New Moon in Cancer | Friday 7/5/24 at 3:58 PM PT

This new moon in Cancer, set your intentions to become clearer; cleanse your energy as you would your living space.  Set boundaries to speak your mind and share your feelings. Reevaluate what gives you a sense of self.

Being a Cardinal Water Sign, and the cardinal sign of Summer, the new moon in Cancer helps to attune us with our feelings, and to nurture our intuition, as well as ourselves. It promotes the exploration of our emotional state(s) of being, including how we interact with loved ones, and creates a space for spiritual ‘maintenance’.

Remember to nurture yourself as you would others in your life. Break free from anything, or anyone, that no longer serves you or reflects your values. Feel, release, let go.

A new lunar cycle begins when the Sun and Moon align in sensitive Cancer at 3:57 p.m. PDT this Friday, July5. With the luminaries tightly opposing Ceres in Capricorn, we may experience a challenge to our self-worth at this time, to the extent that we have based our value on outer accomplishments. 
 
This New Moon calls us to strengthen our capacity for self-love while also allowing ourselves to be supported by others.Thankfully, the Sun and Moon are also in harmonious trine aspect to Saturn in Pisces at the time of the lunation. This aspect increases emotional stability,helping us be more objective about our feelings, while also encouraging us to find practical ways to increase our sense of inner security.

Cancer Season ushers in a time to slow down, be patient, and feel. The last three months were a whirlwind of energy. They brought us new beginnings and changes in perspectives, and they taught us things about ourselves we had forgotten. Cancer Season is all about slowing down long enough to feel the emotions we have conveniently avoided until now. It’s a time to be patient with ourselves, to receive soul nourishment, and to feel safe in the face of our own emotions.

The feeling encouraged by Cancer’s energy is raw, untamed,and primal. It’s the kind of feeling that makes you scream with joy and rage.Or cry for hours with no reason why. This type of feeling does not ask why or look for points of origin. It just occurs. It comes from deep within, and we might not even know what it’s about. That’s ok though. Cancer just wants us to feel.

This New Moon on July 5th is conjunct the brightest star in the heavens, Sirius. In the constellation Can is Major, it is almost twice as bright as Canopus the second brightest star.

Other facts about Sirius: it is 25.4 times more luminous than the Sun and its radius is 1.71 times that of the Sun. Why mention this? To point out the exceptional opportunity this ‘increased light’, due to it’s association with the Sun/Moon conjunction, will afford all of us for greater clarity and revealing our own (individual and collective) Truth. We cannot not be honest with our selves!
