This week marks an important shift in the energy of the cosmos. We begin a fresh cycle with the New Moon of Cancer, which will be strongest from June 26th to July 2nd. It's a time to start anew from the heart, with more emotional connection, intuition, and self-care.
The Sun enters Cancer on June 22nd, ushering in a season dominated by the water element. In astrology, water represents emotions, intuition, family ties, and our internal world. This week, we have four planets in Cancer, meaning our emotions will run high. We might feel a greater need to be at home, seek security, or take care of others and ourselves.
The New Moon of Cancer, which arrives right in the middle of the week, is a good time to set intentions related to the home, family, emotional nourishment, and forgiveness. It's like an emotional reset. Take advantage of this portal to reconnect with yourself, your roots, and whatever truly makes you feel protected and loved.
In addition to water, we have a strong presence of the earth element thanks to Venus and Uranus in Taurus and Mars in Virgo. This helps us stay grounded and act practically, despite so much emotional turbulence. It is a good time to organize your space, take care of your body, and make decisions calmly and logically.
On the other hand, the element of fire with Saturn and Neptune in Aries brings out inner strength but also some tension. Fire drives us to act and take risks, but it can clash with so much water, creating frustration or fatigue if we don't channel that energy well. Find balance by moving your body, but don't overexert yourself.
Pluto in Aquarius represents air, which keeps pushing us to change our ideas and let go of old ways of thinking that no longer serve us. Although this change is slower, it is significant and strengthens the waning Moon period before the Full Moon, inviting us to change, transform, and be born anew.
Finally, this week we celebrate Rosh Chodesh on June 25th and 26th, the beginning of the new month in the kabbalistic calendar. It coincides with the New Moon, making it an especially powerful time to close cycles and open our hearts to new possibilities.
In short, this week is an invitation to feel our emotions, let go, and show care. The energy of water calls for gentleness. It is time to look inward, embrace our emotions, and build from there. Allow yourself to grieve, rest, be grateful, and start fresh.
