The fullness of our unconscious motives are reflected in the face of the Cancer Full Moon looming brightly above our head and reflecting back to us the face of our tender vulnerability. Because this Full Moon is visible in daylight as well as in nightlight it seems to be publicly exposing our emotional need to feel safely secured in the life of our making. Every month the Moon enters the sign of ruler ship in Cancer but only once a year when the Moon is full in Cancer do we experience a powerful illumination of our emotional vulnerability.  Couple this with the fulfilling bright promise of the waxing Moon in Aries and a  luminous Cancer Full Moon reflects our courage and stamina to reveal the depth of our emotional vulnerability to ourself and to others. When we are under the influence of Cancer we can be excruciatingly self-protective and our fear of emotional rejection makes it difficult for us to reveal the fullness of our emotional needs.

On December 21, Winter Solstice punctuates the longest night of the year and the Sun dramatically accentuating this event stands still for three days before ascending upward insuring the lengthening light of day and affirming that life has prevailed the deathly darkness of the long nights passing. From an astrological perspective one meaning for this deathly darkness is our preparation for an illumination in consciousness. This Winter Solstice is spectacular with the promise of just that because for the first time since the Winter Solstice in 1762 the Sun and Pluto conjoin on the solstice point. Their momentous meeting is launching a cosmic torpedo guaranteed to bring to surface a deeply rooted anxiety shared by our collective unconscious that will illuminate an overwhelming fear of loss in power and control.
