The New Moon in Cancer

The New Moon in Cancer highlights the areas of home, family, history & private life. Cancer is also the Cardinal Water sign. To an Astrologer that means "dynamic emotions." The Cardinal Zodiac signs - Aries, Cancer, Libra & Capricorn - are the initiators ... the get-up-and-do-ers. They see changes that need to happen, things they want to adjust, build or create ... & from there, they "just do it."

These signs & their energy are the forces that create genuine progress in the four central areas of concern for everyone - Self, Home, Connections & Contributions.

Aries is the Great Initiator - as the Self-aware Pioneer. Cancer gives Protection, Support, Roots & Foundations - as Everyone's Mother. Libra reaches out & creates Bonds, Unions & Partnerships - as the Diplomat & Companion. Capricorn arrange Permanence, Organization & Structures - as the Consummate Professional & Empire Builder. Consider these the four pillars of progress & evolution ... & go from there.

The New Moon in Cancer

With the arrival of the New Moon in Cancer, your concerns turn to family issues, domestic concerns and your own emotional well-being. You may spend more time cooking and gardening, making your living arrangements more suitable -- more beautiful and comfortable. Matters of maintenance and repairs come up -- and want attention. You may put effort into making your home safer -- because you'll be more security conscious.

Your relationship with your family members will also take priority. You'll need to redefine and establish your place in the family circle and with the people who share your home, your ties of kinship and affection. Being aware of their needs and intentions now is important -- so you can help one another with your goals ... and feel like you're all working together -- pulling in the same direction.

* Meditation for the New Moon in Cancer ---> Affirmations for the energy of the New Moon in Cancer ---> Imagine you are walking barefoot along the seashore early on a summer evening, just at moonrise ... with a glorious full moon as big as a dinner plate still nestled low in the sky. As the last of the sunlight fades, the stars start to appear ... and all around a hush falls over the land as nighttime supplants the daylight ... and the mystery and magic of the Moon takes over the helm. The colors around you are all soft white, silver, and gray.

Moon Lore ---> In ancient times, Moon phases, Moon cycles, were the readily visible, incontrovertible calendar people depended on to mark the passage of time. The appearance of the Full or New Moon in the company of certain well-known and predictable constellations signaled the arrival of specific important moments in the year.

* Moon Magic ---> Secrets and mysteries ---> The Moon has a mystique all its own. It is often associated with secrecy and mystery ... and is associated with strange, uncanny powers. It evokes a peculiar range of responses in cultures everywhere, from curiosity and wonder, to romance and affection, to awe and dread.

* The New Moon in Cancer -- Cancer Energy in the Creative Process ---> Going home again ---> Well, by now we could all use a little mothering. Thank Heaven there are Cancer people in the world wanting to take on the job and Cancer energy comes around on a regular basis. Having ventured out in the world despite the hazards, and picked up some new ideas, gathered in some valuable information about our growth and new directions, and done a little research and other homework, we need to pull back and process the things we know now that we didn't know earlier. Fortunately, Cancer energy carries heavy motivation and opportunities to do exactly that.

* 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. In astronomy and physical reality, the New Moon forms when the Moon aligns between the Sun and the Earth so the side facing us reflects no light.
