Tarot Scopes for the Full Moon in Cancer
A single card reading for the Full Moon, at 8˚ Cancer, on December 30th 2020, depicting what needs birthing into being during this powerful lunation.
Be sure to read for your Sun, Moon, and Rising sign!
Aries - The Wheel
Aries, whilst 2020 has not been the year any of us was expecting, it has at least provided us all with the opportunity to sit with everything that we have been doing, feeling, and creating, up until now, and take stock.
With this Full Moon in Cancer, you are being asked to take the insight and reevaluations which have emerged for you over the past twelve challenging months and utilise them to make the necessary changes required, in order to move ahead.
This is literally the turning of the wheel for you. The beginning of a new chapter, which requires you to relinquish the old and with it, any outdated versions you have of yourself. It’s time to be bold in the steps that you take!
Taurus - King of Cups
Taurus, as a fixed Earth sign, it is well within your nature to seek to always be in control. A fact of which is expressed most significantly in your emotionality, or lack thereof. For as grounded and generous as your nature may be, there is a propensity to be rather more guarded and rigid when it comes to your emotions.
However, over the course of what has been an intensely testing year, this level of authority you hold over your feelings may have been fractured somewhat.
The King of Cups is inviting you to lean into the softness that resides underneath your veneer of strength. There is no shame in feeling - but there is a danger, when we are not allowing ourselves to feel at all. True mastery comes when you can find the balance; whereby you’re able to witness and express what comes up, rather than be swallowed and consumed by it.
Gemini - Temperance
Gemini, your sign being inherently active and sociable - driven mostly by curiosity - is unlikely to relish neither solitude nor stillness, at least for any great length of time. Meaning that 2020 might have served up for you a lot of tension and loneliness.
The issue with feeling uncomfortable, is not so much the discomfort itself, but how we choose to deal with it. It can be easy to ‘check out’, by burying our attention and energy in activities and places which do not truly serve us, but which help distract and alleviate the irritation we may feel.
This Full Moon however, is asking that you learn to nurture yourself by way of finding balance. It’s one thing to take a moment to disconnect, but don’t get lost there. Find something which truly soothes your soul in a healthier, more harmonious way.
Cancer - Eight of Cups
Cancer, one of the most important things for your sign is your sense of security. Something of which was no doubt rocked to its core this year. Yet, the question that this unexpected turbulence raises is: how do you find that security?
When we do not nurture our own inner stability - by recognising our value and competence - we seek to find it elsewhere. And in doing so, we can often be blind to what we attach our worth and dependency upon.
This Full Moon in your sign, is asking that you take a real, honest look at the things around you - your relationships, creative and monetary endeavours, material accumulations - and decipher which are really serving you and which are merely offering you a false sense of security. It may be time to sever the ties that bind you, when it comes to the things and people which you have outgrown.
Leo - Three of Wands
Leo, this past year might have seen a diminishment of your fire, but whilst you have been held back and in place, you have been gifted the opportunity to reevaluate where you were intending to go.
Sometimes, in the passionate rush to get ahead, we miss key details. You may find that, what you were initially intending to create for yourself and life at the beginning of the year, has now been modified, expanded, and enriched.
With the backing of this Full Moon, you are being asked to brace yourself for your impending expansion by getting your house in order. Where do you hope this next chapter takes you? Use this moment to really get clear on that and then get ready for the journey ahead!
Virgo - Ace of Cups
Virgo, as the most anxious, self-critical sign of the zodiac, it is easy to imagine that often what holds you back the most in life, is actually yourself. It is natural to find that, especially during shaky times, your doubts and insecurities are leading the way, over your hopes and dreams.
However, this Full Moon is asking that you develop mastery over your fears and learn to sit with them and finally see them for what the are: false evidence appearing real.
