With the moon as Cancer’s ruler, this New Moon in Cancer on July 5th, 2024 carries extra weight. It’s a time to honor the caretakers in our lives – those who nurture children, pets, parents, or dedicate themselves to unseen service. Cancer season is a potent reminder to prioritize self-care. Caretakers often deplete their own resources and this New Moon invites you to ask: “What can I do to refill my cup? How can I step back and find my flow, so I can return to my caretaking role with renewed joy?” Remember, self-care isn’t selfish – it’s essential!
On top of it all, this New Moon comes at a significant time, nestled between two intense Capricorn Full Moons on June 21st and July 21st. These Full Moons represent profound karmic releases, heralding a turning point for something you’ve been diligently working on. The culmination of these efforts, especially influenced by Pluto’s presence in Capricorn, will be felt deeply during the second Full Moon.
Capricorn’s energy is intense, structured, and demanding, particularly resonating with masculine energy. In stark contrast, Cancer season and the upcoming New Moon invites us into a “Soft Girl Summer” vibe. It’s time to slow down, be present, and indulge in the simple pleasures of life. Craving a slow, present summer filled with nature walks, good books, delicious meals, and backyard hangs? It all begins on July 5th! Imagine a summer filled with nature, delectable meals, and intimate gatherings with loved ones. So, in contrast to this intense energy, Cancer season and the upcoming New Moon usher in a “Soft Girl Summer” vibe.This is the essence of the Cancer New Moon.
Setting Intentions with the Cancer New Moon
On July 5th, take a moment to harness the potent energy of the New Moon to set your intentions. Cancer, ruled by the Moon, embodies divine femininity, self-care, and the strength found in softness. Here are some ways to align with Cancerian principles and make the most of this lunar phase:
Embrace Divine Femininity: Tap into your inner goddess and honor the feminine qualities within you. This could be through creative expression, nurturing relationships, or simply allowing yourself to feel and process emotions deeply.
Prioritize Self-Care: Cancer’s energy encourages us to nurture ourselves. Whether it’s taking a long bath, practicing mindfulness, or enjoying a hobby you love, make self-care a priority. Remember, taking care of yourself is not a luxury but a necessity.
Own Your Softness as Strength: In a world that often values hardness and hustle, Cancer reminds us that there is immense power in softness. Allow yourself to be vulnerable, to ask for help, and to lean into the support of your community.
Let Go of Pressure: The intense energy of the Capricorn Full Moons may have left you feeling pressured and stressed. Use the New Moon to release these burdens. Let go of the need to control every outcome and trust that the universe has a plan for you.
Connect with Nature: Spend time outdoors, whether it’s walking in the park, hiking in the woods, or simply sitting in your garden. Nature has a grounding effect and can help you reconnect with yourself and the world around you.
Create Intimate Gatherings: Plan small, meaningful get-togethers with friends and family. Cancer loves the feeling of home and hearth, so invite loved ones for a cozy dinner, a game night, or a backyard barbecue.
As the New Moon in Cancer graces the skies on July 5th, allow yourself to sink into its gentle, nurturing energy. This is your time to slow down, embrace the beauty of the present moment, and prioritize your well-being. Let go of the pressure and honor the divine femininity within you. Remember, there is strength in softness, and there is power in self-care.
So, light a candle, set your intentions, and welcome the “Soft Girl Summer” with open arms. The universe is aligning to support your journey towards a more balanced, nurtured, and soulful existence. Enjoy the magic of this New Moon and let it guide you to a summer of tranquility and joy. ♋
