There’s only a few days left before the new year begins (check out your 2024 horoscopes to see what you’re in for next year!) but we’ve still got one last astrological hurdle to jump over: the Cancer full moon.
Now is the time to start manifesting for the new year and the magic of a Cancer full moon will help you do just that, but it also brings with it some messy feelings that you thought you’d dealt with.
Here, I’ve explained everything you need to know about the Cancer full moon.
Cancer Full Moon 2023
When is the next full moon?
The last big shiny boi of the year is a full moon in Cancer and it rises on the Thursday, December 27, 2023.
The next one after that is on Friday, February 9, 2024.
What does the Cancer full moon mean?
Since Cancer is an emotional water sign, emotions will be running high. Plus we’re in the midst of Mercury Retrograde so miscommunications are bound to happen and it could get messy.
Now is the time to release any negative emotions and pent up hostility and resentment, but make sure you pick your battles and choose your words carefully.
It’s a time for healing said traumas and washing them away so that you can move into the new year with fresh energy.
You may find that strong feelings you’ve been suppressing and avoiding may bubble up to the surface today and over the next few days. Allow this to happen! The only way to heal is by addressing what’s been getting causing you heartache and you don’t want to carry that negativity into the new year.
The Cancer full moon is actually a beautiful opportunity to start the new year afresh.
What do I do during a full moon?
We all know that full moons pack one hell of a punch, so it’s important to tap into its energy when it rises. Tonight is the last full moon of the year so get your coven together STAT.
Manifestation capabilities will be at its greatest tonight so focus on what you’ve been trying to accomplish and work on summoning it into existence using your manifestation method of choice.
For the super witchy ones among us, here’s how you can tap into the power of the full moon:
- Charge / cleanse your crystals.
- Manifest away.
- Do a tarot / angel / oracle card reading.
- Create a vision board.
- Perform a ritual.
Remember, past traumas that you thought you’d dealt with may rear its ugly head before the year is out, so be on the lookout.
It might even be a good idea to perform a full moon ritual to summon healing energy from the universe.
And there you have it! The last full moon of 2023.
