January 5, 6:15 am – January 7, 6:39 pm PT (Your Time Zone)
Wearing a sparkly pair of ruby-red slippers, Luna clicks her heels three times and repeats the fabled words, “there’s no place like home.” Immune from Saturn and Mars, who remain hidden behind heavy, velvet curtains, she is transported to her most familiar and comfortable surroundings in the sign of the Crab.
Finely tuned to her environment, an immediate square to Jupiter in Aries challenges Luna to practice self-care before tending to the needs of her beloveds. Setting the tone for the Full Moon on January 6 at 3:07 pm PT, Luna’s reflection may mirror your own need to come home to yourself in the aftermath of yearend happenings.
Name two or three nourishing things you will do for yourself over these next few days. And, then, name two or three more things you will do for others… it’s the Cancerian way.
Even a hard-working wizard, one with horns and fins, needs rest after an arduous climb straight uphill. Mired in the earthly essentials of Capricorn season, Peak Luna is an invitation to reclaim emotional needs lost or forgotten.
Slipping into an ocean-blue cashmere robe, Our Lady of Full Reflection removes her ruby slippers and finds a comfy place to be. Magnified by three retrograde planets, seen and unseen, memories of her journey to Oz fill her roundly. Endowed with protection and the light of a responsive Capricorn Sun, she casts a spell on the waters of forgetting and remembering.
Opposing Mercury at his cazimi moment, January 7 at 4:49 am PT, clarity and thoughtful reorientation allow old stories to be seen with new eyes. Now a morning star, the Winged Messenger brings the light of consciousness to hidden things. Pulling back the curtains, Luna wonders, “who is the great and magnificent Oz, really?”
How do you navigate core wounds from the past? This Full Moon may invoke big emotions. Let those you love provide their tender love and care.
As the Moon gleams proud, the Sun in Capricorn makes a trine to Uranus in Taurus. Primed to redress the narrative, this is a creative energy that calls for a new “once upon a time.” Let yourself be surprised and reshaped by a profound sense of belonging.
As Luna reaches the end of the yellow brick road, she meets a dreamy Neptune by trine and a resolute Pluto by opposition. The outer planets offer her parting gifts. Infused with penetrating insight and inspired imagination, Luna begins to feel herself transform into a golden-maned lioness.
What story do you want to tell about who you are becoming?
Consider this…
Full Moons are often full on. With Mercury, Mars, and Uranus all turning direct in January, why not take advantage of this fading retro time? Swim in loving memories, slather yourself with lavender-scented bubbles and nurture your inner child. As usual, important insights and completions are available, although reflection and renewal rather than hard facts and decisions may be in order.
Beautiful Neva!!!
