New Moon in Cancer – July 20, 2020

On July 20th, we have another powerful New Moon in Cancer which helps us implement that healing we need as Mercury moves out of its shadow period. This Moon encourages us to speak softer, to love harder, and to nurture those shadowy aspects of ourselves, and others, with the motherly touch it has been crying for.

When the Moon is in Cancer is heightens our sensitivities, and accompanied by the Sun, it brings our intuitive gifts from the subconscious, to the conscious. This is where empaths feel the overload of excesses when taking in too much of their surroundings – and with the state of the World right now, many are more than likely having a very difficult time in riding the wave of emotional extremes. Grounding and focusing on ways to transmute this overload of emotions is necessary right now to maintain any ounce of sanity.

What needs to be healed, what needs to be loved, and what needs to be cradled is going to be triggered out to the surface. This is where shadow work comes into play – while that Cancerean habit of running away from the conflict is there, we must remain aware and take accountability for our pain, our faults, and also our reactions to such triggers, as this is the only way we can work through the shadow and transmute it into light.
​
Issues within the home and/or family are going to be highlighted with this moon. This is a time of setting new ideals, boundaries, goals, and inventing new ways of going about certain problems that have plagued your family or home life with disharmony. Problems with children may arise because of their need for that motherly love, or if children aren’t present, the inner child will surface and demand that loving touch.

RITUAL
Home/Sacred Space Cleansing

Home is where the heart is, and in the theme of this Cancer New Moon, its time to focus on where we feel most secure, safe, and loved – our homes. Our home is a reflection of ourselves – when it is cluttered, full of stagnate energy and a chaotic mess, then we tend to absorb that scene within and start to feel much the same. This is why it is important to bring order to the home, to bring cleanliness, and to bring an environment where we feel comfortable and at ease.

There are many ways this ritual can be performed, many tools you can include, and also depending on who you share your home with – it can be done on your own or with others.

The best way to start this ritual is to first have a clean house. Even if it takes you a few days to organize and clear out the clutter. A messy house can be a breeding ground for energetic parasites as they thrive off the chaos, and not to mention, that chaos can mirror into our minds and emotions.
​
It may be hard to muster up the energy to get things in order at your home, but with the mindset that you are not only cleaning our physical home, but also metaphorically speaking – you are cleaning the inner home where your vessel is housed within your body as well. This may make it a bit easier to muster up the motivation.

ARIES
Ace of Wands
The New Moon in Cancer is a time of breaking new ground and starting on ideas you have pondered about for quite some time, but these are a bit different, as these deal with your emotions and how you nurture yourself – ie: your financial status in how you also take care of others but balance that out with you as well. The New Moon in Cancer asks you to consider the ways you can take care of you, but also help the ones you love and care for along the way with setting some new goals.
 
TAURUS
King of Wands
The New Moon in Cancer is a time of being present for others but also being present within yourself. You can’t take on too much all at once, as it is overtaxing and is going to take away from the attention you need to give towards more important matters. Learn to set boundaries.
 
GEMINI
7 of Pentacles
The New Moon in Cancer may not be the energy that you like because it seems to be slow-moving in your fast-paced world. This is a time to be patient with the seeds you plant/intentions you cast out, as they are growing and moving in all the right directions, just not on your timing.
 
CANCER
Shadow Work
Shadow work is never easy, and as it seems, the New Moon in Cancer is working on you double time, being that it is also home and within your sign. This is a time to understanding those triggers and getting to work on the chaos which disrupts your inner-peace. This is a time of discovering the solutions and putting them into action.
 
LEO
Ace of Wands
The New Moon in Cancer urges you to plant seeds and to focus on what you wish to bring more energy into. This is a time of cultivating not only your personal needs, but that of others, on a higher level and creating a new goal plan or even lifestyle change that caters to both.
 
VIRGO
Queen of Swords
The New Moon in Cancer might leave you licking your wounds at the end of the day when you deal with unsettling feelings about others in your life. While during the Eclipse you did feel you had the support you needed, during the New Moon it seems as if it had vanished in thin air, and now you are left to finish the job on your own. This is where you need to swallow your pride and get to work, using your own inner resources.
 
LIBRA
9 of Pentacles
The New Moon in Cancer is a time of taking a pause and marveling over all that you have worked so very hard for. This is a time of smelling the roses and patting yourself on the back. Don’t be so quick to plant new seeds just yet, because you need to rake in the harvest of the ones you have been working so hard on growing.
 
SCORPIO

The New Moon in Cancer is a time of taking charge and setting your intentions clearly. You had experienced a major transformational month so far, and so now that you have gone through these changes, you now know exactly what you want, and where you want to go from here.
 
SAGITTARIUS

AQUARIUS
