A New Moon for Home, Family, and Safety
The Moon Starts a New Cycle in Cancer
A Cancer New Moon marks the beginning of a lunar cycle focused on feelings and what helps you feel secure. When the Sun and Moon meet in Cancer, attention turns inward toward: intuition, memory, and your instincts. This New Moon invites reflection on how you care for yourself, where you feel at home, and how you feel a sense of safety and stability.
What to do at a Cancer Moon transit?
When the moon is in Cancer the mood is delicate and guarded. We are drawn toward our gentle side to process our emotional inventory. Be warm and considerate. Respect other people's boundaries. Let your boss know you are doing your share of the work. Nurture and reassure friends, family, and co-workers. Feel free to pour out positive feedback for good work. Make your home comfortable and safe. Listen to your gut instincts. Nourish yourself. Take long hot baths.

How to set Cancer Intentions
Work with the potent power of the new moon by setting intentions. For best results make a list of up to 10 intentions at the exact time of the New Moon up to 72 hours after. Free-write your heart's desires. As the moon waxes come back and refine your intentions into routines, goals, and habits. As the moon wanes come back to release the intentions that are not in alignment with your best interests. Come back throughout the year when the moon is transiting through Taurus. reflect, analyze, and refine where your intention stands.

It makes it easy to return to my new moon intentions to reflect, analyze, and refine where I stand. You can too by getting yourself a notebook of any kind and using this blog post as a guide.
