What is a full moon in Cancer?
We will receive the necessary emotional jumpstart from the first Full Moon of the year. The full moon in Cancer on January 17, 2022 at 6:48 PM Eastern Time will result in a complete emotional discharge.
Many of us are finding it difficult to understand that we need to let go after such an eventful and exciting year. In actuality, a lot of us are holding a lot more than we are aware of. We’ve got to get used to carrying a weight that is made up of stress, emotions, and expectations.
How will Cancer be impacted by the full moon?
According to Woman & Home, the full moon on April 16 is not only a time of renewal and balance, but it also proves to be a perfect opportunity for Cancers to order their lives. The water sign ought to think about performing a little spring cleaning, claims POPSUGAR. Do those tiny things that have been on your to-do list for far too long, even if you need to clean out your car, organize your bathroom drawers, or simply organize your office at work.
Is the moon full tonight in 2022?
The Strawberry Supermoon, Mead, Honey, or Rose Moon, the Flower, Hot, Hoe, or Planting Moon, Vat Purnima, Poson Poya, and the LRO Moon are all associated with the upcoming full moon.
The next full moon will appear opposite the Sun in longitude based on Earth on Tuesday, June 14, 2022, at 7:52 a.m. EDT. The International Date Line West time zone will experience this late on Monday night, many other time zones on Earth on Tuesday, and the Chatham Standard Time zone east of the International Date Line will experience this on Wednesday morning. Around this period, the Moon will seem full for about three days, from Sunday night until Wednesday morning.
One Moon, Many Names
Native American names for full moons first appeared in the Maine Farmer’s Almanac in the 1930s. The Algonquin tribes of what is now the northeastern United States referred to this moon as the Strawberry Moon, per this Almanac. The name refers to the area’s very brief strawberry picking season.
The Mead or Honey Moon is an ancient term for this full moon in Europe. Mead is a beverage made by fermenting honey with water, and occasionally with other ingredients such as grains, fruits, spices, or hops. Mead may also be referred to as honey wine in some nations (though in others Honey Wine is made differently). According to some sources, the “sweetest” Moon occurred at the end of June, when honey was ready for harvest. In Europe, the term “honeymoon” dates back to at least the 1500s. The custom of being married in June or the fact that the “Honey Moon” is the “sweetest” Moon of the year may have led to the association between this full moon and the term “honeymoon,” which is used to describe the first month of marriage. A 19th-century claim that the word came into English as a result of the practice of giving newlyweds mead for their first month of marriage does not seem to be supported by any evidence.
The Rose Moon is another name for this full moon in Europe. According to some sources, the roses that blossom at this time of year are where the name “Rose Moon” originates. Others claim that the name derives from the full Moon’s color. Nearly in the same plane as the Earth’s orbit around the Sun is the Moon’s orbit around the Earth (only about 5 degrees off). The Sun is at its zenith for the year on the summer solstice. A full moon close to the summer solstice will be low in the sky because it will be opposite the Sun. When the full moon is low, it shines through more atmosphere and is therefore more likely to have a reddish hue, especially for Europe’s higher latitudes (for the same reasons that sunrises and sunsets are red). The full moon will be the lowest of the year for the Washington, D.C. area on June 15, 2022, at 1:56 a.m. EDT, when it will be barely 23.3 degrees above the southern horizon.
The Flower Moon, Hot Moon, Hoe Moon, and Planting Moon are other seasonal names for this full moon that I have come across cited in various sources (often with contradicting information regarding whether they are of European or Native American origin).
This is Vat Purnima for Hindus. Married women will demonstrate their love for their husbands during the three days of this full moon by wrapping a sacred thread around a banyan tree. The festivities are based on the Savitri and Satyavan mythology.
This is known as Poson Poya to Buddhists. In Sri Lanka, the Poson holiday commemorates the arrival of Buddhism in 236 BCE.