Contrary to what I am sure you wish to be true, we are not perfect beings, only perfectly imperfect. Learning to love ourselves in the totality of who we are, fragility, ego, and all, not only sets us free to take ownership of the rewards we are due, but it also allows other to do so too.
Libra - King of Pentacles
Libra, I expect that over the course of this turbulent year, in order to find your much desired equilibrium, you had to commit to consistently finding ways to negotiate - both internal and external - choppy tides. And in doing so, it is very likely that you discovered that that which was once the answer, is no more.
Understand that it is only natural that we should outgrow certain aspects of ourselves, our desires, and in deed, our life. Yet, it is only when we allow ourselves to truly let go of these outdated parts, that we see what we are left with.
This Full Moon is therefore asking that you take ownership of what stood the test of time this year, by nurturing its growth and in turn, yours. Don’t be afraid to let some dreams fade away, so that others may flourish.
Scorpio - Page of Cups
Scorpio, it is your nature to be private, bordering on secretive. To keep to yourself both your feelings and your thoughts. Occasionally, it may even be necessary for you to do so, in order that you can hone an idea, before releasing it out into the open, for public scrutiny.
This entire year may have acted as a gestation period for you and your creative endeavours, in whatever form they have manifested. However, this Full Moon is asking that you finally begin the birthing process, so that your seedling may be allowed to bloom.
Trust your greatest skill - your intuition - to know the exact moment to strike the match, but be sure not to hold yourself back from ever striking at all.
Sagittarius - King of Swords
Sagittarius, I can imagine that after the recent Solar Eclipse we experienced in your sign, a lot of revelations came about for you - both in regards to matters in the exterior world, but also within yourself. Often times, when our version of reality is revealed to be just that, a version, we can be most disillusioned.
Whilst clarity may occasionally come at the cost of our fragile ego and emotional stability, it is a necessary thing to obtain in order for us to make the right decisions and take action in life.
This Full Moon is asking that you utilise the exposures that have been gifted to you over the past twelve months, by taking ownership of the truth. Remember, that which can be destroyed by the truth, should be.
Capricorn - Two of Swords
Capricorn, what a year it’s been. One which has no doubt tested your stoic, determined, authoritative resolve at times. It is natural, that even the most competent of individuals, go through moments of internal conflict during a lifetime. This does not, in any way, make you weak - merely human.
Whatever 2020 delivered and in turn, took away, you are now being asked to deliberate, what it is exactly you wish to take forward with you, on this next part of the journey, into the new year.
For you to be able to draw an accurate conclusion, you must weigh up your options with both your head and your heart. This is not the time to be purely tactical or logical, but instead, to engage your ability to feel out what is right for you in this moment.
Aquarius - The Devil
Aquarius, it is only natural, during a time when chaos seems to be the rule of the day, and certainty has all but evaporated, that you may feel the inclination to grasp on to whatever comfort you can. However, how this relief manifests itself, may not always be that relieving.
When we give our power over to something which ultimately does not support our growth, we eventually become powerless and stuck. Whether that be a pattern of thought, or a pattern of behaviour, what we don’t control, ultimately controls us.
This Full Moon is asking that you take an honest look at what in your life you have allowed to take ownership of you - perhaps as an avoidance of responsibility - and commit to taking back your personal power, so that you can flourish and grow. Personally, professionally, and spiritually.
Pisces - The Six of Swords
Pisces, it has been necessary, over the course of the past twelve stormy months, to acknowledge what was working and what wasn’t. What relationships you had outgrown, what roles you were no longer required to play, what creations had reached their expiry.
Now, with more transparency to hand, you are being asked to move forward, leaving behind, like sacrifices to the alter of your inner growth, all that no longer resonates and fits.
New chapters come at the cost of old ones and this transition and surrendering of the past can often times be painful. Yet, in order to be filled, we must first be drained. In order to receive, our palms must be open and empty. Give thanks this Full Moon, for all that you once had and let it go gracefully, in the acknowledgment that its departure makes way for something new.
