We’ve had four weeks of the sun in social and energetic Gemini and an incredibly powerful Summer Solstice here in the Northern Hemisphere.

It’s now time to connect more deeply with our emotions as Cancer Season arrives and with it a New Moon on June 28-29 – the first following the Solstice.

Cancer Season reminds us of the power of connecting to our inner compass.

To embrace our sensitivity and use it to deepen our intuition and compassion.

The Moon is totally at ease in its own home sign of Cancer, and we will feel that harmonious energy in our own lives too.

As you probably know by now, every New Moon is about the beginning of a new phase, a new cycle full of fresh energy ready for us to use to our advantage!

Whenever the moon cycle begins again we experience darkness for the night of the New Moon.

That darkness calls us to feel the connection between ourselves and the enormous, infinite energy field of our Universe.

That’s why it’s such a powerful time to focus on manifesting.

Those hours of darkness allow us to feel into the future.

To gain knowledge of what we are here to achieve, and to see the vision of our lives with greater clarity.

It’s as though in that darkness, our subconscious is given greater power, and we are forced to connect to our deepest desires, fears, and intuition.

While New Moons always represent the start of a new cycle, depending on the sign of the zodiac they fall in, there will always be a slightly different energy behind each lunation.

When the New Moon falls in a cardinal sign, such as emotional and watery Cancer, the power behind making dreams into realities is even stronger.

You can use the energy of a New Moon right before, during, and even after its peak, as the power of the energy is present in those surrounding days.

Themes of the New moon in Cancer

Emotions and Intuition:

This New Moon in Cancer will accentuate themes around our deep emotions, greater clarity, truth, and sensitivity.

It will open our eyes to profound insights, higher truths, and beautiful cosmic downloads and intuitive messages that may come to us in our sleep or meditations.

The energy of this New Moon is about receiving rather than actively doing.

Allow the energy of it to soften you and attune you to receive any visions, intuitive messages, or information coming to you from the spiritual realm.

Think about feeling your way through this time, rather than using your brain to figure everything out.

Allow things to flow, like the waves and tides of the ocean, and honor the watery energy of Cancer to show you the path.

Be open to learning something new about yourself, your life, and the life path you are on right now.

One thing about this Cancer New Moon is that it will likely make you feel more sensitive than usual, so be sure to honor any vulnerable feelings or emotions you may be having and see them as part of the powerful journey of being human on this planet.

Home and Family:

This moon will also accentuate the energy of Home and family.

You can see this as literally the energy of your house and home, or indeed your own ‘home’ frequency- your vibration, your true frequency.

You may enjoy spending lots of time in your home during this time, giving your space a good clear-out, or hosting a dinner party for your loved ones.

The energy is very supportive of quiet, calm, and connected activities where you get to enjoy the beauty of your surroundings and ground yourself to your home base.

You can also spend time doing things that connect you to your true essence- your vibrational frequency that feels most like your natural self.

Take the time to honor your emotions and any feelings that you may have been ignoring.

We are often always pushing ourselves forward in society, trying to hustle our way to success.

Cancer energy encourages us to look bravely at where feeling and being vulnerable can be beneficial to us, and in fact, ultimately serve to strengthen us rather than weaken us.

Think of the crab with its hard shell – a necessary armor for its inner softness.

You can use this New Moon to refresh your approach to life, write some new intentions and focus on manifesting what you really want to see in your reality.

Take time to make a gratitude list of all that you love and appreciate right now.

When you think about setting your intentions and goals, consider how connecting with your emotional side can help you to accomplish these.

Our emotions are always our guiding force.

We can use them to determine where we are on the vibrational scale, and therefore how close or far we are from attracting what we want into our lives.

Remember -whatever is going on in your external world is a reflection of your inner world.

Your emotions can often show you where you stand in terms of alignment to a certain desire you have.

When you feel happy, excited, joyful, and grateful about something – you are vibrating on a high energetic frequency.

When you feel worried, anxious, negative, or fearful – you are vibrating on a lower, denser frequency.

Use the New Moon in Cancer to guide you to feel your emotions, and let any heavier ones dissolve and dissipate by allowing them to arise and fall away.

That will help you to move forward much quicker into the vision of the future you have for yourself.