This full moon also has a name from another tribe. Although now dispersed, the mid-Atlantic region of the United States was home to the majority of this tribe. The primary language of this tribe is English, although it also contains several acronyms, obscure scientific and engineering terminology, and Hawaiian expressions (cheerfully contributed by the former Deputy Project Manager). This tribe, made up of individuals from different walks of life, many of whom have since joined other tribes, was dedicated to the study of the Moon. In celebration of the spacecraft they sent toward the Moon on June 18, 2009, this tribe refers to the full moon in June as the LRO Moon. As it continues to circle the Moon, NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is revealing details about our nearest planetary neighbor, some of which are useful for understanding Earth.
The Strawberry Supermoon
This supermoon will occur. Astrologer Richard Nolle first used the word “supermoon” in 1979 to describe a new or full moon that happens while the Moon is within 90% of perigee, which is its closest approach to Earth. Since humans can’t see the new Moon (except when it passes in front of the Sun), full supermoons, which are the biggest and brightest full moons of the year, have become more popular in recent years. Different publications use different cutoffs to determine whether full Moons qualify as supermoons because perigee varies with each orbit, but they all agree that in 2022 both the full moons in June and July do.
The Moon and Calendars
Full moons typically occur close to the middle of lunar months in many traditional lunar and lunisolar calendars. This full moon falls in the middle of the fifth Chinese lunar month, the Hebrew month of Sivan, and the Islamic month of Dhu al-Qadah (one of the four sacred months during which warfare is prohibited).
As always, it is recommended that you celebrate the full Moon by dressing appropriately.
Here is a list of astronomical events that will occur between now and the following full Moon, with times and angles depending on where NASA’s headquarters are in Washington, D.C.:
The daily lengths of sunshine reach their maximum on the solstice then start to shorten once more as spring concludes and summer begins. The earliest sunrises of the year happen before the summer solstice and the latest sunsets of the year happen after the solstice because the solar days (as measured, for example, from solar noon to solar noon on a sundial) are longer than 24 hours at the solstices.
With a dawn this year at 5:42:11 a.m. EDT and morning twilight beginning at 4:30 a.m., June 13 and 14, 2022, are tied for the year’s earliest sunrises. The beginning of morning twilight on Tuesday, June 14 (the day of the full moon) will occur at 4:30 a.m., followed by one of these early sunrises at 5:42 a.m., solar noon at 1:08:24 p.m., when the Sun will reach its highest altitude of 74.41 degrees, sunset at 8:35 p.m., and the end of evening twilight at 9:47 p.m.
The summer solstice will occur at 5:13 a.m. on Tuesday, June 21. On the day of the solstice, morning twilight will start at 4:31 in the morning, sunrise at 5:43 in the morning, solar noon at 1:09:49 in the afternoon when the Sun reaches its highest for the year at 74.56 degrees, sunset at 8:37 in the evening (making this the longest period from sunrise to sunset, 14 hours, 53 minutes, 42.1 seconds), and evening twilight at 9:49 in the evening. The latest sunsets of the year occurred on Monday and Tuesday, June 27 and 28, at 8:37:29 p.m. By Wednesday, July 13 (the day after the next full moon), solar noon will be at 1:13:53 p.m., when the Sun will reach its highest altitude of 72.87 degrees, sunset will be at 8:34 p.m., and evening twilight will cease at 9:44 p.m.
Evening Sky Highlights
When evening twilight ends at 9:47 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, June 14, 2022 (the day of the full moon), the rising full moon will be visible 3 degrees above the southeast horizon. Arcturus, located 70 degrees above the southern horizon, will be the bright star that will look closest to overhead. The fourth brightest star in our night sky, Arcturus, is roughly 37 light-years away from Earth and has a mass quite similar to our Sun, but it is older. Arcturus, which has grown to nearly 25 times its original size and shines around 170 times brighter than the Sun, has eaten up all of the hydrogen in its core and has transformed into a red giant. In around 5 billion years, when our Sun is nearly halfway through this lifecycle, it will turn into a red giant.
