Shelter From the Storm
The Cancer New Moon occurs on July 5th, 2024, at 6:57 PM EDT. The lunation occurs midway through the Moon’s native sign and generates powerful emotional currents that initiate a new cycle of self-understanding. This cycle asks us to question our values and priorities, challenging our ideas and opinions set in stone. This lunation empowers our individuality and authenticity, potentially realigning our relationships with ourselves and others.
As the recent and distant past converge, they bring to light realities we can no longer ignore. This convergence will prompt us to recognize the need for enlightened self-care in dramatic ways that offer no opportunity for compromise. Be vigilant for erratic actions by others and be prepared to find mental, emotional, and perhaps physical refuge to avoid the turmoil. This is a time when self-care is not just a luxury but a necessity, a comforting anchor in the storm.
The antidote to the upheaval is to seek shelter from the storm in the people, places, activities, and visions that comfort you. The earth beneath our feet, physically and spiritually, is changing. So are we. Visualize a vessel of clear white light that radiates, surrounds, and protects you. Dream where you want the future to take us. Visualize your part in the journey.
“Each of us has a spark of life inside us, and our highest endeavor ought to be to set off that spark in one another.”
—Kenny Ausubel “Dreaming the Future: Reimagining Civilization in the Age of Nature”
