Two Tarot Spreads for the New Moon in Cancer

Cancer has dominion over our early years, the home, mothering, nurturing, intuition, and our emotions. It is an energy that likes to keep itself to itself. Unfortunately, the shadow of Cancer can sometimes come out in passive-aggressive ways when dealing with conflict. This is due to innate conflict avoidance tendencies.

The corresponding Major Arcana Tarot card is The Chariot and the corresponding Minors are 2-4 of Cups and the Queen of Cups.

New Moon Ritual Tips

Any form of ritual or celebration of the New Moon in Cancer should take place near a body of water and/or have the Water Element in focus.

For minimalists just sitting by a river and watching the sunset in the West (direction of Element of Water) may be enough.

Those of you working with Angelic energy for the esbats will want to invoke the assistance of Archangel Gabriel, ruler of The Moon/Cancer for any of your spells.

Altars are highly personal and it is more important than what you place on there resonates with you and your beliefs but appropriate items during a Cancer New Moon are seashells, jasmine, white roses, and white lilies, pearls, white candles, and Goddess images or statues.

Cancer carries the energy of the Divine Feminine very strongly, so this New Moon is an excellent time for any self-dedication ceremony you may wish to perform to step onto a Path of service to Her.

It would also be appropriate to detox between now (Litha) and the New Moon – especially if you are considering a self-dedication ceremony.
