The moon stands in the center of the light of the full moon and dark of the new moon.
The Cancer waning moon asks us to pause, reflect, assess. It is a good time to release resistance to dedication and practicality. When we started the moonth in Virgo we focused on developing routines and healthy habits. Now that the Virgo moonth is coming to end in a week, ask yourself how can you sustain your routines and healthy habits? How can you be more dedicated and practical?
What about Cancer?
Cancer is known to take a leadership role in the areas of home, family, emotional awareness, and nourishment. The Cancer influence is sympathetic and emotional. Cancers trust their gut instincts. Cancer has a need to give and receive emotional warmth and support. The archetypes of Cancer are the mother, the healer, the caregiver. When Cancer is on a downward spiral the energy is insecure, fearful, and defensive. The tarot card associated with Cancer is The Chariot. It symbolizes an intuitive and resourceful leader. The Chariot goes on a practical quest to protect their personal business and home.
Cancer is Cardinal Water - AKA Queen of Cups
The Cancer Mood
When the moon is in Cancer the mood is tender and guarded. We are drawn to connect with our gentle side and 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.

Reflect and Assess
Take a look at your intentions and notes from the Virgo new moon and consider what is asking to be released. What can you cut away to make room space for your Virgo intentions to manifest. Also, what can you release to make room to set your Libra intentions next week?
