Full Moon in Cancer: The
Medicine of Requiem
Moon opposite Sun- 12/29/20 @
9:28pm CST
As we lay to rest a year that
faced us all with our mortality, may we find solace in the requiem song of all
that passed. Our final full moon of
2020, known as the Long Nights Moon in our Northern Hemisphere, sings a song of
comfort and care from the cardinal waters of Cancer. Again, as the New Moon whispered weeks ago,
these comforts are not without some sadness as we look back at all that
transpired this year. But we who are greeting
this Full Moon now…we made it through, and we can sing for those who didn’t.
Often, this Full Moon in
Cancer each year is one which illuminates the importance of emotional bonds and
familiar protection, no matter what we may be going through. This time, our luminaries are in a 90 degree
square to Chiron in Aries, the Cosmic Shaman who has been teaching the Aries medicine
of self-reliance with a call to ‘heal thyself’.
Alongside Chiron is the asteroid Requiem. This main-belt asteroid was discovered and
named in 1977 by Nikolai Chernykh, whose mother (Melaniya) died the day he
discovered it.
Chiron’s wisdom, at the end of
this year, tells of the great healing power in honoring all we have lost in
2020 with a collective prayer of Requiescat in Pace (Rest in Peace). And, at the same time, this dynamic square calls
for a Requiem of Woundedness that has been viral for centuries longer than
Covid19. May we lay it all to rest in
this year where we learned we cannot live well without each other. May we lay it all to rest in this year where
we learned our natural world can heal in the absence of who we were.
And may this teaching provide
the solid foundation from which Humanity creates a future of Peace with all
life on Earth.
Love and Gratitude,
Felina Lune Kavi
