Full Moon in Cancer 2009

Posted on | January 11, 2009 | 1 Comment

Yesterday at 10:27pm EST, the full moon was in Cancer. I am trying to keep with my new practice of doing Touch Drawing at the new and full moons.

Prior to my session, I wanted to set an intention and started with a little thinking about the planets, signs, and houses influencing this time. I am timing this work, which is good for communicating with subconscious and/or soul, with lunar energy — a natural dovetailing of energies. This time we have double Moon influence as Cancer is ruled by the Moon.
Moon: emotional response, subconscious energy patterns, deep emotional needs
Cancer: sensitivity, domesticity, protection, family-oriented, home

Lisa Dale Miller over at AstroWisdom.com says:

This is that once a year when the Full Moon is posited in the heartful astrological sign it rules, making the force of love and trust so abundant that the heart just naturally opens… Make this a “get real and get committed” Full Moon: a Moon for setting an intention to love yourself and your partner/family even through the hard times.

Cancer is cardinal water — the active, initiative aspect of emotional, intuitive energy. I’m thinking a spring pouring from the depths of the earth to begin life as a river. I’m thinking someone who actively nurtures something in the beginning of life — you know, like a mother.

I set my intention as a question to my Younger Self:

What does love and nurturing in my life look like?