Each evening, the background of stars will appear to move westward as the moon cycle proceeds (although it is actually the Earth that is moving around the Sun toward the East). The bright stars Pollux on June 30, Regulus on July 2 and 3, Spica on July 7, and Antares on July 10 will be in close proximity to the waxing Moon in 2022.
On Wednesday, July 13, 2022, the full moon will be visible 5 degrees above the southeastern horizon as evening twilight ends (at 9:44 p.m. EDT). With Vega 60 degrees above the east-northeast horizon and Arcturus 59 degrees above the west-southwestern horizon, two bright stars will be tied for being the nearest to overhead. Vega is around 25 light-years away from Earth and is the fifth brightest star in our night sky. Our Sun’s mass is roughly double that of Vega, but it shines 40 times brighter.
Morning Sky Highlights
Four of the five visible planets will appear in a line above the east-southeastern horizon on the morning of Tuesday, June 14, 2022 (the day of the full moon), as morning twilight begins (at 4:30 a.m. EDT). Saturn will be to the upper right at 35 degrees above the south-southeastern horizon, Jupiter at 29 degrees above the east-southeastern horizon, Mars at 25 degrees above the east-southeastern horizon, and Venus to the lower left at 6 degrees above Mercury will rise over the east-southeastern horizon around six minutes after morning twilight starts, appearing almost as bright as Mars and Saturn. We will be able to view all six of the visible planets at once, with all bar the Earth (which we can always see) lined up from the lower left to the top right in order of their distance from the Sun. Mercury will join the group of planets to the lower left of Venus. It will be 8 degrees above the southwest horizon as the full moon rises.
With the bright star Deneb coming closest to above at 83 degrees above the north-northwest horizon, the “Summer Triangle” will be overhead. Deneb is around 20 times as big as our Sun, but because it has exhausted its hydrogen, it has grown into a blue-white supergiant with a diameter that is 200 times larger than that of the Sun. Deneb would span roughly the Earth’s orbit if it were located in the same region as our Sun. Deneb, the 19th brightest star in our night sky, is 2,600 light-years away from Earth.
Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars will appear to move each morning toward the west as the lunar cycle goes on, while Mars will appear to move more slowly. Each dawn, Venus will appear to move in the opposite direction, getting closer to the eastern horizon. Early mornings in late June should be a good time to search for the visible planets in the sky lined up in order of their distance from the Sun because for a few days around June 25, the planet Mercury will emerge just above the east-northeastern horizon at the time morning twilight begins. Saturn will be in close proximity to the waning Moon on June 18, Jupiter will be on June 21, Mars will be on June 22 and 23, Venus will be on June 26, and Mercury will be on June 27, 2022.
Four of the five visible planets will be visible in a line across the sky by the morning of Wednesday, July 13, 2022 (the day of the full moon after next), as morning twilight begins (at 4:43 a.m. EDT). Saturn will be to the upper right at 34 degrees above the south-southwestern horizon, Jupiter at 48 degrees above the southeastern horizon, Mars at 39 degrees above the east-southeastern horizon, and Venus to the lower left at 7 degrees above the Mercury will rise less than 30 minutes before sunrise, thus it won’t be seen in the dawn’s rays. It will be 4 degrees above the southwest horizon when the full moon is visible. At 64 degrees above the west-northwest horizon, Deneb will still be the bright star that will be visible as being nearest to overhead.

What is Cancer’s negative side?
Gemini has a keen interest in learning new things. With practically anyone, they can strike up a discussion. At the same time, they could find it challenging to focus on one task and finish what they start. They may be prone to gossip since they have a flair for gab. They enjoy telling interesting tales!
Cancer
It’s possible to view cancer’s reputation for moodiness as its dark side. However, Cancer’s sporadic mood swings are caused by a lack of self-care. The nurturer of the zodiac, Cancer is known for looking after the people they care about. However, Cancer can experience exhaustion or even resentment if they don’t take care of themselves.
How do you know that the moon is in Cancer?
