This week, we’re experiencing a powerful and potent new moon in the sign of Cancer. The moon is Cancer’s natural ruler, which means that Cancer is feeling right at home. It also means that this luminary’s energies will be extra potent for all of us.
When the moon is in Cancer, it automatically brings things like security, comfort, home, and family to our attention. We’re talking Big Hygge Energy. So don’t be surprised if you feel the need to draw inward and hole up with your nearest and dearest in the comfort of your own home.
New moons are a time of slowing down, reflecting, and setting new intentions for what we want to manifest in the month and year ahead. So it would be natural to want to draw things into your life that are related to those same themes of comfort, home, and nurturing and protecting your family and loved ones.
Of course, that’s just the macro view that affects all of us. Each lunation is very personal, and to find out how it will affect you on an individual level — and to learn how you can harness this new moon to your fullest ability — you’ll need to read your sun and rising signs below.
