On Wednesday January 19, the Cosmos treats us to a Full Moon in Cancer. If you look at the accompanying chart, see how the Moon takes the handle <\/b><\/i>in a planetary bucket<\/i> formation. Think of the symbolism of a bucket or pail: how much (or how little) can be carried in it? How light (or how heavy) is the bucket you\u2019re holding now? What are you ready to spill out (Cancer operates through the water element, after all), or how much more are you prepared (or not) to add? Are there holes in the bucket that need to be patched up?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Taking that bucket metaphor further, this Full Moon is about carrying family responsibilities (Cancer), or any number of domestic issues, such as caring for a parent or elder in the family (Sun in Capricorn). This is likely really hitting home (pun intended) if you\u2019re born with Cancer Sun or Ascendant. Since everyone has Cancer the Crab\u2019s tenacious energy, look to your chart to find the house with Cancer on its cusp. This area of life is calling you to rise to a potentially climactic moment with the fullness of your highest self. <\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
There\u2019s something very insular about Cancer\u2019s energy, and this is intensified by the Full Moon\u2019s presence here. The Moon rules Cancer, after all. We are all called to take responsibility for our emotional responses; and to look to ourselves, and members of our spiritual family, to strengthen the ties that will yield greater emotional and financial security. Allow the heightened intuition that this lunation brings to guide you, as you seek to make life more comfortable for yourself and others this week. <\/div>\n

Venus in Sagittarius and Jupiter in Pisces are symbolically connected in various ways now: each planet brings us into themes involving a journey, or assessing your philosophical or spiritual stand on varying issues. Because Jupiter is the planetary ambassador of Sagittarius, he currently \u201crules\u201d Venus \u2013 and from the sign in which Venus is exalted, no less. We may employ different vehicles, maps and routes, but we are surely all on a journey that takes us into wildly different territory from any one we\u2019ve experienced before. Your awareness of the direction you\u2019re being asked to move in will be abundantly clear now.<\/p>\n

Both Jupiter and Saturn (in Venus\u2019 home of Libra) take the outer edge of the celestial bucket, symbolizing a need to rise to the current situations in your life, and to lead through compassionate (Pisces) and gracious (Libra) example. Truth be told, doing what\u2019s ultimately \u2018right\u2019 may pinch, if the Moon\u2019s awkward quincunx to Chiron is any indication. And yet the reward is potentially great, if you take into account a trine from Moon to Jupiter, as well as a sextile from Sun to Jupiter. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s fascinating to me that all three of these celestial bodies are sitting on the final degrees of the signs they\u2019re in. Like guardians at the portal between signs, they suggest that, not only are there lessons about emotional maturity and social responsibility that we\u2019ve been pushed to master by now, but that these very tools we\u2019ve developed will keep us grounded as we enter those in between<\/em> spaces in our lives. <\/p>\n

Whatever it is that you\u2019ve been waiting for \u2013 even if it\u2019s just to move out of limbo land \u2013 is in the process of being born this week. And, while birthing can result in a miracle, it also takes time – and yes, some pain – to push that baby out, so to speak. Let\u2019s accept the role we\u2019ve played in bringing new situations into our lives, while ushering all that is ready to pass from our lives with gratitude and integrity.<\/p>\n
