"Nature gives forth of itself willingly and abundantly; it is up to each person to not only pay respects to nature, but to give back to it in as positive a manner as possible."

January’s Full Moon falls at the 29 degree of Cancer, the most developed degree of the sign. Each of the 12 signs contain 30 degrees of angle, 0 through 29. These degrees are like miles markers on the highway indicating the planetary positions in the sky story. The 29th degree is the most developed or mature position of the sign. Therefore, Full Moons occurring at these late degree positions are an invitation to illuminate the most evolved qualities of the sign.
This Full Moon occurs at the exact degree of the longest Total Solar Eclipse in this Century, July 21, 2009. Eclipse energy signifies a "seeding point" for what's to come. In this case, its focus was redefining how one nurtures self, others, and harmonizes and aligns with our home planet - all Cancer Themes. This Current Full Moon reconnects to that vibration, establishing this theme for these next two weeks. Quite a contrast to the tragic events in Tuscon Arizona last week. (Starman's 2¢)
The water signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are symbolic of emotional connection. Cancer the Crab retreats back into its shell, sometimes very sensitive. As the Crab carries its home on its back, Cancer is related to home, family and nurturing. The Moon is Cancer’s planetary ruler, meaning the Moon feels “at home” in the sign of Cancer.
