On Sunday, June 25, we will have a New Moon in the water sign of Cancer. Since Cancer is ruled by the Moon, lunar influences are strongest and most easily expressed now. This will be a time of intense emotions and great sensitivity, with people responding to life through emotions rather than reason. It could be a very psychic time and you may experience prophetic dreams and other psychic experiences. Although it is a good time to follow your intuition and trust your emotional instincts, during this very vulnerable period be cautious not to emotionally wound others or allow yourself to be wounded. The effects of this New Moon in Cancer will be felt most strongly by water signs Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio.

Generally, people will be passive, easy-going, sentimental, loving and nurturing. Cancer natives tend to be caregivers so think of this New Moon as a time to renew your commitment to take of yourself and others.

A New Moon is a time of new beginnings. Especially since Mercury goes retrograde on July 4, use this New Moon energy to launch any new endeavors so that they can be marinating while Mercury does his little schizoid maneuvering. Remember that helpful things sometimes have a way of returning to us while Mercury is retrograde, so keep this in mind when taking any New Moon-inspired actions.

Spell Work

The New Moon begins at 12:05 pm EDT. After that time it will move into its Waxing phase, which is the best time to perform all types of magick for healing, attracting good luck and increasing things such as money, love, etc.

This Moon has great energies for calling upon and working with the elementals of all types. This is a time when psychic energies flow readily, allowing those who almost never sense anything to experience unusual happenings. Since Cancer rules the breasts and the stomach, this would be a good time to do any healing magick for these areas of the body.

For any of you who plan to use the Dark of the Moon to perform any banishment spells or rituals, the Moon will be void of course from 8:02 pm Saturday evening until 4:48 am on Sunday. For those of you who don't like working during a void of course Moon, perhaps the best time for banishment spells would be between 4:48 am and 12:05 pm on Sunday - also take care to check your hours to find one that gives you the best planetary energy for the work you want to do.
