The New Moon in Cancer is an important lunation, as the Moon is in her home sign. The new Moon is happening at 18° Cancer and brings new beginnings in the areas of home, family, the mother, roots, origins, tribe, birth, fertility, emotions, intimacy, security, privacy, self-care and nurture. It also brings soothing energies to difficult aspects.
Cancer teaches us how to feel at home, how to accommodate, how to find our sanctuary, how to nurture and how to nourish ourselves and others. With the new Moon in Cancer, this cycle is a good time for emotional work, for spending time with family and close friends, finding one’s tribe, spending time near water, finding or moving to a new home, renovating and making changes in the home, as well as for (re-)discovering the more private aspects of life. It is also the perfect time for giving birth to new projects, which will be revealed the outside world during the more extroverted Leo season.
Cancer symbolises the womb and is the sign of the Mother. Cancer season is a time to honour Mother Earth, to show gratitude for everything She does for her children, to dive deep into her womb in order to revitalise ourselves. The Moon in Cancer asks us to strengthen our roots, to separate the healthy ones from the dead ones. This means letting go of the past, of emotional pain, of family issues and of anything else that is holding us back from becoming our true selves and living our purpose. With a strong and grounded foundation to support us (Cancer), we can grow tall to reach the sky (Capricorn).
The Sun and Moon in Cancer are opposite Pluto in Capricorn. This opposition is the opportunity to nurture and give birth to a gentler and more equal world by taking care of one another, by being kind leaders, by being open to the emotional needs of others and by creating a new sense of security for the well-being of all. With Pluto in Capricorn, whoever does not serve the greatest good, whatever does not contribute to the building of a better world, shall be brought down.
The new Moon is marked by a T-Square, with Mars & Venus in Leo opposite Saturn in Aquarius, all square to Uranus in Taurus. With the lovers in Leo, there is a desire to become our own rulers, to shine our light brighter than ever, to display our talents to the world, to play, to experience love and to enjoy life. With the opposition to Saturn, the individual clashes with the collective, as not everyone is ready to accept our authenticity. Our talents and gifts may not be well perceived at this time or might go unnoticed. Uranus, at the apex of the pyramid and sextile to the Sun and Moon, acts as the release point. Uranus in Taurus teaches us that there is a place for every being in this world, that everyone can be their own king and queen, as long as our authenticity contributes to the benefit of the greater good.
May this new Moon guide you home, wherever it may be, whatever it may look like.
☽ Happy New Moon ☾
