Good evening! Thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet, and welcome to the first Moon Scope of the new year!
For those who are new to my website, the Moon Scope is something I usually write twice per month for the new and full moons. The title, Moon Scope, is a combination of the words horoscope and moon.
Let’s begin..
It was widely believed that the time of full moon was one of craziness, and that’s where we get the word lunatic. Thanks to popular culture, humanity was brainwashed into thinking the full moon made people crazy, but that’s not true at all. As a matter of fact, during my own research, I found that there’s more murder and a general increase in violent crimes when the crescent moon is waxing.
The full moon is a time of revelation. When the moon culminates and is 100% illuminated, we have an opportunity to gain insight, wisdom, and a better understanding of what we’re doing personally.
In the astrological sign of Cancer, the Moon is home. The Moon rules Cancer, so the influence of the Moon will be stronger. Tonight’s full moon is the first full moon of 2025, and it’s going to be powerful. Set aside a half hour in the morning and a half hour in the evening so you can meditate.
This current lunar cycle, don’t forget, began on the 30th of December. That’s important to keep in mind because it’s the reason why there was a carryover or an overlap of certain issues. Old relationships, old patterns of behavior, and anything you wanted to leave in the past (2024), might’ve resurfaced during the first week of January, and it’s really because this lunar cycle began at the end of 2024.
If you have a list of New Year’s resolutions, stick with it. Create boundaries, and stand firm. 2025 is brand-new. The old, the outdated, the negative, the hate, the spiteful; all of that, which you decided to move on without, will make one last attempt to cling on and be apart of your life during this new year. Don’t allow it.
Cancer is a beautiful sign. It’s the cardinal sign of water that indicates loyalty. Cancer is about nurturing, sympathy, and kindness. It’s receptive, patient, and cool.
The new moon on December 30th was in Capricorn, and Saturn rules Capricorn. When we look at the polarity of these two signs, we see Saturn, the stern ruler of limitations and restrictions.
He’s the dominant ruling with an iron fist, and the Moon in Cancer is like the submissive. With a shrewd mind, she takes it all in.
Right now, in our lives, the above scenario might apply on so many different levels, and this full moon is waking us up by bringing us face to face with the question, “How much will you continue to take?”
The cardinal quality of Cancer will have us pushing for change, and at this point, we should know exactly what we want because..
..we’ve had an overabundance of the stuff we thought we wanted, which turned out to be everything we didn’t want. Now we know.
As we move forward, Cancer is reminding us to remain loyal to the people who’ve been loyal to us. Take care of your family members, friends, and loved ones. Be patient with them and show them kindness.
It might be a good idea to spend some extra time around the house if that’s possible. Tell your mother and the women in your life that you love and appreciate them.
Pay attention to your body and how you feel. How do you feel about yourself, your life, your friends, your job, your relationships, your health? Tune in and let your intuition guide the way. If something feels wrong, then it probably is now, so don’t ignore it.
This full moon will offer us an opportunity to change the beliefs, the opinions, and the perceptions that others have of us, and when it comes to the opinions that others have of us, we’re partly to blame. Don’t be shy. Engage, and speak up for yourself.
Before the lunar cycle begins anew, a return to your roots might be necessary. Some of us might find it helpful to return to our old neighborhoods-where we grew up. Remembering what we were like, how things were, or how far we’ve come might shed light on a current situation.
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season, and happy new year.
Once this current lunar cycle ends, 2025 will be official.
