Another month brings a Full Moon at the final degree of its sign—this time in sidereal Cancer and within the lunar mansion Āśleṣā. This phase highlights endings, resolutions, and the potential for extremes in weather and our emotional landscape.
Āśleṣā, meaning "embrace," reflects Cancer’s natural tendency for attachment. Ruled by a serpent and symbolized by a coiled snake, it evokes themes of hidden realms and occult knowledge. Once its grip is released, it holds immense spiritual and healing power. Problems begin when we get stuck.
Mercury, representing the intellect, is linked to this lunar mansion and often clings to certain thoughts and feelings, disrupting the natural flow. With Mercury ingressing Aquarius now also, you might fixate on specific ideas and lose perspective. While Āśleṣā can temporarily bind us, we eventually learn to let go of thoughts and connections that no longer serve us.
During this Full Moon in Cancer, as the Sun ingresses Aquarius, you may face issues related to attachment. Capricorn and Aquarius encourage a more detached approach, suggesting that setting healthy boundaries and recognizing where your mind tends to get stuck can help restore equilibrium.
As the Moon shifts into Leo, creating a space between attachment and detachment, you’re offered room to open up and find stillness—especially important during this Full Moon phase.
