FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN

Capricorn is work-oriented, about responsibility, authority, hierarchy, building your career, building structure, and deep commitments. The energy of this Full Moon is all about transforming, therefore look to see significant shifts in your career and the structures of your life. Anything that is not of absolute integrity will not last now.  This Moon supports spiritual growth. Change is inevitable and has to begin from within. Much will be brought to light, so the lunar energies can release your old ancestral programming. It is time to let go of Capricorn’s outdated tendencies and trust your intuition to do what is right for you. It is so important to practice self-care during his time. Capricorn is an Earth sign and will help stay grounded through these energies.

NEW MOON IN CANCER 

Cancer is a Cardinal water sign that represents the Divine feminine and is ruled by the Moon. Cancer is all about the family, maternal energy, nurturing, comfort, and the safe haven of the home. It is a time of increased intuition and how we relate to our emotions. It is great energy for cooking and gardening, renovating, or buying a home. The symbol for Cancer is the crab. This symbolizes having a hard, protective shell on the outside and being sensitive and vulnerable on the inside. Cancer is an emotional sign and you may find yourself feeling needy or being quarrelsome while the New Moon is in this sign. You can use the energy of the Moon’s phase to connect with your authentic self. Allow yourself to love and embrace your true self. Practice radical self-care. Try to stay centered and be as objective as possible when dealing with family members. Be gentle and kind to everyone you encounter. 

This is a good time to examine where you are and where you would like to be going. It is a wonderful time to identify what makes you feel secure and loved. This is not a great New Moon to begin new ventures or even make a lot of forward action, but rather a time to focus your energy on your inner work.  Take a look at the things you are yearning for and see what is lacking. Take a look at where you give away your power and align yourself to your true worth. Look at where you feel emotionally secure and where you are feeling emotionally insecure. Go inside, be easy and gentle with yourself. Write out a plan of action and have it ready to go when the energy shifts.
