This Full Moon with the Sun in nurturing, emotional Cancer and the Moon in practical, organized Capricorn is telling us that it’s a special time for loving relationships with family and close friends but keeping our boundaries is also important. As with all Full Moons there is always a balancing act between the energies of the Sun and those of the Moon. It’s like a seesaw. We are better not tilting to either extreme. With the positive aspect between the Moon in Capricorn and Jupiter in Pisces one can keep one’s boundaries without losing compassion.

Neptune is also in a positive Trine aspect to Venus which helps in bringing more compassion and depth to our relationships.
