Greetings, Divine Souls!

Welcome to our cosmic exploration of the New Moon in Cancer, gracing us on July 5, 2024, at 6:57 p.m. This celestial event invites us to set intentions and goals, basking in the nurturing, emotional, and creative energies of Cancer—a cardinal water sign ruled by the moon. Whether or not Cancer is prominent in your chart, this lunar phase’s divine mother energy calls us to seek safety, passion, and introspection.

Lunar Insights and Planetary Alignments

As the moon enters Cancer, we are enveloped in a period ripe for personal growth, healing, and transformation. Venus, currently in Cancer, enhances our values, beauty, and personal relationships. It forms a harmonious trine with Saturn Retrograde in Pisces, guiding us to set boundaries and navigate shifts with wisdom. However, this phase also squares Chiron in Aries, the wounded healer, bringing our root chakra and childhood trust issues into focus.

Key Alignments:

• Venus in Cancer: Manifestation, relationships, self-love
• Trine Saturn Retrograde in Pisces: Boundaries, restrictions, shifts
• Square Chiron in Aries: Healing childhood wounds, trust, root chakra

Harnessing the Energy:

• Reflect on your values and relationships. How can you nurture these aspects?
• Embrace shifts and set necessary boundaries. What changes do you need to make?
• Address childhood wounds. What trust issues surface, and how can you heal them?

As my family and I embark on a new journey, moving to my husband’s hometown where his life began, I am reminded of the Cancerian call to intuition and stepping out of my comfort zone. This move challenges my hermit nature, but like a crab, I am learning to adapt and find comfort in new environments.
