January 2015 Full & New Moons: Full Moon in Cancer & New Moon in Aquarius

A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are exactly opposing one another in the zodiac. It tends to signal a time of endings, culminations, and things coming to fruition. A new moon occurs when the transit Sun and Moon are in the exact same spot in the zodiac. It tends to signal a time of new opportunities, growth, and optimism.

For information on how the new/full moons may impact your sign, read the monthly horoscope.

January 4th 2015 Full Moon in Cancer
A full moon occurs at 11:53PM ET at 14 degrees 30 minutes of Cancer. In Cancer, we’re sensitive to small slights, and easily wounded. Our feelings are heightened, and we’re deeply in touch with our emotions. We crave comfort, familiarity, family, and a home. We can see the
ending or culmination of something regarding real estate or countries. This full moon squares (hard aspect) transit (moving) Uranus in Aries, and opposes transit Pluto in Capricorn. We fight against those who wish to hold us back and make us conform, rising up against those we feel
need to be taken down. There could be some civil unrest with this full moon, rebelling against authority, and wanting to take back our homes. If you're a Cancer Sun, Moon, or mid-Cancer rising, you may feel the effects of this moon most.

January 20th 2015 New Moon in Aquarius
A new moon occurs at 8:14AM ET at 0 degrees 8 minutes of Aquarius. In Aquarius, we embrace the new, the different, the unique, and want to be our true, authentic selves. We throw away our facades and proudly display our inner freak. We want to be accepted as we are, and are
accepting of others. We’re interested in the unusual, and are willing to see things in new ways, be a little eccentric, and open up our minds. We look toward the future, and everything it holds for us. We’re idealistic with our hopes and dreams, but we could probably use a little idealism. That strain of rebellion from the full moon continues, but we’re more positive about it, and try to do something constructive with the energy. If you're an Aquarius Sun, Moon, or rising, you may feel the effects of this moon most.
