Pick a Card — January 3rd Supermoon in Cancer
Welcome to your oracle message for the first full moon if the year!
Not only is this a full moon, it’s a Supermoon in Cancer — tha't’s a double, triple whammy.
Full moons are always powerful times to release what no longer serves us — to admit our limiting beliefs and surpass them because deep down, we know we deserve better. When we combine this energy with Cancer, we’re being invited to reflect on our internal and external homes. Our tender emotions, our loving community, our relationality with “the other.”
Often times, Cancer is seen as an overly emotional sign, but Cancer is a cardinal sign — an initiator of action and leadership in the emotional realm. They defend and create protective sanctuaries for the ones they care about — hopefully, including themselves.
Cancer doesn’t shy away from how they feel, or how others feel. So this full moon, ask yourself how you can lean in bravely to what no longer deserves your defense. To move on and accept change is the cardinal way.
As always, these initial oracle cards are free for everyone — if you would like access to the full readings for the Supermoon in Cancer, then join The Tarot Circle.

Card #28: The Opossum and Peony
Bashfulness
To “play possum” is to remain quiet and still when faced with danger. The expression comes from the opossum’s unique reaction to fear: it keels over and pretends to be dead. This is an instinctual response and an effective one. Spotting what appears to be a dead opossum, predators will often lose interest. Similarly, the beautiful peony follow is associated with bashfulness. According to Greek mythology, nymphs who wishes to hide from mortal eyes would disguise themselves as peonies.
When this card shows up, you may wish to hide from the world. While periods of solitude are necessary and healthful, be sure your retreat isn’t driven by fear.
This card can also suggest you’ve recently been shaken — maybe you’ve passed through some turmoil or endured a disorienting change. Now you’re ready to stand on your own two feet.
This full moon in cancer, ask yourself: How do you respond to fear —instinctually or otherwise?

Card #23: The Hound and Pear
Loyalty
The hound is the ultimate symbol of loyalty and friendship. Stories about in folklore and through history of dogs protecting their companions, saving children, and alerting their masters to danger.
The legend of Saint Gunefort is one such story: the thirteenth-century French greyhound saves his owner’s in fact son from an attack by a viper. When the owner came upon the scene, he found Guinefort with bloody jaws, sitting beside the empty cradle. Believing the hound to be the murderer, the owner killed Guinefort. Only later, when he heard his son’s cries and discovered him beneath the cradle next to the dead snake, did he realize his tragic mistake. Like the faithful hound, the pear is a symbol of care and affection. Often given as a gift, it is sweet but easily bruised, requiring tenderness from its handler.
When this card shows up, a friendship is flourishing. Your kindness and loyalty have been noted, and your friend appreciates you.
But on the other side, this can suggest you’ve been harshly or irrationally judging those closest to you. While you might feel undeserving of kindness or friendship, this life is too difficult to face alone. Accept companionship and avoid lashing out at those who care for you.
This full moon in cancer, ask yourself: Am I loyal to my friends? How can I improve my friendships so that my companions feel loved and appreciated?

Card #36: The Finch and Peach
Romance
Love is in the air when the Finch and Peach appears! The peach, a sweetly scented, heart-shaped fruit, has long been associated with fertility, sexuality, and love. And the lively finch symbolizes exuberance, enthusiasm, and excitement.
Right now, your vibrancy and charm have led to a blossoming romance. Be open to and accepting of love’s many delights.
On the flip side, it can also suggest that your timidity or unwillingness to take risks may be hindering your chances at love. Remember that vulnerability, while frightening, is essential to healthy relationships.
This full moon in cancer, ask yourself: How do I show others I love them? Do I feel safe and supported enough to be open to new love?
