New Moon in Cancer

The New Moon in Cancer turns attention to very personal concerns: home & family, your private life, your living arrangements, your place in the family circle, your foundations, memories, habits & "the past."

It extends invitations to reconnect with your loved ones, including kinfolk but most especially the souls -- people & pets -- you've adopted along the way, lives you consider "just like family." But Cancer doesn't just embrace the living. It is sensitive to all kinds of energy, including attachment to places, things contained in memories, elements you carry with you as part of your history, & active connections to the past.

Practical help

This year's arrival of the Second New Moon in Cancer asks for a pause, a turning inward, to assess our feelings, our needs, our moods & reactions, our intuition. Reality for a while has seemed decidedly unreal ... surreal ... whatever word you want to apply. "Unbelievable" has become way too pale to describe daily life today.

Prolonged stress -- which all of us are handling -- puts serious strain on your physical, emotional & mental health. Your spiritual health, too, though we're less likely to measure that -- or even think of it in the face of the obvious "survival issues" & everything else. So the compassionate, involuted energy of another New Moon in Cancer couldn't be more timely or helpful, if you use it.

Basic Stuff about the New Moon ---> What you see is what you get ---> * The Moon is the Earth's only natural satellite. It orbits the Earth in such a way that the same side of the Moon always faces us -- which has given rise to the notion of there being a "dark side of the moon" when, in reality, there is a far side of the moon which is lit with reflected sunlight when we have a New Moon ... and is deprived of sunlight when we experience a Full Moon.

Quick Notes on the New Moon -- It gives you the basics and saves lots of time ---> The Solar / Lunar alignment ---> * In astrology, the celestial phenomenon known as the New Moon occurs at the exact moment the Sun and the Moon occupy precisely the same point in the sky-map of the Zodiac -- the same degree and minute of arc in a particular sign. This alignment is known as a conjunction.

* The New Moon -- A Milestone Celestial Event ---> When The Moon joins The Sun in the sky ---> In astrology, the celestial phenomenon known as the New Moon occurs at the exact moment the Sun and the Moon occupy precisely the same point in the sky-map of the Zodiac -- the same degree and minute of arc in a particular sign. This alignment is known as a conjunction.

* Full Moon / New Moon? Or New Moon / Full Moon? -- Variations on the rhythms of life ---> Different rhythms ---> It's a subtle difference, I admit, but it's there nevertheless. Life's psychological rhythm has a different sequence, depending on whether the New Moon in a particular sign forms first, followed about two weeks later by the Full Moon in the opposite sign ... or whether the Full Moon forms first, followed then by the New Moon lining up with the Sun in its sign.

Cancer

* Born with the Sun in Cancer -- The Cancer Character ---> Cancer's symbol is the crab ---> Citizens of an inner world ---> Cancers are spirits of emotions and moods. Their feelings -- and inconsistencies -- the shifting climates of their inner world form the landscape where they live. Cancers have a mood for every occasion. Feelings count with them more than thoughts, or logic, or even the evidence of reality. Cancers pay attention to their intuition, gut reactions, hunches, and their "take" on people, ideas, places, situations, and problems.
