One would think under this Full Moon at 18° 26′ Cancer on 8 January 2012 at 11:30 PM PDT, how we feel would be highlighted but that is not the case this time. The Moon is the only body in water in a chart dominated by earth and air so we will be aware of our emotions without being ruled by them. Very nice if you think about it!

Mars in Virgo creates a harmonious pattern with the Sun in Capricorn and the Cancer Moon, allowing us to focus on practicalities and [...]

Full Moon in Cancer, January 10

Full Moon in Cancer

The first lunation of 2009, the Full Moon in Cancer on January 10 (January 11 in the Eastern Hemisphere), reflects light from the Sun in Capricorn and is a reminder we need to tend to the practical side of our lives. Perhaps this is the reason so many of us are inclined to make New Year’s resolutions during this time of year.

Capricorn’s ruler, Saturn, is just beginning the retrograde phase for the coming year, giving us an opportunity to review and revise what was set into motion in roughly the second half of 2008. For many of us, [...]
