New Moon in Cancer July 15, 2015
Each month at New Moon it’s time to push the systems reset button on your emotions. Where have you been in the past month? What are your plans and where are you going? In astrology the Moon represents our connection to the past as well as the ebb and tide of emotion. In the water sign of Cancer, there is an added emphasis on surfing emotional highs and lows, then creating a safe space to feel your feelings.
The Moon in Cancer is a reflection and reminder of all the ways we connect to our lineage. Who is your family? This can be your family of origin or your soul family, your friends or community with similar values and interests. Are you at peace in your relationship to Mother and Father? If not, other planet patterns this month support a time to turn a corner.
The New Moon in Cancer this month is supported by serious Saturn in Scorpio. Take the time to connect with those who are most important to you in your life. Pay your respects. There is an element here about getting raw, real and vulnerable. You may have the opportunity to take your emotional connections to another level. However, it is important to create clear and healthy boundaries with the people you care for the most.
This New Moon is near motivated Mars and Mercury the messenger. Use the fuel to direct your communication with love rather than emotional reaction. This is no time to beat around the bush. Take your time to think before you speak so you don’t put your foot in your mouth. With four planets in Cancer at this New Moon, it’s important to slow down. Emotions take their own time to process. Notice if you wish things were moving more quickly. If you are experiencing impatience or irritation, grow up and trust the timing.
Supportive Suggestions for Cancer New Moon
- Take some private time for yourself and family

“The Cancer New Moon is a time of nurturing and family. Quiet your emotions, and be compassionate toward yourself and loved ones. Take care of yourself with some personal private time so you have energy to nurture others. Cancer is a water sign that desires emotional connection. Be loving, gentle and kind. Remember your Mother. Create a safe space of peace and protection.” – Excerpt from “Manifesting by the Light of the Moon,” 2015 second edition by Kathryn Andren
Remember the expression: Where attention goes, energy flows? The Cancer New Moon is all about who you nurture. Just like a gorgeous garden, when you give time, energy or love to specific people in your life, watch these relationships grow. When you give your loving attention to people, projects or plans this month, notice what develops for you.
