Retreat into Your Shell: New Moon in Cancer
Cancers, in general, are thought to be sentimental, emotional caregivers who have a rep for being moody and snuggling up into their shells, refusing to come out until they’ve thoroughly processed their emotions. Are you feeling it too?
The new moon that occurs in Cancer today gives us a chance to understand our emotions on a deeper level. Today, take some time to check in with your emotional journey. It isn’t about sitting in a pool of feelings. It’s far more action-oriented.
You might be compelled to look at reasons why you’ve hidden your genuine self or put your individual needs on the backburner. Are you feeling it too?
Shine a light on the more sensitive subjects in your mind. You’ll want to stand even more in your truth and embrace whatever it is that makes you unique.
We can’t pour from an empty cup. The most important ritual to adhere to on this New Moon is taking a generous pause. Are you caring for yourself the way you care for your friends? If you find yourself craving the moments of calm, honour those feelings. It’s essential to carve out time and space away from a partner, to really connect with ourselves, body, mind, and soul – our own learnings, outlook, and personal philosophy.
Ask yourself: Where am I closed off and disconnected from my emotional self and inner truth? Where have I shut myself off from new opportunities because of heartbreak, failures, and disappointments?
So, the message of this moment is to identify how you’re feeling and then allow it to fuel big changes and breakthroughs that this new moon intends to bring. Switch off from distractions, allowing space to listen quietly to your own needs and intuition, voice, and inner knowing to gain more clarity. And trust that this new moon brings you the magic, even if you can’t see it yet.
