New Moon in Cancer

The New Moon in Cancer on July 9, 2021 (at 21:17EST) is home base.

Take shelter. Make sanctuary.

Soften in your shell. Cuddle up in your den.

Grab a life-preserver. Come to your aid.

Feel your belly.

What do you need the most right now?

Tend your needs.

We all need care. We all need belonging.

Listen to your softest spots.

Navel gaze.

Your sensitivity is a strength.

Embrace every emotion, and respond with the necessary nourishment.

Feed yourself.

Soothe your soul.

Go back to the beginning.

Umbilicus. 

Source from origin, from the ancient Mother. Endless replenishment is available as your birthright. Receive it.

Hold yourself as you would hold a child. The child in you is beautiful.

Allow yourself to develop. Ripen. Grapes on the vine.

Your maturity is beautiful.

There is history here. In your blood, flowing.

In your cells. Cells made of worlds. Worlds made of rivers, of blood.

Tissues. Swales. The marsh. Eddies.

Memories of forebears. Inklings of descendants.

Harm. Healing.

The limits of time. The power of well-preserved space to grow life. To foster familiarity. Kinship. A constant blossoming. An inherent withering.

None of this is inconsequential.

Everything imprints.

Drink from the wells of before.

Peep within the protective exterior.

Coming home to yourself can mean breaking the brittle shell that keeps you comfortable. Is it holding you - or is it holding you hostage?

Love yourself through the patterns of the past.

Make your belly a home. Inhabit your space as a cauldron of loving connection. Cultivate kinship.

Bondage comes from broken bonds. To outgrow a state of bondage, nurture the bonds. Re-member.

We are the life-bringers. The memory keepers. The stewards of soft-hearted strength. We carry on.

If I really let myself feel it, I am devastated by how much I care about life and the worlds we share.   Broken open,   Glowing.      and somehow i do trust that everyone, everywhere, will ultimately be led to love.

This month, I had the immense good fortune to receive a custom Starmap from Evening Star Studios. I was so touched when I opened it. I knew right away that it was a fine art heirloom that would be preserved and passed down through my family over the ages. I am so impressed by this artist's work, as it is obviously imbued with mystical intent that defies earthly description. Explore her Starmaps and order yours here.

Aries: Home is within me. I am spacious around my feelings as I make room for more love & joy. I invest in new ways to create a bright future.

Taurus: Self-care means tending to my mind. Sensing my childhood conditioning, I exchange those early ideas & value systems for truer ones rooted in self-love.

Gemini: I am fed, and I will continue to receive. Breaking through an old shell of scarcity, I trust that safety & abundance are possible when I center my own replenishment.

Cancer: New Moon, New Me. Beginning again means un-burying myself. Exposing the hidden treasure, accepting the unique-to-me, embracing the unknown.

Leo: A change in course merits grief. New directions require release. I let fresh air grace the hidden corners of my psyche, reconnecting to self & soul.

Virgo: I welcome new communities to belong to that support me in being true to myself. As I embody courage & confidence, life becomes more possible.

Libra: I clear family histories that define ‘success’ & ‘failure’ in my life. My brilliance is innate. To live my gifts, I prioritize what brings me alive.

Scorpio: I recalibrate my compass. Conditioned beliefs are fragile compared to knowledge of truth. I seek ways of seeing that deepen my anchor & extend my reach.

Sagittarius: I dive deep into the mystery of me. Ancestral realms contain pain & power. Change is a healing elixir when I allow myself to thoroughly feel it. 

Capricorn: I embrace a relationship restart. Old patterns of relating are blueprints ripe for reinvention. The more I value myself, the more intimacy I invite.

Aquarius: I begin rhythms & rituals that nourish me in work & daily life. Breath by breath, I hold myself as I move through change. Unhooking from the past is the first step to freedom.

Pisces: I embrace myself as a creator. No longer a victim living lost at the whims of life, I love myself with the art of dedication to the inspiration flowing through me.
