When the Moon is in Cancer, we are likely to be extra emotional and ultra sensitive. Full Moons are always in the opposite sign as the Sun and occur at the most energetically potent time of the month which heightens our emotions. Oppositions are opportunities to see opposing points-of-view. With the opposition of the Moon in Cancer and Sun in Capricorn, your spiritual and emotional natures may be intensified or you may also feel more critical and judgmental. Remember to be kind to loved ones even though you may feel agitated.

In addition to this opposition there is a stress producing Grand Cross or Grand-Square which includes an additional opposition. So the one between Jupiter in Libra and Uranus in Aries and the other being the Sun/Plutoconjunction in Capricorn opposite the Moon in Cancer. Within the 2 oppositions are 4 squares made up of hard aspects between the same planets. Oppositions and squares produce tension and are considered difficult aspects. They bring out frustration and instability and expose conflicts around politics, beliefs, and the collapsing structures around the globe. This is a time when that which has been hidden from view may come seeping forth revealing things which can cause major upset and change in big business and the future directions of important organizations and governments. On a personal level, this is an appropriate time to reevaluate the structures and relationships in your own life. Do they continue to support our highest good? If not, time to let it go.

There is a helpful aspect with Venus in Pisces conjunctNeptune. This is positive and helps mitigate the heaviness of the Grand Cross. These are strong feminine energies and support the feelings and integration of compassion and love which can be manifest in the form of showing greater love to others and also creative expression in the form of art and music.

Also, Saturn in Sagittarius is in positive aspects (a trine and sextile) to Jupiter and Uranus. These aspects are helpful and open us up to understanding on a higher level, this energy serves to inspire greater cooperative efforts for re-structuring organizations and political ideals for the benefit of humanity.

Take the time to journal your feelings and impressions. It is always helpful to validate and learn about the ways spirit works with you.

A Full Moon symbolizes the fulfillment of the seeds planted at a previous New Moon or some earlier cycle. Each Full Moon reminds us of the seeds that may be coming to maturity, to their fullness, to fruition, to the place where the fruits or gifts are received. It may seem that fulfillment of our goals takes a long time. Some intentions may manifest within the two week phase prior to the next New or Full Moon. Some however, depending on their complexity, may take a much longer time. Just remember that our thoughts and emotions set Universal Action in motion and much work takes place behind the scenes as everything is orchestrated for fulfillment. Keep visualizing your goals as though you have already attained them and they will eventually manifest. Do not concern yourself with current conditions or worry about controlling it. The universe takes care of those details. Just keep seeing what you want, and move in that direction with your actions, and give no energy to what you don’t want. Patience is required.
