January 12 Full Moon in Cancer

The Full Moon in Cancer begins on Thursday, January 12 at 11:34 am Universal Time--or 4:34 am Mountain Time (6:34 Eastern).

We feel the effects of the full moon for the 2-3 days surrounding it on both ends. You may already be feeling some shifts emotionally! You may especially notice it in your children's abnormally volatile behavior.

This particular full moon, we have the opportunity to experience a Grand Cross: Moon in Cancer opposite Sun in Capricorn and Jupiter in Libra opposite Uranus in Aries.

Cancer is a sign relating to emotional needs and security and sensitivity--it is a sign closely linked to the domestic life, the interior life.

Capricorn is kind of the opposite: governing the exterior, how one relates to the outside world.

Jupiter is the expansive planet, the one that comes into play when we are observing the bigger picture and our beliefs and morality. In Libra, these things apply to partnerships, relationships, balance and equality.

Uranus is all about sudden change and breakthrough--and in the fiery and independent sign of Aries, that could mean a major breakthrough!

So between all of these things, we're looking at a time of renegotiating the relationship between the inner world and how we relate to the outer world, and facing our partnerships, relationships, and life balance with the possibility of breakthrough.

This is a great time to be examining these things, setting goals and intentions, and MEDITATING!!

Additionally, tomorrow morning, Chiron, the "wounded healer" planet archetypally, will be in Pisces, along with Mars, and trine the Moon--trine is good. This is a time of healing: healing the wounded warrior within, and healing through the power of Piscean-governed things like dreams and theta and so on. This energy can also help us tap into our spiritual gifts.

Tonight, tomorrow, and the next day will all be very good days to focus on your meditations.

Sat Nam!
