EP 172: New Moon in Cancer
It might be the July 4th holiday week, but that isn't the only reason we're all moving a little more slowly. Saturn and Neptune both station to retrograde, making the air feel heavy (thanks to Saturn) and murky (thanks to Neptune).
Mercury connects with Neptune, encouraging you to listen to the messages you may be hearing from outside or from within.
This Friday, July 5, at 06:57 PM ET, the New Moon in Cancer occurs at 14 degrees. This lunation is particularly potent for Aries, Libra, Capricorn, and Cancer signs. If you have any placements at 14 degrees in these cardinal signs, you'll feel its influence more intensely. This New Moon, accompanied by Venus, invites you to slow down and reflect on the emotions that are coming up for you, particularly around family, home, and nurturance.
Cancer season reminds us that only when we feel safe and secure will we be able to open up and be vulnerable in our relationships. Perhaps this New Moon will inspire you to gather the courage to put the proper boundaries in place and have the honest conversations needed to create your safe space for emotional connection and healing.
