January 12th's Cancer Full Moon calls us home to ourselves, to who and what we love. Emotions are high. We may be pulled to extremes. Riding the wave of Cancerian watery emotional depths, we easily could plunge in between recklessness and vulnerability, and from neediness to wanting to cocoon alone.
On January 8th the forward motion of New Year started up. This full moon is an opportunity to tie up loose ends from last year and take a look inward to what we really wish for and for what really matters to us.
☽Truth
Two opposing warrior goddesses stand face to face, swords drawn, yet the all seeing eye in the moon is our full moon calling us back to what is true. We are pulled in so many directions and greatly influenced by the outside world. Responsibilities call to us. How can we not be influenced by the what the world says it right and true? Tv commercials use new age sayings to sell their products, seeming to carry a hidden promise that life will be wonderful. Buying this will make you feel so good and could change everything. We could have all we want and still find something lacking in ourselves or life.
This Cancer full moon is calling us back to ourselves, back to our Soul. Come home and rest she whispers. Cancer is the sign of home and heart. Spend time at home three days before and after the full moon if you can. It's a great time to feather your nest. Curl up in blankets. Quality time at home and with your beloveds feels magical now. Use the lovely full moon ritual below to make this moon phase super magical and special.
The original astrological animal of Cancer was a turtle. Take it slow. Quiet time now helps to hear what is going on inside. We can feel our emotions. This moon may keep you up at night. She may leave you reckless and wanting, or angry and depressed. Riding the wave of Cancerian emotions is possible. Let that be ok. Lean on the security and comforts of home.
Nurture yourself. Make yourself a priority. During this moon phase you might feel the need to love and nurture others, and express your love but please don't forget you. The eye in the moon above symbolizes our third eye, or intuitive eye. It is in between our human eyes and sees the truth of ultimately what is right for us. It sees the truth of everything really.
What emotions have you been running away from? What emotions are running you? Full moons like this one are a chance to sit with ourselves and how we feel. If you have been feeling anxious or sad, ask yourself why? A few layers underneath lies the root of that feeling. What can you do to create feelings of calmness and security? What calms you? Who calms you? Who is really supportive of you? Who gets you? Who is your kindred? The truth streamlines how you spend your time, on what and with who. The truth helps you to see.
☽ Freedom
2017 has the mark of freedom, a Number One Year. It's momentum is finally afoot shown by a lovely maiden just about to release a white dove to fly freely. Please don't beat yourself up if you created resolutions or have not done what you intended. I repeat DO NOT beat yourself up. Choose one thing if you must. If I could recommend just one thing for you, it would be to come home to yourself. To take care of yourself and BE at the center of your life. Take your cues from the inside. Follow your hunches. This is about holistic change and what really matters.
The energy of this year is about being present in the moment and creating. It's also about what we are being called to do. This could feel like a mission. You may even feel divinely led. Or it could feel like yes! I have always wanted to do that! Last year I started visiting animal shelters and donating food and supplies. I love spending time with the adoptees, playing and cuddling with them. This brings my heart great joy. I created an Animal Advocate page to share petitions for animal welfare and I donate regularly. I feel deep inside it is part of what I am supposed to be doing while I am down here this time. January is ruled by Capricorn highlighting answering the call of our lives.
Go for it now if having that degree, moving or getting that raise is what you really want. Do what you have to do and take some steps. Reading motivational books is great but it won't do your workouts for you. And Yes.Your mind will fight back. We are wired as humans to prefer what is familiar and known. This means you cannot beat yourself up. Your mind wants what it already knows. This is safe. This is good. We did this for protection and survival as a species. Do something more and it will feel familiar and right.
We want to live an amazing life and be happy. We want to be inspired. We want love, passionate love, family love and strong friendships. We want to feel like life matters. La Luna, our beautiful Cancer moon can take us there, to being in touch with something deeper. There is freedom in letting the soul and heart lead, and enjoying the ride. Take your time. Connect to your intuition. Make yourself a priority to create communication between your heart and mind. Do we have to know what is going to happen minute by minute? Or do we want to have an amazing experience?
