The Cancer new moon marks a time of new beginnings for home and family. Early childhood issues can be put to rest as you embark on a new path that can lead to fulfillment of dreams you may have felt unlikely to come to pass.

Two celestial forces contribute to this being an especially auspicious new beginning as the Cancer new moon connects in positive alignment with both Neptune (the planet of dreams) and the Dog Star, a first degree magnitude star and the brightest star in the heavens. It’s time to wish upon a star for matters near and dear to your heart.

Cancer New Moon Meditation

Perform your Meditation anytime starting from the time of the New Moon on July 9th at 6:16pm PT up until the First Quarter Waxing Moon in Libra on July 17th at 3:11am PT.

What you will need:

• A white candle
• Essential oil or blend - use one of the recommended oil, or blend of oils

Make sure you are in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed.

Light your white candle. Dispense your oil onto a cotton ball, or smell strip and inhale the scent. You can also scent your space prior to your meditation using an aroma diffuser.

Gaze into the candle flame as you begin to breathe in fully and deeply and exhale any tension. The candle flame reflects your own Divine heart center.

Continue inhaling the scent of your oil and releasing any tension for 1-5 minutes.

At this time, if you choose, you can invite Archangel Raguel to assist you with your meditation. Raguel’s name means “Friend of God.”  Raguel ensures that everything is working together harmoniously and in accordance with Divine Will. Referred to as the ‘relationship angel,’ Raguel can assist you to create harmony in relationships, as well as help you resolve conflicts with others.

The Cancer New Moon is within orb of conjunction to Sirius (the Dog Star). A first magnitude star and the brightest star in the night sky, Sirius is a wealth star and the primary star of our Milky Way Galaxy. The Cancer new moon’s contact with Sirius elevates the emotions and omens auspicious new beginnings.
