Turtles, Crabs & Snails - The New Moon in Cancer (June 25)



Why the reference to Turtles, Crabs and Snails?

The New Moon on June 25 falls in the sign of Cancer and the theme becomes 'where is home?' to you...is it a building, a room, a city, state, country, or is it a place you carry with you wherever you go (like our friends mentioned above)? Is your aura space home - wherever YOU are, you're home?

Questions regarding out living situations become prevalent at this time, so take a look around you on June 25 and ask yourself if you're comfortable INSIDE your own skin first and foremost, and if not find ways to change that.

Secondly, look to your outer home - is your landlord not getting back to you about certain things, chances are he will now or you'll be pushing for him to fix or finish something. perhaps you or someone close (Cancer relates to family and those nearest and dearest to us) is about to move IN or OUT - embrace the new emotions that this causes (cancer rules to emotional energy since it's water sign).


The New Moon is a sign of NEW BEGINNINGS but placed in Cancer (a sign of the PAST) you may have to look back with new eyes - flipping through old photographs, running into old friends. Seeing how things back then make sense in the present tense here-and-now. Back to the Home theme - if you're not comfortable, maybe this New Moon you'll be buying things to make your place more a Nest, and less a place to throw your clothes at the end of the day. Candles, comfy pillows, a new sofa (just don't dump your old one on the side of the road which people in Hollywood appear to love doing), a new bed comforter, a cupboard full of food, and so forth.

We need more hugs and cuddles this New Moon too - who cares if you're single, or even coupled, the power of a hug is amazing now, so spread them where you can - who cares if they are well received outwardly, everyone needs physical touch and this New Moon reminds us of this.

MOTHER figures in our lives - or at least parents and family members, or those who form our roots and heritage. For many, looking back on the Parenting and Nurturing we did or didnt receive is likely - and we get to again, look back with new eyes. What happened is now the past, we can forgive, forget and move on.

Can you mother yourself now and do a better job? If not, it's no one's fault but your own. Perhaps it's time to let your Mother be herself, and if you can't accept that, to at least afford her the space to be who she is, warts and all, and continuing your own life givng yourself the love you feel may be lacking.

Our aura space is also a home - who do you allow into your bubble? Building walls isn't always a bad thing - after all we don't need our neighbors watching us sunbathe naked. Some walls are prevention and protection - if people are invading your space, draw some lines this New Moon.


Some great ideas for this New Moon in Cancer are:

Rearrange your furniture and recreate a new home space
Get comfy - in whatever way you desire
Visit your old neighborhood or reconnect to family members
Let go of the past
Celebrate the people who have known you forever!
Throw a party at your place
Give someone, anyone a Hug
Play Mother, Caretaker, Healer, Helper
Ask for what you need
Let people feel how they feel
Honor your own feelings!
Reminisce
Walk down Memory Lane
Be nostalgic
Rekindle old flames, and old times

I think the most magical thing about this New Moon on Sunday is that it gives us the change to revisit the past and give it one more go - to salvage what ultimately was never lost - and to discover that eternal truth and things of beauty will remain always. Especially the emotional karmic links we forge in this lifetime that remain with us on our Soul's Journey.

By redisovering the strength of our past, we can only strengthen our positions in the future.

Love, Neil
