FIRE

ALTAR

The Sun is re-birthed in Capricorn Season which ends on January 19th when we move into Aquarius Season. A reminder that Pluto has moved into Aquarius for the next 18 years and so powerful community, humanitarian shifts which bring that which has been in the underworld are expected to be revealed with lightening speed)

ARCHETYPAL

Cancer represents the Mother (the Moon), whilst Capricorn is the archetypal father (the Sun). The dance of both create the powerful force from which all life arises. This full Moon is perfectly pitched with the Rebirth. We are now in the tender postpartum - not quite ready to emerge. Rebirth will arrive in the spring but for now we need to focus on the refinement and the roots. To acknowledge how important it is to honour the great mother’s wisdom of timing and to realise that in this great cycle of life how important it is. We have come from her waters and we must return to protecting the sanctity of these waters. Both within and outside of us. We are deeply interconnected. Cancer asks us to feel it all and clear the way so that we make begin again in clarity.

The Mountain Goat has two lithe feet placed earth side with two horns connected to spirit. With the Sun in its early beginnings the Capricorn carries it within its horns down the mountain to the earth. Capricorn gives us the power to see the journey through.

GLYPH

Cancer Moon

The Water Mother. Cancer is the sign of Motherhood and is governed by the Moon. This is a sign of home and nurturance and reminds us to connect with what that means for us. What is home? How is it embodied in our lives and present. Is it aligned with our soul longing. In what way can we bring nurturing and creativity in to create a home for ourselves and others. Is home an abstract concept? Can we find a sense of home in the sanctity of our relationship to self? How can supportively and compassionately mother or re-mother ourselves? What in our home of self needs tending?

ALCHEMY

Our Earthly water is governed by our Moon, and thus so are we duly influenced. Made of minerals, stardust and a lot of water. This moon may feel particularly amplifying in the sense of our connection to home and the emotional waters that it provides. We are brought back to the grass roots of gratitude and belonging. Do I belong in the home of myself

INCANTATION

In this culminating moon I release all that is preventing a new root to emerge and a new dream to take place. I claim the right to grow from love, to integrate lessons and forge a new way forward

OFFERING

If you are still in your bleeding years - have you offered your moon blood to the earth lately? Consider cultivating this as a regular practice of release to create a powerful connection to the earth your personal most potent offering, rich with stem cells. If you do not have a moon cycle then following that of the moon and waxing and waxing with it is a powerful practice to reclaim this for yourself. Any kind of healthful offering to the earth - bird food or honey will be a beautiful gift at this time

SACRED HEARTISTRY

What is being called forward as you rebirth? Are your thoughts and actions in alignment with what you are calling forward? What needs to be released with these emotional waters? What is stagnant, what has been lingering too long and asking for grateful honouring and to be freed from your being

INVOCATION

‘Fire is the seed of life-force; I trust this new expansion as it roots new ways of being in Earth and Water, in Reality and Psyche’

WELLSPRING

Build a well of compassion for yourself and others as you navigate the water realms of this full moon. You are now walking the way into potentially colder and darker realms before Spring arises. Once roots have strengthened deep down, only in perfect timing will shoots start to emerge.

Trust in the timing
