Full Moon in Cancer: Monday January 17th, 2022
On January 17th, 2022, there will be a full Moon in the water sign Cancer. If you are a savant for taking leisurely strolls down memory lane, look no further! This Cancer full Moon will have the best of us reflecting on the past and going through our memories like a photo album in the attic of our childhood home. Now of course, I am speaking figuratively, however, this may be a literal reality for some of us.
The sign Cancer, is feminine/ introverted, meaning its influence encourages inner focus and reflection. It is of the water element, making its vibrational signature intuitive, emotional and imaginative. The mode or orientation of the sign Cancer is cardinal, adding, big picture, initiating and delegating to its list of expressions.
Cancer is the domicile/ home of the Moon and the place where the Moon feels the most comfortable.
The Moon represents our emotional self. This part of us plays a significant role in how we navigate ourselves through the world, however, not many people to get witness or experience this side of us. Generally, in order for us to expose this side of ourselves, we must feel safe to be vulnerable. The feeling of comfort we receive from our mothers or mother figures is the common example used when conveying the experience of what the Moon represents in Astrology.
When the Moon, especially during the full Moon phase, is in a water sign, Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces, the combination of the energy from the Moon and the atmosphere of the sign brings forth intense feelings, suppressed emotions and vivid dreams.
Monday January, 17th, 2022, may feel like an emotional minefield, where things you thought you let go of, resurface for further acknowledgement.
The sign Cancer encourages us to acknowledge our feelings and that of those around us.
During this full Moon, your only task is to allow yourself to acknowledge your feelings and what you went through. Some of these feelings may have been suppressed for many years, which may be triggering to feel and that is perfectly OKAY! Be gentle with yourself. Your feelings are not a fault of anyone’s, but an experience here to teach you something about yourself and the world around you.
May you find the courage to no longer fight any difficult memories of the past away with counteractive thoughts and finally experience them; and may you slow yourself down enough to be able to appreciate how far you have come on your journey. Experiencing your feelings and emotions do not always have to be a sad occasion!
Use the energy from this full Moon to help you find peace with yourself and your past.
