Our Cancer New Moon is a deeply emotional, sensitive & feeling New Moon— taking us into our stories of family, our ancestry and what ‘home’ means to us. Our New Moon energy is being strongly influenced by Black Moon Lilith + Neptune Retrograde— the energy of this combination will be felt into the remainder of 2022.
Through Black Moon Lilith this New Moon + Neptune retrograde, this is a time for the collective Feminine to take back their power, own their truth, and not give away the mystery of feminine essence to an authority outside of LOVE. Centuries of the desecration of the feminine, the body, the spirit, the power— are being yanked out of the shadows through Black Moon Lilith— through LIGHT & LOVE may healing ensue.
I have a little more to say on this— this one wild ride indeed!
Cancer New Moon Energy
During a NEW MOON, the side of the moon that remains invisible to us here on Earth is being illuminated by the Sun. Thus our own ‘invisible’ side, our inner feelings, emotions and desires are also being illuminated during a New Moon. During this illumination, we are given a window of opportunity to start a fresh, let go of the energy of the previous cycle and set our intentions, dreams & inner-most desires into conscious action.
For our June 2022 New Moon, our Moon & Sun are in the astrological sign of Cancer.
Cancer is a Water sign and is ruled by the Moon, hence our New Moon heralds an emotional wave of nurturing, some tender ‘mothering’ and a gentle soft respite into ourselves. In light of the incredible upheaval/shifts/changes that have been taking place of late, may be this ‘mothering’ is a kind & wise reminder we need at this time.
Cancer New Moon is a time of deep emotions— you may feel extra sensitive, teary, or simply feel that life is extra-amplified. Let go and feel deeply into yourself and give love to every nuance, action, thought and feeling. Simply rejoice in yourself, and acknowledge yourself as already whole and complete… you are simply LOVE!
Cancer relates to HOME, your ancestry, your roots, family – taking us deep into reflections on how our Earthly home needs to be nourished and nurtured in reverence to the past, but also in regenerative ways for our future. Cancer also relates to your own HOME, feeling at home within yourself, comfortable within your own skin, and feeling safe and secure.
With so much disconnection, separation, and fractured relationships in the world at this time, this Moon reminds us that in order to move forward, we need to embody jewels that bring us together in— one Earthly Home. Kindness. Compassion. Reverently listening to others stories without condemnation. Seeking solutions/actions born out of LOVE rather than retaliated through fear. Owning the stories of the past, and together emerging and co-creating a new story of our future.
Cancer is the sign of the Sacred Feminine, the creative Mother energy and the nurturer. This new moon offers an energy to peer within and view our relationship to our ‘Mother’ within, our sacred intuitive natures (whether we are male or female). What can your ‘Inner-Mother’ teach you at this time… and allow that wisdom to be imparted from a place of unconditional love of self.
Neptune & New Moon
Neptune moves retrograde in Pisces (a water sign) just prior to our Cancer New Moon. Through the element of water (Pisces & Cancer), we are being engaged in cosmic flow— how we flow in our lives, connecting with our emotions, intuition, and the creative flow of Soulful wisdom.
Neptune is the planet of the mysterious, the illusionary and beyond the confines of the program. It calls us to gain insights from higher states of conscious/awareness/dream state. Neptune in Pisces fosters spiritual transformation. This energy provides a potential for humanity to expand beyond perceived limitations through dedicated spiritual practice and to find AUTHENTIC TRUTH. Allow your IMAGINATION to SEE beyond the illusion and awaken to living with Spirit through heart-n-soul.
When Neptune is retrograde, its a time to turn into your inner-self and be receptive to the truth. The illusion is exposed and reality is seen with great clarity. We are faced with the truth within ourselves (things that you are hiding maybe revealed), or deception and lies in the world at large will be exposed for what they truly are. It is a time of truth, reckoning and deep spiritual awakening. It’s a time to unveiling the false prophets and trusting your inner-guidance, trusting LOVE.
With Neptune transiting retrograde until December 2022, the following 6 months is about moving deep in your story, the story of life, and opening your Heart to LOVE to guide you to a higher truth.
Black Moon Lilith & New Moon
Black Moon Lilith is conjunct our New Moon (Moon & Sun), and is also making a strong square to Jupiter in Aries— this is an interesting aspect considering current events in the United States regarding women & their bodies. Not sure about Black Moon Lilith? Here is a great summary.
And here is an extract from Monarch Astro that shines insight into the experience of Black Moon Lilith this New Moon:
“Black Moon Lilith represents aspects of human nature and of the feminine which have historically been put underground, villainized, distorted. We are not necessarily freely taught how to tap into this creatrix magic…
Black Moon Lilith is an archetype of the primordial, powerful feminine, the creatrix, the witch. She is capable of embodying any and all moods, from the classically beautiful and profoundly erotic to the ugly hag, and her power exists in all of these expressions. She is the rejected or exiled dimension of the feminine within patriarchy, whether this judgement is acted upon others or internalized. This is the phenomenon of hatred of the feminine, and the way t
hat seeps into everyday judgement of cycles, menstruation, birth, death, descent, chaos, emotionality, non-linearity…
In the world, this feels so clearly reflected in the recent US Supreme Court ruling against women’s rights to abortion. Jupiter represents law at the social level (universal law at a more spiritual level) and it is squaring this New Moon in Cancer conjunct Black Moon Lilith (Cancer, related to families, and Black Moon Lilith, relating to the primordial feminine as creatrix and destroyer).”
