Full Moon in Cancer 2020

Today at 10:29 p.m. ET, we have a Full Moon in Cancer! You can learn more about the broader meaning of the Full Moon in the December 29th MoonLetter; these are summaries of what themes you personally can expect to be highlighted by the Full Moon, based on your rising sign (ascendant).

Aries ♈︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 4th-10th house axis, highlighting topics of public versus private life as well as the role of family. You may be considering how to balance these two; while gaining recognition in public, you could be be facing tension in your family due to demands on your time.

With helpful aspects to Uranus in your 2nd house, surprises or sudden shifts in financial matters could ease some of the tension. If you receive a raise, or an opportunity to take a paid vacation, this could go a long way toward balancing your public and private life. And, because of the recent Jupiter-Saturn conjunction bringing order to your 11th house of networks and friends, you can trust your colleagues and coworkers to pick up any slack if needed.

Taurus ♉︎

The Full Moon is in your 3rd house and the Sun is in your 9th house, highlighting topics of learning and education as well as spirituality. Your beliefs and opinions about the world might be challenged by your immediate environs under this Full Moon. What you thought you knew about your neighbors and community is mismatched with reality.

With a helpful boost from Uranus in your 1st house, you could be motivated to share your beliefs–and this will shock those around you. You’re taking on a Uranian persona, that fire-stealing rebel. The recent Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in your 10th house means that your reputation may be undergoing a significant change, but it’s one that you will earn respect for over time.

Gemini ♊︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 2nd-8th house axis, highlighting topics of money and what we owe to others, including our partner’s finances. You might learn your values are not aligned with a partner’s, particularly in regards to resources. This could threaten your sense of security or conception of financial independence, but keep in mind these are “senses” and “conceptions.”

You can expect some 12th house topics such as turbulent mental states, shocking dreams, or psychosomatic illnesses to crop up around this tension due to Uranus’ activation there. The subconscious is trying to help, to send you a clear signal, but it’s up to you to translate and set boundaries as appropriate. The recent conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn in your 9th house of personal beliefs may have initiated a shift within you that is still trying to stabilize.

Cancer ♋︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 1st and 7th house axis, highlighting topics of how you relate to others as well as your conception of self. You are wearing your heart on your sleeve, for better or worse. You are not necessarily pleased with the quantity or quality of people in life; perhaps because relationships with others reflect something uncomfortable about yourself back to you.

Uranus in your 11th house shows that some of these reflections come from well-intentioned friends or colleagues. Alternately, maybe your friends are just acting rather oddly right now (perhaps having their own Full Moon revelations!). Jupiter and Saturn’s recent conjunction in your 8th house of intimacy can make you question what you owe to others. Your instincts are sound, so do not sweep those concerns under the rug.

Leo ♌︎

This Full Moon is in your 12th house and the Sun is in your 6th, highlighting topics of crisis, illness, labor, and retreat. Though it sounds heavy, this time is best suited to resting and tending to where you have trouble letting things go.

Helpful aspects from Uranus in your 10th house of reputation and career could provide what you need to relax. It can indicate a change in workload or hours, allowing you more time to retreat. It can also offer new career opportunities; if this is the case, the Full Moon is asking you to weigh how much extra effort would be needed and whether you are energetically able to oblige. Jupiter and Saturn’s recent conjunct in your 7th house of partnership and marriage encourages you to consider what career shifts would mean for your relationships and legal obligations.

Virgo ♍︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 5th and 11th house axis, highlighting topics of friends and how you experience joy. You may be craving a new type of community or network of friends more aligned with your interests and passions. If you have children, this lunation can also indicate a tension between them and their (or your) friends.

Uranus is making nice aspects from your 9th house of higher learning, foreign cultures, and spirituality. Examine circles in which you either learn or worship for support. The Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in your 6th house is still bringing new beginnings in health and day-to-day routines. If your balance of time spent socializing versus alone is off, small changes promise long term benefits.

