On any given day, there is so much going on in every daily chart wheel, so please stay on top of the 'Daily Horoscopes' as I write them, and today I will stick with what is exact today. Continue to track the aspects using the January 2025 Astro Memes.

What you are seeing below with the nine (9) Astro Memes really isn't even all of the aspects that are in this chart wheel, but this is 'the obvious'. This is what it is like for all of us on any given day. A chart that is chock full of aspects, some exact (like today's) and some not exact, but definitely in the picture and making an impact.

When the Moon opposes the Sun, this is your 6 month check-up of the New Moon in Cancer that occurred back on July 5, 2024. The New Moon represents 'fresh starts' and 'new beginnings' while the Full Moon is your 6th month check-up to that 'thing' you began back then. You should be well on your way to make that 'thing' a reality. The Full Moon is when you should be 'wrapping it up' and be well on your way through that new thing you started six (6) months ago.

This Full Moon in Cancer is accompanied by the Sun in Capricorn trine Uranus Rx in Taurus. Keep in mind, the Sun is part of the aspect that makes up the Full Moon. The Full Moon is when the Moon and the Sun are in opposing signs. So the Moon is in Cancer and the Sun is in Capricorn, while the Sun in Capricorn trines Uranus Rx in Taurus. See the chart wheel for the visual.

While the Cancer Moon is certainly about home, family, domestic affairs, the mother and the biological and psychological foundation of the individual's life, let's not forget that the sign of Cancer needs SECURITY! We are all finding ourselves looking closer at our lives, evaluating what is Truly the most important as we have seen so many homes and lives washed away by Hurricane Helene or incinerated by the California fires.

This Full Moon is not only about our emotional security, it is about our financial security. Cancer energy absolutely needs to feel secure or it is left feeling insecure. Nothing is more important to Cancer energy than 'feeling' secure. This is why those who have a Cancer Sun Sign, or who have strong Cancer charts, or even a South Node Cancer will often have hoarding issues. Either there is a hoarding issue or these individuals have several collections of collectibles.

Mon. January 13, 2025 Full Moon in Cancer at 5:27 PM EST at 24 degrees 00 minutes

Cancer holds on tightly to who and what it Loves. Cancer is also the one who will bad-mouth a family member and gossip about a family member much more quickly than anyone else. Certainly Cancer loves and enjoys their family, but they will unload the family secrets on anyone who will listen. Cancer is the martyr of the zodiac, but it is also the domestic goddess/god of the zodiac.

Cancer rules our childhood and our biological and psychological foundation (the childhood home). So you see folks, you 'get to' choose how you see your childhood. It's either poor-me-syndrome or it is strength-through-family. You get to choose whether you will claim weakness due to your childhood experience or whether you will claim strength through your childhood experience.

Notice how I used the words 'due to' or 'through'. No matter what occurred, you 'get to' choose how you will view, channel and use the energy to live your Life. You are no longer in your childhood, you are now in adulthood, unless of course you are still living your childhood 'through' your adulthood. Use the experience to create a better Life now!

Full Moon's have a heavier 'orb of influence' within 3 to 5 days on either side of it occurring, but I like to give it a full 7-day 'orb of influence' to account for your intuition. This Full Moon in Cancer will impact us for the next 6 months and take us up to the next New Moon in Cancer that will occur on Wednesday, June 25, 2025 starting the New Cancer energy cycle all over again.

So you see folks, once a month, we get a 'fresh start' and 'new beginning' in each new Sun Sign impacting us in the house the area of our chart that they represent.

Sit back and think about how bright a Full Moon is and how you can literally see in the dark by the Light of a Full Moon. Seriously, don't read any further for a couple of minutes. Just take in the awesomeness of how the Light of the Moon can serve as a flashlight when we are in the dark. The Full Moon is not only a spotlight, it is a beacon. It has a dual purpose.

Think about the contrast between Light and dark. Picture these moonbeams shining like a flashlight on a certain area of your Life. It's like seeing a dark stage with a spotlight shining on the performer, which makes the subject or subject matter pretty dang obvious. At the same time it is a beacon that serves as a guiding light.

The real meat of the Full Moon in Cancer. Even though this Full Moon naturally rules the emotions, feelings, moods and sensitivities, the gift that it really has is the gift of intuition. While Pisces is THE MOST intuitive sign of the zodiac, Cancer is THE SECOND most intuitive sign of the zodiac. While Pisces is THE MOST fearful sign of the zodiac, Cancer is THE SECOND most fearful sign of the zodiac.

