waxing gibbous moon in cancer
monday through wednesday the moon was placed in hyper-sensitive water sign cancer. you might have noticed themes around home, family, safety, and comfort. further to this, you could have felt called to withdraw into your "shell"; embrace introversion, and spend time at home. cancer can be a very nostalgic sign, you could have been feeling sentimental, reflecting on the past. because cancer is ruled by the moon, psychic abilities and creativity could have been heightened at this time. you could have also been feeling more moody and aware of the emotions of those around you. the moon was also in the waxing gibbous phase, nearly fully illuminated, so you might have also experienced issues with feeling overstimulated, anxious, and sleeping well. your energy levels were likely running higher and your calendar booked with social activities leading up to the full moon. this could have been a cosmically-aligned time to connect on a deeper level with loved ones; holding space for emotional conversations, sharing tender experiences, and expressing empathy. it would not come as a surprise if tears were shed during this moon transit!
my experience of the moon in cancer
monday through wednesday i felt more sensitive than usual, and very tapped into my intuition. i experienced tenderness and open-hearted, vulnerable conversations, often centered around issues my loved ones were having with their families. further to this, around this time i began to listen to music i was introduced to by my dad as a child. i spent a lot of time feeling nostalgic, connecting the songs to my childhood

full moon in leo / waning gibbous moon
at 12:54 pm est thursday, a full moon in leo will peak. ruled by the sun - star and luminary of the self, spirit, core identity, drive, ego - leo energy is full of life; feeling playful, creative, courageous, expansive, and bold. at its heart, this moon transit wants to support you in owning your full power and potential. never tame your wildness! lead with heart! live in alignment with your highest, most authentic self! lights, camera, passion!
full moons are the best time of the lunar cycle to release. ask yourself: what do i need to let go of to step into my full power and potential? what doubts, mindsets or habits are holding me back? to take this practice to the next level and connect with the element of fire (leo is a fire sign!), you may consider writing a letter or list of the things you want to let go of and then burning it. if you wish to go further with this process, practice a full moon release meditation - check out this one created in collaboration with lana evanson, an uber-talented toronto-based reiki master, meditation teacher, life coach
to build on this, you could ask yourself: when do i feel like my highest self; the most in my authenticity, in my power? what does a day look like as my highest self? then, to integrate the answers to these questions remind yourself that in every situation you have a choice to show up as your highest self or not. put space between yourself and your experience, pause, and ask: what would the person i want to be do here? then do it! be that person!
