This powerful Grandmother Moon is the first one to grace us on Christmas since 1977!
"CANCER FULL MOON || Cancer is the nurturer, the mother, the caretaker. It's emotional, navigating the world sideways as it dips in and out of its self-protective shell. This Full Moon, opposite structured, rooted Capricorn illuminates our roots, our sense of home. This is the parent axis. Much has been written about this being the first Full Moon on Christmas in 38 years and many of us are being called to redefine what family means to us in these turbulent times. Whether biological or makeshift, now is the time to sink into the love in our lives, to revel in the ways we've successfully mothered and fathered ourselves and emerged whole. Let us nourish ourselves through shared connection and warmth. Wherever you are, whatever your faith, whatever your current circumstances know you are loved, that you are love. Uranus awakens from its slumber as well, jolting us into newfound territory. What better landing pad than our very own heart? Merry Christmas. I love you all" Danielle Beinstein

"Sagittarius is the explorer, the philosopher, the wisdom seeker, storyteller and jester. This New Moon square Jupiter in Virgo offers us a powerful leap forward as we continue to chart our new course, post Saturn in Scorpio. Buoyed by faith, our dreams and a thirst for freedom, we're asked to look at our belief systems, the stories we tell ourselves and others as we venture forward, where we're drawing our inspiration from. There has been a lot of inflated, bombastic talk of late, a lot of posturing, much of it hate-filled and fear based. This is the dark side of Sagittarius, the preacher unchecked and run amok. The light is to be found in the larger arc which, as MLK so eloquently stated, bends towards justice. What is the story you're telling yourself, personally and globally? What is your belief system? What is your truth? Are they aligned? And where in your life can you lean into discernment, into wisdom and into your higher power as you set sail for unchartered waters, open to all that awaits you?" Danielle Beinstein

G E M I N I Full Moon | "Gemini is the networker, the witty charmer always ready with a sharp retort. It's curious and sociable and adaptable. This Full Moon, opposite the Sun, Mercury (communication) and Saturn (karmic lessons, structure, limits) in Sagittarius and square Neptune in Pisces offers us an opportunity to look at the narratives we've constructed and whether or not they're actually serving us. We may find ourselves a little ungrounded as old beliefs and ideas begin to dissolve making way for the new. And with a cardinal T-square involving Libra, Uranus and Pluto also involved, we may revisit old themes around love and money, as we wrestle with who or what we're attracting in our lives. It's a very busy sky (how very Gemini) and one that may overwhelm, but the key here is the larger arc. So what is the story you're telling yourself? Are connecting the dots, moving in the direction of (real) wisdom, growth and expansion? And are you speaking (or writing) that truth, allowing old outworn constructions to dissolve as you continue to make way for the new?" Danielle Beinstein
