11 Cancer 38
Here we are at the first Full Moon of 2018, one of two such moons for January. As we moved through the Sagittarius New Moon passage to now, we experienced the final hurrah of the clearing process that only the Sagittarius quality of consciousness brings. By “clearing process,” think of what it took to recognize, acknowledge, and reflect upon all that we wanted to let go in our lives. We were given assists through this process by the movements of Mercury, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, and Quaoar. As Stephanie Azaria described, December brought us truly to a watershed moment. Now we are at the Cancer Full Moon, which is the second of three “super” full moons in a row (the first was the Gemini Full Moon on December 3, and the last is on January 31). The Moon is typically 14% closer and 30% brighter during a super moon, making it hard to ignore. For our purposes, this is an amplification of everything that comes our way during the Full Moon. One of the cosmic consciousness symbols for Cancer is the river, and of course, the Moon is where Cancer is most at home.
