A moment to turn inward, plant with care, and let softness lead.

Summer begins not in fire, but in water.
Before we rise into the radiance of Leo or settle into the sacred rhythm of Virgo, we pass through the soft threshold of Cancer — the Moon’s home and the season’s first seed.

This week’s New Moon in Cancer at 4° invites you to begin again — not with urgency, but with care.
Not with pressure, but with presence.

Cancer is the sign of the sacred inner world — the womb space, the tides, the quiet knowing that guides us home. Under this moon, your intentions don’t need to be loud or polished. They need to be real. Rooted. True.

Lunar Wisdom: Symbols, Cards, and Elemental Energy

• Sabian Symbol for 4° Cancer: “A Cat Arguing with a Mouse”
  This symbolic image stirs emotional tension between power and vulnerability — urging us to notice when we are reactive and when we are truly responding with care. It invites us to disrupt habitual power struggles and return to emotional safety.
• Ruling Planet: The Moon 
  As the natural ruler of Cancer, the Moon feels at home here. Her gentle yet powerful pull reminds us that intuition is a sacred compass. When we follow her rhythms, we return to our natural emotional tides.
• Element: Water 
  Cancer’s cardinal water energy initiates us into feeling, into memory, into care. It cleanses, comforts, and softens. It invites us to let our emotions guide us with wisdom.
• Tarot Card: The Chariot 
  A card of forward motion rooted in emotional self-mastery. Under this New Moon, The Chariot reminds us: when we honor what we feel, we move forward with alignment and purpose.
• Bonus Energy: Jupiter in Cancer 
  Jupiter’s current placement offers emotional abundance and spiritual support. There’s an amplification of care, nourishment, and intuitive growth — a reminder that softness expands us.

The Three Seeds of Summer: Cancer, Leo, Virgo

This Cancer New Moon is the first of three seasonal seeds you’ll plant:

🌊 Cancer: Emotional truth, safety, care, inner belonging
🔥 Leo: Radiant self-expression, courage, creative joy
🌾 Virgo: Devotion, sacred order, aligned service

Let your intentions be planted now — gently, without needing to know the full shape of the outcome. Let this be the soft beginning of something beautiful.

Working with the Waxing Moon

After the New Moon, the Moon begins to wax — growing in light, calling us to grow alongside her.

🦁 On Friday at 2:06 AM (EST) the Moon moves into Leo, inviting you to express what you’ve planted. Let your intention rise into visibility.
🌾 By Sunday, the Moon will move into Virgo, asking for refinement. Ground your goals. Take one step toward sacred structure.

🌑 Let the New Moon root your truth
🦁 Let Leo add courage to your expression
🌾 Let Virgo bring devotion to your plans
