The New Moon in Cancer always takes place during Cancer season. With the Sun and Moon in the same sign, it’s an especially concentrated expression of nurturing Cancer energy, so it might also be a bit emotional!

The Zodiac sign of Cancer is ruled by the Moon, so the New Moon in Cancer may be one of the more powerful New Moons of the year. As the Moon visibly waxes and wanes every 2.5 days, Cancer is also associated with moods that can fluctuate. 

Letting feelings flow freely is essential!

Cancer is a water sign, and its symbol is the crab. Much like crabs can retreat inside their shells when they feel threatened, Cancer balances sensitivity with the protection of that sensitivity. Cancer energy is very domestic and concerned with creating a cozy home environment.

Cancer energy is also associated with mothering, nurturing, and nourishment. Even if you don’t have children of your own, the New Moon in Cancer is a great opportunity to look at how you nurture yourself and the people you love.

Any New Moon is an ideal time to set an intention. If you don’t already have a personal goal in mind, look at these common manifestations of the New Moon in Cancer to get some ideas.

Get ready to enjoy:

Good food. Cancer is the sign of nourishment, so a New Moon in Cancer is an excellent time to take pleasure in eating. Making or buying your favorite comfort food could be especially rewarding.

Getting cozy. A New Moon in Cancer doesn’t have a raucous party vibe. It’s probably better spent having a cozy night in at home, perhaps with family. If you do want to go out, consider going to a quieter concert or spending time in nature.

Watch out for:

Big feelings. Emotions could be intense at a Cancer New Moon. You may hear or say some things that truly need to be aired. This energy is not necessarily focused on finding a solution quickly, though. Get all the feelings out now, and make a plan later.

Water in the wrong place. Sometimes astrology is surprisingly physical. Every month, the high tides of the oceans take place at the New Moon and the Full Moon. The power of a New Moon in water sign Cancer might be especially likely to result in disturbances involving actual water. If something like a burst pipe or plumbing clog happens near you, consider looking at it symbolically: perhaps you’re not consciously aware of anything wrong in your emotional world, but problems with physical water can potentially represent emotional turmoil that needs to be addressed.

Overbearing tendencies. Cancer energy can be expressed by nurturing others physically or emotionally. At a New Moon in Cancer, this has the potential to go too far. Sometimes people prefer to do things for themselves, and it’s necessary to respect that no matter how good your intentions are.

Set an intention to manifest:

Nurturing yourself. The New Moon in Cancer is a great opportunity to renew your commitment to self-care. If there’s something major that you need and don’t often get, like sleep or exercise, plan to fix that. The plan itself shouldn’t make you feel like you’re being punished, though — the point is to be kind to yourself!

Connecting to your inner child. You may feel compelled to talk to family members, be more playful and do things that child you would love.  If you notice this feeling, don't hold back it's time to drop the guard!
