The Cancer full moon invites you to celebrate your instincts and drive as you move through life. The tools of the time are spirituality and imagination.

The Full Moon is the climax of the moonthly cycle because it is at it's brightest and can shine light on the deepest parts of ourselves that we can't usually see. It is a powerful time for looking within, healing, shifting blocks, and shedding the past.

Cancer is an cardinal water sign ruled by the Moon the heavenly body of intuition, emotions, and feelings. The Cancer moon can help us connect with our instincts. It may lead us to nurture and protect our home and our beloveds. If we feel unsafe by our vulnerability or if critiques from others are too sharp, we get crabby

Journal with Tarot or Oracle Cards

It is a good time to revisit your Capricorn New Moon Spread and review the intentions you made during the new moon.

Are your intentions taking root into your daily life?
What does the Full Moon in Cancer card say to you now?
Does your initial impression still stand?
Has anything changed?
Any new insight in hindsight?

Look back at your notes from the Cancer New Moon (in June and July) and review those intentions. Have you manifested any? If you have, great! If not, is it something you still want? Is it something to revise or something you must go on a quest for?

It is also a good time to shuffle your deck (or use your intuition) and ask:

What makes me feel safe and secure?
How can I best trust my gut instincts?
Where in my life is a new beginning emerging?
How can I give and receive more emotional warmth?

Full Moon Ritual

Charge your Spiritual Tools

The light of the Full Moon amplifies everything with the energy of manifestation. This is why many coven's meet on the full moon to perform their magical rituals.

crystals, rosaries, tarot, and oracle decks (etc) and cleanse them with the scared smoke of sage, cedar, copal or whatever you have on hand. The important thing is cleanse with the intention of clearing and neutralizing energies from the tools.
To charge your spiritual tools take them outside where they can get the energy of the moon (a window sill will also do).
For each spiritual tool state your intention and add something like "I invite the light and manifestation power of this Full Moon to bless and amplify this spiritual tool so it may serve its highest good. Blessed be."
In the morning offer a prayer of gratitude to the moon and your spiritual tools or its potent new energy.
