Our New Moon at 21°59' Cancer arrives on Tuesday, July 14, at 2:43am PT. A Cancer New Moon carries the flavor of going within, of searching the depths of our feelings for what needs to be felt, heard, healed, and nourished. This one takes that a step farther, as it is conjunct Mercury retrograde, asking us to think with our heart, and speak from our deep well of knowing. What wants to be healed in your life? What wants your heart's attention? What wants to be nurtured inside of you? As a Sacred Voice Alchemist, I also feel that this conjunction with Mercury is asking us to look at the shadow of our voices. Where have we stayed small or silent, in order to avoid hurt feelings? Where have we ignored our own intuition? Where have we dimmed our magic, because the world expects us to be practical or logical? Cancer also brings in themes of family and home. Perhaps these questions might make a healing conversation during quality time with our loved ones, where we feel safe to express our tender and vulnerable feelings. Or...where we need to set boundaries around them. Enter Saturn in Aries squaring off to this lunation. It is a loose square, but will be felt nonetheless. He is reminding us the importance of boundaries, and taking responsibility for our feelings. Whether the healing conversations are had within yourself, or with your loved ones...bravery will be required. Feelings may be hurt, but it is important that we breathe through the discomfort and finish the conversation. For the sake of love and authenticity. For the sake of keeping our hearts flowing with truth. And for the sake of empowering our voices to be the divine creative force that they are. Our Tarot questions are: *Where do I most need healing in my inner world right now? *Where do difficult conversations need to be had? *How can I empower my voice to speak freely from my heart and inner knowing?
