Full Moon in Cancer:
Emotions. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em!
How are you feeling at this exact moment and what made you feel this way? Are you full of hope or are you tired of feeling let down? What do you do when all hope is lost? How you feel at this moment tends to shape the way you perceive your tomorrow. And if you look at your emotions closely, you will see that there is always an underlying reason to them.
You may think that the reason why you were feeling annoyed is because traffic on your way to work was bad. What you may not realize right away about the real source of your agitation is actually a disagreement you may have had with someone earlier in the morning. This was just one example. There are many similar examples just like that. Times when we tend to forget the real reason behind our emotions.
"How you feel at this moment tends to shape
the way you perceive your tomorrow."
Only by acknowledging your emotions can you stop yourself from getting worked up, depressed, or fearful about your situation. Yes, you may feel shitty at first - knowing that there are certain things in life you just cannot change. The key is to stop devoting your time and energy to over-analyzing the ins and outs of your negative emotion. And to instead experience it without getting entangled in its stories. To stay with it without trying to control it.
From there, you can begin to understand your feelings better. Understand that feelings are your mental interpretation of your emotions, whereas emotions are your physical interpretation of your situation. By making your emotion conscious, you can let the message behind your feelings reveal itself. By giving your inner experiences your fullest presence, you will no longer be a slave to your emotions.
"Feelings are your mental interpretation of your emotions, whereas
emotions are your physical interpretation of your situation."
Happy Full Moon! The Moon in Cancer is forming an opposition to the Sun, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, marking an emotionally transformative and healing Full Moon in the sign of the Crab. This is your moment to re-learn how to stay centered in the midst of strong emotions, as well as deepen your understanding of yourself and others.
When life becomes difficult, you may be tempted to exaggerate your own despair. Instead of focusing on self-pity, create a list of all the things you can be grateful about. You may also be tempted to try to control your situation. Instead of wasting your energy on things you don't have control over, focus your energy on things you can actually control. One of them is your attitude. You can allow your difficult circumstances to turn you into an angry person, or you can choose to remain a hopeful person with a desire to evolve and grow stronger.
"Instead of focusing on self-pity, create a list of
all the things you can be grateful about."
The Moon in Cancer is forming a trine to Neptune and Mars in Pisces, and healing comes from accepting your feelings unconditionally. When you own your feelings, you don't belittle or beat yourself up for feeling a certain way. Instead, you open the door to knowledge and greet the message it carries as a whole. You accept the entire story and then act confidently - with your increased awareness, in the direction of clarity, wisdom and justice.
With the Moon's trine to Venus in Scorpio, truth is your guiding star. Sure, no one can know everything that's true. Our perception of truth can be different based on our culture and upbringing. Some mysteries may also contain layers of history that will take longer to unravel. That being said, there is a lot that you can still learn and explore. When you begin with the awareness of your thoughts — the understanding of how your mind processes the world, you can recognize where your feelings are leading you and move forward from a place of authenticity and openness.
"Healing comes from accepting your feelings unconditionally."
The Moon is also forming a square to Uranus Rx in Aries, and it's a good time to ask yourself, "Is my passion burning bright or is it burning me out?" It is not obligatory to have passion, yet, without one life can seem dull and less worthwhile. Having passion is not always about working non-stop towards that thing you love. It's about giving your life meaning and a reason to flourish. It's about giving yourself the vision to walk down a path of spirit, perseverance and optimism.
The Full Moon in Cancer is a time to understand and manage your emotions better. A time to consider your work-life balance to rediscover your inner equilibrium. It is also the perfect time to clear your home in order to clear your mind and spirit. Understanding that your home is where your peace should begin, can help you to declutter and make space for new energy. Allow your intuition to steer you away from emotions of the past and celebrate your return to the present where your inner state of love, alchemy and wholeness reside.
