The Full Moon in Cancer

The Cancer Moon is the Cardinal Water Moon. It's also at home in the Zodiac sign it rules. The Capricorn Sun is the Cardinal Earth Sun. Normally these elements are considered compatible. The Full Moon (in any polarity) is the exception to the rule. Here, instead of being compatible, this pair is complimentary -- & each must recognize the needs & priorities of the other as legitimate to balance the relationship.

On the surface, this energy sets up a conflict that operates on several fronts. One is the classic confrontation between home & family on the one hand & professional responsibilities, career demands and public life commitments on the other. Each, of course, could be a full time job all by itself, but here they have to time-share, compromise & play fair when dealing with chronic pressure & finite assets.

Full Moon in Cancer

So, the Full Moon forms today ... around lunch-time / early afternoon in the U.S. Those hyper-sensitive to our surroundings can find Full Moon energies especially interesting, tense and exhausting. Sometimes other adjectives apply ... depending.

Both the Sun and Moon move at a steady, predictable rate through the sky, through the Zodiac -- touching by turns on all the issues that build a life. The Sun circles the Zodiac once a year. It spends a month in each of the twelve signs. The mobile Moon whips through his journey much faster. He completes a circle through the signs every month, changing signs every 2 1/2 days.

The Full Moon

The Full Moon in Cancer -- Opposing the Sun in Capricorn -- Balancing Your Private and Public Lives ---> Family vs. Career ---> The Full Moon in Cancer opposing the Sun in Capricorn restates the classic dilemma of home vs. career, professional life vs. private life, public responsibilities vs. family responsibilities that we dealt with six months ago.

Quick Notes on the Full Moon ---> It's complicated ---> Full Moons accompany a time of complex emotions and concerns. There's often a lot going on when a Full Moon arrives ... activities, interests and commitments on the outside, and ambivalence, confusion and a distinct level of concern and distress on the inside. Full Moons are not comfortable in the way that the New Moon time will be. Full Moons are times of pressure and division.
