New moons are ideal times for envisioning, planning, and initiating whatever we want to manifest. Answering timely questions is a great method to enhance and expand your aspirations. For even more clarity and inspiration, record your responses. Writing activates a deeper part of our consciousness. The best practice is to keep a journal, which gives you something to look back on and can bring insight.

CANCER NEW MOON questions to ask:

• How can I demonstrate more empathy and kindness?

• What can I do to improve caring for myself and others?

   

• What could benefit from more nurturing from me now?

   

• What if I recognized my gut instincts more?

   

• How can I better develop my intuitive abilities?

   

• What can I do to demonstrate better leadership in my family and community connections?

  Focus on what you most want and start     working on it today! The new moon is the   best time of the month to plant the seeds.

 The next steps of our life, our goals, and dreams, may feel complicated, when we realize all we have been through recently. Both consciously and unconsciously, we have thoughts, feelings, and experiences that have brought us to exactly where we are. And no matter what we have experienced already, being prepared can help us be more ready to make positive changes for a better future.

BLESSINGS

The main planetary aspect now is the sun uniting with the moon, bringing renewal and new opportunities. Of course, there are many other planets, which contribute complexity as well as some complications. Specifically, Mercury, Chiron, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, and Neptune are all involved in one way or another in the current cycle. Let’s break it down into what you most need to know.

FAST HEALING

Ideas come fast, and words can heal, courtesy of clever Mercury in versatile Gemini syncing up with therapeutic Chiron in strong Aries. Be curious and focus on flexibility for the best outcomes now.

Mindset matters may be featured. What you think, say, and believe does affect how things turn out.

STAY THE COURSE MORE EASILY

Discipline is also boosted. You may find you can stick to your goals a bit better nowadays, thanks to initiating Mars in bold Aries, which is boosting taskmaster Saturn in brilliant Aquarius.

HOPE, LOVE, AND POSSIBILITIES

Both the sun and moon square off with lucky Jupiter in some confrontational challenges. It’s time to sort out and reconcile what we personally want from what we are able to provide for our family and loved ones. But loving Venus in smooth-talking Gemini shows up to save the day with a more harmonizing connection to Jupiter, who is currently situated in self aware Aries. So, with some charm and flexibility, we find we can create win-win situations and make the most of the opportunities around us.

PLEASANT MEMORIES

Meanwhile, magical Neptune, who is still at home in dreamy Pisces, begins another long retrograde, which means that memories, mysticism, and imagination likely get a re-boot now through the beginning of December. Nostalgia is starred these days. Take some time to remember and preserve happy moments of your life.

Remember: Life becomes easier when we are respecting these natural themes and honoring the divine monthly and seasonal cycles, which also allow us to more fully connect with our deepest desires and actualize our highest ideals.

What is it that you most want? Your intention making is always powerfully enhanced during the new moon phase. It is a great time to envision all you want to become and bring into your life. When you are truly focused, and boosted by this right timing, whatever your heart desires can manifest more easily now. Think about these topics:

FOUNDATIONS, domestic matters, HOME, close family relationships, early childhood conditioning, gut instincts, INTUITION, SAFETY, internal frame of reference, security, FEELING AT HOME WHEREVER YOU ARE, protection, feelings of belonging, COMFORT, financial security, tenacity, growth, HUMAN DEVELOPMENT, nourishing, NURTURING, processes, training, teaching, PRACTICING, learning, EMOTIONAL SENSITIVITY, caregiving, CARING SKILLS & ABILITIES, NURTURING NEW BEGINNINGS, caretaking, COMPASSION, emotional closeness, intimacy, feelings, VULNERABILITY, changing moods, EMPATHY, sensitivity to other people’s emotional state, awareness of one’s own feelings, kindness, TENDERNESS, awareness of needs, being supportive of others, sustenance, ACCEPTING SUPPORT, nourishment, nutrition, FOOD, parenting, CHILD REARING, mothering, PREGNANCY, motherhood, women’s issues, SISTERHOOD, and in the body: breasts, chest, stomach, womb, and pancreas.
