Many planets are involved in this Full Moon chart -- including Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars, who are all still Retrograde.
- At the time of the Full Moon, Uranus will be in Taurus, sextiling the Moon in Cancer and trining the Sun in Capricorn -- this will support the integration of the Full Moon polarity. Uranus will become exalted a week after the Full Moon becomes exact, as it prepares to end its 5-month Retrograde phase on Jan. 30th.
- The Moon in Cancer aligns with Retrograde Mars, and they both trine the Neptune-North Node alignment in Pisces
- Saturn (the ruler of Capricorn) aligns with Venus in Pisces; both square Jupiter in Gemini at the time of the Full Moon.
- Mercury, the planet of communication (aka “the messenger”) is currently in Capricorn and sextiles Venus in Pisces
- The most challenging aspect in this Full Moon chart is a T-Square — with Chiron in Aries as the Focal Point -- making Libra the Solution of this T-Square.
All of the above-mentioned play an important role, so buckle up! More about the specifics regarding all of these planets in a moment. But first, let’s talk about the first Full Moon of 2025:
This Lunation shows us how well we are doing with self-care and any issues connected to family or home -- and also where we are in connection to greater emotional responsibility and self-alignment.
Ask yourself: What’s my relationship to self-care? Where do I feel most "at home"? What’s my understanding of my emotional needs?
How might an emotional connection to myself and my loved ones benefit me? How might it shift my priorities?
We have a heightened sense that something must be brought into balance and reintegrated; the balance in question is between the experience of our personal feelings and emotional needs (symbolized by Cancer), versus our outer obligations or material, practical goals (Capricorn).
It's important to realize that we all have limitations and challenges in life -- and when we approach those in a nurturing way, taking care of our feeling body and inner baby, and allowing ourselves to receive support from family or "familiar" connections", we are more likely to overcome those challenges and be realistic about current limitations -- our own, and other people's.
Ask yourself: How am I balancing the demands of my outer and inner life? Home life vs. career? Where am I able to be mature and self-reliant -- and also contribute? Where am I giving too much? Not enough?
Do I love what I do and where I live? Where do I need to re-evaluate my goals and priorities? Where do I need to set healthy limits and boundaries?
Any Full Moon also has us look more closely at the denser vibrations or shadow components of the energies involved. Cancer must learn about receiving and developing healthy roots; Capricorn, about giving back and sharing the fruits of its labor.
With Cancer, this is also our ability to feel safe from within -- but what protected us in the past may no longer work -- our needs may have changed over time.
The more we disregard our own feelings and needs, the greater the risk that we will violate the concerns and rights of others.
Ask yourself: What happens when I don't allow myself to feel my feelings or acknowledge my needs? Where do I need to shed my defenses? Where do I need to establish better boundaries? Where do I react instead of respond?
The latter question is so important that I created a webinar around it: "React vs. Respond -- Where in the chart can we learn about our emotional maturity?" ==> If you haven't seen it yet, click here for more info!
This webinar comes with really great handouts that are very useful for understanding your own relationship to emotional maturity, and how to grow it…

Please keep in mind that working with shadow aspects is not always easy but it is essential to our personal growth and evolution on a Soul level.
As best as you can, explore the shadow components of Cancer-Capricorn and utilize the Coaching Questions, as this will promote a more conscious approach to this polarity over the next two weeks...
