CANCER NEW MOON: A Blanket of Love
What would it feel like to be wrapped in a blanket of love all the time? To feel safe, stable, nurtured, comforted and whole in every situation? Imagine what it would be like to walk out each day with confidence that love guides your paths and handles every experience?
The Cancer spirit is easy to summons. All you need is a safe place and to come to find stillness within yourself. Your exhausted mind lets go of the excess thoughts, you feel as though you were dipping into a cool swimming pool on a hot summer day. You sink into the fluid waters that contour your body and carry it in its waves.
Cancer is a water sign - it’s energy is fluid, cleansing and receptive. This cardinal water sign makes it really special and sweet for connecting with loved ones, those you call family. This is high time for spiritual practices, for magic, for spells, for rituals. The ancestors are easy to reach, the angels are in closer proximity, even the sounds of nature are louder.
Two nights ago, my son and I spent the evening together. The windows were wide open with a view of large trees joined together like a tribe. I could feel the essence of family as my heart was so happy and my soul cherishing the moments we could spend together. The sky began to light up with flashes across the sky, seeing the trees through the quick flashes of daylight, thunder rolled like drums in the heavens as it began to pour. We both love the rain. He is a Spring baby! So he always sinks into comfort and feels nurtured when we have those wonderful tropical rainfalls that bring in a fresh scent from nature’s earth garden.
This rain was special, it was a conversation with nature that brought the ancestors in our midst to assure us that they are standing by. There was a bird that seem as though it was sitting on the window pain. It’s melody was so loud, it felt as though it was inside. It was raining so hard it could not fly in the sky.
Each Moon cycle brings new energy for growth. But what specifically should you grow now? Astrology typically answers “what” questions by looking at houses. Look to the house of your birth chart with Cancer on the cusp: here’s your personal seed bed this month. This is the place where you usually “do” this sign, where the Moon is most at home, and the dance of her phases is most relevant. The New Moon may bring a unique opportunity here… but you must tune in to hear it’s whispers and understand its lyrics.
What does Cancer have to say?
Waiting for Cancer to show up is the fun part. No way can I predict it for you. You may get a brilliant new idea for a creative project—or a sudden urge to really clean your house or garden. It’s amazing what clearing and organizing your space can do. It’s like birds building the nest before the eggs appear. Or perhaps you’ll be asked to act as Cancer’s agent. You might cook your favorite dish or try a new one, or you might bake a cake to cheer up a friend. A child or lost cat might need your help. Cancer’s message? Notice how much you receive whenever you selflessly give.
But what if nothing wonderful happens? What if you simply feel stuck? That’s a sign that you’re under the spell of the Dark Mother, the one who resists your growth. She’s the one who always keeps you from the party because something bad could happen. On the first day of your diet, she likes to surprise you with your favorite dessert.
According to Jungian analyst Marion Woodman, the Dark Mother is like “a great lizard lounging in the depths of the unconscious.” She is threatened by change. She wants you mired in inertia, feeling so incapable, that you can’t aspire to anything new. In the old days, knights took swords to the dark-mother dragons hiding in their caves. But now, with an open heart and courageous awareness, you can simply relax and coax your inner dragon into the light. There you can see how fearful she is. Speak softly, stroke her brow, and tell her everything is going to be all right. Once you gain her trust, the old dragon will change before your eyes into a willing and magical partner.
“How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow? I must have a dark side also If I am to be whole”― C.G. Jung
