During the Cancer full moon, it’s vital to be especially kind towards yourself, your tender spots, your ragged edges, your wounds. Your life is not an unending self-improvement project, and your heart is not a venture to be undertaken, mastered, or completed. This is a time to prioritize your own well-being and emotional health, recognising your worth and significance.

Take the path of least resistance when you come up against non-cooperative people or circumstances by working around them or walking away.

Downtime Now Required

Set aside your electronic devices—your phone, iPad, laptop, desktop—and go outside, even briefly. Open your senses. Shift your awareness to what you see, what you hear, what you smell, and what it feels like to touch the earth, a tree, or the grass. Align with the Cancerian frequency by being near or in water—a lake, a pond, a river, the sea, or even a bath.
We have become so addicted to numbing ourselves by being busy, so used to being activated and aroused, that we don’t even realise how charged we are through social media, electronic screens, the news- a constant collective drip of cortisol, restlessness, anxiety, and fear.

“Whether it’s drawing, writing, dancing, or sewing (or any other generative practices), create. It’s not only a distraction from your worst feelings; it’s a way of marshalling them into meaning.” Katherine May

Full Moon in Cancer Guidance

This a powerful time to set intentions for growth. It highlights areas in your life that need nurturing, tender loving care, and emotional tending. As the Capricorn sun reminds you to structure your goals, craft the year ahead, and handle administrative duties, the Cancer full moon empowers you to lovingly nourish all that’s growing in your life and urges you to release what no longer nurtures your soul.

The element of water frequently functions as a mirror, inviting you to notice what your life is reflecting on you. This reflection often highlights the areas where your emotions, relationships, or creative energy may be out of alignment or need additional care. It reveals what needs tending in your emotional world.

Buried Grief?

Is there buried grief that needs releasing, joy that needs room to dance and move, or soul expression that needs time to create? Are old emotional patterns or limiting beliefs ready to be released under this full moon? This full moon brings an excellent opportunity to connect with what nurtures you on the deepest levels of your being so you can fill yourself up for the growing cycle ahead.

Are there ways you need to nurture your body, your children, your relationships, your business, your home, your projects, or your soul essence? Does your home need more warmth and care to feel like a sanctuary? Does your business need more substantial emotional alignment with your values? Cancer asks you to explore your inner terrain in ways that support, love, and bring comfort to all areas of your life.

If you are not taking the time to do this now, you might experience frustration or misaligned energy. If you notice this type of energy coming into your life, take the time to ask yourself, “How do I need to apply nurturing in this situation to myself and/or those around me?”

A great way to nurture yourself or others is to slather true appreciation all around your life, especially taking the time to appreciate all the things in life that bring comfort: a fire on a cold night, a cozy bed, a soothing cup of hot tea, the embrace of a loved one, nourishing food, or a hot bath. By appreciating these small blessings, you can cultivate a sense of gratitude and contentment in your life.

This Cancer full moon is also perfect for connecting to your more profound emotional wisdom. Use meditation, journaling or quiet reflection to hear the whispers of your soul. Choose the one or two ideas you need most to work with. Intentions work best when there is only one or two to concentrate on in any cycle.
