The full moon on December 22, 2018 is known as Cold Moon, Open Moon or Big Winter Moon. As it occurs in the sun sign Capricorn, it becomes a full water moon in the opposite sun sign Cancer. As this full moon occurs around noon on the 22nd, you might choose to perform your ritual or set your tools out to cleanse and recharge on the night of December 21st.
December 21st is also the Wiccan festival of Yule, or the winter solstice, so you will have a doubly powerful ceremony on that date if you combine the rituals from the full moon and Yule.
Full Moon in Cancer Spells
In Wiccan traditions, full moon in Cancer spells should correspond to family and home life. We may feel more sensitive and vulnerable and pick up the negative thoughts of others, so it’s also an ideal time to do cleansing rituals. Love spells are also called for however, you must first decide where to manifest the feelings of love before beginning the ritual.
