Our 1st Full Moon of 2023

Hello Beautiful Souls!

Welcome to our 1st Full Moon of 2023!

The Cancer Full Moon will be at 16 degrees, which is a Cancer degree point. So lots to unpack. The Moon brings themes of our emotional needs and how we experience safety in our emotional body and our physical vessels. This could bring up some hidden material deep within our subconscious minds.

The themes are what makes us feel safe to express our emotions and our needs. You may feel more sensitive and comfortable in our intuitive nature. We might feel more connected to our feminine energies in our charts. 

Childhood memories could emerge, bringing a waves of triggers around this theme. This is because the Moon is in a conversation with Chiron (our wounds) and there may be triggers just sitting on the surface of our consciousness minds today. 

However, this Moon is in direct conversation with Mercury Rx in Capricorn which I feel is a gift. Mercury Rx in Capricorn is working with us to strengthen our boundaries. Capricorn rules our teeth and bones, including our spines. This Retrograde is trying to help us slow down and listen to our boundaries. This Full Moon in Cancer is trying to tell us to focus on our own needs so that we may heal whatever is coming up for us. 

There are heavy possible triggers from Chiron in Aries and with the Moon being in Cancer, it’s most likely our childhood experiences coming up to the surface. 

As a massage therapist, I learned a valuable lesson. “What doesn’t manifest emotionally will manifest physically”. At the time, I had just turned 20 and was at a very different level of consciousness than I am now, but that has always stuck with me. And now with all the trauma healing and dark nights of the soul I’ve experienced, that expression has deeply resonated even more.

Trauma is stored throughout our bodies. From my experience, most trauma is stored in the jaw and hips (evidenced from my time as a  trauma-certified massage therapist and clients I’ve helped). 

Also, Cancer Moons want us to get comfortable with this energy. Crying releases stored trauma, so view any heavy emotions as a gift and allow this Full Moon to light up and make obvious what’s not serving us anymore to shed light on how to improve our boundaries. 

I wish you peace and grateful energies as this Cancer Full Moon crosses through your divine celestial birth charts. 

Thank you for being a beautiful reflection of my reality.

With all my love,

Sage
