FULL MOON IN CANCER

Mother in the Moon Mostly, I’ve accepted my more solitary nature. This Christmas, though, after a long transit of Saturn to my natal Sun, I felt the darkness of the season keenly. Scrooge’s ghosts haunted me, and I found myself wondering whether I have indulged myself too thoroughly in my independence. Who, I wondered, would care for my husband and me as we age? And if I were gone, would anyone miss me the way I miss my mother? Am I a joyless Scrooge, on a lonely path toward a pitiless end?…. (go to article)

Sniff, Sniff, Sniff. I should not read this stuff in the morning. Great article and I am totally in the Cancer moon crying over everything.

Full moon today, here in France, now at 3:00pm…

Lands in my 3rd and 9th, with moon in the 9th. I’m finishing the first draft of a new book.

Gotta love this kind of synchronicity!

(Handing Nancy a tissue) There, there, Nancy. And… thanks! Tears are the sincerest form of flattery.

Rock on, Maria! You are my goddess of inspiration.

The Full Moon falls in my 8th… Besides making people cry, I’m finishing up my Top Secret Project this week….

And you are my goddess of astrological genius!

But seriously, I hope you’re making boys cry. That’s the best!

Sniffle sniffle. I’m a Cap with Cancer moon and north node in Cancer— ALL in the eighth house (hellllo April). I’m a disaster. I wish it were easier, I wish I could transcend and shine like the moon, calm and peaceful.

Lovely article on Christmas. I could really relate, and you helped me understand what went so wrong this year with the Family Christmas.

Hankies all round…..

Hello! Been following your essays off and on at Moon Circles for a few years, and have finally gotten serious about learning more about astrology. Thank you for illuminating Cancer and Capricorn thusly: Family Christmases tend to be difficult precisely because they amplify the natural tension between wanting to belong and to be taken care of (Cancer) and the desire to be taken seriously as the captain of your own ship (Capricorn).

Only too right. As a Scorpio, with Gemini ASC, NN Cap, Moon in Cap, and Saturn in the 1st, it’s been a long, long road to self-understanding and ease with my nature. I welcome all the clues I can find.
