Navigating the Emotional Field
Full Moon in Cancer 12/26/23 7:34 4 deg. 58 min
Moon in Cancer opposite Sun in Capricorn
When the Moon is in Cancer, it is at home in its own sign, reflecting a powerful drive to find emotional security inside oneself. Here, the emotions are high and intense. It's all the feels. The Sun in Capricorn reflects the authenticity of expression through a path of development. It's how we are cultivating our journey. It is the process of emotionally digesting the experiences we incur. It is the emotional container we construct to protect our inner vulnerability from the world's harshness. It is how to protect the vulnerable inner emotions through recognizing likes and dislikes and crystallizing a path of development based on our feelings and experiences. This Full moon is where we integrate the expanded sense of self that began with the New Moon in Sagittarius. The integration creates a container for our expanded experiences through setting new boundaries, which helps us to maintain an inner sense of security.
Moon in Cancer semisquare Uranus ® Taurus
This intense drive to align with our inner emotional security is associated with acceleration through shocks that help us break free from limitations to meet our survival needs. These shocks are related to the dissolving structure of our reality. During the semisquare aspect, we are trying to continue with outer activity and experiences, but the energy is drawing us to slow down and internalize what has already happened.
Moon in Cancer Sextile Jupiter ® Taurus
The intense drive to align with our inner emotional security supports a creative opportunity to accelerate the expansion of our personal truth concerning how we meet our needs and expand our self-esteem.

As our outer reality dissolves, we experience a lack of meaning and perhaps a flood of emotions. We are experiencing a crisis in action. What to do? Where we have previously experienced security in our cultural structure, its dissolving nature creates an intense need to find security within ourselves. There is a tension to find creative ways to manage the emotional lability that we may be experiencing.
Moon Cancer trine Saturn Pisces
Saturn in Pisces reflects the rebuilding of a structural container due to the dissolving nature of Pisces. A loss of meaning and the flooding of emotions occur due to the dissolving reality. There is a tendency to feel lost, perhaps hopeless. A regular practice of self-discipline designed to regulate emotions can help. The trine operates by allowing an integration of the original intention, which was to create a container or structure to house the intense emotions from inside the self.
Moon Cancer opposition Mercury ® Sagittarius
Mercury ® in Sagittarius refers to taking a second look at the diversity of information we hold. The purpose is to accelerate our own point of view concerning the many views available. It includes paradoxes and unspoken information and attempts to align our perspective with our beliefs. In opposition to the Moon in Cancer, we are integrating these thoughts and ideas into our innermost sense of self to find emotional security related to the information and truths we have come to.
Sun Capricorn conjunct Mercury ® Sagittarius balsamic
The Sun in Capricorn focuses on our arch of development—specifically, the direction of our emotional maturation concerning our internal thought processes and dialogue. We are completing how we have processed information since the New Moon in Sagittarius. Since the New Moon in Sagittarius, we have digested the information concerning our expanded sense of truth differently. The ability to create a new emotional reality is a process of setting new boundaries related to our unique perspectives. We are ending the way we have previously thought about reality. We are reviewing our thought processes and communication while reviewing past information and considering our own perspectives collected through our individual experiences. It is these thoughts that are helping us to expand our horizons. These expanded horizons will culminate in our ability to create and maintain our emotional reality.
Sun in Capricorn sextile Saturn Pisces (new)
The Sun in Capricorn blends the Leo archetype with the Capricorn archetype: The ability to be seen and to express your authenticity through what comes naturally and the emotional development that ensues through experiencing the day-by-day process. Over time, we master them, become an authority, and gain emotional resilience and maturity.
The sextile between the Sun and Saturn is a supportive energy. The Sun in Capricorn asks us to master what comes naturally to us. Saturn in Pisces crystalizes a new emotional structure where none had previously existed. As the outer world dissolves, it gives us time to develop and master our inner gifts and to become proficient at them.
Sun Capricorn Square Neptune in Pisces (new)
The square to Neptune reflects a crisis in action. Here, the energies are different. Neptune is dissolving the structure of what was. The Sun Capricorn asks us to build an internal emotional structure based on our gifts, talents, and who we are becoming. It's not something many of us have done, and we can experience fears. Fear of failure and fear that the world will take our gifts and somehow taint them.
