Cancer Full Moon 13/1

mini reading for Monday's lunation

This Monday, the moon will be full in Cancer, approaching Mars, sextile Uranus, and trine Neptune. This will be our first lunation since the changing of the nodes, and it has a turbulent and dynamic chart.

Mars has made his retrograde way back into Cancer; an expected yet dreaded phase of this Mars retrograde period. Mars malfunctions in Cancer; the God of war strategy thrives with the sound and predictable, calculated and genius energy that Capricorn provides, and flounders in Cancer’s world of strong emotional motivation and impulse. The Cardinal water sign, Cancer is like a fast moving river, and Mars’ backward motion is kicking up long settled dirt from the river bank floor. Emotions and frustrations are expected to be high, but their source may not yet be clear. Whatever rises at this time demands to be felt and attended to; emotional motivation may not provide ideal battle strategy, but it can lead to cathartic outlets. Make a point to give yours and others frustrations the attention they request. Simultaneously, it would be wise to take a step back and consider the intention and desired outcome behind any newfound ideas or undertakings.

While weathering the storm of this full moon, tap into the notes of magic and eccentricity offered by Uranus and Neptune; while these planets can bring some trigger-sensitivity and confusion, they also bring lots of possibility for creativity, insight, and intentional change. A lovely time to channel your energy into art and self expression, listen to yourself, explore what you are able to access, get to know your current energy. With the turbulent astrology, it is wise to know your hand well before you play it, and this is a wonderful way to do so. There is some elusive luck in the air with the Venus-Jupiter square as well; in Pisces and Gemini, it can be found through connection and a curious, open mind.
