Cancer Full Moon: Call Your (Divine) Mother

The first Full Moon of the 2025 calendar year shines brightly tonight at 5:27p (EST) at 23° Cancer. She’s bringing an invitation to play Mother for your inner child’s hurts. I suggest you accept.

Full Moons are moments of culmination. This is a time to shine a light on what you’ve manifested during this cycle. You can look to the New Moon in Capricorn a couple weeks ago to see what’s been birthed during the short lunar cycle, and you can look back to the Cancer New Moon last July to see what you’ve reaped during the longer lunar cycle. The Moon is full, pregnant at this time. She is offering you a moment of pause before the release of the waning half of the cycle; a pause in which to really clearly see, honor, and appreciate the rewards of your efforts. Take advantage of it. 


Cancer is the sign of the Cosmic Mother. She is nurturing, intuitive, emotionally sensitive, and protective. She can also be dangerous if she’s crossed, or if her children are threatened. A Cancer Full Moon can feel emotionally full, bringing swells of feelings as the tides pivot from flow to ebb. It can also provide a little extra illumination in the form of psychic messages, so tune in for any pearl She might have just for you.

The Sabian Symbol for this lunation is A Woman And Two Men Cast Away On A Small Island. There is an idea here, to me, of intimacy, collaboration, and isolation. When a group of people find themselves living in wild and isolated terrain, they must learn how to work together, to communicate effectively, and to utilize their individual strengths for the health and survival of the whole. This Cancer Moon is suggesting you look at where you might need to mend your familial rifts in order to create healing and resilience for the unit. 


A conjunction with Mars in Cancer, brings a motivation to act on our inner drives. Just be mindful that you do so with the grace and conscientiousness of the Divine Feminine. 


Interestingly, the Sun and Moon are creating a Grand Cross with Chiron and Lilith, so you may also see evidence of your wounds being picked and your desire to ‘bite your thumb’ at your oppressors may be strong. Again, just remember to filter those urges through the wisdom of the divine Mama. Let Her energy guide you to a loving and nurturing balm for these hurts; one that also allows you to speak up about them, rather than allowing them to fester untended. 


Pluto adds a little transformational power to the mix, which could make this an opportune time to look up from your screens and really see how much progress you’ve already made. Bask in the glow of your success and use this awareness to catalyze your next moves. 


It’s a beautiful opportunity, this lunation. I hope you are able to find some true healing, renewed security, forgiveness if it’s needed, and a deeper submersion into loving intimate connection.
