  • Venus conjunct Ceres in Scorpio (19 deg)

  • Mars in Pisces trine North Node in Cancer (26 deg)

Venus/Ceres

Venus/Ceres combines love with nurturing. In the sign of Scorpio, this combination is intensified to an extreme- nurturing and complete love that push the limits.

Since Ceres is also about the cycle of nurturing and loss, this conjunction can suggest loving courageously in the face of loss, or dealing with the fear of loss. Scorpio always has undertones of survival and uncovering hidden resources, so you may find that you access deep wells of strength and abundance you didn’t realize were there.

Whether this involves the nurturing of self or others, this is where you have to dig deep and commit absolutely to what you want or love.

Mars/North Node

Mars trine the North Node activates the path forward (towards emotional sustainability) with fluid/creative actions. This is about stepping towards something that feels (Cancer) authentic, but there’s an intuitive energy- go where it feels most natural and allow your actions to unfold rather than forcing anything. And this could also mean moving towards something that makes you feel vulnerable.

December 22nd: Buildup to Today’s Full Moon

  • Moon in Gemini square Mars in Pisces (23 deg)

  • Moon in Gemini square Chiron in Pisces (27 deg)

  • Moon in Gemini sextile Uranus Rx in Aries (28 deg)

  • Moon Void of Course in Gemini (28 deg at 9:20 AM EST)

  • Moon enters Cancer and VOC ends (11:27 AM EST)

  • Full Moon at 0 deg Cancer (12:48 PM EST)

The Gemini Moon makes some awkward squares to Mars (actions) and Chiron (wounds), signalling painful choices driven by impatience. The mood may be edgy and confused. Note that this is the buildup to today’s Full Moon, so everything will feel more intense. There may be a push choose or communicate, but use some caution- the square to Chiron suggests any choice will be uncomfortable.

The Moon’s last aspect before it goes VOC is an easier sextile to Uranus – there could be a minor breakthrough and a sense of relief as you move forward. Despite the earlier discord, once you choose you’ll have more freedom.

As the Moon enters Cancer, watch for a shift into intense emotional territory. You’ll be moving from Gemini’s intellect to Cancer’s instinct, so logic will take a backseat to what feels right/urgent/essential. Go with the mood and be prepared for feelings involving parent/child dynamics (whether or not an actual child is involved).

Cancer Full Moon: The Mother You Never Had

by  • 

I had a dream recently. I was in a room with a tiger. I felt threatened and quite terrified. I was crying and kept calling out for my mother. I knew she was nearby, but she didn’t come. When she finally arrived, angry and in tears I asked where she had been. She nonchalantly replied […]

December 18th, 2018: Sagittarius Sun Inconjunct the North Node

  • Sun in Sagittarius inconjunct the Cancer North Node (27 deg)

Sagittarius is about exploring. The North Node marks the path forward. Both of these energies are about moving ahead and yet today they are incompatible. Sag wants to leap into something new and expansive while Cancer is about the development of inner needs and security.

You may feel the tension between wanting to surge ahead versus feeling uncomfortable. Both sides must be honoured (the new adventure and your feelings). When the Sun is at odds with the North Node, forward movement in general may be difficult, and yet it’s necessary. Step out but don’t ignore your needs while you do so. The entire point of the transiting North Node in Cancer is to tune into what you feel.

You can learn something new/broaden your horizons (Sagittarius) gradually, in a way that makes you comfortable (Cancer North Node). Align external truths with the inner truth that resonates in your gut.

Full Moon in Cancer: The Family Turning Point

by  • 

August Wilhelm Dankworth

August Wilhelm Dankworth

The December 22nd Full Moon takes place at 0 deg Cancer, the day after the Sun’s Capricorn ingress (December 21st) and the start of the Winter Solstice.

This Full Moon essentially marks the shortest day and a major turning point in the year. The Full Moon is an ending or result but 0 degrees is a beginning. This lunation will embody the extra power of this solstice – the point where things are as dark as they can be and the corresponding climb towards longer days.

The Winter Solstice is a time to acknowledge (but not remain stuck in) the past, traditions and structures (Capricorn). Capricorn is the sign of patient ambition – the long, slow climb towards achievement, which we can see reflected in the climb towards longer days. But the Moon itself is in Cancer, so the theme here will be how external definitions of success are reflected in your inner life – how or if your needs are being met. How you look out for your needs. How you climb towards new definitions of security and safety that work for you.

What’s ending and starting now will take work (Capricorn) – yes, it takes work to truly align yourself with what you need (Cancer). It’s not easy to tune into this stuff, past all the layers/programming from the past and society’s rules.

This Moon makes no aspects to any planets so its energy is quite pure and the resulting emotions (Cancer) will be at a peak. Be prepared for major moods and nostalgia. Pay attention to what you feel – if you feel it, it’s valid (don’t let others tell you you’re being too…whatever). The Cancer/Capricorn axis is lit up along with the themes of child/parent, mother/father, neediness/authority. Parental/family themes are very strong, which is appropriate during the holidays. Count on at least one domestic turning point or conclusion.

Note that the transiting North Node (ruled by the Moon) is currently in Cancer and the transiting South Node is in Capricorn. While not conjoining this lunation, the path from past (South Node) to future (North Node) is illuminated by this Full Moon – stepping away from outdated definitions of security and looking at what really matters, in your gut and heart.

Could this approaching New Year be the one where you honour your needs, look after yourself or deal with parent/child issues? What inheritances are you stepping away from?
