January 2018 provides a number of extraordinary astrological
events. Tonight’s SuperMoon (A SuperMoon or Perigee is when the Moon is closest
to earth, making it look larger than normal and providing greater luminance or
brightness) is one of the two SuperMoons this month. A Blue Moon (Blue Moons
are extra full moon in a month) and a total lunar eclipse (the first one in the
last 150 years). The current Full Moon is in the sign of Cancer or the Wolf
Moon as it is known to some Native American cultures
Cancer, in astrology, governs issues important the Moon;
nursing, nurturing, home, emotions and sentiments. A highly intuitive sign,
Cancer Also rules over psychic phenomena and concerns making them very
prescient. At their best, Cancers are adaptive, dependable and caring. At their
worse, they are moody, smothering and possessive
The Moon, as a planet in astrology, is concerned with physical
and emotional needs such as food, security, and emotional support. It is the
Rulership or the ruling planet of the sign of Cancer
When planets connect with a sign it has “Rulership” over, it
strengths the effects of that sign, meaning you may feel its effect much
stronger. So with the Moon’s entry into Cancer, you may require more food, the
need to be in a familiar, comfortable environment, the avoidance stress and
confrontation and so on.
Full moons lend their waxing energies to endeavors and
activities, making them good times to start businesses, projects and emotional
commitments. With Moon at its strongest placement, this is a good time for
planning and preparations for the coming year. Because of the doubling effect
of the Moon (the Moon is responsible for psychic phenomena), this is also an
ideal time for divinations or psychic readings, as such energies will be greatly
enhanced. The caveat is that this is also an intensely, emotional transit, so
you should be to ready to engage in activities that offer grounding, calming
influence.
Cancer, it might be helpful, at
this time, to dwell upon some of the things you hope to accomplish this year,
using this intuition and feelings to help determine which paths will best serve
you. Let the transit aid you in determining what matters most.
Capricorn, the demands of this Moon
will ask you to explore your feelings with regards to your needs. What
ambitions, efforts and requirement will best serve you and which will not? Let
the next two days give an indication of what you should work upon into the days
ahead.
Libra and Aries,
addressing some matter you’ve overlooked or neglected may play an important
part of the next few weeks. As you seek to discern those particular concerns,
secure that which strengthens and reinforces you.
The Wolf Full Moon treads winters pathways, may it seek and find
that which feeds you. In the compass of this Cancer moon, may all your needs be
met and secured.
