Prepare for a celestial dance as the New Moon in Cancer spirals into the universe on the 6th of July, 2024, ushering in a prime moment to reset under its transit. Typically regarded as feminine within astrological parlance, the Moon flits swiftly through the zodiac, shifting signs every few days. This rapid pace often leads us to overlook its transits as minor affairs compared to the grand movements of the Sun or the more formidable Saturn and Jupiter, both of which are traditionally seen as masculine.
It's time for a perspective shift: let's celebrate the Moon with the reverence it deserves. First, though, let's turn our attention to the astrological interplay between the Sun and Moon. The Moon's transits offer subtle shades; it is the subtext to the Sun's bold narrative. Both are warranted in a compelling cosmic story, though an overemphasised solar astrology can make us forget the shadows which add dimension and depth.
Thus, we must give special attention to the Cancer New Moon on 6th July. This Moon, ruling over Cancer, is in its celestial home, its domicile. It’s a pivotal moment, occurring midway through the year, and as a New Moon, it signals opportunities for setting intentions and goals. This is an ideal time to pen down or journal mid-year resolutions, focusing on the “local” rather than the global.
Cancer governs the home and the hearth in our natal charts, symbolising our most private realms. This New Moon prompts us to infuse our local environments with life, love, and emotion—hallmarks of Cancer’s influence. Think of resolutions that add texture rather than grand narrative arcs. Invite friends over for a no-agenda dinner, spend cherished moments with family, or enhance your home’s aesthetic with unique, tactile pieces like a bespoke green ceramic bowl. These small acts gain significance over time, enriching our emotional landscapes.
Embrace activities that nourish and emotionally enrich, especially around familiar, comforting settings. Given Cancer’s watery nature, consider spending time near brooks, harbours, spas, or pools to align with this Moon’s energy.
With Venus positioned just a few degrees from this New Moon, we are reminded that love and pleasure are our birthrights. Here, Venus imparts a gentle, nurturing love—motherly and nourishing. Love, in its many forms, is part of our future, ready for us to manifest.
This Saturn retrograde will also be aspecting the Moon with a steady trine, offering some sense of emotional stability. This aspect brings openness tempered with caution and support in creating and maintaining healthy boundaries.
As we approach this New Moon in Cancer, let’s embrace the chance to reset, focusing on the intimate, the local, and the emotionally significant. Celebrate the subtle yet profound influence of the Moon and let it guide you in creating a rich, textured narrative for the remainder of the year.
