The Moon moves out of Gemini into Cancer at 11:11 AM EST until Monday - January 17, 2022.

The Moon in Cancer trine Jupiter in Pisces at 6:31 PM EST. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

Today the Moon is in Cancer, which is THE MOST emotional, moody and hyper-sensitive sign of the zodiac. Folks, don't take it personal. If you are Cancer, Cancer Rising, have a Cancer Moon, South Node Cancer or a bunch of planets in Cancer, you likely take things personal when it's not about you at all.

Sure as I'm sitting here, you might be telling a story about yourself and the person with a load of Cancer in their chart might say, "I don't do that!" and then you say, "I didn't say you did, I was talking about myself." And the person with the Cancer heavy chart might even 'snap' and say, "I'm just saying, I don't do that." Arrrrghhhh!

Folks, this lunar influence really takes things personal, which can be really self-centered when you think about it. How ratty is that when you are trying to share an emotional experience and it gets twisted and stolen from you?

Needless to say, this makes it REALLY HARD to share with family because even though you may have grown up in the same house, your experiences and perspective may be completely different. And now here's the thing, Mercury turned retrograde yesterday, the natural ruler of Gemini and Virgo.

Under the people category rules Mercury rules siblings, neighbors and first cousins, and those who work in media, marketing, promotion and communication of the 3rd house of Gemini. Mercury also rules co-workers, employees, servers, clerks, day-to-day people in service to you including volunteers and those in healthcare of the 6th house of Virgo. Just take a step back and dial down your communication or return calls after this Moon in Cancer is over.

Well double-rats! The Full Moon on Monday is in Cancer at 6:48 PM EST. The Cancer Moon will not end until 11:03 PM EST on Monday and the Cancer Moon will oppose Pluto on Monday late afternoon as well. DAY-YANG!

So let's double-back, it's not about you unless you make it about you. Then guess what? It turns into all about you and the person who was sharing their experience, plight, feelings or moment with you just lost connection with the person they were trying to share. Now they are feeling 'less than' because they were trying to share something, which turned into something even more emotional and now someone is crying. You and/or them.

If you are going to share today or through this Cancer Moon, for God's sake, make certain it is with someone who can handle 'emotional sharing' and won't take it personal or twist it into something that it is not. This is a tough Moon and chances are, tears will be flowing in an over-reactive crumpled up mess.

I'd say if you can get through the Cancer Moon without sharing 'anything' then do that because this Cancer Moon just cannot handle it. It wants to. It really really wants to but it can't. It wants to be there for you, but it just can't. The Cancer Moon can feel for you and put itself in your moccasins, but the bottom line is it's too much because it's hyper-sensitive. And if you won't share or don't share then that is taken personal too.

Can you see how different a Capricorn Moon is to a Cancer Moon. The Capricorn Moon will sober-up your emotions and tell you exactly how it is and tell you to get up and "MARCH! Take a tissue with you and MARCH damn-it!"

Let's say you have a strong Cancer chart and some Capricorn planets or a Capricorn Moon, then the Capricorn Moon or Capricorn strength of the chart will sober-up your emotions. It's like having cold water splashed in your face and it will sober-up your emotions real quicky. WHAP!

I have a natal Capricorn Moon and I always say that I carry a long 2x4 in my back pocket that reaches through phone lines. WHAP! If you called me, then you must be ready for me because I'll rattle your cage and you will thank me for it.

So here's the thing, if you are feeling emotional during this Cancer Moon and soon-to-be Full Moon in Cancer on Monday, then share with someone who can disconnect from your feelings and let it be about you.

I don't know why empaths think they need to take on your stuff because that is a party foul of huge proportions because empaths DO NOT get permission to rescue anyone and take on their stuff. We have a Rescuer and a Savior called, "Jesus, The Christ."

I am an empath and NEVER give myself the 'almighty powerful go-ahead' to take on other people's stuff. There are karmic reprecussions for taking on other people's stuff with or without their permission. YOU DON'T GET TO DO THAT! That's not helping people. What are we supposed to say to the empath for that? "Poor you? Awe? You're so kind?" I don't think so. Can you hear my Capricorn Moon?

If you are an empath and you are going to help someone, then remove yourself and help them because it's not about YOU, otherwise get out of the way, and clear the path for the real teacher, facilitator, coach, professional, etc.

I can't stand to hear empaths talk about how they take on and absorb other people's stuff. I wouldn't brag about that because I do NOT believe these people to be gifted or have proper control over the gift. Stay away from those who brag about absorbing other people's energy lest they dump that heap of mess on you. How can they (the empath) possibly be clear and have clarity and help you if they take on others people's stuff. It doesn't make sense. Stay away from those braggadocious so-called healers.

And there's more!!! Tonight at 6:31 PM EST the Moon in Cancer will trine Jupiter in Pisces. Well, we do like this aspect if you are going to be with family, laughing and having fun. But when you start mixing alcohol with Jupiter (or Neptune) then it turns the fun and games into something it was never meant to be. Thank God this is a trine and not a square. Jupiter is the ancient ruler of Pisces and Neptune is the modern-day ruler of Pisces.

This can be a really great night with family because a 'trine is sublime'. Cancer rules home and family. Both Cancer and Pisces are THE MOST intuitive signs of the zodiac. This can be a great evening of spiritual connect, conversation, fun, laughing, optimism and adventure. Jupiter is FUN! Just make certain the Cancer Moon does not rain tears on the parade by being too serious and not being able to take a joke.

There is the option of retreating into your shell and being still or quiet. You can do that . . . but, did you know that Cancer is 'the clown' of the zodiac? I've written about this to you many times. Cancer the crab dances across the sand and performs. Cancer has a really dry and serious fun sense of humor. Roll with that, especially since it is coupled with Jupiter. Stay in touch with your feelings so you will know what to say and what not to say. Just sayin'. (winky wink)
