The Full Moon in Cancer is maternal, motherly and ultra-nurturing. The mood is naturally be emotional – read your horoscope here!

Capricorn Season is in session, however honour the Cancer Moon with the following beauty rituals – my top tips…

1. Let Your Emotions Wash Over You…

As the festivities of Yule are over – and the New Year is upon us – we’re naturally set in a time of reflection.

While some of us are more sensitive than others, we all have times when we’re called to gaze up at the Moon in wonderment. During this Full Moon in Cancer we have an opportunity to attune, take time, and allow our emotions – and the natural ebb and flow of life – to wash over us.

Try to make your way toward water, ideally the sea, to meditate on its waves…

“I just want to feel as much as I can, it’s what soul is all about.”

Janis Joplin – born Just Before A Full Moon In Cancer, Sun in Capricorn, Moon in Cancer, Aquarius Rising…

Feel as much as you can – Cancer the Crab has a soft inner shell, and represents the past, nostalgia, refuge, home life and safety.

Not only does Cancer like to retreat and stay safe in its shell or comfort zone, it processes inwardly, healing and dealing in a quiet zone.

We can too hunker down on this Full Moon, grateful for shelter, security and kindness of our family: real or imagined.

Observe feelings that arise in self and others, reflect and see what comes up!

Capricorn Season can be cold, hard and unforgiving depending on the conditions you live in. :et this be the moment in your month where you soften gently – appreciate those that take care of you.

Maximum awareness can help illuminate women’s issues, home and hearth, so nest and settle in your space: your house, community or your body…

3. Sleep Aid, And Beauty Sleep…

I love my beauty sleep!

And I get cranky if I don’t get enough shut-eye, plus it’s bad for your beauty, dehydrating the skin, creating a dark circles and general puffiness.

It’s a scientific fact that the full moon interrupts the restfulness of our sleep-state so help your body attune to the moon with a relaxing bath, using lavender to soothe the senses.

Take that ritual bath and unwind.

Remember, the full moon is a time of heightened feeling and celebration, now more so in the water element.

This Full Moon could bring out our sensitivities! Cancer is the most feeling and hyper-sensitive of all the zodiac signs. Ruled by the moon, Cancer is the zodiac’s ultimate homebody. It’s an incredible time to get in touch with your subconscious and intuition…

4. Pearly Queen, Dust Yourself Down…

Pay homage to all crustaceous creatures with a dusting of translucent powder and pearly touches…

Cancer is the sign best suited to luminous looks, with clear, bright skin their calling card. This zodiac sign can literally look like the Moon! So, step out on this special Full Moon fair-a-face…

A Nod To Nostalgia, Glam it up…

5. Love From Within…

I adore this quote from Eartha Kitt – a Capricorn Sun & Mercury with a Cancer Moon.

“It’s all about falling in love with yourself and sharing that love with someone who appreciates you, rather than looking for love to compensate for a self love deficit.”

Eartha Kitt

Take it from a Capricorn with clout, it starts from within.

We can then look to others to soften the path, someone to appreciate rather than fill our cup with love. Kitt had not only the Moon but Pluto in Cancer, too, together with the North Node in the Crabs Sign.