Sun in Capricorn trine Jupiter ® Taurus (new)
Expression of our emotional maturity is integrating our expanded beliefs in what we harmoniously need for survival.
Sun sesquiquadrate Uranus (new)
Mercury ® Sagittarius conjunct the Galactic center.
If you are subject to periodic downloads from the universe, get ready as Mercury retrograde makes a conjunction with the center. The inward focus of Mercury during this time increases the likelihood of divine transmission from our universe.
Mercury ® Sagittarius
Mercury began its retrograde motion shortly after the New Moon in Sagittarius. The New Moon was about a new beginning in emotionally aligning with a need to expand our inner truth and how we express it to the world. It was about increasing our knowledge through exploring other perspectives. The retrograde motion is a redo that allows us to look inward and accelerate beyond where we are concerning our thought processes and internal communication. The sign of Sagittarius reflects our individual perspective against the possibility that there is something more, reflecting the need to accelerate our own perspective by expanding our awareness of the diversity of perspectives.
Mercury ® Sagittarius Square Neptune in Pisces exact
The acceleration of our thought processes through expansion to find our truth is in a last quarter square with Neptune in Pisces. Neptune in Pisces is where we have lost sight of meaning in the outer world, and the anchor of any meaning must come from within. The last quarter square is where we begin to break free from the beliefs of the societal norm and begin to follow our own beliefs.
Mercury ® Sagittarius trine NN and Chiron ® Aries
The acceleration of our individual perspective through expanding our horizons by aligning with other truths is integrating harmoniously with our future sense of self, and the healing of a wound through interacting with others allows us to entertain different choices concerning the truth we subscribe to. The expansion of our truths helps us to evolve emotionally toward showing up for ourselves. We can begin to disseminate our truths into the social reality.
Mercury ® Sagittarius Conj. Mars Sagittarius
Mercury is in a new phase conjunction with Mars. Mars is the planet that acts on Pluto's desires. Mars is asking us to expand our truths and beliefs. Pluto is asking us to become our own authority and build emotional resilience and maturity through living our lives and becoming proficient at it. We are no longer accepting truths and beliefs from outside ourselves. We are expanding our personal truths and philosophies through a new cycle of rewatching the diversity and the paradox of perspectives. What is true for us?
Mercury ® Sagittarius sextile SN Libra
The SN in Libra refers to how we have previously related to others. The past patterns have become a default that we are learning to grow beyond. Mercury ® Sagittarius refers to an internal review of our thought processes concerning the truth. These energies support one another in that we have taken in the truth of others as the gospel as we confront and transform our inner authority.
The Backdrop
Pluto Square nodes
Pluto is the driver of our evolution. It's unconscious, so we are unaware of its direction in this cosmic journey we find ourselves in. Pluto is once again on the last degree of Capricorn. The energy is intense here as the direction of the cosmic breath is about to change. We may feel some turbulence. On the last degree of Capricorn, Pluto is changing how we empower ourselves through setting personal boundaries, which, over time, leads to emotional maturity.
The Nodes of the Moon are working through the Aries-Libra axis. The SN in Libra references the past sense of self. It points to how we have tried to maintain a balance with other people. The NN in Aries references our future selves. It points out our individual instinctual behavior, what each of us desires to experience, and the ability to show up as that sense of self. We have experienced extremes as we struggled to achieve peace with one another to find a balance between ourselves and the world outside of us. Societal norms have erected laws and customs to direct how we relate to each other. The patriarchy historically has dictated a subservience of women, for example. Or, the brown people of the world do not receive equal access to the resources available.
The square to the nodes represents a skipped step in human evolution. The skipped step is related to the Pluto in Capricorn archetype. We currently place the protection for ourselves within the culture through norms and laws. It has prevented the development of inner protection or emotional resilience. It causes a flipping back and forth between past social contracts and the ability to show up and act from an instinctual place.
To resolve this, we must resolve the past social contracts.
Saturn Pisces
Refers to laying a new structure in a space where no structure exists. In the sign of Pisces, we look at a lack of meaning. We must determine how we want our lives to look and start laying the foundation for the future.
Neptune Pisces
Refers to completion, healing, or transcendence of psychic wounding that has caused us to disassociate from pain. This wounding lives in the spaces that are elusive to us consciously but affect our emotional spaces.
