A gorgeous Full Moon will happen at 4 Cancer on December 26 or 27. It’s supported by an expansive sextile from blessed Jupiter in Taurus.

This Full Moon can help amplify a variety of important lunar themes – connection, belonging, home, safety, feelings, mood and memory. Revelations about what changes might be needed to improve these areas in your life, and collectively, might emerge.

Emotions and the Full Moon in Cancer

The Moon herself is the ruler of the Full Moon in Cancer, which helps emphasise the emotional side of life, and can highlight the importance of quality time with loved ones.

Caretaking, mothering, nurturing, however you like to phrase it, these themes of looking after that which is most precious to you, or needs the most care, will come through strongly.

Generosity and Hope with Jupiter in Taurus

This Full Moon will receive a supportive sextile from Jupiter in Taurus, enhancing feelings of generosity and highlighting abundance and fullness.

Since this aspect from Jupiter in Taurus supports the Full Moon in Cancer, a tender and protective water sign, look for abundance around feelings, and connection, as well as expressions of gratitude to do with the good in your life.

This Full Moon might help you focus on the glass half full, or make it easier to appreciate what you have, rather than focus on what you’re missing.

Messy Mars and Forgetful Mercury in Sagittarius

Mars – along with Mercury retrograde – in Sagittarius are off axis to this caring and protective Full Moon. So while there are issues going on, the Full Moon uplift, release and potential for healing is able to express in a more straightfoward way.

Mars and Mercury will make a couple of messy aspects to Neptune during the last week of December. Check out the Monthly Astrology Guide week 4 video for more on that.

Relief and Release with the Full Moon in Cancer

This Full Moon feels like relief – and release. It’s the first lunation in a while that doesn’t have an intense aspect from Mars, or isn’t an eclipse.

If you do have some time off around this Full Moon, opt for slow and embodied. Think quality time with some of your special people, or opt for rest and restoration.

That sweet sextile from Jupiter in Taurus to the Moon in Cancer, which has lots of friendly reception as the Moon and Jupiter are in the sign’s of each other’s exaltation, might help you heal something that’s been hurt. Or, it might support your journey to release the past and reconnect with the present.

As you do, you might uncover new excitement or enthuisasm for the future.
