Hello my loveys! Here we are again on the brink of
a New Moon in Cancer. It occurs Friday, June 27th. I hope we have enjoyed the magic of the Summer Solstice,
and made some amazing plans for what we have grown, and what we treasure. Do
you feel alive? If you feel glum or not full prescent, step into the sunlight,
and soak up that life affirming energy. Let it nurture you. Be sure that the
Summer Solstice occurs the day that the Sun enters Cancer; its all associated
in a beautiful way.
I love New Moons, and the potential they offer us.
Full moons get a lot of hype (you know, the whole magical, lunacy thing it has
going on) but if you want more bang for your buck, find out when the New Moon
is and tap that energy. Every New Moon has a theme, a mood and a lesson.
Depending on which sign the New Moon is in, and where it falls in your chart,
and how it affects your rising and sun sign is key to knowing how to make the
New Moon Magicks work for you.
First? Lets get your tools.
What you need:
Pen/paper – write down what you hope to plant the
seed for during this New Moon
Candle – this depends from month to month depending
on which sign the New Moon falls in
Herbs/Oils- same applies for candles.
This New Moon falls in creative, watery Cancer. The
role of Cancer in astrology is the caretaker, the creatier of family, of
nourishment and of comfort. Cancer offers the primal intuitive energy, and
timeless connection to the Moon. After all, the Moon is the ruler of Cancer. Also,
Cancer is an initiator; you can liken Cancer energy to the waves of the ocean,
of the embryotic rush that pushes out of our Mother’s womb.
For this New Moon, I would advise choosing a white,
blue or silver candle. Since Cancer is a water sign, you want to use
colors that mirror the ocean, and the deep secrets of a moonlit night. For herbs,
use honeysuckle, sage, aloe, bay leaves, hyacinth, and primrose…all very
fragrant herbs and flowers. This is a potent new moon, so make the most of it.
Once you have your candle, hold it in your hand and
think about what you would like to plant the seeds for during this New Moon,
and what you would like to manifest. Get your herbs/oils, rub it on the candle.
If you don’t have any essential oils, use olive oil on the candle, and maybe
add a touch of honey to the mix, to add sweetness to the fire you are looking
to start in your heart and your life. I tend to use dried herbs on my
candles. I would make sure to get a shorter candle to burn, since it needs to
burn to its completion for it to truly be potent. If you are worried about
burning your house down, put the candle in your kitchen sink. That should keep
it safe enough.
That’s easy enough.
In general, for New Moons, I like to make sure to
get some cinnamon sticks to burn. They burn very slow, with little to no flame.
It’s more of a gesture. Cinnamon is great for drawing in love, passion,
protection and money. It’s a herb associated with fire, so it’s great to give a
boost to any project. Cinnamon is also associated with the fire of the Summer
Solstice, and with Cancer as well.
I like to make sure I put a little rose oil essence
and peppermint oil in my shower gel. Peppermint is great for protection and
prosperity, while rose oil is a must; after all how can you manifest anything
if your heart is not open? Rose oil will help you with that, as well as helping
you create with love, and attracting love into your efforts. The first few days
of a New Moon is especially potent, so use these days to shower with the magic
concoction.
Have fun manifesting.
