Cancer New Moon

Written By Damascena Tanis

New Moon in Cancer, and The Nodes Shift into the Aries Libra Axis.

Cancer is the seed and source of Life. Known to the ancients as the “Gate of Man”. The point of our earthly incarnation. Through this lens, It’s association with mothers cooking in the kitchen takes on a more mystical tone.

This sign is the natural fourth house, meaning it is associated with Midnight in the chart.

That magical shift from the death of one day, to the birth of the next.

It’s also the “root” point of the world tree, or Cardinal cross.

With these additional data points, my domestic associations shift from hearth and home to something more mysterious.

What can we (g)know about Cancer if we meditate on Midnight, Darkness, and the Fertile Soil that nourishes the the Root? And have you ever noticed how closely the word Soil and Soul really are? What can we learn from the two?

“The Gate of Man”? The point of incarnation? The cosmic womb of the Universe.? Ahh the warm, slow, Yin of Cancer, Temple of the Moon?

CANCER ♋️ MODERN DAY ASSOCIATIONS

Cancer is related to the Goddess, The Great Mother archetype. Mothers and children, and the realm of domesticity.

As a water sign, she rules the emotional body and is deeply related to our sense of safety.

Because the New Moon opposes Pluto, and he rules existential fears, we may be called to work with a disruption in these Cancerian themes…. Our attachment styles, what homeostasis feels like for us, especially environmental homeostasis. The way “sanctuary” feels. And that ever so coveted idea of “Nervous System Safety”.

Mother wounds may arise during this cycle, or anything that feels “close to home”. We may be faced with finally needing to address the outcropping of insecure attachments….

The nodal axis is squaring the New Moon raising the stakes for all that is stirring for us.

Damascena Tanis

Damascena is an Archetypal Astrologer, Ayurvedic Wellness Practitioner, and The Facilitator of the Transformative Journey through the Mandala of Venus’ Wisdom, called “Sky Dancer”.

She is a passionate devotee of the ever unfolding mystery. As an expert observer, a trait she developed as an only child, she regards herself as both a student of life, and decoder of the cosmos.

Skilled at recognizing invisible patterns, and picking up on subtle shifts in the collective, she gets a thrill from uncovering and revealing the hidden threads that are woven together to create our paradigm.

Her passion for this existential detective work aligns well with her unique approach to one on one client work, as she helps others to discover the building blocks of their archetypal blueprint, and mythic overtones. She does not believe that astrology is static, and therefore works with clients to develop strategies and practices that allow them to transcend challenging aspects of their natal chart.

She lives on the Shores of Lake Erie with her husband, four kids, and Cat, Oscar (the grouch).

These days, when she isn’t interpreting a natal chart, or translating the stars for her astrology blog, you can find her engaging in one of her favorite pandemic pastimes, unraveling her inner “good girl”, cultivating the ability to thrive in the deep, dark, unknown, or playing her favorite game of identifying fun paradoxes called “two things are true at once”.
