Unlocking the Cancer New Moon!

Yesterday’s New Moon in Cancer was…interesting. I woke up early, ready to embrace the new energies of the day, had a lovely full client schedule, went to let my doggie Sophie outside--and my front door would not open! Completely stuck. The doorknob was jammed, locked up, unmovable!

Immediately I thought of the connection—Cancer rules the home, and my doorway/entrance to my home was blocked! What did that mean? Am I stuck?

So throughout the day, I ushered clients in through my backdoor—feeling rather strange about it all. Was I taking a backdoor to life?

Luckily my handyman neighbor (a gem) was able to come and unstick my door. And I have a NEW doorknob coming. Perhaps a new beginning after all!

But this felt more than new moon energy. Something else was going on. So when I looked deeper into the astro, I realized that the new moon in Cancer formed a direct square (representing challenges) to Uranus in Aries. Uranus is the planet of unexpected changes, breakthroughs, and can be disruptive, accident prone, especially in Aries.

So, if your New Moon energies came in unexpected ways, blame it on Uranus! (And remember, we usually experience lunar energies a few days before and after.) Today the Moon goes into Leo, which should bring a more Sunny energy to our mist, a whole different vibe than the sometimes moody, crabby Crab!

This pic is the view from my front door, sans doorknob…I’m looking forward to my new doorknob, a new beginning to my space, and am ready to turn the key to a new view. #TotallyWorkingTheMetaphor!
