Full Moon in Cancer

Cancer Full Moon

The full moon happened yesterday, December 26th. The moon is in the sign of Cancer. Cancer is a water sign that doesn't shy away from their emotions. I have a Cancer ascendant, so the last thing that I'm going to do is spread negativity about a Cancer. You may notice that you're involuntarily exploring how you feel about things. My best advice is to let it happen. Emotions are meant to be felt and released. From experience, releasing those emotions at the moment hurts less than saving them.

Releasing Ritual

I usually have a small ritual that I will do each full moon. I'll start with cleaning my house and donating any items I no longer use. Once my space is clean, I will meditate. Connecting with nature is ideal, but you may want to check weather conditions first.

The next part of the ritual would be your shadow work. If journaling or meditation is something that you do regularly, you may already know what to release. If you're new to this, take some time to consider the areas of life that hold you back. With the moon being in Cancer, consider blocks:

• Healing Blocks
• Spiritual Blocks
• Emotional Blocks
• Creative Blocks
• Self-limiting Beliefs
• Attachments and Relationships
• Expectations and Control

Once you know what you'd like to work on, make a list. Write out a statement that brings this into the present. (I release... or I am no longer tied to...) You will find yourself gradually working on these things. The main takeaway from this is that it doesn't have to be perfect. You will be on the right path. Your intuition will bring you back if you stray.

After your list is complete, burn or destroy it. From here, I journal a list of gratitude. I like to reset my energy once I'm finished. I'll take a bath or do something fun to balance out. Focusing on anything for too long causes resistance to flow. Feel free to make this your own. Your process should be as unique as you and your journey.
