Today marks the first Full Moon of 2025, a beautiful lunar event in the nurturing sign of Cancer. Full Moons invite us to pause, reflect, and connect deeply with our inner selves. With the Moon in its home sign, its energy feels magnified—think of it like a warm spotlight on our emotional world. This is your gentle nudge to lean into those feelings you’ve been brushing aside, to hold space for your inner child, and to trust that it’s safe to feel.
My Full Moon Story
Last night, I just couldn’t shake the urge to step outside, so at 10:30 pm, I bundled up, grabbed my dog, and headed out. No headphones, no distractions—just me and the night. Everything was still, and as I looked up, there it was: the Full Moon, glowing so brightly it felt like it was speaking directly to me.
I stopped in my tracks, starred up at the moon and out of nowhere said, “I release all my fears around money. They were never my stories and I no longer wish to carry them. I invite abundance and infinite possibilities into my life.”
Yep, I said it out loud (and felt silly), but immediately felt this wave of lightness rush over me. Chills ran down my arms, and in that moment, I knew I wasn’t alone. I felt deeply supported, like the universe was giving me a giant hug, saying, “You’ve got this.”
What This Full Moon Means for You
The Full Moon in Cancer is all about creating a safe space to process, heal, and transform. Whether you feel nostalgic, tender, or overwhelmed, it’s an opportunity to embrace these emotions with curiosity instead of judgment.
For those with strong Cardinal energy (Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn placements), this Full Moon might feel especially potent. It’s a cosmic reminder to reflect on how your past, particularly childhood and family experiences, still shapes your present. Vulnerability is your superpower now—lean into it.
Releasing Old Patterns
The Full Moon symbolizes culmination and release, making it an ideal time to shed old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you. For example, my limiting money stories rooted in lack and fear stem from my childhood. If we trace them back even further, those beliefs were passed down from my parents, who inherited them from their parents, and so on. You see the pattern, right? Many of our limiting beliefs are generational, and the key to breaking free is cultivating awareness and intentionally letting them go.
Ask yourself: What am I holding onto that’s keeping me stuck? What am I ready to release so I can create more space for what truly matters?
The Moon’s cycles remind us that change is constant. Growth happens when we honor our progress and let go of what’s weighing us down. This Cancer Moon’s spotlight on home, safety, and emotional needs makes it the perfect time to nurture yourself and explore what ‘home’ really means to you—whether it’s a physical space or an internal sense of belonging.
Inner Child Meditation
To harness the powerful energy of this Full Moon, I’m inviting you to join me in an inner child meditation. This practice is designed to connect you with that tender, innocent part of yourself that craves love, safety, and validation.
You can access my meditation here.
A Final Thought
This Full Moon in Cancer invites us to reflect, feel, and release. It’s a powerful time to embrace where you are and honor your journey so far. Let this be a moment to reconnect with yourself and nurture the parts of you that need it most. You are worthy of the care and compassion you so freely give to others.
Take some time tonight to journal, meditate, or simply be. Let the Moon’s light guide you back to yourself. And if you feel called, join me in my Inner Child Meditation—a beautiful way to align with the magic of this moment.
