Super Moon in Cancer

The Moon rules over our most primal needs. When you are in that needy, lunar mode (like you will be with today’s Super Moon in Cancer) then you’re not exactly sensitive to the needs of others. You want what you want and you won’t be satisfied until you get it. If you’ve ever seen children begging their mothers for a piece of candy or being carried out of the toy store crying at the top of their lungs – one hand outstretched for the beloved stuffed animal that’s been denied them – then you know how powerful these needs can be. It’s not a pretty sight. Yet lunar needs, like a child’s needs, are simple to appease. Give a child something – anything – and they’ll be fine. It’s when you deny or repress them that there will be hell to pay. Signs most affected: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn
