Hey friends! It’s that time again. Today there will be a full Moon at 11:07am she will be at her peak fullness. . Known as a “Wolf” moon, for because this is the time of year when villagers would hear ravenous wolves howling aggressively. They were hungry due to the scarcity of winter. In the sign of Cancer, ruled by the Moon itself, which represents emotions, feelings, intuition, psyche, divine feminine energy and shadow side. Because of the double emphasis of Moon and Cancer this one is really going to involve themes surrounding home life, stability, relationships, our own intuition, feminine energy and masculine energy finding their place together, potential power struggles between those energies and relationships. As well as it being the first full Moon of the year and decade there is also an eclipse that will be coinciding. We have been fully in its shadow and likely have been feeling it’s affects already, especially those of you with Cardinal sign placements. We have already experienced the solar eclipse in Capricorn on Christmas Day and now today we will be experiencing this full Lunar eclipse in Cancer. This will not be visible in North America I believe you can see it in places like India and certain Asian countries. However despite not being able to see it we will be feeling its powerful affects. This all started back in the summer of 2019. Our last lunar eclipse in Cancer was in July. Think back to July when the summer brings the typical eclipse season of 2 solar eclipses and 1 lunar eclipse. This was a very powerful and potent time astrologically/energetically. It really shook some people’s lives and changed things dramatically. It likely caused certain stresses, anxieties and dramatic events to arise, especially for those with Cardinal signs. Think back to July and the events that transpired back then. Have things been feeling in limbo for you? Themes from July are going to present themselves back again and things are going to start moving forward from this limbo state. This is the culmination of so many things that have transpired this year. There might be devastating, catastrophic and illuminating events that will transpire. It is a warning however there is nothing to do but prepare and protect yourself for some potentially harder times that will come your way. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a bad thing, and despite change being scary and sometimes difficult it can ultimately be the best thing that is for you. So do not fear change rather embrace it. Eclipses are fated events and there is nothing you can do but go with flow. Release what needs to be released and think of the lessons that this time period has taught you. If you are feeling anxious and not yourself try not to act on impulse and emotion. Rather take the time to ground yourself and remind yourself that this is all energy and energy does not lie It will pass and you will start feeling yourself again shortly. The last thing you want to do is act out irrationally and make the effects of the eclipse worse on yourself and the people around you. Ironically my family went through something major that started in July and it is FINALLY wrapping up, in a good way and for the better right around now. I won’t get into too many details but my husband is a Libra with a Cancer moon (double Cardinal) and he brought us all on one crazy ride for the past 6 months. Astrology is no coincidence. I would normally suggest to do a full Moon ritual but as I have stated numerous times, eclipses are not a time to manifest, perform rituals or other magickal work. I would highly refrain from doing any sort of Moon ritual. Rather than manifesting I would focus on the themes surrounding Cancer, family, home life, your relationships especially the one with your own mother. Are you happy with these things? What can be improved? What is your role and involvement with these things? This full Moon and eclipse will be affecting of course those with Cancer placements, but also Cardinal sign placements which include Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. You guys have been on an emotional roller coaster for the past 6 months and I wish I could say it was coming to an end but there are two more eclipses this summer in Cancer and Capricorn. After that you will get a break for a while.

As always full Moons and eclipses have very similar meanings, they both signify endings and new beginnings. Light is shed onto things that have been hidden in the shadows and depending on what sign it is in incredible transformation. It is also a time of heightened emotions. Be cautious of your reactions because you may act or think irrationally. This is a good time to use crystals to keep you grounded, balanced and steady. Some crystals you can use are Carnelian, Citrine, Rose Quartz, Red Jasper and Rhodonite. Full Moons are also a time of deep healing and can be overwhelming. Take the time to rest if you need. People often find they are either insomniac or extra sleepy during full Moons and eclipses. If you are feeling tired or not well definitely take the time to rest, stay hydrated and recuperate. Happy full Moon eclipse friends and remember to take this time for yourself whichever way you plan to.

Lastly I just wanted to also include a little tidbit on Uranus direct. Uranus has been retrograde since August of 2019. This combined with Saturn conjunct Pluto, this time we are experiencing is major. Life is changing and drastically likely for many of us. Some in good ways and some in harder, life-lesson learning ways. Uranus is the planet of innovation, rebellion, liberation, unique, wild and revolutionary ways. While in its retrograde period Uranus is actually more dulled, halted and manageable. Uranus energy is typically pretty chaotic and it can shake things up like lightning. During retrograde periods however we can focus on this chaotic energy and think to where we want to use it. We have better objectivity and a more even tempered approach and we think about changes we want to make, potentially around our own sense of self. However now that Uranus is going direct any changes you you have been thinking about will manifest externally. Because Uranus is in Taurus, Taurus which is ruled by Venus the planet of love, beauty and money there may also be an emphasis on outward appearances, money matters and relationships. You may get good financial news in the next couple days. You may feel the confidence to change up your appearance in a drastic or rebellious way. Now is the time to book that piercing or tattoo or wild hair style. The stock market may rise or it may fall. As always that is the unpredictability of Uranus. However now is the time to make changes if you have been wanting to. Do not put it off any longer.
