Full Moon in Cancer Part II - shifting away from what is weighing us down and preventing us from stepping into our own power

*see bottom of post
Part I is HERE

On December 23rd, Saturn moved out of Scorpio (that sigh of relief is the fixed signs - Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio exhaling) into Sagittarius. The mutable signs will be dealing with his greatest personal impact now, but it will shift directions and activities for all of us.

Then tonight, to kick 2015 (the Year of the Sheep) off with a bang, we have the first Full Moon of the year; a Full Moon in Cancer - the Wolf Moon. Full Moons shine a light on something or bring a culmination to something that has been expanding in our lives. The work we have done or not done in the past (in particular intentions and activities set into motion at the Cancer New Moon last July) begin to bear fruit or regrets now.

Full Moon have reputations for high drama. One moment we are on a quiet, late afternoon hike through the park and the next we are howling at the night sky, biceps ripping out of our shirts, running naked through the trees. We don't notice the branches cutting into our feet, the cold winds whipping our ears or the icicles beginning to dangle precariously from our private parts.

The high drama at the Full Moon is about our awakening to something that has been building to a point where we finally notice it. Full moons bring in lots of light, after all, and the werewolves, like us, had lots of little clues, ie wolf bite, growing hairy fingers and pointy canines - that something was amiss long before the full moon beckoned them (and us) into the woods.

The people who will feel this transit the strongest are likely Sagittarius rising and Sagittarius sun signs - then Gemini rising and Sun, then Virgos and Pisces (all the mutable signs).

But Capricorns and Aquarius always feel Saturn's changes strongly and everyone has Sagittarius somewhere in their charts. It will feel like an elephant has trampled into that corner of our life. This affects all of us!

If you are a Sagittarius rising, you have Sagittarius in your first house (the house of self) so Saturn's journey into Sagittarius is big news for you.

Saturn is a slow moving outer planet. He takes about 29 years to cover what the Moon does in about 29 days. This makes his movements serious and important. A second chance to get a Saturn transit right will be a long time coming. We want to get it right now.

Saturn is the 2nd largest planet - a planet of contraction (Jupiter, the largest planet, is the planet of expansion so we expand a little more than we contract) - he's about boundaries, responsibilities, karma, commitments, self-control, solitude - the stuff that defines (meaning = outlines) us.
