New Moon in Cancer

This card holds Divine Feminine energy and drawing it strongly suggests that Goddess energy is on your side. Relax — you and your loved ones are being looked after. Whatever your heart holds dearest is safe and well. This may not be the time to charge at what you want to think about whether you can approach it from another angle. If someone in your life needs you, nurture them. Nurture and be gentle with yourself too. Your diet may need improving for your own well-being.

This card is a good omen for family issues, house moves, sales and/or purchases, or someone or something that needs protection.

Spend time with people you love and who love you. Develop a thicker skin. Cherish what you have and you'll have more to cherish.

• Call in Archangel Gabriel, who can help you to nurture your own inner child. • Draw down the energy of the Moon and call in the Goddess Selene. • Find photos of you with family or the people you love, and place them on your altar if you have one. Light a candle (a silver one would be perfect) and bless your family and friends.

'When I nurture myself, life nurtures me back.'

The best time to work your magic is when the Moon is in Cancer, on a Monday (the Moon's day) or during Cancer's hour.

The New Moon in Cancer takes place when the Sun and the Moon are on the same degree in Cancer and knows that good nurturing breeds better manifesting.
