HAPPY FIRST FULL MOON OF THE YEAR, BISHESSS 🔥🌝 This Full Moon is in sensitive af Cancer opposite Underworld Daddy Pluto, so if you feel like scheduling time into CRY tonight, that’s completely normal and not weird 🥲😅
Feeling like a bit of a basketcase? That’s just the Moon in Cancer, sweetie. Crying is a bit of a Cancer past-time and with the Moon being so strong tonight, we may as well *all* be ~honorary~ Cancers. (Don’t worry Ily Cancer, I’m a Pisces Moon- crying is one of our favorite things to do too 🥲. Or maybe just throwing a little tantrum fueled by frustration? A LOT of emotion tonight.
Ok ok ok I might be ~exaggerating~ a LITTLE about cancer energy. All jokes aside, my point is that this Moon can be pretty emotional. The Moon officially became Full at 3:49pm PST/ 6:49pm EST at 27’50’ Cancer with an opposition to Pluto, Sun conjunct Pluto, Juno conjunct Sun/Pluto, Mars (Out of Bounds) quincunx Moon, Saturn still conjunct Mercury, Chiron sextile Mercury, Uranus square Mercury, and Neptune square Mars still and sextile Juno. The Moon in Cancer is also Out of Bounds, adding more volatility and unpredictability to the energy because doesn’t that just sound like fun? *twirls* 🥳
So let’s get into that nasty (and not in the fun way) STAR aspect of this Full Moon- Moon in an opposition to Underworld Daddy Pluto himself. First of all, that automatically means that the Sun is also conjunct Pluto because Full Moons are always Sun-Moon oppositions. The Moon rules our emotional needs while Pluto (in his highest vibration) rules pure POWER. Lower vibe Pluto, however can stimulate paranoia, obsession and hyper fixation, ~manipulative~ and controlling tendencies. And while the Moon needs emotional nurturing (cancer) and gentleness, Daddy Pluto while in the late degrees of Capricorn, answering to strict SkyDaddy Saturn— doesn’t exactly have that in spades. He’s more likely to kick you in the ass than pat your head and tell you everything is going to be ok. And oppositions inherently have an energy of *tension.* And Moon-Pluto can be emotionally dramatic *and* intense. *Cut to me in fetal position on the couch earlier, balls deep in an existential crisis on the verge of tears like the dramatic bish I am* And if you’re feeling this too, it’s not just you! (Yay!) Sun (our ego self) also intensifies our ego needs in the Capricorn area of our charts, or also around the idea of achievement and goals, status/standing in general. (This s**t’s messy yo.)
Other than that, we also have Juno (partnership) joining that intense-ass mess I just described above— so a lot of the aforementioned energy will be particularly directed towards partnerships. Mars (god of war, our drive and masculine energy) is Out of Bounds by declination making his actions and movements even more erratic than the Sagitterrorist sign he’s currently in 😅🔥🤷♀️ People’s actions may be truly baffling and also hurtful as he is making a quincunx (hard aspect) to the Full Moon. And Mars is ALSO still a little lost in the Neptunian depths with that square so energy levels may still not be high and dreams might be weird af. *And* Saturn is still in charge of much of the sky with the exception of “bad decisions make good stories” Mars Out of Bounds in Sagittarius and Neptune in “wtf are boundaries” Pisces which as you may have guessed, is a super healthy, not problematic mix 😅 Also though Juno is in a sextile (supportive aspect) with Neptune, I feel like a lot of elements of relationships are really stuck in some sort of Neptunian haze. That can be a messy haze or a rose-colored “feel good” haze— but a haze nonetheless.
Saturn (structure, obstacles, karma) is still loosely conjunct Mercury Rx, putting pressure on us to keep our minds disciplined and get serious about what we want to create. He’s definitely a heavy handed Daddy though and isn’t giving much leeway or understanding for messiness or lack of follow-through. If you’ve been feeling the pressure to really (finally) get your s**t together, that’s his doing. And yet his square (conflict aspect) to Chaos Daddy Uranus (still) and Uranus’ square to Mercury is possibly creating like, a s**t ton of anxiety and uncertainty over how the F**K to proceed? Lol? This energy is chaotic and unstable af, so again, it’s not just you. Your life isn’t as much of a dumpster fire as you may feel while looking through tough love Daddy Saturn’s unforgiving lens🪐
The good news though (yes, there’s good news!) is that on this Full Moon we actually have a lot of power and possibility for healing. (I included a few different options for cord cuttings for subscribers to TheVertex this month, for instance!) There is a lot of energy around releasing that which we have been holding onto for dearf**kinglife (cancer) and maybe being a bit nostalgic about even— which does NOT serve us anymore. And needs to be let the f**k GO. Make that bish Elsa and LET IT GOOOO. Chiron (soul wound) is sextile Mercury, suggesting that if we can get out of our anxious f**king heads and actually do the work to heal the places that are holding us back, the universe will support us through it. And honestly, even despite some of the ~lower~ tendencies of that harsh ass Pluto-Moon opposition— Daddy Pluto ultimately wants us to examine all the places where we have given our power away. And then TAKE IT BACK 🖤🔥
You can do this. This energy is a lot (and trust me, I’m just as f**king tired of saying this as you are of hearing it probably lol) but we are getting stronger. Every one of these planetary shifts and jabs at us that doesn’t break us, strengthens our resilience. Like fortifying steel. So go forth and release. And then rise, stronger.
Remember also, Full Moon energy lasts 3 days after, so you have until the end of Thursday to do your *releasing* rituals (not manifestations lol). *Kris Jenner voice* You’re doing great, sweetie 😘💅
