MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME: NEW MOON IN CANCER
Seasons change! And the New Moon in Cancer on June 28, 2022 will give us a fresh start. Since Cancer is associated with self-trust, home, family, and emotional security, this lunation is an opportunity to achieve a deeper level of comfort in the different areas of our lives.
Making a square to Jupiter, this New Moon will require compromise and action. Squares get a bad rap, but since this one involves Jupiter — the planet of abundance and expansion — it should help get us out of any ruts we’re in. Jupiter in Aries asks us to be bold and to step out of our comfort zones, but to do that, we have to first make peace with where we’re at now.
Action-oriented Mars is also moving toward a square with transformative Pluto, pushing us to face the darker aspects of our personalities. Power struggles may arise, so we ought to choose our battles carefully. Pluto wants us to be empowered, so anything shaken up this lunation is an opportunity to rebuild our lives on more solid ground.
Overall, the Cancerian New Moon energy will help us feel more at home in the different areas of our lives. To see which life area is set for a fresh start, see where 7 degrees of Cancer falls in your astrological chart; likewise, read the horoscope for your sign and/or rising sign below.
Aries: As the Cancerian New Moon transits your Fourth House of Emotional Security, it’s time to feel at home within yourself. Use this transit to find your happy place now — your center — from which you can create whatever you want. By making peace with where you are now, you can make moves that prove to be very fruitful in the future. Take some time to soothe yourself over the next two weeks, tapping into the divine mother within. Now’s the time to “home in” on what makes you feel safe and secure. Maybe it’s an extra day off each week that could do you well, or it’s time to redecorate and fluff up your nest. If you’re looking for a new home, one that you love, now’s the time to start your search! With Jupiter in your sign making a square to this New Moon, be sure to remain calm and centered; your ruling planet, Mars, will soon be squaring off with Pluto, so erring on the side of caution is advised.
Taurus: As the Cancerian New Moon transits your Third House of Communications, it’s time to see the world with fresh eyes! By prioritizing peace of mind, you’ll think more clearly and make the best decisions. Shakespeare said “Nothing is good or bad but thinking makes it so,” suggesting that circumstances are inherently neutral — that we are the assigners of meaning. So, before you assign negative meaning to an inherently neutral circumstance, consider how you can leverage it to your advantage. By assigning positive meaning to everything, you will derive positive results. This new communication cycle starts with your self-talk, but will branch out into other areas: Your social circle may evolve now, or you may wish to start a new intellectual activity, be it writing, teaching, or learning something new. A short trip could be advantageous, as could connecting with your siblings.
Gemini: As the Cancerian New Moon transits your Second House of Values, it’s time to feel at home with your finances and sense of self-worth. By speaking up and saying your peace and/or expressing yourself through your talents and abilities, you increase your worthiness, which contributes to your financial prosperity. To get the most out of this lunation, use the next two weeks to clarify your values. Life’s twists and turns over the past several months may have jostled your priorities, so now it’s important to see what has changed. By building a life based on what you value, you’ll physically feel better. When your body feels good, you’re more able to co-create with the universe to achieve your aims. Abundance is a flow, so for more abundance, flow your energy! Express yourself more and get into the “zone”— talking, writing, singing, dancing, etc. will help and will be a lot of fun!
Cancer: Happy Birthday, Cancer! As the New Moon transits your First House of Identity, it’s time to feel at home within the self! Clock how your body feels now and consider how it could feel better. The body cannot lie, so if something doesn’t feel good, it’s due to some unfinished business or “dis-ease.” Get your body all tuned up and listen to what it’s saying! Further, this transit is all about your self-construct — how you see yourself. We’re constantly creating ourselves and have no “set” personality, so you have free reign to reinvent yourself. Because your personality forms your personal reality, consider what you want to create and how you can act like the person who already has it! The subconscious can’t differentiate between what’s real and what’s being imagined, so let your imagination run wild! Play over in your mind what you want to manifest and bask in your God-given right to joy!
Leo: As the Cancerian New Moon transits your Twelfth House of the Subconscious, it’s time to feel at home in your brain! Use this lunation to instill new beliefs about yourself and what you can have, as we get in life what we subconsciously believe is possible. Over the next two weeks, take time to meditate, rest, and turn inward. Dial into how you want your life to be. Tap into the feelings you want to experience. Use your imagination to visualize having what you want…perfect health, a surplus of money, an amazing mate, etc. The subconscious can’t differentiate between what’s being imagined and what’s actually happened, and when there’s a discrepancy between the two, the subconscious works to make them coincide. By practicing feelings of relief in regard to the subjects that matter most to you, you’ll be ready to jump out of a cake for your birthday and celebrate a brand-new banner year!