So you see, these two Sun Signs really feed off each other's intuition and fear, and often times afraid of their intuition for fear of 'who knows' (this time).

All too often this energy is misguided, mischanneled and misunderstood. There is no doubt about it, this lunar influence can make you look crazy. Once you start pouring energy into feelings like emotions and moods, then you have just lost the game and you will be easily trampled, infiltrated or just pouting in your own self-absorbed misery.

If you need to dive into your feelings and help someone understand your emotions and moods then use the starter phrase, "I feel . . . " instead of saying, "You . . . " and just going into full-throttle crazy and accusing someone of not understanding you. Believe me, no one is going to understand you or want to listen to you when you begin your rant with "YOU".

The motto "I feel therefore I am" is really about intuition, Think of the keywords that go with "I feel therefore I am" -- intuition, intuitive, intuit, instinct, gut, sensitivity, sense, touch, premonition, hunch, knowing, unjustified proof, insight, etc. Need I go on? Can you see how you'ing someone would literally squash your "I feel" if you go into full-blown YOU-YOU-YOU fingerpointing, accusation, guilt-tripping, directing, blaming or shaming?

The Sun trine Uranus is absolutely REQUIRING you to run your Life like Danielsan from the 'Karate Kid', meaning 'wax on - wax off'. Workin' on this, workin' on that, doing this, and doing that, going there and staying here.

You SHOULD BE doing it all, while at the same time focused on your own self-care, abilities, talents, skills, drives, ambitions and dreams.

We are living Life in the midst of crazy in the political and societal sense, and then there is your Life behind closed doors that no one sees or knows about you. That's crazy too! Right?

If people only knew what you were dealing with, right? If everyone knew what you were juggling on any given day, right? If only others understood what you are waiting for - a deposit, the results of a lab test, approval on an application, a phone call for a job, news on how a Loved. And everyone is out there dealing with what they are dealing with, doing their best to hold it together while driving a 2,000 lb. vehicle or holding an armful of groceries, keys, a drink and a purse trying to get into the house.

'They' (others) don't know how crazy your world is and you don't know how crazy their world is. We are all driving cars and grocery carts trying to get 'er done in time . . for what? . . more crazy?

Well folks, ya' gotta focus. You have to keep taking care of yourself, you have to continue on, you have to get deep into self-care, and I mean your invisible and visible environment, meaning your mental health and your physical health. The Nodes have moved into the North Node Pisces (mental health) and the South Node in Virgo (physical health). This energy lasts from January 11, 2025 until July 26, 2026. It is going to be one long 1-1/2 years of massive, crucial and outrageous health issues from mental to physical health.

Folks, do not let yourself become so distracted that you forget that you are on 'your own path' and you have stuff to do. AND YOU STILL HAVE TO PREP! I can't even say that enough.

The Sun is reaching out and touching Uranus in Taurus. You may finally have a change-of-heart and embrace a higher level of self-worth. After all, Taurus rules self-worth, which translates into net-worth. Maybe through your prepping you have finally learned what you really need and what you don't need. What will help you in a crisis situation and what will not?

BE BOLD, BE CRAZY! So what if you hear, "No". Be bold again. You will not score a goal unless you shoot the damn puck at the net. That is a fact. If you don't smack the puck at the net, you have ZERO CHANCE of scoring. And the more times you shoot in the direction of the net, the 'Law of Averages' alone says you will eventually score. It's like knocking on doors or phone calls. The more you knock, the more you call, the greater your chances of getting through.

The energy right now is magnetic! A lot of times in Astrology an individual will anticipate a certain aspect to arrive, neverminding that there should be some prep work and prep time involved on their part, letting the Universe know that you are getting ready for it. Use your intuition to sense the energy and then grab it when it arrives.

Uranus is quick, sudden and strikes quickly. Just like lightning and a LIVE circuit, Uranus strikes when you least expect it. But hey wait, we know the Sun is trine Uranus, so we kinda pretty much expect something, if not 'anything'. Meaning, anything is possible. But in that expectation, expect what you don't expect, and even that is not what you expected.

This trine is a Good thing as the Sun and Uranus work together with all their electrical output and solar flares spewing out into the ethers. As this occurs, they are catching the energy of each other. It's like seeing someone clear across the room that you connect with and there is this special energy. In this trine we will call it personal magnetism. Gosh, you may as well put your personal electro-magnetism to work. Turn it on and turn it up baby!

