* Cancer longs for safe emotional territory and comes with a heart full of desire to nourish those it cherishes. Tonight’s moon is a lantern into your sense of where you belong, or want to belong. This moon will support your understanding of the infinite variations on Family.

* Your emotions are invaluable, says this moon. The intelligence of your heart will balance your busy mind if you allow yourself to feel the way through mind puzzles.

* The Cancer moon is a reflection of strong feminine energy (in both women and men). It honors the powerful and brave and, sometimes, fierce aspects of care-taking. If, now and then, we give in to the tendency to placate those we love, we can always step back and notice that we’ve just given someone an emotional pass—again—when the most loving response might be a firm nudge away from the apron of security and onto the open road of that person’s own life. 

* With Cancer, the urge to nourish others is sometimes overwhelming but this New Moon asks you to consider whether you can be purely emotionally resonant with another (or help care for the world) if you haven’t found your way into the center of your own world, your own personal refuge, your heart.

The interior current we name Cancer is always moving below the surface of your busy mind, offering you an emotional compass to balance your sometimes over-wrought thoughts. Please allow for your emotions to surge and, even, overflow if that’s what feels necessary in any given moment. And then imagine what would help your heart soften and rise more fully into balance with the stories your mind is generating. Please listen from this deeper layer. Your heart is a wise old thing.
