CANCER/CANCER RISING Excerpt: "...it's essential to reflect on your feelings and try to identify the underlying cause of your perspective, as this could help you find ways to move forward and approach progress with a more open mind..." ♈ ♉ ♊ ♋ ♌ ♍ ♎ ♏ ♐ ♑ ♒ ♓ New Moon Message & Intention for Members Below: art: Peter Mohrbacher As a Cancerian, you generally find it uncomfortable to have to adapt to constant change and innovation. Under a New Moon in Aquarius, you might feel overwhelmed by this highly progressive sign's seemingly cold and unfeeling nature towards the familiar and sentimental. You struggle to cope with stress, keep up with technological advancements, the rapid pace of society and conversations that feel shallow or disconnected from your emotions. During an Aquarian lunation, it is common for your deepest fears to come to the surface. Yet, much as you might dread it, sometimes change is absolutely necessary. There could be a variety of reasons why you tend to only see the negative aspects of progress. Perhaps in the past, you have experienced times of significant reform or sudden change as having adverse consequences for you, which may make you more cautious or sceptical of future progress. You might also feel intimidated by the pace of change and feel like you cannot keep up. It could be related to fears of losing control or the inability to adapt to new situations. It could also be due to a lack of understanding or lack of proper education about the nature of progress which may be causing misconceptions or biases. Under this lunation, it's essential to reflect on your feelings and try to identify the underlying cause of your perspective, as this could help you find ways to move forward and approach progress with a more open mind. You see, with Pluto also about to enter Aquarius, we must expect major transformations in various aspects of daily life. These changes may bring progress but also disruptions, and will not take into account your sentimental attachment to certain familiar things. Critical shifts around this New Moon help you to understand the balance between valuing intimacy and personal attachment to things, and the freedom and growth that can come from letting go of these attachments. Clinging to familiar things can lead to stagnation in your own life and in the lives of those you love. Use the detaching influences of this lunation to embrace some much-needed solitude and space, so you can bring greater self-awareness and fewer unrealistic expectations from others. This not only leads to less mental pressure but allows you to accept that nurturing friendships also means being open to change and growth within those relationships, and to be willing to embrace new challenges as they arise. Remember that growth and change can be uncomfortable, but ultimately they lead to personal growth and the ability to achieve greater things. Throughout history, those who have attempted to bring about change have often been labelled as troublemakers. Looking back, it is these individuals who have played a vital role in shaping and reforming society. Try to be open-minded and willing to take risks under this New Moon, even if it means going against the norm or your accustomed habits. Stay mindful that those who are most comfortable with the old ways or the status quo will always be critical of new ideas, but those who are willing to embrace change and take the road less travelled will ultimately be the ones to make progress. This lunation blesses you with a chance to see that if you want to achieve something new in life, you must be willing to let go of the old ways of thinking and doing things. Embracing change may be uncomfortable and met with resistance, but it is essential for personal growth and achieving more extraordinary things. So, don't be afraid, throwing stones at the troublemakers; maybe be a troublemaker yourself, if necessary. Embrace change and use those very stones to pave your own future. NEW MOON INTENTION: I am open to change and willing to take risks for my own growth and progress. I release my attachment to familiar things and embrace the freedom and growth that may come with letting go. I am mindful of my fearful reactions to progress and change and strive to understand the underlying cause of my perspective. I embrace solitude and create a space in which to bring greater self-awareness and fewer unrealistic expectations from others. I nurture and treasure my old friendships while being open to adaptation and growth within those relationships. I accept that growth and change can be uncomfortable but ultimately lead to personal growth and the ability to achieve greater things. I am not afraid to be the disrupter if necessary in order to bring about positive change. I am willing to let go of old, expired ways of thinking and doing things to achieve something new in my life.
