Full moon in Cancer

01:11 London time

A full moon in Cancer is the most sensitive of all. The theme of home, family and belonging rises to the surface.

What this period means

Cancer is the Moon's home: here the full moon works at full strength. Emotions come into the light, memories surface, and you are drawn towards loved ones and home. It is the best period to hear yourself, to deal with what has got stuck in your feelings. The worst is for hard conversations and serious decisions: while emotional, it is easy to destroy what took years to build.

Good to do

  • ·Time with family, calls to parents
  • ·Creative work with emotional depth
  • ·Caring for the home, cosy rituals

What to avoid

  • ·Serious conversations in raised voices
  • ·Decisions to break up while emotional
  • ·Manipulation through pity

How exactly will it affect you?
