January 17: Cancer Full Moon These lunations can make us more emotional than regular full moons because the moon governs care for cancer. Cancer is represented by the fourth house of home and family, and these adorable crabs always enjoy spending a comfortable evening with their favorite people and delicious food. Staying in this evening to spend time with your lover, a pet, or a current TV show can help you avoid any full moon conflict.

What happens to a Cancer sign at a full moon?
On Monday of this coming week, there will be a potent full moon in Cancer. Cancer is a kind and nurturing sign that places a strong emphasis on family. However, Pluto’s oppressive energy is in opposition to it. This will produce a tense and possibly combative environment. If you’re a parent, you might feel especially guarded of your kids right now. If you feel the want to become angry, take a few deep breaths and attempt to remain composed. The full moon has an extended effect that magnifies all celestial dynamics for several days.
As Uranus’s retrograde period ends on Tuesday, its erratic energy will be very strong. For a few days, Uranus will also be in a square alignment with Mercury, which means that travel arrangements, transportation, and technology may experience problems. Although the week is off to a tough start, remember that dynamic Uranus placements may bring about bursts of luck. Maintaining control of your emotions is essential because Uranus may present you with significant prospects.
On Wednesday, the sun moves into the fixed sign of Aquarius, the gregarious sign controlled by Saturn and Uranus. Aquarius transports us deep into the winter. The days are getting longer now, which is wonderful news. There will be a considerable increase in light.
On Sunday, Mercury will pass between the sun and Earth due to its orbit, generating an inferior conjunction. He will burn up in the sun and emerge as a morning star. Make a list of your objectives, hopes, and dreams. They will be loaded onto his merchant ship by the Master of Strategy, who will then figure out how to make them come true.
For the task at hand, the proper tool is required. Neither a rocket engine nor a pneumatic drill are required to drive a bicycle. A volatile emotional undercurrent is exaggerating what you are dealing with, which is fundamentally a straightforward issue, to enormous proportions. Be careful not to follow an overly aggressive strategy. Taking a step back will help you see the situation more clearly. There is a completely adequate and achievable solution available.
You haven’t experienced an astrological advantage in quite some time, so the fact that things are considerably better now should cheer you up. Entering this cycle will move you into the winning column. A positive series of adjustments will boost your level of happiness. You won’t have to spend your entire day dealing with issues and challenges, giving you more time to pursue your passions.
There are some things you long to accomplish but are unable to. Oddly, opportunities are arriving in places you don’t want to go. You have the impression that something is pulling you in a path you do not want to go. Although it could appear disheartening, you might be overlooking something. The muses are keen to lead you down this route because they believe there is a hidden treasure waiting for you on the other side of the wall.
Do you have the impression that some inner power is at work against you and is starting to show up outside of you? Although this may be the case, you will be able to do away with it. Who also knows the location of this force? You will gain incisive insight this week into a testing negative energy fueled by an extremely self-critical thinking. The good news is that the tide has started to turn in your favor. You’ll experience a greater sense of strength and command over your circumstances. Both spiritual and material assistance are on the way.
Your requests have been heard by the cosmos, although they seem to fall within the category of miracles. This explains why processing your order is taking so long. Try not to lose hope or, even worse, patience. Your demands are being considered, and rumors have it that some of them are realistic and even quite doable. You’ll be delighted with the outcomes when they materialize, even though they do take a little more time.
Sometimes when we wake up from a nightmare, we have an unsettling sense. The truly awful ones can even make us feel as though we are caught in a terrible trap. Do you frequently get nightmares? The good news is that they frequently alert us to imminent problems so we have time to get ready. According to astrological predictions, everything is going well. As a kind source leads you and takes you by the hand, your concerns will fade. Your future appears to be bright indeed. You need not be concerned.
We shouldn’t be demanding of the universe if we find ourselves asking for minor favors from it. Calls for assistance are not well received by the universe, especially if they are polluted by fear. This week, keep in mind that even if you aren’t particularly wealthy materially, you are rich nonetheless. Consider that idea as much as you can. Right now, determination is the key to almost everything. You have a lot of wonderful stuff at your disposal. Furthermore, if you think about them too much, they will grow.
A scenario that’s getting out of hand threatens to sweep you off your feet. There is a technique to control it, even though it seems to be getting worse. Your life now has to undergo a significant shift. Your need for adventure is pleading with you, and you are aware that things cannot stay as they are. Try to avoid interfering. Allow everything to happen organically and unhindered. Even if you might be a little leery of where they are headed, simply let it happen. As long as you refrain from putting yourself under unnecessary stress, everything will settle itself fairly naturally.
This week, achievement is possible. The path you are on will take you there, whether it is clear or not. Although it can seem to be going in circles forever, this is actually the fastest path. Although it may seem like they are leading you in the wrong way, this is not possible. Just too streetwise and savvy of you. Continue on as you now are, and you will succeed in your search.
You feel as though you are blindfolded lately since so much has confused you. What you know one instant becomes useless the next because the rules are constantly changing. But one thing is certain: you must advance with assurance and zeal for your cause. You will go to that idyllic location if you do this. Despite all the conflicting messages, clarity will emerge. Stick to what has been tried and true, and be proud of what you are doing.
It appears that a particular protracted, protracted drama is happily coming to a conclusion. But how are you so certain? It might seem too soon to celebrate, in your opinion. This has been the situation for so long that it feels like the norm these days. Without it, you could even have a sense of loss. If all the change is making you feel threatened, have faith that nothing to be concerned about. Much has been taught to you. Your graduation is at hand. There is only one thing left to do at this point, and that is to thoroughly ingest everything you have learned.
It’s an unfortunate reality that many of us have a tendency to criticize others for traits that are actually most pronounced in our own personalities. Unfortunately, the person you are working with lacks the intelligence to understand this reality. It seems that as we age, we grow more isolated. It will take some getting used to, but eventually a joyful recognition will occur. As you achieve that lovely state of contentment, you will feel incredibly grateful for everything you have learnt. Your suffering will all have been worthwhile in the end.
What does the Cancer number 69 mean?
The crab sign symbol is occasionally shown as a sideways “69 to indicate crab claws or a woman’s breast. You are frequently the protector of the Zodiac since you value your home, roots, family, and kids.
Cancer Personality
Your family is why you live. You are sensitive and kind, wanting only the best for the people you love. You are a skilled nurturer and frequently one of the top chefs. You have a thin skin and dislike being in tumultuous circumstances. You seek to create a calm environment in your home and love warm, comfortable surroundings.
You often find it difficult to deal with people who are too forthright since you enjoy nuance and innuendo. Like the crab, your totem animal, you avoid uncomfortable conversations and circumstances a lot. When done too frequently, this can result in misconceptions.
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 since 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 ladies will demonstrate their love for their spouses 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 currently 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.
