With its nurturing and protective energy, the Cancer Moon encourages us to focus on our family and home life. It is a time to reflect on our deepest emotional needs and to pay attention to the things that bring us comfort and security. This lunar phase can reveal the areas where we feel a sense of lack and help us subconsciously identify the things we long for. By tuning into the energy of the Cancer moon, we can better understand our emotional landscape and cultivate a more fulfilling and supportive home life.

Under the influence of the current moon phase, which is ruled by the aquatic sign of Cancer, we are likely to experience a surge in our intuitive powers. Our heightened sensitivity to the energies surrounding us during our dream states can provide valuable insights and a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. This is an opportune time to pay attention to our inner voice and trust our instincts as we navigate Life.

The zodiac sign of Cancer is associated with our emotions, family, and nurturing. It is also linked with overindulgence, especially in terms of eating. People born under this sign may struggle to be overly needy. They may also suppress their craving for love, attention, and appreciation. Even if you are not a Cancer, you may still experience these feelings during the new Moon in Cancer if they are blocked within you.

The Cancer sign also relates to emotional securities and insecurities. Those born under this sign may find it challenging to balance self-love and worth with feelings of inadequacy. They can be pretty defensive but must learn to be more receptive and vulnerable around people they trust.

 During this New Moon in Cancer, you can do one or more of the following:

• A New Moon is a beautiful time to do inner work and change ourselves from the inside and out. You may want to ask yourself during this New Moon in Cancer:   Do I explosively express my emotions to those who are dear to me? Am I too defensive and or self-protective ~ why? Am I seeking love by excessive means to fill the void of emptiness within me? Do I over-nurture others in my Life? 

• Is there anything in your Life that connects with the sign of Cancer that is your significant focus currently? It could be your parent, home, children, nurturing, etc. Does anything feel like it’s missing in your Life? Would adding it enhance you and your life?       

• Now is the time to heal the experiences that you may be dealing with. Not just what is in the sign on Cancer, but anything else that needs to be let go of or healed, use this energy of the New Moon in Cancer to do it.   

• Start your journey of healing. Even the littlest issue that you can clear can be a relief. Make sure to, first and foremost, remember to take care and honor yourself first. If it is being by yourself, add something pampering and relaxing. But don’t rush this journey; give yourself plenty of time to do it.

• Try a form of divination: tarot, rune stones, meditation, or any of the many oracles out there.
