Full Moon in Cancer
RITUAL
Are you feeling overwhelmed by conflicting energies during this festive season? It would only be logical, given that the conjunction of Christmas, the beginning of Capricorn season, and the Full Moon in Cancer represents quite an energy paradox.
Allow me to explain: the holiday season, whether you embrace it or not, is generally a time when we're expected to be friendly, enthusiastic, and sociable. It's not always easy with social and financial pressures, and the desire to please while fearing judgment... My advice will always be to prioritise your emotional and energy well-being, no matter what.
On the other hand, we've entered Capricorn season, which brings a lot of pragmatism and logic, a call to duty and family loyalty. A very earthy energy indeed.
Then, Lady Moon, in her infinite wisdom, decides to bring us a bit of sweetness, a touch of aquatic energy, just to shake things up a bit.
This is how we find ourselves at the peak of Cancer—a sign of empathy and care. The Cosmos is well-designed, and this lunation strengthens the already present energy of winter that encourages receptivity, introspection, and warm tenderness.
Under normal circumstances, a Full Moon in Cancer is the ideal time to concoct a love potion to share with your loved ones. But, given the circumstances, prioritising self-love is more important; it will do us good!
I would like you to take this moment to only think about your own needs and desires. Whether Christmas has been a joyful or challenging event for you, it's time to come back to your centre and take care of yourself and your emotions.
For the potion of sweetness and self-love, you will need:
A glass container.
Coconut or jojoba oil.
Frankincense, rose, and bergamot essential oils.
If you don't have these, you can use sandalwood, ylang-ylang, and lemon essential oils as substitutes.
To set the mood, feel free to listen to music and light candles to open the circle and invite the Cosmos to join you. I'll let you choose the main oil according to your preferences. I have a slight inclination towards coconut, but if you prefer a dry oil that doesn't leave a greasy film on your skin, opt for jojoba oil.
Put three tablespoons in your glass container. If the coconut oil is solid due to the cold, microwave it for a few seconds.
Then, set the intention to take care of yourself. Be aware of your inherent value, simply because you exist. Let the emotions flow through you and repeat to yourself that you deserve to be loved. Deep down, in your soul, you know it; it's just easy to forget it sometimes or to put other people's needs first. But right now, you are the only one that matters. Maintain this intention of self-care, fill your heart with love, and add the essential oils: 5 drops of frankincense, 5 drops of rose, and 8 drops of bergamot. Close the lid and shake it all to mix.
To amplify the spell even more, you can also place a rose quartz stone inside, which you will retrieve once the potion is completely used. Then, let your potion charge under the Full Moon for as long as possible (but remember to bring it in before the Sun rises).
Apply it to your skin whenever you want a bit of tenderness or a reminder of your priceless being.
❂ Thank you ❂
