December's Cancer full Moon occurs on December 28 and it's one that is linking up directly with the Uranus/Pluto square that we've been experiencing over this last year. It is asking many direct questions and it's a very potent time for change and renewal. 

The Sabian Symbol is a curious one, it's Cancer 8: A Group Of Rabbits Dressed In Clothes. The following is from my book The Sabian Oracle: 360 Degrees Of Wisdom:

December's new Moon falls on December 13, and it has a fabulously rich message. The Sabian Symbol is Sagittarius 22: A CHINESE LAUNDRY. The questions this Symbol often ask include - Do you like what you're doing? Do you get well rewarded and respected for it? Are you shutting yourself away and not allowing yourself a better life? Do you do menial work and wonder why you continue to do it? Are you washing other people's underwear? Do you feel you're doing the work of Sisyphus? (Sisyphus was condemned by the gods to roll a heavy rock up a mountain, and, just before reaching the top, the weight of the rock would have it rolling down the hill again). 

Few tasks are more like the torture of Sisyphus than housework, with its endless repetition: the clean becomes soiled, the soiled is made clean, over and over, day after day. Simone de Beauvoir
