On Saturday, 18th the Full Moon occurs in Cancer (at 10:48 GMT).
Cancer is the sign of the Moon's rulership, which makes this lunation rather special. The Sun, is of course, in Capricorn - Full Moon's occur when the Moon is in opposition to the Sun. This highlights the material/outer world contrast with the spiritual/inner world - Capricorn is the Cardinal Earth sign and Cancer is the Cardinal Water sign.
This is a time for looking inwards and at our past and taking stock of our physical and emotional needs - to take a reality check on our lives.
This is more so this month as Mercury is retrograde in Capricorn. Retrograde Mercury is always seen as a time not to do things in case we misunderstand or miscommunicate. However retrograde planets have their main effects at an internal level and Mercury is seen as the bringer of messages from the unconscious to the conscious mind. Now is the time to listen to what messages the unsconscious sends us.
Venus and Mars will have both left Scorpio by the time of the Full Moon and have separated from their conjunction. Both will be more expansive and sociable in Sagittarius.
Jupiter and Saturn are both in the retrograde part of their cycles. Saturn in Gemini and Jupiter in Leo. Jupiter's trine to Venus at the Full Moon brings a benefic influence to this month and it also trines Pluto in Sagittarius, Jupiter's sign of rulership.
Jupiter is also in opposition to Neptune - which tends to indicate that big ideas, grand fantasies, and a real tendency for self deception on a large scale are still difficulties to beware of, especially at the end of January when the Sun and Neptune are conjunct.
Also be rather careful in the first few days following the Full Moon, Mars is square to Uranus in Aquarius. Uranus is linked to sudden actions and Mars to assertion. Uranus/Mars is the signature of accidents - you have been warned LOL
