🌕 Full Moon in Cancer | Returning Home to Yourself
The Full Moon in Cancer arrives like a tide pulling us inward — toward memory, emotion, and the places within us that crave safety and softness. Cancer is ruled by the Moon itself, making this lunation especially potent. Feelings rise easily now, not to overwhelm, but to be acknowledged, honored, and held.
This is a moon of emotional truth. Of home — not just the physical space you live in, but the inner sanctuary you return to when the world feels loud. Under this Full Moon, we are invited to tend to our inner waters: to notice what we’re carrying, what needs comfort, and what is ready to be released with compassion rather than force.
Cancer teaches us that vulnerability is not weakness. It is wisdom. During this moon phase, even small rituals can have deep impact, especially when done with intention and care. This is not a time to rush transformation — it’s a time to nurture it.
Let this Full Moon be a pause. A moment to place your hand over your heart, breathe deeply, and listen to what your emotions have been trying to say.
