FULL MOON in CANCER

CANCER
– “I feel”
Cancer
is a water sign that represents feelings, nurturing, home, defense, patriotism,
conservation, family, sensitivity, moodiness, introversion, mothering, caring
for others, catering, property and home, interiors. Hobbies involving fantasy
and imagination.

Cancerians
are Moon Children who love to live near water especially the sea. They are terrific fun to be around and
sometimes enjoy being the centre of attention.
They adore their families and take great pride in their homes. They are creative and often psychic and many
can be found working in the healing/therapeutic and creative arts. When they are on form, they are great but if
they are having a bad day, watch out, as they can be darn right horrible! They then retreat into their shell and
everyone around them is saying, “WTH is going on?” They come out of their shell when they are ready acting as if
nothing had happened. Whilst this can
be maddening to live with, they are so adorable that we forgive them over and
over again just to be in their wonderful light once more. They are good parents and have a strong
connection to Mother Earth, they can see the bigger picture and are happy to be
activists particularly regarding conservation.
This
Full Moon is the culmination of what was seeded at the New Moon we were gifted
with at New Year. How are you doing
with all that? By now most people have
fallen off the wagon regarding their resolutions (I’m so glad I never bother
with them). Take time to use the bright
light of this Full Moon to shine on something you may have missed when making
your New Year plans. Allow Grandmother
Moon’s beautiful beauty to bathe you in lunar knowledge and open yourself to
receiving Her downloads; She just may have a tip to give you to help you for
the year ahead (particularly regarding your creativity).
A
Full Moon in the homely sign of Cancer invites us to shed our darkest fears and
to dance with our shadow side. Some
have found the start to this year quite challenging with an internal battle
going on with their shadow side. All of
this is part of the divine plan to free you of the chains of your past and its
associated emotions so that you can move forward boldly and confidently into
your year ahead. Another inner conflict
may be the urge to take a risk - yet the fear of doing so, the urge to take
that leap - yet wanting to stay where it is safe and familiar. This type of internal tussling can be
tiring, now that you know what is going on there is something you can do about
it:
-
Sit down where you cannot be disturbed.
-
Write down what you are feeling, just free flow across the page, do not re-read
it, just scribble and scribble until everything inside has been emptied on the
page/s.
-
Then twist the page/s and set fire to it/them (please do this safely,
preferably outside near a water source, in an old metal bucket is ideal). Ensure that every word has been reduced to
ash – you may find that the most stubborn fears/beliefs take longer to burn, as
they are the ones that are the hardest to shift.
NB
- you may need to use a lot of matches!
Don’t
forget that Full Moons magnify and amplify whatever is going on, yet all of
this will be forgotten in 2-3 days time.
Maintaining our balance is the key to getting through the next few days
and that may be challenging at times.
January
has brought realisations after last year’s continual clearance. You may start to look around your life and
the people in it and realise that actually you have changed, and no doubt they
have changed, and perhaps it is time to move on. Take time before taking action.
Ensure that you are attuned to your inner self for guidance on this. Don’t allow yourself to stay because of
guilt/have to’s/shoulds/everyone expects me to’s. This is what the Winter Moons are all about, taking time to go
deep inside to sort out what is right for ourselves and our lives in this brand
new year. If you start to feel confused
and tangled emotionally, take yourself out for a long walk and connect with
Nature, it will clear your head and perspective and refresh you.
And
there are a lot of Ass’s about – yep those that ass-ume. Because many are unaware or don’t understand
the inner process they are going through, they are projecting outwards and
making assumptions about all and sundry.
(Believe me nothing lights my touch paper more than someone making
assumptions about me!). We need to
maintain our boundaries, stay strong in our core, know that we are okay and
there is nothing wrong with us (it is their assumption remember which they have
fabricated and is not based on fact).
It is a phase that will pass.
Tests
about control abound this month and during this Full Moon. We are being asked to step up, speak up and
stand up for ourselves when necessary.
And if you don’t think you are a control freak just wait until one of
these tests shows up! It is a wonderful
mirror for us to see that actually, yes we do still think that we are in
control of our lives. One of the
hardest spiritual tests to master is surrendering and handing it all over to
the Will of the Divine. Take a back
seat and let them all get on with it (only stepping in if your line is being
crossed). Hand it over and let the
Divine plan unfold with you as observer rather than instigator.
Last
year was so tough on everyone that it is kind of hard to realise that it has
actually ended, it’s over – so we need to let go of it. We got so used to bracing ourselves for the
next blow that we are still on high alert.
Let’s give our adrenals a break and breathe out this year, it is safe to
do so and we are going to be okay. Drop
the shadows of last year like an old skin (and shake off that snake year once
and for all). Lift your head and take
in the light of this New Year. Lift
your eyes and look to the horizon, it’s time to expand your vision because the
future is ahead of you. Stand firm in
the present, give thanks for all that you have right now and keep your sights
firmly ahead.
One
of the positive aspects of Cancer is its compassion for others, and we are
invited to be gentle on ourselves and have compassion for others, as we are all
going through this together. It’s okay
to focus on yourself for a few days; it’s not selfish it’s self-care.
Questions
to ask yourself this Full Moon:
How
well do I look after myself?
How
well do I look after my Home?
Am
I giving too much to others?
How
well do I look after Mother Earth?
Does
my home reflect who I now am?
Am
I honouring my creativity?
Am
I getting back what I give out in all of my relationships?
What
do I need to feel looked after?
Do
I have enough time for me?
OTHER ENERGIES
CME’s (Coronal Mass Ejections from the Sun) caused
disturbed sleep and are still ongoing.
These caused symptoms such as - heart palps, headaches, tiredness, fuzzy
thinking, digestive disturbances (gastric upsets), body aches etc.
Full
Moon dreaming – dreaming always increases as the Moon increases. Don’t forget to make a note in your Dream
Journal of any dreams you have, especially if it is one that lingers around
several hours after you have woken up.
The
urge to purge has returned, I will be doing major decluttering of the house
throughout 2014. My priorities and
interests are changing and I need to simplify my life of what is unnecessary in
order to create space for my new creativity.
FINALLY
Use
Cancer’s home-loving energies to nurture yourself, your loved ones and your
home. Enjoy cosying up over the next
few days, eating together, creating together and playing together and let the
rest of the world get on with it.
And
keep smiling! :-)
QUOTE
Someone has said, "The Universe has imagined it even
better than you have." And we like to add to that: The Universe got all of its information
about what you like from you, and it has remembered every piece of it and has
put it together in perfect formation. And so, the things that are on their way
to you are so much better than you even know that you want. And as you allow
them, the essence all of these things that the Universe knows that you are
wanting make their way to you and appear in perfect timing for you. ---Abraham-Hicks
Blessings
to y’all