Yod: SN Libra, Uranus ® Taurus, Neptune Pisces
A yod, or Finger of God configuration, points to an area of stress that needs adjustment. It is two inconjuncts, which are blind spots that repeatedly cause crises. The only awareness is the crisis; why it is occurring remains hidden. The two crises connect a vertex point on one side and a sextile on the other. This sextile can resolve the inconjuncts. Sometimes, there is a planet opposing the vertex. It is called a boomerang point. It can help release the tension of the vertex.
The SN in Libra represents our past sense of security in relation to others. It outlines whether or not we have felt equal in our relationships. The two inconjuncts are the blind spots that have caused crises in the past and require adjustment to resolve them. One needs an internal adjustment, and the other needs an external adjustment. In this case, Neptune in Pisces is the blindspot that requires an internal adjustment- dealing with the flooding of emotions as they arise due to pain from psychic trauma.
The one that requires an external adjustment in our relationships is Uranus in Taurus. It refers to a change in our behavior associated with breaking free from the patterns related to how we meet our survival needs. Both inconjuncts have caused stress in our relationships. Chiron is the boomerang point and suggests that the release of the stress point, SN Libra, is created through accelerating our individuation process toward showing up as our individuated selves.
NN Aries conj. Chiron Aries
The future sense of self and healing of the karmic wound lies in our ability to emotionally evolve toward showing up for ourselves in a new way, individually. To show up spontaneously and to be open to experimentation.
Uranus ® Taurus
Acceleration to break free from limitations related to becoming our own authority and how we survive.
Venus Scorpio Opposed Uranus Taurus
Venus in Scorpio Is about a deep inquiry into why and how we relate to others in a vulnerable way. As well as why and how others relate to us in a vulnerable way. It is not a surface attachment. It is deep and exposes us to the ultimate vulnerability: our survival. Uranus ® Taurus is the accelerated breaking free from worn-out patterns that no longer serve the ability to survive. It is related to the loss of meaning that we are experiencing as the outer reality dissolves. These energies oppose each other, referring to integrating opposite energies to find a balance between them. As we break free from our trauma patterns, we must deeply scrutinize what our attachment needs are. Ultimately, it is up to us to empower ourselves toward our survival through self-reliance and self-sufficiency. It is instinctual.
Venus Scorpio square Saturn Pisces
We are experiencing a deep inquiry into our attachments, needs, and vulnerability within relationships concerning our survival. Saturn in Pisces refers to laying down an emotional structure where none exists. It is done through experiencing reality and then inwardly incorporating how we feel about it. The back-and-forth process creates an internal structure of emotional security within ourselves in real-time. As Neptune erases the previous scope of reality, Saturn comes behind and encourages our co-creation in the new reality. The last quarter square is a crisis in consciousness square. It refers to our internal tension when scrutinizing the "why" of our attachment needs. It is a divergence from the beliefs of our cultural norms concerning how we become vulnerable, empower ourselves, and realign with our truths.
Venus Scorpio sextile Pluto Capricorn
The deep inquiry into why we attach supports the energy to empower ourselves by becoming our own authority. The deep self-inquiry helps us understand the why and how of our attachment styles and allows us to understand and seek ways to empower our own individual survival modes.
Venus in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces
The deep inquiry into why and how we attach integrates with the flooding of the psychic realms.
What does it all Mean?
It means that we are continuing our journey of growth and self-empowerment. Our world is changing rapidly, and we are experiencing emotional overwhelm in the process.
We are experiencing a multidimensional issue as we are dissolving of our current reality. Emotions from the past and present are swirling, and we are having trouble understanding it all.
We are changing how we think about and process our reality. We have begun aligning with different beliefs and philosophies, which will change the perspectives that we have held.
Central to this is our emotional security. When we experience something new, we feel inwardly insecure. We aren't used to it; it doesn't yet feel safe. As we align with different belief structures, we must begin the process of becoming secure with them.
It involves creating a new emotional container for our insecurities to become secure in. We are becoming our own authority. To do this, we must become secure within ourselves. We must look at how and why we attach to others so that in the future, our attachments are associated with our ability to survive through being as self-sufficient as we can.
