As the Cancer Full Moon graces the skies, many of us are navigating the energy of destruction and renewal. Here in Los Angeles, we’re facing the fires that bring deep emotions—anger, sorrow, fear, and sadness. While these feelings are heavy, they also hold the power for transformation. Just as fire clears the old to make way for new growth, we can channel this energy into healing. Allow yourself to feel deeply, release what needs to be let go, and embrace the possibility of renewal. Together, we can turn destruction into strength, hope, and love.
Chakra Focus: Third Eye Chakra
Candle Colors: Silver, White, Indigo
The Cancer Full Moon illuminates our emotional depths, offering a powerful moment to connect with our intuition and release what no longer serves us. Cancer, ruled by the Moon, represents nurturing, sensitivity, and deep emotional wisdom. When paired with the third eye chakra, this full moon helps us gain clarity, trust our inner guidance, and embrace our higher vision. It’s a time to let go of emotional patterns that hinder growth and welcome transformative healing.
Positive Traits of Cancer
When balanced, Cancer energy nurtures emotional depth, empathy, and strong intuition. It invites us to care for ourselves and others with unconditional love and to create a safe, harmonious home environment. Cancer’s connection to the Moon also strengthens our emotional awareness and ability to trust our instincts.
Negative Traits of Cancer
However, unbalanced Cancer energy can manifest as moodiness, insecurity, over-attachment, and fear of change. It can cause us to retreat into our emotional shells, avoiding necessary growth or holding onto old wounds.
What to Let Go Of
Under this Cancer Full Moon, release emotional patterns tied to:
• Fear of vulnerability or expressing your emotions.
• Over-attachment to the past or people who drain your energy.
• Emotional instability or excessive mood swings.
• Holding onto fear, sadness, or guilt that blocks your intuition and emotional healing.
What to Clear
Focus on clearing blocks that prevent the positive Cancer traits from shining through. This may include letting go of doubts about your intuition, self-protective habits that isolate you, or fears that stop you from creating the loving connections you deserve.

Cancer Full Moon Ritual
What You’ll Need:
• Your chosen candle (silver, white, or indigo)
• A bowl of water (Cancer’s element)
• Paper and pen
• Matches or a lighter
Create Your Space ~
Find a quiet, comfortable place to perform your ritual. Set your candle in front of the bowl of water to represent balance and harmony. Take a few deep breaths to ground yourself.
Write Your Intentions ~
On the paper, write down the emotions, fears, or patterns you wish to release. Be honest with yourself—acknowledge what is no longer serving you and what you need to let go of to step into your higher self.
Connect with Cancer’s Energy ~
Hold the paper in your hands and read your list aloud. Imagine these emotions or patterns flowing into the water, being absorbed and neutralized. Feel a sense of lightness as you release them.
Light Your Candle ~
Light your chosen candle and focus on its flame. As it burns, visualize the energy of the Moon cleansing and renewing your spirit. See yourself embodying Cancer’s positive traits—nurturing, intuitive, and emotionally balanced.
Release and Transform ~
Tear the paper into small pieces and submerge them in the bowl of water, symbolizing the release of what you’ve let go. Afterward, discard the water and paper (drain the water down the sink, take the paper shreds and put them in the trash), knowing these emotions no longer have power over you.
