New Moons are always auspicious times for new beginnings. However, this one holds some special promise.
In the sign of Cancer, the Moon is in its sign of rulership. Cancer is known as the “Great Zodiac Mother” – the emotional energy that nurtures, cares for, and protects us all – and the Moon is her primary vehicle for maintaining her emotional connection to each and every one of us in a very personal way.
That said, when the Moon is New in Cancer (exact at 12:14a PDT on Monday, July 8th, 2013), it is a time for initiating new emotional beginnings – planting the seeds for things that you really do care to have become manifest in your life.
During the Full Moon in Capricorn, you were able to realign your focus and get clear about what is really important to you based upon where you invested your caring, nurturing, and protective energies. The Light of the Sun in Cancer helped you to get clear about the goals you are striving for and the dreams you want to fulfill by noticing what you were emotionally invested in and discovering where and how your emotions were invested.
Now, with the New Moon in Cancer conjunct the Cancer Sun , it is time to plant the seeds you intend to nurture to harvest. It’s not just about planting for planting’s sake. This time, it’s intentional – very intentional.
These aren’t just any seeds. These are no ordinary new beginnings. These are new beginnings that matter to you on an emotional level. These are seeds born from your heart’s deepest intentions and your most heartfelt desires.
These are the ones, or at least need to be the ones, that you will nurture and care for and protect with everything you have in your heart until they are strong enough to stand for themselves. Now is the time to take begin taking action to care for and protect what you want to see become the loving reality of your life experience.
To manifest this life of love you intend to have, you now get to love the life you have and want to develop into an experience of your life that you love even more. This is a crucial element of this Cancer New Moon creation process – that you not only recognize what you want your life to become, but that you also acknowledge and appreciate where you are now on your life’s journey. How you feel about yourself and your life now is the soil in which you are planting your seeds. You’ll want to plant your seeds in something you believe will keep them safe and well-nourished, in something through which you can give them the care and protection they deserve. Be conscious of your thoughts and beliefs about yourself and your life at this time as they’ll be what cultivates your seeds now through to their harvest.
Make the best of this New Moon in Cancer which will affect us all through early Tuesday, July 9th. This New Moon gives you an opportunity to nurture and protect an extraordinary expression of love – True Love of yourself and your life.
