"This Full Moon heightens your intuition along with your emotions. Cancer teaches that the two go hand in hand. You cannot access your inner wisdom without feeling your way there. If you shut yourself off from feeling or suppress your emotions, your intuition is also lost. While this Moon may bring up some tears and emotional outbursts, it will also give you great insights into what steps you need to take on your journey. It will bring forth inner knowledge that you know with your entire being is correct for you right now. It brings out your magic.

Give yourself space to feel this Full Moon. Acknowledge what gives you support.Then, with that support, sit with your feelings. Have a conversation with them and learn from them. Your emotions hold potent information. They can tell you what holds you back from your visions, what you need to reprocess to move forward, and how you can accept life as it occurs. Your emotions contain energy that can be channeled into creating the life you want. Feel into them this Full Moon and honor them. Honor your waves and the fluctuating Water element within you."

"Cancer is the lunar domicile, the sign where the Moon is at home. This is the Zodiac sign that is more strongly connected to the ebbs and flows of the tides, to the changing phases of the lunar cycle, and to the energetic and emotional shifts that happen throughout the day and month.

When the Moon is in Cancer, we are especially attuned to subtle shifts in energy, we are more sensitive to what is going on within us, around us, and with other people.

Peaking amidst the holiday season, this powerful and emotional Full Moon can provide us with opportunities to gain more clarity on what we need and on the link between our childhood experiences and our habitual emotional responses, our insecurities, and our fears.

During Capricorn season, a time of the year especially centered around cultivating self-discipline, building our legacy, mastering the space-time reality and the manifestation process, the Cancer Full Moon reminds us of the value of knowing ourselves emotionally, nurturing ourselves well, tending to our emotional needs, and having a support system."

"Cancer is a water sign. Like all water signs, it heightens our emotions and asks us to become vulnerable enough to explore our deeper waters. Cancer is the sign of the crab and reminds us that we each have a unique shell. This shell protects us from the outside world while keeping our feelings close to our hearts. It serves the essential function of keeping our subjective world contained until we are ready to share it with others. Without a shell, we spill our energy into the world without direction or meaning. Shells serve as boundaries but also restrict us. Every so often, we must break our old shell and grow into a new one. The full Moon in Cancer is the time to leave your old shell behind and form a new one capable of holding space to evolve into higher frequencies.

This full Moon in Cancer is a time to recharge your energy and bring you home to yourself. This kind of work doesn’t come from the logical mind. It comes from feeling. Allow yourself to feel. Give yourself what you need to restore your spirit and heal your soul as you prepare for another year. The full Moon in Cancer is a time to settle into yourself and allow your body to unravel. You may hold suppressed emotions in your muscles and connective tissues, which contributes to your feelings of emotional attachment. To allow your emotions to flow freely, you need to release your body and the energy it holds."

"The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature and its power is never diminished."

‍~Deng Ming-Dao

Upcoming on Jan 29: The Year of The Snake 2025

"The new Moon on Jan 29, 2025 at 4:36 AM PST begins the year of the Snake. Lunar New Year is a spring festival that begins on the second new Moon after Winter Solstice, when the Sun and new Moon are conjunct in Aquarius.

Snake is a symbol of wisdom, making Snake year the time to coil up, contemplate, and reflect. 2025 is the year of the Wood Snake. Of the five Taoist elements Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood, the element Wood symbolizes growth like a plant in springtime. This Wood Snake year offers the unique opportunity to quickly shed skins of the past, creatively express what is in the shadows, and move forward covering much ground.

Snake is naturally intuitive, elegant, and mystical. Focus is on the inner world, spiritual exploration, and new depths in relationships. Snake’s power is to quietly yet strongly pursue ambitions. Yet be flexible, not dogmatic, in this Yin Wood year. Yang Wood is a pine tree. Yin Wood is bamboo. Snake is a Yin animal who benefits from being flexible like bamboo, and adapting to change.

Snake year is important to shed your skin, meaning pare down material goods to just what are your best, such as a capsule collection wardrobe. This summer, truly clean out like Swedish Death Cleaning. (Google it.) Snake year is the opportune time for a massive cleaning resulting in less stress, less chaos, and the ability to focus like a cobra. Good feng shui is mandatory in this Snake year to live in a clean, organized space."

Sacred Space Cleansing & Nurturing: Cancer Full Moon Ritual

"The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned."

‍~Maya Angelou

The Cancer Full Moon is an ideal time to turn inward and create a safe, nurturing space where you can process emotions, recharge your spirit, and honor your inner sanctuary. This ritual is designed to cleanse and nurture your space, infuse it with intention, and align it with the comforting, protective energy of Cancer.

What You’ll Need:

• A bowl or jar of purified water (to make Moon Water)
• A spray bottle
• Sea salt or Himalayan salt
• Essential oils (optional, such as lavender, chamomile, or eucalyptus)
• Sage, palo santo, or another cleansing herb (if you prefer smoke cleansing)
• A candle (symbolizing the moon’s light)
• Crystals like selenite, moonstone, or clear quartz (optional)
• A small notebook or paper and pen for setting intentions

Step 1: Prepare Your Space

1. Find some time to tidy up your space, removing any physical clutter to invite a sense of clarity.
2. Light your cleansing herb or candle and take a moment to center yourself with deep breaths. Visualize any stagnant energy dissipating as you prepare to infuse your space with new, healing vibrations.

Step 2: Make Moon Water

1. Fill a jar or bowl with purified water and place it where the moonlight can reach it (a windowsill works well).
2. Add a pinch of sea salt to the water for purification, and a few drops of essential oil if you like.
3. Hold your hands over the jar and set your intention. For example: “May this water carry the healing, nurturing, and protective energy of the Cancer Full Moon. May it cleanse and bless my space, creating a sanctuary for my soul.”
4. Leave the water to charge overnight under the light of the full moon.

Step 3: Infuse Your Space with Intention

1. In the morning, transfer the moon water into your spray bottle.
2. Starting at the entrance of your space, spray the moon water lightly around your home. As you move, visualize the water clearing away old energy and replacing it with feelings of love, safety, and comfort.
3. Pay special attention to corners, windows, and doorways, as these areas often accumulate stagnant energy.
4. If you have crystals, place them in prominent spots or near areas that need extra nurturing.

Step 4: Set Your Intentions

1. Light your candle, symbolizing the moon’s gentle illumination.
2. Sit quietly in your cleansed space with your notebook or paper. Reflect on what you want your sacred space to feel like moving forward. Write down your intentions, such as:
   • “This space will be a sanctuary for rest and renewal.”
   • “I invite peace, creativity, and joy into this room.”
   • “May this space nurture my emotional well-being and support my personal growth.”
3. Fold your intention paper and place it in a safe spot or under a crystal in the room.

Step 5: Close the Ritual

1. Thank the moon and yourself for this time of cleansing and nurturing.
2. Extinguish the candle with gratitude.
3. Conclude by sitting in your space, feeling the calm, refreshed energy you’ve created.

May this Cancer Full Moon illuminate nurturing care for your soul.
