The Full Moon in Cancer January 18, 2022
The Full Moon in Cancer January 18, 2022
With every Full Moon, Sun and Moon oppose each other, marking the opposing forces or polarities in life.
Each Full Moon is a magical moment of fulfillment and harvest of all that planted at New Moon six months ago, in this case the New Moon in Cancer of July 10th 2021.
The first Full Moon in 2022 is called the Full Wolf Moon and is located at 27º51 in the water sign of Cancer. 
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and represents home, the Mother, the divine feminine.
We can be more in tune with what we feel and are guided by emotions.
This emotionally highly charged Full Moon falls right in the middle of Venus retrograde and Mercury retrograde in Capricorn and is felt most strongly by anyone with the ascendant, planets and Lights at 24 to 30º in the cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn and from 0 to 2º in the Fixed signs Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.
During this stormy and emotional Full Moon, the Sun is in exact conjunction with Pluto in Capricorn, trine asteroid Ceres and in a Yod to Mars in Sagittarius.
This intense energy can create conflicts related to power and control.
Due to the passionate and powerful influence of the Sun conjunct Pluto in Capricorn, this is an intense period of transformation, but also a volatile time of upheaval, turmoil and violence in the world around us.
Pluto’s power gives a sense of power and control, but that is an illusion. The only control we ever have is control over our own actions and how we react to situations around us.
Perhaps in this time of crisis we hold on to what we are familiar with and seek comfort and emotional support in places that aren’t safe (anymore).
There is so much information coming at us. Due to all those external influences, we almost forget or are no longer able to listen to our inner self to understand what’s happening.
This challenging yet healing Full Moon in Cancer conjuncts the Fixed Star Procyon in Canis Minor and forms a trine with asteroid Ceres and the North Node in Taurus.
This planetary connection helps to return to our selves and connect with the higher, inner spiritual power.
Especially now that Uranus goes direct in Taurus again from January 18, 2022, it is about personal freedom and breaking free from everything that makes you dependent.
We are not destined to follow blindly.
We cannot feed others if we starve ourselves.
Fear paralyses our inner strength.
In summary, this intense Full Moon presents us with a cosmic opportunity to heal old emotional wounds and traumas related to the inner child, heritage, family and roots.
Do we dwell in the heaviness of the past or do we free ourselves with the strength of the Wolf in order to make the liberated step towards the future?
