Full moon- First one for 2012

“This first full Moon of 2012 highlights the opposition between the Sun in Capricorn and the Moon in Cancer, and speaks to the nurturing, creating and protecting aspects of life and society.   It brings up the archetypal powers of mother and father, the issues of nurturing and protecting, and impacts our emotional body as well as our social body. The energies of family and state begin our new year, the structures that bind us together….”

“This Cancer full Moon asks us to look at what is happening to our world and nurture a new way of being in ourselves and in our world.    To do that, we have to discern when to literally help, when to offer advice, when to stand silent and be a witness to new ideas and growth without entangling ourselves where we are not needed.   A good mother gives what is necessary for her child’s growth and consciousness, and sometimes this entails “not giving’ them what they think they need.  ”“When your own mother, or your inner mother, cannot give you the love you deserve and need, turn to the Goddess, for she is the Great Mother of us all.   And don’t forget to be grateful for her love.”

“…This is the promise of the Cancer full Moon — to nurture the new Light being born within you and to learn how to bring it into the world for our communal benefit later this year.”