Libra ♎︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 4th-10th house axis, highlighting topics of home versus career. This is also an axis that strongly speaks to family, and with the Full Moon in your 10th house, specifically the mother. There could be crises or changes in your mother’s reputation or career. Alternately, you might be struggling with blocking off adequate time and resources to take care of home and work obligations.

Aspects from an 8th house Uranus transit to the Full Moon may find you managing surprises related to resources and debt–your mother’s or your family’s. The recent Jupiter-Saturn conjunct in your 5th house points to the possibility to make money off of a creative venture, or to rely more heavily on either children or a romantic partner. This configuration opens a new era of trust for you, which will ripen beautifully over time.

Scorpio ♏︎

This Full Moon is in your 9th house, with the Sun sitting in your 3rd house. This axis highlights topics of learning, spirituality, and travel. You are likely experiencing some degree of wanderlust lately (which, for obvious reasons, cannot be indulged). You may feel like you can. not. be. bothered. with sitting in the same place any longer. Try taking a mental vacation via a book or immersive media.

A helpful 7th house Uranus aspect brings an interpersonal surprise. A close friend or partner may have something up their sleeve that can shake you out of your ennui. Additionally, the recent Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in your 4th house of family and property is still inspiring you reinvent your home base. A virtual vacation may rejuvenate these efforts or provide additional ideas for laying down enduring roots.

Sagittarius ♐︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 2nd-8th house axis, highlighting topics of resources, values, and debt. You are likely undergoing a bit of a budget crisis; no matter how big or small, something in your financial life or spending habits is causing you anxiety. Triggering events may be rooted in compulsion or other subconscious drives.

Helpful aspects are flowing to the Full Moon from Uranus in your 6th house. The 6th house is a place where day-to-day tasks yield results, such as careful budgeting or a detailed review of purchases and debts. That recent Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in your 3rd house also points to how technology or support from your community can help set your financial house in order.

Capricorn ♑︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 1st and 7th house axis, highlighting topics of self versus other. With the Sun transiting your 1st house right now, you are feeling vigorous and perfectly comfortable with attention from others, but your closest partners and friends may be feeling neglected. This Full Moon asks you to be a bit gentler and appreciative of the people who support you, to nourish relationships more than your self-interest.

Uranus is making helpful aspects from the 5th house. Romantic partners in particular may need your attention, and ignoring this could yield uncomfortable surprises. Alternatively, partners or even your children may be the ones to show you where you’ve been too self-focused. The Jupiter-Saturn conjunction is still active in your 2nd house, too, so crises with partners may have something to do with money. Whether the problem is what to do with it or how to get it, remember: you need more than just material resources to survive.

Aquarius ♒︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 6th and 12th house axis, highlighting topics of work, labor, martyrdom, sickness, crisis, and retreat. There is a possibility of falling ill or experiencing very low energy during this Full Moon. There is an internal struggle going on inside of you, intimately tied in with the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction still active in your 1st house of self. This transit can bring a crisis of authenticity or questioning who you really are.

There are helpful aspects from Uranus in your 4th house of home and family. You may be able to find new perspectives from family members or people you share a home with. Alternatively, tumult in your home life could mean you need to rely on yourself and process your questions alone to get the real answer.

Pisces ♓︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 5th and 11th house axis, highlighting topics of friends, romance, and how we experience joy. You may find yourself pressed for alone time to pursue your own pleasures right now; instead, you feel on-the-hook for all manner of social events or obligations to others. The balance between what you do independently versus for or with a group is out of whack right now.

Uranus, planet of surprises and brilliance, is making helpful aspects to the Full Moon from your 3rd house of neighbors, siblings, and communication. The solution may be a matter of simply explaining the pressure you feel to others. While the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in your 12th house could have birthed new appreciation for introspection, it may also lure you into being harder on yourself–and more sequestered–than you need to be.
