Full Moon in Cancer

The Cancer-Capricorn polarity deals with the balance between the private life, domesticity, the need for security, home, and nurturance (represented by Cancer) versus the public life, career, reputation, responsibility and accountability (represented by Capricorn). Attachments and love are ruled by Cancer, while achievements and rewards/punishments are ruled by Capricorn. In some ways, this polarity deals with the balance between unconditional love and conditional love as well. While Cancer most enjoys attaching to the home and family, Capricorn urges us to attend to the responsibilities to the outside world, and conquer our earthly experiences. Neglecting either end of the spectrum will surely backfire on us. This Full Moon calls us to balance our commitment to our career and families.
