On January 10 we will experience the first of four of the lunar eclipses scheduled in 2020. This moon makes up the bookends of the Cancer Full Moons opening and closing this year. Because Cancer (ruled by the Moon) is the ultimate feminine sign this is a tip-off that women and the rise of feminine power will be highlighted this year. This Moon is doubly special as it is an eclipse. This moon directly opposed by Mercury, Saturn, Pluto which are all in Capricorn. The Moon opposite Sun at a lunar eclipse accentuates the polarities in your life which creates much tension. So imagine the tension created with a supercharged Moon opposite such an intense stellium of planets. The focus of this lunar eclipse is communication because of Sun is conjunct Mercury. But it is cold, ruthless and oppressive because of the authoritarian, dictatorial influence of Saturn and Pluto which are getting ready to form their conjunction in 2 days. This moon is emotionally very challenging because the Moon is so afflicted. If you are a sensitive, timid person you need to protect yourself against bullies. If you are strong you need to protect more vulnerable family members and friends. This eclipse favors the powerful and wealthy.
Horoscopes for the Cancer Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse
Aries
With a lot of activity in your career right now and a full moon transiting your fourth house of home and foundations, you can feel pulled in several directions at once. You’re known for being an adaptable sign, but even you may feel that balance between home and work is practically nonexistent. Work/life balance is a real thing, and you need some of it! Prioritize what’s most important and try to create some much needed equilibrium.
Taurus
It’s time to reach out and text a friend, Taurus. With this full moon transiting your third house, your connection to your community plays a major role in being able to bring things together—especially in your career. Now is a good time to communicate your proposal or negotiate something that can bring major wins your way. Your ability to communicate clearly and persuasively is unmatched right now.
Gemini
Money matters are going to play into this full moon in a big way for you. With the moon transiting your second house of material possessions, and a flurry of activity in your eighth house of other people’s money, it’s time for you to look at what’s coming in and what’s going out. Bring a little sacredness to your money by looking at what you value and making sure your expenses align with this.
Cancer
Your relationship with yourself is front and center with this full moon touring your first house. Because of that, it’s time to come out from your warm, comfortable shell and step fully into your power. Your more reserved nature may resist the spotlight but this transit is tailored just for you. Come out of hiding and show the world what you’re made of!
Leo
Keep your favorite journal by your bedside, Leo. With a full moon in your intuitive twelfth house, your intuition is on point and your dreams will be almost prophetic. Now is a great time to devote space each day for meditation, to start working with crystals (carnelian is perfect for your sign), or maybe begin a moon journal to deepen your spiritual swagger.
Virgo
With this full moon in your eleventh house, it’s time to take a good look at your social group, Virgo. Those you spend the most time with have a massive influence on how you feel. Who in your squad are you no longer vibing with? Be willing to let go of connections that you’ve outgrown and lean into those that leave you feeling empowered.
Libra
Though we’re already 10 days into 2020, the full moon transiting your tenth house is a prime time for setting intentions. This house rules your goals, purpose, and how you can bask in some well-deserved recognition for all your hard work. The intentions you set today have the power to be the reality you live tomorrow.
Scorpio
It’s time to open your eyes to things you’ve never seen. This full moon transits your freewheeling and expansive ninth house, so travel may be in store. You could receive a business proposition to travel abroad, or of travel isn’t on your radar, it’s also a great time to take a course. Whether it’s horizons or your mind, expansion is the theme of this luminary.
Sagittarius
You’re known for a being a confident sign, but this month you are really strutting your stuff. The full moon is transiting your eighth house with a party of planets occupying your second house of values and worth. There is something powerful about knowing your worth and really feeling yourself. Authenticity looks so good on you.
Capricorn
Jim Rohn’s quote, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with,” is the best description of this full moon touring your seventh house of relationships, Capricorn. The light this moon is shining lets you see clearly your relationships. Your clarity makes now a very good time for starting fresh.
Aquarius
Did you overdo it during the holidays, Aquarius? This full moon is touring your sixth house of health and practices and is balancing out a riot of planets in your more inward twelfth house. Now it is the time to unplug and make healing your top priority. It’s all about replenishing and restoring. With the deeply spiritual side of the twelfth house, now would be a good time to schedule an energy healing or Shamanic journey.
Pisces
The Muse has come to visit and not a moment too soon, Pisces. The full moon transiting your expressive fifth house puts in you in prime position for turning an idea you’ve been tossing around into reality. Pull out your artistic medium of choice and simply surrender to the flow of creativity dying to get out.
