Enjoy the read…
Tomorrow, a New Moon cycle begins.
Not with light.
But with darkness.
Not because there’s nothing to see -
But because something sacred is starting from within.
We’ve left behind the airy momentum of Gemini.
Now, we descend into Cancer -
the Moon’s home,
where thoughts blur and feelings lead.
This isn’t a rational sign.
It’s an ancestral one.
A place where memory lives in the body, not the brain.
And when the Moon returns to Cancer,
she doesn’t illuminate.
She remembers.
She takes us back to what shaped us.
To the roles we learned to play.
To the protections we built before we knew we were building them.
Cancer is the sign of the mother.
But not every mother meets our needs.
This Moon may touch that tender place -
the gap between what you longed for and what you received.
The ache that formed around absence.
You might feel something surfacing now:
A heaviness you can’t name.
A sadness that belongs to your lineage.
Because Cancer also rules the matrilineal line -
the emotional DNA passed from mother to daughter, womb to womb.
What your mother held back.
What her mother swallowed.
What now lives in your chest, your stomach, your nervous system.
Not all of it is love.
Some of it is loyalty.
Some of it is silence.
Some of it is pain that never had words.
Cancer is symbolised by the crab.
In myth, the crab tried to help Hercules in battle.
It was crushed.
The gods placed it in the sky.
But the message remains:
How many times have you done the same?
Entered battles that weren’t yours to fight.
Carried emotions that weren’t yours to hold.
Disappeared into the role of the helper, the healer, the one who understands.
Because being invisible felt safer than being unmet.
This New Moon brings all of that to the surface.
The devotion that became disappearance.
The care that concealed control.
The silence that cost you your voice.
But Cancer is not passive.
It’s Cardinal Water -
It initiates. It moves.
Not in straight lines -
but in rhythms, shaped by tides and instinct.
It retreats before it returns.
So if your path doesn’t make sense to others -
maybe it’s not supposed to.
The crab doesn’t walk the obvious path.
It survives by sensing what others can’t.
And if you know your natal chart -
Look to where 4° Cancer sits
That’s the part of your life being stirred.
The place where something ancient is ready to begin again.
The New Moon sky is dark.
But that doesn’t mean it’s empty.
It means the light is inside you -
quiet, alive, waiting.
Not for the world to see it.
But for you to trust it.
