Cancer New Moon
I’ve been tending to my heart space since the Gemini New Moon. Gemini season always brings on a flurry of activity as it is my rising sign; the end of school for my kids, concerts, clubs, playdates, camps, astrology readings, yoga classes, and lots of social fun activities. Once I get to Cancer season, I fall onto the bed in a crumpled mess never wanting to leave the covers. The energy shifts from the thinking mind to the feeling body, let your Self cry. Hard time crying like me? Find an emotional release valve, for me it is certain songs, memories, or movies.
Cancer season asks us all to take some time out for rest. It is a Yin type of energy, slow, deliberate, initiatory, nurturing, and intuitive. I get called to water to cleanse and wash away that which doesn’t serve me. I get called to my yoga practice, eyes closed, folded into my the physical presence of my breathing. I get called to lay my body down, warm and cozy in my soft pale light bedroom. I get called to cook a nourishing and tasty meal for my soul and my family.
What do you feel called towards this Cancer New Moon? Happening Tuesday 6/28 at 10:52am EST at 7 degrees. This New Moon is conjunct Black Moon Lilith in Cancer. It is a new beginning in the female energetic space - in the collective and as an individual. Cancer is the archetype of the mother and Black Moon Lilith is the taboo and dangerous woman. She is the outcast woman that people fear, she is the healer, the witch, the wise crone. Men fear her power over them, they long for the comfort of a mother figure they may have never had. I was born with Black Moon Lilith in Cancer, so this moon is especially potent for me. How can I use my power to raise the voice of women and let their wild bloom? To support and accelerate their becoming? To provide a sacred safe space for them to reveal their deepest dreams?
I am a natural born nurturer with 3 planets and my north node in the 4th house, in Virgo. Family, home, and the nest mean everything to me. However, if done wrong when it comes to any of those things or my mothering, my Black Moon Lilith in Cancer will lash out and protect at all costs. It is in my 2nd house of self worth and she knows her worth. This New Moon tomorrow arms women with an innate sense of self worth, belonging, and intuition that this war against them will never end. The tension and anger that has been lit within due to a handful of men and one woman deciding on what women can and can not do to their bodies when Rose vs Wade was overturned. This is just the beginning in a long held down anger that will rise and challenge these religious Christian ideals that are being pushed unto them. We want freedom and liberation from persecution, just like the immigrants that came here long long ago to establish this country.
This Cancer New Moon is washing up all the murkiness of emotion that has been sitting stagnant. Waves of emotion may envelope you, let them roll over your heart, over your thoughts, and over your body. Find time to be alone and flow into contemplation via your favorite music, a long drive, meditation, or just being in nature, especially nice in or around water. Find the life sector this new beginning is happening in. Which of the 12 houses is planting a seed for the next 4 weeks? This one falls into my 2nd house. It is time for me to budget and make an appointment with a financial advisor. Drawing back on spending, putting energy into saving. I also decided to take some time for therapy, to navigate relationship changes coming up through the end of the year. We have 6 months left of 2022, focus on your journey and intentions. I am taking some much needed time to nourish my body, mind, and soul, because when we value our Self, that is the truest and most important heart work we can do.
In-Joy & Love,
Sirena
