Tonight is a New Moon in Cancer!  Emotions are closer to the surface for many of us in this watery Cancerian time; we have likely been compelled to care deeply about something that we are feeling very tenderly about in a new way.  We feel our hearts ache for the suffering of others, and at the same time are feeling a particularly acute desire to feel safe and cared for ourselves. We are so very tuned in to our emotional depths right now, but we might also be struggling to swim. The need to feel safe is extra strong, and if we get caught up in fear we have the potential to lose sight of everything else as we scramble to find our way to what appears to be soothing comfort.  If we can witness this propensity, and instead simply allow ourselves to ride the emotional wave and feel the fear without trying to fix it, there is great potential for us to come to new understandings of our inner workings and transform the systems in our lives that no longer serve. It is likely that some of the things that have helped us feel comforted or comfortable have passed the point of being helpful. Can we now accept that a change is necessary for growth, and allow ourselves to bob in this sea without grasping for the illusory stability of floating seaweed and sticks? This lunation asks us to consider what we are ready to release so that our lives may be transformed for the better. Mercury joins the moon in this sensitive sign, so we want to talk about these feelings in order to express and make sense of them. It’s a great night to spend time with friends or loved ones who you can share in these conversations with. Mars is also conjunct the moon, though, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself (all) talking fast and frequently interrupted! <3