This energy can easily be misunderstood and mischannelled, as we will see a lot of people going out of their way to be rebellious and attention-seeking, but what happens is the 'necessary rebellion' gets lost in the misdirection. It's like an individual saying, "Look at my crazy self", instead of "look at my talent/gift/skill!"" In other words, crazy antics will make us forget ol' so-and-so had a great talent, but now we are focused on the crazy.

Folks, these aspects always leave room for your 'free will', so you can mess this up if you want and take the long way home. It's nothin' but a choice and you have plenty of them, choices that is.

This Full Moon in Cancer impacts your 4th house of home and family. It describes your roots, your heritage and your private life. This house also rules land, property, residences, domestic affairs, psychological foundations, biological inheritance and place of abode.

For Aries, you will probably have to closely monitor your emotional actions and reactions around the domestic sphere more than any other sign. This emotional and moody lunar influence is challenging your 4th house of home and family. Not only because the Moon is moving through your 4th house of home and family but because Cancer rules home and family. Self-monitor your impulsive actions and reactions and steer clear of conversation that could lead to locking horns with someone else. You may be looking for a fight and that will likely not go over very well. Maybe you should rethink the whole aggressive approach and just remove yourself from the situation for a few days. As such a youthful sign, you are still old enough to know when to simply back off. Sometimes backing off and watching the movie play out is more entertaining that getting involved in it yourself. Watch the scene like a movie and that will keep you fascinated enough to stay out what is really going on that has nothing to do with you. Aries tends to make things about themselves that are really not about you. Stay out of it.

This Full Moon in Cancer impacts your 3rd house of communication, writing, mental abilities, sales, marketing, media, advertising, publicity, campaign, blog, website, lower education from 1st to 12th grade, early learning, immediate environment, short journeys, local travel and travel within your own country. It also rules neighbors, siblings and extended siblings such as cousins, nieces and nephews.

For Taurus, make certain that you do not allow this emotional, moody and sensitive Moon to overtake your mind and turn something positive into something negative. Once you start breathing heavy and it becomes audible, then it makes it easy for others to predict your next move. That's when you turn from a cow to a bull, while someone else plays the role of matador and provokes you. Don't be so emotionally predictable and take things so personal. When you use this lunar influence, make certain that you are using it for intuition rather than emotional reactions toward someone else. This Cancer Moon can bring you wonderful awarenesses about yourself when you use focus on your mental abilities rather than ignore them. Since this is the house of communication and the Moon is in Cancer, which rules home and family it's a perfect time to connect with family and share the Love. As the melodious cow and the placid bull, you can be either at any given time. Use your melodious cow voice and bat your eyelashes to get what you want. It will work. (winky wink)

This Full Moon in Cancer impacts your 2nd house of value systems, physical possessions and money, personal self esteem and talents. This house also rules your personal earnings, bankers, budgets, money that "you" make, material resources, value system, monetary gains and losses, security. Basically this house is about your self-worth.

For Gemini, notice your actions and reactions because they will be a reflection of your self-worth. The temptation to spend or likely over-spend on the home and/or family members will be great so you will need to tame your spending. Hide your credit cards and focus more on how to pay off any balances. Besides, NO ONE needs to carry all of their credit cards on them all the time. When you open your wallet, the credit cards might reveal how much money you don't have (bills) and not how much money you do have. Make certain that you aren't just trying to buy Love and do not OVER treat yourself under this Full Moon because you are quite capable of saving the money. You don't need to spend just because you can. It's okay to save money. This is the perfect time to restrict, limit and become more responsible, simply because you can. Keep your mouth zipped if others turn emotional, moody and hyper-sensitive. If anyone can keep it light and goofy, it's you!

This Full Moon in Cancer impacts your 1st house of identity and how other's see you. This house also rules the personality, your attitude, how you see the world, how you look, appearances, your worldly outlook, and self-awareness and how you respond. It includes the self, ego, anima, projected image, expression of inner motivation, soul purpose, initial approach to life and your aura. Take special note that this first house rules your soul's purpose and your inner motivation.

For Cancer, you are in your element with this lunar influence as your sign rules home and family. You have two bold choices of what type of energy you want to raditate during this Full Moon because all eyes are on the Cancer. You can choose to be Loving, nurturing and family oriented or over-emotional, moody and hyper-sensitive. You could easily make everything about you and take everything very personal or you can direct your nurturing attention to others and ask, "What can I do for you?" If you want to busy yourself and do for your family, then do that, but do not do it and complain about it. If you stand up while eating or stay in the kitchen while everyone else sits down in the other room, that's on you. Make certain you are choosing your higher-self when you are around family members. Love them fully and give them a big ol' Cancer hug by wrapping all of those Cancer the crab arms and legs around them. ah ah aaaah - no pinching with those pinchers!

