Just need to say – Cancer Season was fucking rough last year and likely will be again, so hold on babez. Coming up: first moon phase of the season with the waxing moon in Libra.
I have moon, Venus, and Mars all in Cancer. This archetype is deeply familiar to me. There’s something indescribably magical about this journey through the tides, though it doesn’t feel that way at first; in the beginning there is deep pain…then beauty.
Cancer Season always feels like getting ripped open. The crab strikes the heart and gut with sweet, ferocious intensity. But the good news is – and I promise – that she really does bring relief and resolution. It’s time to let go, give in, or otherwise accept the reality of something less than fabulous. This is what Cancer asks us to do each year, to really dig in fearlessly and face whatever we find there.
Watery Cancer represents home and family. Cancer is ruled by the moon. Lunar energy is felt and interpreted by everyone differently. I feel it right in my heart. I feel it in the way my emotions pull me in mysterious directions, like the tide, ebbing and flowing endlessly.
So we’re taking a deep long look at home, roots, and family. What do you see? I keep discovering that I’m really just looking for myself. I’m digging to find Lauren, to be closer to her.
And so: Libra, goddess of wind, creates healthy space. It is time to center and align from a healthy distance. This happens in the heart, where Cancer and Libra stir our emotional anatomy. Libra is the sign of the scales, representing equality, balance, and true love. It is Libra who transforms us from isolated individuals into peaceful allies. Moon phases in Libra speak to our relationships. This usually, but not always, means intimate partnerships. If you’re single, this moon phase is about close friends, classmates, or co-workers.
It is true that Libra strives for peace. In order to get there, however, there may be some tough conversations or revealing moments. What I’m trying to say is that Libra is not always peaceful. Libra is the gritty aspects of social relationships, too. The awkward moments. Personality clashes. Indirect or passive aggressive communication. Emotional control, or lack thereof.
Envision zen vibes and balance – real balance, harmony. We are adults living our own adult lives. We get to choose, we get to decide, we get to free ourselves. It’s time to feel good, cute, wonderful. It’s time to take care of ourselves, do it the right way, the real way. Release, release, release, let it go. Butterflies and cosmic violets coming your way.
Heads up: this moon phase coincides with a sharp square between Mars in Leo and Uranus in Taurus (+ 1st day of Mercury in Cancer). Unexpected vibes. Pressure on the body, ego, & emotions; fire and electricity; miscommunication; erratic and scattered yet undeniably energizing.
In meditation, focus on the heart chakra. Lift your heart with Libra Yoga. To find your personal moon sign, click here.
