Prepare to go with the emotional flow as Cancer takes control of the new moon on July 17, causing feelings to ripple throughout the zodiac.
New moons, according to astrology, herald the arrival of opportunities for new beginnings, new relationships, and new experiences. Throughout the first three weeks of July, Cancer is the ruling zodiac sign. The crab certainly enjoys coming out of its shell to experience life in all of its raw, complex, and marvelous moments, while evoking strong emotions, sensations, and feelings. You are correct if this sounds like a lot of emotional depth. When Cancer breaks out of its shell, especially for new beginnings, the emotional waterfall overflows and tears flow. Rest assured, however, that with the new moon, the tears shed will be ones of joy and happiness as new beginnings take hold alongside Cancer’s ability to feel it all.
New moons are times to reflect and set intentions for where you want to direct your energy, efforts, and emotions in the future. Create rituals and practice self-reflection by journaling, experiencing aromatic experiences and lighting sentimental candles, creating affirmations, and consciously considering your current life journey. You can count on moments of emotional reflection with Cancer, so bring a box of tissues — or several — and be ready for the new moon’s gifts of new doors, which will be opened alongside a floodgate of Cancer’s feelings.
Cancer’s emotional capacity encourages self-connection
During the new moon in Cancer, you will be urged to not only assess your emotional needs as new beginnings emerge, but also to become introspective and listen deeply to your inner self. Perhaps you’ve been ignoring your inner voice, and it’s been trying to communicate with you. Paying attention to it as the new moon begins may provide you with opportunities to see what you most intimately want, need, and desire to pursue in your life. Because of the new moon in Cancer, the crab will be in its element while also being at ease in its home space of experiencing new trajectories from the cozy sphere of its shell. Importantly, be aware that your intuition tends to rise in tandem with your emotional expression. Take note of any feelings you have, whether they manifest in Cancer’s signature emotional embodiment or through spiritual, relational, or reflective means.
Your intuition is synonymous with your instinctive nature, and it is frequently the voice within you that prompts you to be brave in defying popular belief, desires, or pursuits. Listen to your instinctive values as the new moon in Cancer arrives. If you accept Cancer’s invitation, your relationship with yourself will be extremely viable at this time, when you will be most attuned to your innermost feelings, divinity, and introspection.
Cancer is passionate for relationships and new beginnings
Cancer simply wouldn’t be Cancer without the crab’s desire to connect with others through various relationships. If you’ve been stuck in a rut with a relationship — whether platonic, familial, professional, or romantic — expect the new moon in Cancer to take you on an emotional roller coaster in resetting the energy of these relationships with others. This includes your self-relationship. Be prepared to answer any lingering questions from someone you’ve been casually hanging out with but have a romantic connection with, or to confront some emotional family baggage that’s finally surfacing along with Cancer’s flow of emotion.
Reserve time during the new moon in Cancer to reset your feelings toward yourself and those who matter most in your life, perhaps even deciding to cut out toxic people or connections who have been holding you back from the very opportunities that will emerge during this time. Make time for self-reflection, engaging with yourself and your feelings with intention — Cancer’s defining characteristic — through journaling, meditation, or alone time in nature. With Pluto’s current influence and the symbolic qualities of rebirth, the new moon in Cancer will cause major upheaval in your relationships. But just because things change doesn’t mean they’ll change for the worse. Remember that Cancer loves love and relationships, so the crab will do everything it can to pinch you into relationship bliss all around.
Happy New Moon!!!
