What a new moon in Cancer means
The new moon in Cancer sows in the intimate: home, family, roots, emotional security. It is the moment to decide where and with whom you want to feel at home, and to care for what truly nourishes you.
Its intentions concern a move, a reconciliation, a rest routine, a family project or the wish to recentre. It rewards those who listen to their feelings before their calendar. The full moon in Cancer, around Christmas or in January, will tell what this cocoon has grown.
Three intentions to set at the new moon in Cancer
