New moon Cancer ~ July 17, 2023

The new moon calls for self-reflection and caring for your inner self, but particularly when it occurs in Cancer, you could find it emotionally satisfying — or even necessary — to retreat into your shell and get in tune with your needs, wellness and vitality.

Needs and wants when it comes to comfort and security could rush to the surface, in addition to how we care for ourselves and others. Emotions may swell up from deep inner levels, breaking through the surface of an otherwise calm sea. We can become deeply nostalgic, or feel a profound longing, especially if our lives are not currently providing the kind of nurturing and support we need to thrive.

Under the energies of this lunar event, think about how you can embrace this idea of feeling at home within yourself. Feeling at home is really about acceptance. It is about embracing that this is where you need to be, even though you may feel challenged, fearful or at odds with what lies before you. Shifting the energy of your home or immediate surroundings takes time and commitment. Remember, it’s better to make a series of tiny changes than attempt to do a major overhaul all in a day or two.

Cancer affirmation: Home is where my heart is at.
