Cancer New Moon
The Cancer New Moon comes with a motherly embrace of nurturing and deep inner healing. This can be an emotional time, as Mother Moon highlights the most tender parts in us. The Cancer New Moon teaches us to embrace all of our emotions and use them as a guide for our next steps and and anchor for new intentions, as we forgive ourselves for whatever may have been holding us back.
Feel it to heal it
Ruled by water and representing the feminine archetype, Cancer is the sign of our origins. Our lineage. Our foundation. Our home. The inner cores of who we are. Cancer is our roots and connects us back to our roots. With Cancer being a sign of self and home, this is a time of personal focus that includes family, home and close community or tribe. This is a time of inner reflection, and anything you anchor for yourself during this time, holds the potential to have a ripple effect on the bigger picture of your life.
As a water sign Cancer knows the world of emotions and holds nothing back. She feels it as she heals it, and she knows that to shed tears is to shed the past. She knows that nothing is ever wasted, and life is a cycle. She is here to tell you that the tears you shed over your past or current pain, are precious pearls that water the budding seeds in your heart at the same time.
The New Moon in Cancer is the perfect opportunity to shed any mental attachments, regrets and disappointments from the past in order to free up space in your mind to dream something different for your future path.
The Great Mother
The New Moon in Cancer is an excellent opportunity to work around refining your self care routines, home environment and personal goals. Think of Cancer as The Great Mother and spend some time around the New Moon to nurture yourself, focus on your personal thriving and dive into what YOU desire. Try to really notice and embrace your emotions around what is important to you as you move forward.
Think of yourself as being a mother to all the places in you, that have been neglected: Lost dreams, tiny hopes and all the ideas and places in you, that you have abandoned due to circumstances, trauma or simply the business of life. The New Moon in Cancer is the perfect time to tend to those places in you, like mother would tend to her child. By gentle acts of encouragement, nurturing and deep love.
“What if you were to create a new version of you and care for that version–like a gardener would tend to a new seed? What would that look–and feel–like for you? ”
Re-imagine yourself
Think of the time as the beginning of a new cycle and use it to kick-start the next chapter in your life. As you feel, heal, release and (maybe) forgive, you free up space to build a new foundation that will support you in your evolution and growth.
Take the change to embrace the Cancer New Moon as an opportunity for great healing around any issues regarding your home and origins. As you re-connect with the feminine aspects of nurturing and (self-)love, this is a time to go on an inner adventure to explore what life could look like for you, if you allowed yourself to dream again. And the beautiful summer nights carry the perfect container to do so.
Take the invitation of the beautiful Cancer New Moon to dive deep in your inner healing and nurture yourself. Then plant your desire right in in the center of your heart and know that it is the safest place to plant anything.
Nurture yourself, love yourself, trust yourself as you connect to your desires and dream up the Life you desire to live.
The Cancer moon is here to lead ourselves home.

Journal Prompt
Your Emotional Self
Describe yourself, your essence, or what you do–without using conventional/3D terms. (I am a lawyer, I am this, I am that)
Now expand your idea of who you are. Give validity to all the gifts you have, that don’t have a label in the conventional world. Give names to the ENERGY of who you are and what you do, as you describe you I am presence:
“I am a creative genious. I am unconditional Love. I am a creating my best life yet.”
You might be surprised how your soul expresses itself, but take the words to your heart and stay with them for a while. Write them, down, put them in a place, where you see them often for affirmation. Gradually, you will begin to see your VALUE in the places the world didn’t teach you, your WORTH in places only you define, your BEAUTY as your soul expresses it. The truth is, you soul doesn’t fit into boxes. It wants to be expressed, it can be anything it wants, and so can you.
