Cosmologically Speaking, this New Moon in Cancer (July 4th) is perhaps the most fertile time of the year in which to cast your intent for growth in any area. Cancer is the ultimate Mother-family energetic archetype. It rules the breasts, chest, and stomach - all nurturing parts of the body. It represents all the women in our lives. It is considered to be the most feminine energy, the most receptive for planting seeds, the most nurturing as it represents home, mother and baby, and the fuel for any type of art. The deepest home is the soul. Thus it is a time to connect with yours. Soul is the place where we feel most at home, most at peace, have access to infinite love, knowing, abundance and bliss. When you are experiencing all of these moods, you are in the presence of your soul. It might be helpful to make a list - or a collage - of all the things, people and experiences that tend to contribute to these qualities within. What would you like to see grow in your life? Make a wish list. It is a time to bring forth the most feminine aspects of yourself regardless of gender and to attract the ideal nurturing person into your life.
I love my Cancerian friends as well as those nurturing qualities within myself. Cancers bring so much emotional support and wild humor to my life. Their symbol, that looks like the number 69, represents the sacred embrace of those closest...family and other loved ones. When emotionally unblocked (as they can easily retreat into their shells when their sensitivity is violated), they are forces of nature in that their energy supply seems endless. They can be so emotionally present. In their receptivity to the souls of others, they supply the juice that makes things grow. Unfortunately, their support is often desired yet, equally, taken for granted. In our Western culture those lovely meals, that loving smile, the deep gaze into one's eyes, the right words that set the soul on fire, and fierce protectiveness of loved ones is too often easily absorbed and ignored. Take time over the next few days to cherish those qualities of yourself and those of others...and watch them grow over the next two weeks.
This new moon in Cancer, now boosted by Mars having gone direct last week, is a time to dip into your ancient wisdom. This wisdom shows up in our dreams. It is a good time to learn about yourself through dreamwork. The symbolic Crab is an ancient creature who has had many homes and felt many things. It is a good time to get in touch with your heritage. Which of the curses of your ancestors are you carrying? If they are not serving you find ways to release them. Which of your ancestors were powerful forces? Know that their power is in your DNA. Just open to it and feel the support. It can empower your goals and your potential.
Finally, pause for a moment, to allow yourself to feel the embrace of the Divine Mother. What is she saying to you? How does it feel? It is time to 're-enwomb' yourself in the loving embrace of your internal home as well as that of the Earth. What will you give back to both? Which new petal of you will reveal itself in two weeks on the Full Moon?
Happy Growing!
