Dear Goddesses,
Get ready to dive deep as the New Moon arrives in the sensitive sign of Cancer on 25th June at 11:31am. As a cardinal water sign ruled by the Moon itself, Cancer brings our attention to our emotional foundations, our sense of belonging, and the comfort we find in our personal sanctuaries. New Moons are prime opportunities to manifest new beginnings, and this lunation encourages us to set intentions that nurture our deepest emotional needs.
Cancer's loving and protective energy shines when we embrace vulnerability and offer compassion to ourselves and others. Yet, when out of balance, this energy can manifest as being overly defensive, prone to worry, or retreating into isolation. This New Moon in Cancer is an invitation to gently explore your emotional landscape without judgment and to cultivate a sense of emotional security from within, rather than seeking it solely from external sources.
Take this time to set intentions around self-nurturing, healing old emotional wounds, and strengthening your intuition. A wonderful self-care ritual for this New Moon is a comforting meal preparation. Cancer rules the stomach and nourishment, so consciously preparing a wholesome, hearty meal for yourself or loved ones can be incredibly grounding. As you chop vegetables or stir a pot, infuse your intentions into the food – intentions for emotional warmth, security, and inner peace. Enjoy the process and the sustenance it provides.
- What emotions are currently asking for my attention? How do they feel in my body?
- How can I better listen to and trust my intuition regarding my emotional needs?
- What does "emotional safety" truly mean to me? Where do I currently feel emotionally safe, and where do I wish to cultivate more of it?
- In what ways can I offer myself the same compassion and care that I would offer a loved one?
