Now Me, not New Me

Happy 2025! Last night was the first Full Moon of the new year in Cancer. It’s a time of heightened emotions and introspection.

Cancer, a water sign ruled by the Moon, governs home, family, and emotional security. This lunar event is often marked by a need for nurturing, reflection, and emotional release.

Although many take the New Year to set goals at this time, may I suggest an alternative at this moment? 

Now Me, vs New Me: Instead of making goals, this Full Moon is perfect for:

• Reflecting on emotional well-being.

• Releasing past hurts or unhelpful patterns.

• Nurturing yourself and your close relationships.

• Creating a sense of home and safety within.

Why You Might Avoid Making Goals:

1. Emotional Overwhelm: The Cancer Full Moon can amplify emotions, making it harder to approach goal-setting with a clear, rational mindset. You might feel more sensitive or nostalgic, which can cloud your judgment.

   
   

2. Focus on Reflection: This Full Moon encourages looking back and assessing emotional needs rather than looking forward to setting new objectives. It’s a time for understanding what truly matters on a heart level.

   
   

3. Need for Security and Comfort: Cancer energy emphasizes emotional safety and comfort. You might be more inclined to seek solace and reassurance rather than pushing forward with new ambitions.

   
   

4. Time for Rest and Releasing: Full Moons are traditionally about culmination and release, not initiation. It’s an ideal time to let go of what's no longer serving you, clearing emotional clutter, which can prepare you for goal-setting at a more conducive time.

By honoring the introspective and nurturing energies of the Cancer Full Moon, you can align with its natural rhythms, leading to a more grounded and emotionally satisfying path forward.