This Full Moon in Cancer impacts your 12th house of the hidden realm, subconscious, past, pain, karma, jails, institutions, hospitals, mental health, finances of friends, secret sorrows, fears, self-destruction, large animals, skeletons in closet, self-undoing, depression and self-injury. It is about your hidden strengths, weaknesses and what you don't want others to see or know about you, unredeemed karma and selfless service to humanity. Refrain from letting this house frighten you because it is necessary that you look at your own self-undoing in order to keep yourself on the straight path.

For Leo, you will probably have it a little rougher than the other signs under this Cancer Moon. Leo could easily go into a funk (self-pity, sulking or pouting mode) because this lunar influence impacts your 12th house of self-undoing and pain that you hide from others. It can also cause you to roar or complain just to be left alone. Now now Leo, I've told you this many times before, if you sulk or pout that would be playing into your weakness and Leo doesn't even like to hear the word "weakness". How dare I even say such a thing! Don't scratch me. You need to play UP your strengths because you have such a strong spirit. That's a lot better than slipping into a funk and going into your den to sleep. This Cancer Moon represents the home and family, where you should be showing the Love, rather than withholding the Love. If you don't give Love, it will be a challenge to receive it in return. And Leo always likes to have their mane (ego) stroked.

This Full Moon in Cancer impacts your 11th house of friends, groups of people, social acquaintances, former relationships (ex's), organizations, alliances, fraternities, memberships, money from the employer, finances of employer and stock exchanges. It is also about your hopes, wishes, dreams and the future.

For Virgo, you may stray off the beaten path and do something a bit out of character. Sometimes you are just too dang predictable. Okay, a lot of times you are predictably predictable, which can be fairly boring for others if things always have to go according to a plan or schedule. Mix it up a little bit. A little juice and surprise in your life will not hurt you a bit or those you influence. You could use a few wonderful surprises in your Life but if everything has to happen in a certain way and at a certain time, then Good luck thinking you will receive a surprise. Go off the beaten path because there is more to Life beyond a well-planned and predictable schedule. You are a mutable sign, which means changeable and flexible. Lighten up. Sometimes your seriousness takes all of the joy out of the fun.

This Full Moon in Cancer impacts your 10th house public life. This house also rules fame, notoriety, occupation, career, ambition, government, military, chief executives, business life, goals, ranks, political position, status, standing in the public eye, position in society. It shows your standing in the community and social status. It can reflect your attitude to parenting.

For Libra, there is a strong possibility during this Cancer Moon that you could be complaining about your work to family members. You may grab hold of a certain subject matter and may not be able to let it go. You may even complain in tid-bits, like pinching here and there all day long, unable to stop mentioning that 'thing'. You might even see some of your co-workers as family but will have plenty to be crabby about if you get to talking about it. Leave work at work and tend to your family at home. Refrain from bringing work home during this Full Moon influence. Leave work at the office or at the front door threshold. In other words, compart'mental'ize your priorities. When you are at home, you are HOME. When you are working, you are at WORK. If you work from home, then in your office or at the top you are at WORK. Compart-mental-ize. You are one of the three (3) intelletual air signs (Libra, Aquarius, Gemini) that's why compart-mental-izing works for you.

This Full Moon in Cancer impacts your 9th house of the dreams, visions, goals, ambitions, new adventures, new experiences, higher-thinking mind, religion, college, higher education, teachers, legalities, brothers and sisters-in-law, philosophy, prophecy, philanthropy, all things "foreign", intuition, long distance journeys abroad, churches, airlines, vacations and international commerce.

For Scorpio, your higher-thinking mind is asking you to step beyond your usual mindset and take yourself higher. This emotional, moody and sensitive Cancer Moon can turn Scorpio into Mr. or Miss Crabby Pants. This Cancer Moon has pinchers and so does Scorpio and you know all too well how cranky you can get. Take yourself beyond your usual response and entertain your ambitions, goals, dreams and visions. You should be able to see your Life clearer right now simply because your intuition is heightened under this fluid and watery Moon. Tap your intuition and let's see you create something great out of absolutely nothing. Remember, you have the Midas Touch like King Midas. You are also the Phoenix Rising who is able to transform and create out of the ashes.

