A full moon always happens while the moon—ruler of your internal self—forms an opposition with the sun—ruler of your external self—creating inner conflict that forces you to create space for change. This is the most climactic phase of the lunar cycle, bringing revelatory insight to the surface. Deep-seated emotions may rise when you’re least expecting it, as major epiphanies are likely to happen during a full moon.
On December 26, a full moon in Cancer will reach its peak at 7:32 p.m. ET. Cancer—the cardinal water sign of compassion, care, tenderness, family, security, home, magic, folk lore, and heritage—is urging us to feel our deepest feelings, allowing our emotions to remind us that we are human. Opposing the sun in structured, reliable, and pragmatic Capricorn, this full moon wants you to find balance between the heart and the hardworking, as well as how we are both caretaker and cared for. At its core, the Cancer-Capricorn axis is about self-love vs. self-discipline. While Cancer is concerned with holding together the home through tenderness, spirituality, and unconditional love, Capricorn is focused on protecting and providing for the home by following the rules, getting the job done, and dishing out tough love.
This particular full moon is more magical than you’d expect, because the moon also happens to be Cancer’s also happens to be the moon’s ruling planet. This means the moon is functioning as it desires, fully in reach of the mystical powers it loves to share with all of us in light of the holiday season. Forming a sextile with expansive and abundant Jupiter in Taurus, this full moon is bringing out big emotions and even bigger blessings. And with a trine involving stable Saturn in Pisces, this full moon is also helping you stay grounded and realistic about your options.
However, keep in mind that Mercury is still retrograding through Sagittarius and squaring off with hazy Neptune, which could also distort your thoughts and lead to unrealistic thinking. In order to tell what’s real from what’s not, ask yourself whether you’re feeling something in your heart and intuition rather than in the chaos of your own mind.
