It’s a Full Moon week, Earthlings!
Last week we said goodbye to 2019 and welcomed the first full week of 2020. By the end of this week you’ll be nearly two weeks into the new year and likely forming a clearer idea of how it’s shaping up for you. Maybe it’s more exciting than you imagined. Maybe it feels like everything you hoped for is already unfolding. Or maybe life feels comfortably familiar—and that’s fine too.
No matter where you stand, fresh energy for new beginnings is circulating. Even if it feels like a chunk of the year is already gone, there’s plenty of time to start something new. New beginnings can occur on any day of the year; you can initiate change now and at any point through December. If you began solar eclipse rituals at the New Moon, this week’s Full Moon in Cancer completes a cycle and is a good moment to revisit those practices. And if you haven’t tried them yet, it’s still a great time to start.
Solar Eclipse Rituals With Healing Crystals – 7 Crystals for New Beginnings
The Full Moon zone starts January 8 and lasts through January 12, so Full Moon energy is available for almost the whole week. The Full Moon peaks on January 10 in Cancer, bringing a wave of nurturing emotion and sentimentality. Expect moments of nostalgia and heightened sensitivity as the Moon emphasizes home, family, and emotional security.
Cancer rules maternal instincts, home life, and even food. If you haven’t found your happy place yet this year, wrap up in a warm sweater, make something comforting to eat, and allow yourself to be soothed. If the idea of resolutions stresses you, don’t force it—focus instead on the natural ebb and flow of desire and renewal. Allow the week’s Full Moon energy to tidy up the emotional landscape of your new year in a gentle, meaningful way.
Keep an eye on your daily horoscope so you can prepare for emotional highs and lows during this lunar phase. Make those Full Moon wishes count—what intention will you set under this nurturing Moon?
