New Moon in Cancer

In the oceanic dance of the great Mother, we find her endlessly swaying back and forth, side to side— making a figure eight with her big, life-giving, swaying hips. This mother moon is inviting us to become absorbed into her mystic void— encouraging us to simply let go and trust…

Whatever you have been holding onto, whether it be a story, a fear, or a coping mechanism, the Great Mother is here now to hold it for you so that you may take a moment to close your eyes and turn your gaze inwards…

As we turn within, we may not like what we find, for the truth has just as much power to destroy as it does to create. This knowing is often what keeps us from truly seeing…

Like a dream that fades into dawn, looking honestly at ourselves feels impossible at times, like we are too big and too complex for the surface of ourselves to accept and even love.

But this new moon is gracing us— our descent and our inevitable rising— with immense mercy.

Dissension is the motif of the Mother herself, who knows that suffering, whether from not feeling enough, safe, held or heard, even by our very selves, is essential for a powerful rising to take place…

The kind of rising that merges your truth with the truth of the universe.

The kind of rising that sweeps you off into a blessed gift that is unimaginable to you in this moment.

The Mother, steeped in the the alchemical language of life itself knows that the more we descend and truly feel the weight of ourselves and our experience, the deeper mark our beautiful souls imprint on the world…

As retrograding Mercury loosely unites with the Sun and Moon in this ensouling sign, we are in a position to offer ourselves immense care in the form of self reflection, forgiveness, speaking from our hearts (even if they hurt), receiving illuminating medicine from the dream world, and trusting that all of the missing pieces of whatever we are facing will indeed find their home— even the lost parts of ourselves.

Many blessings,

Anna
