The Full Moon In Cancer, 2022 Is An Opportunity To Put Yourself First

The full moon on January 17/18, 2022 will be extra dramatic as it aligns in the Moon’s most comfortable position in Cancer and opposes Pluto in Capricorn. The transformational endings brought upon by this lunation will push us out of our comfort zones and challenge us to face the shadows of our unconscious behaviors and to demonstrate our growth and maturity by letting go and moving on. Get ready to free yourself from emotional karmic cycles.

What Happens During A Full Moon?

Each month, the Sun and Moon align in a perfect 180° opposition on either side of the Earth (and the astrological wheel) generating a full moon that illuminates the cosmos. During a full moon, the Moon (representing our deep, intrinsic emotions) stands off with the Sun (representing our identity) in a tug-of-war-like conflict. We often feel sensitive but prepared to let go of what no longer serves us under full moon; this is the high point and center of the lunar cycle where the Moon has reached its maximum luminosity and shines on everything that is hidden within us.

Pluto Will Intensify The Full Moon's Energy

This month, Pluto will play a significant part in the unfoldings of the full moon, bringing a deeper feeling of transformation and turmoil that will make endings, closure, or letting go feel heavier and harder to achieve. Plutonian energy indicates that the hurdles we are trying to jump are repetitive and karmic; you may have been stuck in a pattern for longer than you recognize and now, the universe urges you to free yourself from this cycle and cut the cord.



Work On Your Emotional Maturity

The emotional endings indicated by the Cancerian full moon will require you to mature, face the shadows of your subconscious mind, and own up to the aspects of yourself that you don’t like or don’t understand. You might be challenged to face your instinctive need to protect or defend yourself by opening yourself up to another person's perspective. Or maybe, you’re called to observe how you react when your emotions are running high and whether your unconscious behaviors are destructive or avoidant. Perhaps it’s your nurturing essence that influences you to lower your boundaries around others, causing you to take on other people’s problems as your own and end up being the therapist-friend.

Commit To Growing And Healing Through This Karmic Intensity

The karmic pressure of this full moon will bring the matters you are currently facing to a climactic ending point where only you can decide to alter your behavior, attitude, or mindset to create the outcome that will free you on an emotional and spiritual level. It’s all about putting your healing into practice by facing the very thing, situation, or person that you haven’t been able to seek closure with. This lunation will bring a sense of spiritual maturity where you will find yourself making difficult decisions that you know are beneficial to your growth and future. Following through with these endings and practicing self-care will help you to stand your ground and not back out of things in the moment. Commit to your growth, own your decisions, and put yourself first.

Full Moon Reflections

Can you look at things openly and objectively even when you are hurting? Can you make the best decision for yourself without compromising your boundaries, even when someone else is hurting? Can you stick to your instincts, remain grounded, and do what’s best for you even when you come face to face with the very thing you’ve struggled to let go of in the past?

Use this full moon as a moment of encouragement from the universe that you can break the cycle, get over someone, make difficult decisions, leave a negative situation, and bring something to an end. You have to be willing to take the necessary steps and go through the discomfort of change, rather than waiting for things to happen on their own.