☽ Protection
Ocean waters may bring waves of emotions but we are protected. These are big waves. People may show their true colors now. It's a blessing in disguise. We may see something we don't like about ourselves during this moon. That too is a blessing to embrace. An extra project you took on may not work out to be profitable because you are already spread too thin. Take time to receive guidance from your inner voice on how to move forward using Divine Feminine energy rather than pushing through with masculine energy.
Full moons are "the" time to forgive. Maybe you feel like you have forgiven but still feel conflicted in your heart. The heart does its work but it can take time. If there is anything to get over or get past, talk to someone who can help you with that. Find a trusted friend who will listen but give you good advice you will take. See a therapist or get an intuitive reading.
Cancer Full Moon Ritual
* Open all the windows.
* Clean and mop the floors with water. (Cancerian element)
* Clean the heart of your home. Get rid of things like pictures and knick knacks that you don't want to have around anymore.
* Light incense. Make a list of what you want to release for the full moon and who you want to forgive. Bury it or tear it up in pieces. Give it to the ocean, a river or down your toilet.
* Use crystals from the Cancer Mystical Guide Above. Put them out as well as flowers and things that beautify your home.

Today is a lovely day to get together with friends, make phone calls to your besties or loved ones you haven't chatted with in awhile. Get out and socialize. Make plans to this weekend. Be with or connect with people who get you and have amazing conversations of life. Have a party!
This is a good day to have an important conversation or just call the people you need to call on your to-do list.
It's also a great day to mentally muse and write down what you released during the recent Aries Full Moon - Super Moon. YES! We made it intact! Gemini's influence today gives the brainpower to make it concrete and put it where we can understand it mentally.
If you are an air sign, Gemini, Libra & Aquarius, (sun and rising) or are ruled by Mercury...Virgo and Gemini your mojo has wings today. Today carries the intention to finally figure out something you have been trying to change for a long time for everyone!
Live it up!

A flock of birds flew, gathering at my window as I asked and prayed for guidance for this new moon oracle card reading. A few hundred landed eating, circling and singing. Thank you Mother Nature for this auspicious and magical sign. Birds are a sign of magical power and manifestation. The funny thing about these birds was I couldn't figure out what kind they were, or where they came from.
I chose one of my favorite decks fitting for this especially transformative and powerful new moon. It's moody and layered. New Moons are for new beginnings but this one dives deep into the nether depths of our psyches.
You may have felt this coming. Melancholy, moodiness and mood swings were a sign of a great opening. Do not deny your shadow. Welcome the parts of you that you judge to not be good. Set a place at your table for the part of you that swims in the watery emotional and murky depths of emotion. You have grown into yourself from the hardest and most difficult times to be an amazing "You".
☽ Celebration
The three butterflies represent three Scorpio animal signs. Scorpion, eagle & phoenix. Butterflies symbolize complete and total metamorphosis. The scorpion is the sacred mystery of healing reachable from your deepest wounds. This Scorpion is our darker emotions like rage and jealousy. The saying we are never mad for the reason we think we are mad works here.
The Eagle takes flight. Still a fierce hunter but begins to see the bigger picture of emotions and power struggles. The phoenix is the fire needed for transformation. Tangle and turn with your deepest emotions now. Explore your insecurities. Being jealous is really wanting what someone else has for yourself. Fear grounds you from flying free. Not liking a character trait in someone else, is a mirror to not liking that about yourself.
☽ Healing
Scorpio is the sign of transmutation, regeneration and healing. The 2 serpents the medical symbol for healing represent birth and fertility, the root of Scorpio's magic. The apothecary bottles here show cultivating health brings balance. We are healers. We know what brings joy and vitality. What is your prescription?
The red flowers represent health and vibrancy, and our roots. Where do you need to break out of tribal or ancient ideas that don't fit you anymore? What habits have you wanted to create? Do you need to go to bed earlier? What's no working? Our Medicine Woman has a green glow... the color of healing also symbolizing the harmony of healing in Mother Nature's arms.
