3rd January 2026 – Excerpt from The Perennial Wheel
This Full Moon has the Moon happily in its domicile, its home of the cardinal water sign of Cancer, with the Sun in the not so comfortable cardinal earth sign of Capricorn. This illumination may bring to light emotional and sensitive motherlike qualities along with the practical and physical matters of a fatherlike nature.
The Cancer-Capricorn axis, within medical astrology represents the skeletal and structural system along with stomach and digestive as well as with memory.
Mars and Venus straddle the Sun in a 1 degree orb either side, so bring a blend of war and love, masculine and feminine energies, with androgenous Mercury several degrees away, all together creating a stellium in Capricorn.
Jupiter is auspiciously placed in this lunation situated in Cancer where he is exalted, and sat alongside the Moon in her own sign. While Saturn, the ruling planet of Capricorn is situated uncomfortably in Pisces alongside Neptune at 29th critical degree, there may be a crisis of deception that boundaries can’t hide. It is the Moon and Jupiter that are bringing the blessings here, abundant sensitive motherlike energy.
Moon, herbs and ritual
- The full moon is excellent for harvesting herbs and especially for mushroom foraging.
- Watery and feminine, a moist and fertile moon
- Support and tonify the breast, stomach and digestion, and memory
- Herbs could include chamomile, marshmallow root and dandelion root.
- A simple full moon ritual could be to take some time out, light a candle and incense and place an offering of honeyed milk or mead while mentally or verbally stating gratitude and or willed intent in prayer or meditation, then chill out.
‘The stars incline, they do not compel, a trinity of testimonial’s is needed for certainty. With foresight and preparation, a certainty can be prepared for, helping to either enhance or negate, as needed.’
These transits may affect you personally, if you are predisposed, this can be seen within your natal and other related charts, usually by what is termed a Trinity of Testimonial’s, though otherwise they are general.
If you are likely to be susceptible to this influence, making preparations of meditation and prayer, practicing forms of psychic self defence maybe necessary. The best psychic self defence is considered to be from those of your personal ancestral roots and not of foreign belief systems. Creating and maintaining a strong ancestral veneration practice is seen to strengthen against malicious forces.
The safe use of herbs and other remedies will always depend upon your unique health situation, and you should always take into consideration any possible contraindications; pregnancy and lactation, children’s doses, herb/drug combinations, allergic reactions and up and coming surgery, seek advice from your trusted health professional if not 100% sure.
