Cord-Cutting and the Cancer Full Moon

This evening, at approximately 2:27 PM PST (5:27 PM EST), we will experience the Cancer Full Moon. As someone with the Moon in Cancer and the Sun in Capricorn, I find every moon cycle significant. However, this particular cycle holds extra importance because the Moon is at home in Cancer, enhancing its power. Being a water sign, Cancer embodies a natural flow, and the Full Moon during this time is an incredibly potent moment for ritual work.

Practicing With the Planets: Honoring the Moon through Rest and Ritual

While many people perceive the Cancer Moon as a time for bonding and relaxation, it is also the ideal opportunity for engaging in cord-cutting rituals. For those who don’t know, a cord-cutting ritual is a spiritual practice designed to release emotional, energetic, or karmic ties that no longer serve your highest good.

Cord-cutting can involve physically cutting a cord, paper, or any object that symbolizes severing your ties with the past. Those who enjoy candle work can also tie candles together before using fire to remove the tie.