Virgo: As the New Moon in Cancer transits your Eleventh House of Big Thinking, it’s time to feel at home with your highest hopes, dreams, wishes, and goals! The Eleventh House is the house of “why not?” i.e., why not go after what you want? There are no “dangling carrots” in the universe, so your desires come with the built-in, prerequisite ability for you to achieve them. Granted, there may be adjustments and sacrifices you have to make along the way, but anything you want is truly realizable. Help along the way this cycle will be your friends or groups of like-minded people. Spend time with those who can support you and return the favor! All miracles are based on love, so the more random acts of kindness you can commit, the more miracles! You’ll want to create a force-field around you of abundance, which is easiest done by connecting with Source and letting love flow through you abundantly!
Libra: As the New Moon in Cancer transits your Tenth House of Status, it’s time to feel at home in your career! Consider what you want to contribute to the world and what impact you want to have. Whether you want to rise in the ranks in your current profession or embark on an exciting new trajectory, act now! You’re in an advantageous position to make shifts, so plant seeds and take action over the next two weeks. As a Libra, you can be rational, strategic, and savvy which can help you achieve great heights, but since this New Moon is in emotional Cancer, get in touch with the emotional experience of having achieved your aims: How will you feel when you receive that promotion or award? Consider your longterm professional goals, clock how those achievements will feel emotionally, and carve out a practical strategy. Call upon VIPs to help — they’re likely to be in your corner during this transit.
Scorpio: As the New Moon in Cancer transits your Ninth House of the Higher Mind, it’s time to feel at home with your expansion! Sometimes we ask the universe for something, and when it comes we get overwhelmed! This is because we’re not “keeping up” with our expansion. Don’t shrink now, Scorpio! Now’s the time to stretch beyond your limits and soar as you broaden your horizons. One way to do this is to publish, broadcast or somehow share yourself with the world; for whenever you share your light, you get more light to share! Another way you can use this transit is to literally go across the world, by planning a trip to a far-off place. You may also choose to expand by reading new literature, studying something new, or experiencing art that transports you to another world. Get comfortable with limitlessness now as your share your gifts, and experience new treasures the world has to offer!
Sagittarius: As the New Moon in Cancer transits your Eighth House of Rebirth, now’s the time to feel at home with letting go. This transformative transit is meant to empower you. Often empowerment comes about by releasing what no longer serves you, and that’s the name of your game this lunation. Consider what occupies your mind most often, and what — if anything — you would like to change. Do you wish to switch careers? Are you ready to move in closer with someone, or to send them on their merry little way? The concept of boundaries may surface this cycle — the ones you set and the ones you dissolve. A good rule of thumb is if a person, place, or thing makes you feel bad, create a boundary; contrarily, if someone or something makes you feel good, dissolve the boundary and move in closer. Nurture what nourishes you and nix what doesn’t. What is love grows, what is not goes!
Capricorn: As the New Moon in Cancer transits your Seventh House of Partnerships, it’s time to feel at home in your relationships— both personal and professional. This cycle will give you the opportunity to strengthen the partnerships you’re in. Spend some time this transit thinking about the energy you’re flowing into your relationships and how you might step up your game. Have those important talks that will allow your relations to flourish; mend fences if you feel a partnership is salvageable and worth another go. Likewise, if you want a blissful romantic relationship or an empowering professional partnership, make a list of all the qualities you want, and start your search! Keep your attention on the 50% you’re responsible for in each relationship you’re in. Since you can only control what you’re doing, concentrate on what you’re flowing into your relationships and relationship ideals — and flow love!
Aquarius: As the New Moon in Cancer transits your Sixth House of Lifestyle, now’s the time to feel at home in your day-to-day life! This lunation is about what you do day-in and day-out, and finding the right combination of things to make you well and happy. This transit is typically about “health” and “work,” so it’s the perfect time to start a healthy diet and/or exercise regimen, or to make adjustments to your job or find new work altogether. Consider what better health and a work life would look like, and take actions toward that over the next two weeks. The changes you make now need not be mundane: Your mental health is everything, so if going out more and painting the town red fulfills you, perhaps that ought to be part of your regularly scheduled program. Start implementing into your day-to-day life those things that make your heart happy — and your work and health will also flourish.
Pisces: As the New Moon in Cancer transits your Fifth House of Pleasure, it’s time to make yourself at home with joy! This transit is about true love, play, fun, and creativity — including your children if you have any or want to! Over the next two weeks, you’ll likely feel really creative, ready to laugh and have fun. Consider what will make your heart happy; the energetic field around your heart is way more powerful than the brain, so the happier your heart, the more energy you’ll have for everything! Once you have an idea of what lights you up, experience it full tilt! This is the perfect transit for manifesting love, romance, good times, and whatever else brings a smile across your face. Use the next two weeks to discover ways you can let your inner little kid into your everyday life. Make mundane tasks more creative, and reignite the spark for a project or partner! Under this transit, fun and play is the name of your game!
