Full Moon in Cancer: Foxfire

Full Moon in Cancer: Foxfire

Astrotoolkit™

  • Venus in Capricorn opposed Moon - nurturing and the idea of over nurturing

  • Mars in Capricorn opposed Moon - tender wound

  • Jupiter in Cancer conjunct Moon - feelings magnified

  • Saturn conjunct Neptune sextile Uranus - surrealism

Intimacy and unraveling. The Full Moon moved through tender Cancer and traces the full spectrum of human emotion. There are few things as strange and surprisingly natural as the fabled Foxfire, the phosphorescent glow of marsh gases that comes and goes in the forest. A murk surrounds this full moon with unexpected haziness. There is softness and tenderness, anger, frustration: a kaleidoscopic Viewfinder of emotions that are raw and human and of course, transient. You are deepening in your capacity to care and not detach, to feel with your whole heart. With Cancer, memories will flood your consciousness. You may not feel entirely here, as if slightly removed and processing events as they play across your minds’ eye. 

With all these inner planets in the sign of Mom (Cancer) and Dad (Capricorn), you are being called to deeply reparent yourself right now. In fact, with Jupiter’s benevolent hand guiding events as if by invisible strings, you may be attracting the support (financial or human) that you need, just in time. Just be aware that it may not come in the form you thought it would. This week, notice the ways you have been over-nurturing or under-nurturing in your life. It may be time for you to temporarily collapse your inner boundaries to feel what needs to be felt before you put them back up again to function. 

Venus/Mars/Jupiter angular to this moon bring up issues of security, money, friendship, love, but it is complex and not purely positive. Relationships are complex and safety is subjective, almost entirely based on feelings. If no one else tells you, I will tell you:

You are safe. 

The storm of outer planets in Saturn/Neptune distort reality outside your window like the Northern Lights, but nothing can affect the inner sanctum of your cozy burrow. It’s only light. Moon in Cancer is in its domicile, meaning it’s right at home in this sign and knows where everything is: the cozy tea, the soft blanket, the pet cat. It knows how to work the stove, the trick to locking the bathroom door, and the memories that anchor it to this place. Any problems can be fixed and hearts can be mended.

My father Jim Krzych died last week. He was also a Moon in Cancer (on his MC of legacy). Traditional astrology dictates that this Moon person will live a life of undulation and deep feelings that scrapes the lowest of the low to the highest of the high, played on screen for all to see. A path of feelings, music, poetry, nurturing, tenderness. Caring and being cared for. The MC Moon in Cancer follows a path that glows, attracting helpless things to it, offering protection. I am glad he was my father and I will love him forever. He was a truly talented songwriter and an innocent-hearted person. I knew him closely until I was 11 years old. There was a distance between us that I was too afraid to close, that I grieve and deeply regret, even though I love him very much. The way he chose to end his life was devastating. I truly hope he finds the nurturing he missed and needed. I hope somehow he knows that I get to know my amazing, long lost brothers now because of him.
