New Moon in Cancer

We have a New Moon in the sign of Cancer on Tuesday July 14th.

A New Moon is an invitation for manifestation, especially in the powerful water sign of Cancer. Any of the water signs gives us some extra powers of manifestation as water helps with the movement and fluidity of aspirations and dreams.

The energy of cancer is very sensitive, and tends to be a little intense. However, within this intense sensitivity, is the ability to not only connect intimately, but to activate those intuitive depths as well within us as well. Cancer can be a challenging energy to work with for signs with difficulties in fluidity (the earth signs). Because moving from where you have deemed “your” place can be a hard thing to digest for these grounded signs.This cycle of the moon asks for movement forward after the process of making room by letting go during the full moon. 

Cancer’s energy asks us to not shy away from our emotionality. There is a deep connection between emotion and intuition, and this moon cycle is an invitation to allow those intuitions to flow to the surface. Cancer is an incredibly intuitive sign, and we can all use this energy to tap a little bit deeper into our own intuition and allow those insights to help guide us further towards our aspirations and goals; our manifestations.

There is also an illumination on the fourth House of astrology, the house of home. Examining your sanctuary, your personal space, and how you can make enhancements in this area to help propel you further towards what you’re working on. Shifting your energy towards intention, and the rituals of self-care are very aligned with the energy of cancer. Asking yourself questions like, how can I better nourish myself while on this path, will help to unblock any emotional energy here. 

This new moon asked us to be a little more tender in our practice because: energy flows where intention goes.

Shadow work: 

• How do I nourish my spirit?

• How do I set my intentions? 

• Describe my safe space (my sanctuary) 

• Write about the emotional aspect of a big goal that’s being worked on right now. (Feelings while doing it, what it will feel like when it’s accomplished) 

• How can I welcome more flow? 

Happy New Moon!
