Monday, January 17th at 6:48 PM EST there will be a Full Moon in the sign of Cancer. Cancer is a Cardinal Water sign ruled by the Moon and the 4th house (in your natal/birth chart). The Tarot card that represents the sign of Cancer is The Chariot and the polarity of Cancer (opposite sign) is the sign of Capricorn.
Cancers are the fourth sign of the Zodiac. They’re supportive, compassionate, creative, intuitive, and empathic. Weaknesses included being moody, passive-aggressive, spending too much time at home, and being needy. As always, check out your natal/birth chart to see where Cancer lands in your chart, every chart is different so depending on your placements this moon can affect you more or less. You may also want to check your Moon sign because like I mentioned, Cancer is ruled by the Moon.
This is also the first Full Moon of the New Year! Remember that the Moon’s energy is strong enough to work with on the day before, the day of, and the day after. I like to plan out my moon rituals a few days in advance so that I have all my materials ready. Check out this post to see what’s the difference between the New Moon and Full Moon and learn more about both. You can also read all my past moon posts here.
