A Cancer New Moon encourages us to swim in our emotional depths, even if it is uncomfortable. Cancer holds our hands as we walk our inner garden and take note of where we have neglected our needy flowers and let the weeds overgrow. Cancer helps us reacquaint ourselves with what feels safe and secure, so we're able to let out guards now and the tears flow. 

Cancer cracks us wide open and this Cancer New Moon is no different. Squared by Jupiter, this lunation can bring confidence our way, but we can be overconfident, falling into habits and routines that don't serve our highest good. We may get some insight now into changes we need to make to get our needs met.

We do need to remember to be gentle with ourselves and others when speaking up for our needs.Because this New Moon is in Cancer, we may find ourselves sensitive, emotional, and needy. We may also see others clinging to the past and stubbornly refusing to change. Cancer values family, tradition, and along with it, patriotism. And with the global pandemic we're experiencing, folks are primed to fall into the more shadow side of Cancer of acting of our fear of not being safe. Right now so many of us have fried nervous systems, and this sets the stage for being reactive and lashing out. People have lost jobs, been worried about money and food, and have been feeling stuck at home. We feel unsafe in our schools and we're worried about our rights as human beings.
