What You Need: Full Moon In Cancer

Painting by Vasily Surikov

Painting by Vasily Surikov

There’s a rather intense Full Moon on December 28th, at 7 degrees Cancer. It will be opposing the Sun (and Pluto at 9 degrees Capricorn). Cancer wants, Capricorn says “Not so fast”.  Pluto intensifies the entire dynamic.

There’s potential here for needs (Cancer) to be manipulated (Pluto), or to manipulate someone else with your needs. If there’s something (or someone) that you just gotta have, take a step back. Remind yourself that oppositions to Pluto work by ripping away what you’ve been fixating on. Some of you may get what you need, but only if it’s been moving in your direction to begin with. You can’t force it.

Trying to mold/nudge/manipulate a scenario into something that makes you feel secure will not work. Neither will forcing your nurturing onto someone else. Instead, ask yourself the following:

  • Why do I need ___ to happen so badly?
  • What’s missing, and is there another way I can supply it?

Because Pluto is involved, there’s always a deeper meaning to be excavated. What you need may represent something else entirely. Chances are the person/goal you can’t have is just a stand in; you want what they represent.  

Those with planets/angles between 7-9 degrees Cancer, Capricorn, Aries and Libra will feel this Full Moon most intensely.

    I don’t know how it can get any more intense. Appreciate all the posts. I feel like I’m jumping from stone to stone, in the dark, in the middle of a deep, black ocean
    of water, with no idea of the outcome. Your posts are the stones helping to keep me afloat. thank you

    Happy Christmas! My natal Jupiter is at 8 degrees Capricorn in the second house, conjunct with my progressed Sun. What do you think this full moon may bring?

    • Nadia says:

      2nd House is about personal security/finances, but the Full Moon will be in your 8th House (shared finances and intimacy). So one of these areas may be impacted.

    I have the Moon @ 5 CN (12th), ASC @ 18 CN, North Node @ 0 15′ LE (1st) and Sun @ 17 CP (6th). This has been the WORST Christmas for me ever. I had no friends or family to share it with. I have been ostricized from my family for reasons I am not clear on and they will not fess up to. I invited them all for a simple celebration gathering. No response. In the past (& up to last year), I have invited others to my home for huge dinners and celebration. No one extended an invitation to me. One “friend” called me to say how much she missed my gatherings, but there was no suggestion for us to even meet somewhere to share a meal. I have taken your 2 questions seriously. I am asking myself, “WHY do I need to be included with family and friends so badly?” I am aware that being included allows me to feel significant and valued. I am at a loss on what I can do for myself to feel valued and significant while not being included in any social group or tribe. I am hoping you can offer me some clarity on this. It has been extremely painful to me. I would like to master this and move on. Thank you.

      I value you and i don’t know you. Don’t let your family scapegoat you. Realise your value and the mirror of the universe will reflect it back. See Abraham hicks website. Let go of the idea you need others to reflect your worth first before you value yourself x

      • Kalika says:

        Thank you, Beloved. I have received the answers to these questions and this is what I know. I carry others in my Heart, so I never feel disconnected from them. They do not carry others (including me) in their Hearts, so they feel disconnected from me. Realizing this, I know all value (mine, yours, theirs) is found in the Heart. We can choose to keep our focus in the Heart at all times, in Love. When we choose to look outside our Heart, we become disconnected from our Self, and thus forget our value. I am grateful for this posting in helping me find my way back home. Namaste.

      Yur 1st House NN (in Leo) requires that you must develop your own self worth…and it may require that you’re on your own for a while. Find a goal/direction in life that does not depend on others. This doesn’t mean that you’ll be alone forever, but with a 1st House NN you’ll be continually pushed back on yourself until you are able to meet your own needs. Sun (ruler of NN) in 6th House suggests this involves work, health, discipline and establishing a routine. Look at Pluto’s polarity point (the house and sign opposite Pluto) for more information on how you can develop your own sense of self.

    My natal Uranus is 5 degrees Cancer in my 8th house. Transiting Pluto in the 2nd is opposing it. The only good thing about Pluto in this house is that it is trining my MC. Could this offset the 2/8 opposition? Finances and job security are a major concern right now.

    • Nadia says:

      Pluto trine the MC will be weaker than an opposition, but the more you become aware of its energy in your career, the stronger it will become. You have to push to make use of a trine.

    in my first and seventh house while retro jupiter is almost exactly on my dc. channeling energies into art projects, as usual. best way to deal with frustrations of all kind :-)

    and i would like to include self esteem issues in the term frustrations; helps also to overcome the need to be included and valued by a group of people who don’t give a *#%^@)*^ about you

    I’m really struggling/trying to let go of someone, mostly in my thoughts. With Pluto conjunct my Venus, I definitely have been feeling the struggle with obsession. I’m doing my best to channel it into healthy activities. I’m refining my values and love standards, yet its tough. I’ve recently decided that I have to make peace with the fact that I strongly desire while pursuing letting go simultaneously. What if you are doing you best to let go? Does this mean even more of a culmination is in store for this week? I’m emotionally exhausted!

    Hi Nadia,
    Wow so intense. I dont even know anymore, i’m flipping back & forth between tense, under control, then loose my grip & get tense again when I think of reality! AGGHHHH! I basically have a full house wi this full moon in the 10th house. i feel like im being squeeeeezed when I add my current saturn return!!!
    Just posting it helps though and feel like someone understands this lol thanks for your profound knowledge & support.

    Merry Christmas, Happy New Year Nadia.

    *Sigh. Cancer Ascendant 8’24.
    Great questions you asked. I filled in the blank. Having a relationship with my mother, and wondering why she can’t accept me? Furthurmore, why do I care anymore? Very emotional Moon, hit me hard.

    I seemed to have learned this lesson a month ago however,I thought it it would be a good thing to nurture a relationship for the two of us. I reread the story with newer clues ,brought it to a head,got my answer and found the exit door.Its a long 2 year Strange story and the more i think about it,must have been a devine intervention with the cast of Women actors playing a role of enthusiasm trumps jealosy. Now I seem to be in the cross hairs of manipulation or worse ultimatums.Some just dont understand the ol saying” If you lovem set them free, If they come back on free will it was meant to be”. thats too logical for a cancer rising as they feel through life with emotions.
    Thanks Nadia for a one of a kind site.Best wishes for everyone in the new year.