☽ Compassion
Finally this beautiful card is the acceptance of deep vulnerabilities. It is so much easier to have compassion for others, yet still be so hard on ourselves. Compassion is the ultimate healer. We invited the feelings we so want to push down into our hearts and communed with them. Set a beautiful table for the parts of you that you are not proud of. Honor her too, because she was scared, lonely and lost. Have compassion for her. A lovely being lays on the ground with butterfly wings, metamorphosized. The light is this New Moon's transformational magic. You have walked the deepest depths so you can truly feel the healing light.
I hope you have a lovely and awesome new moon. The energy will be the most intense tomorrow. Here is an easy New Moon Ritual to do tonight or within the next 2 days. It's a great time to visualize and feel yourself into being now. Talk about what you want. Communicate your deepest feelings and desires to your peeps that get you. Journal. Explore and read about what lights you up. it's a good time to read self-help books that have been inviting you to read them. You know who they are.
It's also a great time to do a Star Spread Oracle Reading for yourself. I show you how to do that here. If you need more support and direction, don't hesitate to reach out to about a private reading via phone or Skype. Shoot me a message

The Libra New Moon illuminates new beginnings of love and harmony within ourselves and in relationships. That breezy feeling feels oh-so-good after last month's intensity. Libra energy brings a sense of peace and wanting to be in harmony in life. It's breezy but this phase can easily tip the other way. Familiar arguments may erupt over the next week. Our feelings are the gateway. What can be seen on deep levels opens us up to a new awareness of the true gift of our lives and those in it.
☽ Nature
This card image shows us Libran balance. The Fall leaves on the left and Springs blossoms. Life is a cycle of endings and beginnings. Starts and stops. Love and loss. September was intense energetic catalyst for change. Aries Harvest Full Moon ~ Blood Moon ~ Super Moon + Lunar Eclipse brought a huge opportunity for releasing. Significant relationships may have been rocky the last two weeks. What pissed us off about others is a mirror to our own issues. We can look at that now in ourselves and transform it, if we wish to.
Pay attention to animal signs. I keep seeing blue jays. One just crowed as I wrote that. They are members of the Crow family. An animal or bird that keeps showing up has a message for you. Ravens and crows represent magic an transformation. Lions are about personal strength and power, and the sun. Dolphins symbolize playing, and peace and harmony.
☽ Choice
If you had issues with boundaries, consider you may not be so good at maintaining your own. If you are feeling like an outsider or lonely, it's time to get out and experience life. No you don't have to climb a mountain, or jump out of an airplane...unless of course you want to. Get outside as the "Nature" card revealed. Take a walk. Get a coffee with a friend. Have a party or go to one.
Relationship intensity in recent weeks may have shaken and stirred up things. The woman's red dress here symbolizes passion, love and the groundedness of the root chakra. As we ride the ups and downs we have the choice to pick our battles.
Ultimately we want to be loved. She holds a shining crystal very close to her heart. It looks like an embryo symbolizing new life. We can have the courage to keep our hearts open in the midst of the life's unstoppable tides when we keep our eye on what we truly want. The three directions shown here are the many choices we have. Peace...our white dove can ultimately reign.
☽ Discernment
The crows flying above three geisha's heads are an omen of possible transformation. Mystically we go within to see our part in things and what we might still need to bring light to, a spiritual journey. Magically - we see our world constantly giving us signs like the crows here and ourselves mirrored back to us in other people. It can be an a-hah moment. I hate when he does but I do that.
It's time to trust yourself. Three spheres: zodiac, compass and world crowning the geisha's heads tell us we can tune into our our intuition. To think before we react and let things sit. Our feelings have valuable information in them. Discern what is at the core of them. Be with them for a time before judging, condemning or blaming.
These three spheres also symbolize mind, body and spirit.
Compass Crown = Mind
Thinking before reacting. Embracing the power that your thoughts can create reality.
Earth Crown = Body
Getting into our feelings, and owning our deepest desires and needs.
Zodiac Crown = Spirit
Bridging these parts of us bring harmony and balance.
Your heart can lead the way.
Lots of Love,
XoTatiana
