New Moon in Cancer- Past Life Healing, Are You the Nurturing Balm You Seek?, Feminine Grace + Softness

New Moon in Cancer- Past Life Healing, Are You the Nurturing Balm You Seek?, Feminine Grace + Softness

On July 14th, we have the uber emotional and tender New Moon at 21 degrees of Cancer. The Moon is in her home sign which makes this New Moon even more potent and tender. New Moons are always about new starts, beginnings and wiping the slate clean. Their presence is sometimes hard to see at least at first. As the days pass after a new moon, we begin to awaken the plans and progress of this new moon cycle. Cancer, the 4th zodiac sign is all about home, security, motherhood, emotions and nourishment. 

The New Moon in Cancer is here to awaken your sensitivity and to heal past family traumas. Since Cancer is tied to the mother, deep and soul awakening healing connected to the matriarch comes forth. Many will begin new journeys connected to the home and family over the course of the next 2 weeks. Others will begin a new healing journey connected to their intuition and rectifying any part of their femininity that has felt abandoned or neglected. It is time to allow yourself the space and grace to feel your emotions without shame or judgement. Cancer is the sign of unconditional love because that is the gift of being a mother. This New Moon wants you to reclaim that tender and unconditionally loving aspect of your being that might have been repressed or suppressed. Ancestral healing is also indicated. Pay attention to your dream state over the course of the next couple of weeks as important messages from your loved ones could come up. Nourishment and tenderness aren't weak. In fact, they are super powers if they come from a place of openness and safety. This New Moon wants to heal you in a way that you didn't think was possible. Trust. Surrender. Feel. Cherish. Allow. Receive. Cry. Heal. Your connection to your soul + divine's love are the magical gateway to your ultimate healing at this time. 

The New Moon in Cancer will be making a conjunction ( 0 degree aspect) to retrograde Mercury, the plant of the mind, communication and information, who is also in Cancer. Past memories and family issues will for sure be at play with this aspect. Any past based occurrence ( either in this lifetime or past lives) where you didn't feel nourished, safe and unconditionally loved will come back up to the surface to be faced. The good news is this is a time to release these situations and to create new pathways for self forgiveness and unconditional love. Some of you could literally be rewriting old family traumas through your own ability to finally let go and be the lineage breaker of suffering. This might feel heavy at first. Allow yourself plenty of time and care to process these deeper feelings. Messages from old loved ones, lovers, friends or really anyone from the past will resurface as well. If these folks show up, remember the lesson + healing that is possible now. You hold the key to your liberation from fear and old programming. These souls are just a reflection of what work there is to still do. 

For those with their Sun, Moon or Ascendant signs on or close to 21 degrees of Cancer or the other cardinal signs of Aries, Libra or Capricorn, this New Moon will be particularly powerful. Expect to rewrite your past and to begin a new journey that moves you closer to your heart and sense of safety. This could show up around your physical body, family/home, relationships or your career. There is a letting go that needs to happen before you begin anew. Trust yourself and this process. For everyone else, check where 21 degrees of Cancer falls in your natal chart to see where these tender and healing new beginnings will be happening for you. 

The New Moon in Cancer is here to offer you a new awakening around your ability to nourish + forgive yourself + others. This is the highest state of love. This New Moon wants to whisper that true love and safety involves loving yourself and others for who you ARE and who you ARE NOT. All of it. This New Moon will conjure up deep feelings that have been stored in your subconscious. There is a chance to come back home to yourself and to honor your softness and gentleness with reverence and peace. The New Moon in the sign of the crab wants you to remother yourself with the power of unconditional love and care. She is here to usher in new awakenings connected to your heart + family, heal past lifetimes of pain + sorrow and to allow you the ultimate gift of surrender and compassion.
