Tuesday’s New Moon in Cancer offers gentle support for renewal and can help you connect with inner wisdom to guide you forward.
Mercury retrograde is close to the New Moon in Cancer, suggesting that this New Moon could help you reset your perspective or remind you of unfinished business that needs your attention.
In the hours before the New Moon, the Moon will join Mercury retrograde, which will help you remember something you had forgotten. This could spark your curiosity about something from your past or a neglected interest or skill.
After the New Moon, when the Moon is visible again a little less than a day later, it is in the arms of Jupiter in Leo, for its first meeting in Leo. (The Moon and Jupiter will now meet monthly in Leo until July 2027.)
The Moon undergoes a great change in 24 hours: from the intensity of its rites of purification and renewal in the shadows when it joins the Sun in Cancer, to an exuberant and expressive return to the light fully supported by Jupiter.
You could also cover a lot of ground, especially when it comes to your mood and way of thinking.
In Cancer and hidden by the Sun, the Moon is naturally reserved and feels most comfortable in familiar places. Once reborn into the light, in Leo and associated with Jupiter, the Moon is confident, enthusiastic and eager to expand.
Under this New Moon in Cancer, time spent in simple acts of care and affection can support your pursuit of an exciting vision or adventure.
Sometimes a slow, calm start is exactly what is needed before a busy period of progress and advancement. Rest so you are ready to get up.
What is your favorite parenting act? What great vision guides you these days?
