Of course, there are multiple aspects that are causing us to feel unsure of what to do. There's the cradle aspect with the Moon opposing the Sun, in a wedge pattern that looks a lot like a little ship, trying to navigate through these crazy waters. There is also the Mercury Out of Bounds transit, causing feelings of vulnerability and anxiety.  So much to deal with that we need to take a few moments recognize that we have all the power in this one.