This Full Moon in Cancer impacts your 8th house of the wealth of your spouse or business partner, joint resources, support from other people, insurance, legacies, other people's money, stocks, bonds, taxes, inheritances and wills. It also includes, surgeries, spirituality, astral experiences, the metaphysical realm, transformation, regeneration and covers death or endings (rebirth), sex and an element of legal matters.

For Sagittarius, you may be quite emotional and sensitive during this Cancer Moon in your 8th house of jealousy and insecurity. This may have something to do with money. The jealousy and insecurity could be personal or professional. This Moon can put Sagittarius in a fearful mood and it's almost as if you are making it all up simply by being over-emotional. Knock it off because it's just too much and others will have to just tune you out! Just stop! If you are not in Love or with hanging out with the people you Love, then this is a lesson in self-Love, which actually isn't such a bad place to be simply because this experience will lead you to the place that you desire to be. Refrain from over-emotional, hyper-sensitive and moody actions and reactions, especially with the partner or spouse. You are so much more physically attractive when you are happy.

This Full Moon in Cancer impacts your 7th house of contractual relationships. This house also rules unions, lawsuits, contracts, partnerships, marriages, agreements, and open enemies with the public. This can be partnerships in business, marriage or a committed relationship that is a live-in arrangement. It also includes long-term associations, the animus (underlying passion or force), the relationship between soul and personality.

For Capricorn, relationships may take the wind out of your sails as you do your best to be more attractive and likeable. You might just be trying too hard. Too hard at anything is too hard. Coming on too strong is too strong. Remember from the writing above, over-the-top is too much. That's the first clue. Your desire to be Loved could come off as trying too hard. You don't have to try because did you forget . . YOU RULE the 10th house of public recognition. You don't have to try THAT hard. You can put yourself in a better mood simply by deciding what your responses will be to any emotional influence from others. You can either let it get to you or change your response, which in turn changes their response to you. That's right . . if you really want to change how someone responds, then change yourself and they will have to change in response to you. It's a sneaky little manipulative technique, but it sure does work. Change always begins with you. Always! Still, relationships can be over-emotional, hyper-sensitive and moody under this Cancer Moon. Go to your higher-self and deal with it from that place.

This Full Moon in Cancer impacts your 6th house of daily life, health, hygiene, food, work ethic, employees, service, skills, servants, clothing and sickness. It is about the service you give to others and your daily habits, routine, the working environment, pets, animals and service.

For Aquarius, this Cancer Moon could steer you into cranky-pants territory while you are trying to get organized, planned and scheduled. After all, this Cancer Moon does represent the pinching crab. This Cancer Moon can be very Loving, cuddly and sweet especially when around family, even for the aloof and distant Aquarius. All the same, the moodiness and crabbiness can show up and ruin all the fun when you become too serious at such a fun time of year. While someone might want to get close to you, you may not want to get close to them. Catch yourself if your responses turn emotional and moody, especially while you are in the midst of getting organized or trying to add some structure to your daily routine. You want to stay focused but others just won't let you. RATS! Maybe you can explain that you are busy and you will need a moment . . a few hours . . the whole . . or that you will get back to that person next year. In 2021. (winky wink)

This Full Moon in Cancer impacts your 5th house of pleasurable activities, parties, romance, dating, Love affairs, playtime/acting, sensual emotions, Lovers, parenthood and sexuality, creativity, artistic pursuits, hobbies, recreation, procreation, babies, pregnancy, children. It also includes leisure, games, sports, self-fulfillment, joy and bliss.

For Pisces, this Cancer Moon is a cuddly and intimate Full Moon as it pulls on your heart strings and you turn into a Lover, not a fighter. Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer will probably have the best Full Moon experience out of all the 12 Sun Signs. This is an incredibly fertile time for Pisces where you could be around a school of fish (lots of children) or creating an environment for children such as a nursery, playroom or even getting intimate with your Lover. Refrain from getting too deep in conversation with a Loved one, although intimate, connected and Loving conversation will prove to be fruitful. This is an absolute perfect time to be with the one you Love. If you can't be with the one you Love, don't Love the one you are with . . call the one you Love!!! Kissy kissy. You may feel a strange need to pinch with your words. My advice is, don't do that. The sarcasm that can occur in your voice may not be as funny as you think and can be telling of your level of confidence or 'issues'. Be the Loveable self you were meant to be.
