Full Moon in Cancer at 13°
What it means?
Release past emotions that are preventing you from moving forward, especially around grudges or family/ancestral history. Look at where you leak emotional boundaries or over give care to others without reciprocity. This Full Moon opposes Mars & Venus so resentments or passionate emotions around relationships/connections may arise. Cancer Full Moons usually happen around the holiday times after spending time with family during the season of giving and caring for others.
Celebrate how far you’ve come in embracing your sensitivity, your motherly side, and the ways you nurture yourself.
Heal your inner teenager.

Deeper Dive
Why pay attention to this full moon?
Emotions may be heightened, and you may feel more open hearted than usual. Lean into that to deepen your connections and see what happens when you let your crab claws down.
Full moons happen when the Sun and Moon are on opposite sides of Earth, placing them in opposite zodiac signs (or sister signs on the same axis). This contrast of Cancer and Capricorn embodies the need for both emotion and stoicism. As the Sun in Capricorn opposes the Moon in Cancer, we're reminded to honor both softness and restriction. Astrology is seasonal and the signs reflect what was observed in nature.
Cancer starts the summer solstice, a season of more sunshine and beach days to nurture ourselves after a busy Spring. While Capricorn starts the winter solstice, a sobering time to assess scarce resources during harsh cold winters and impose restrictions to survive.
