Cancer New Moon – What do You Want and How Do You Nourish Yourself?

Happy Moodling, Magickal, Moist, Musing, Manifesting, Marvellous Monday!

It is so ridiculously hot here again, and I’m not a huge fan at all! It makes me feel like a crabby, wilting wallflower! And when I hear people say “climate change is not a thing”, I just want to bop them on the nose!

Anyhow, we have lots to cover, so grab a cool beverage honey, find a shady spot and let’s go explore how this Cancer New Moon ties in with the energy shift of July, and what on earth that means for you!

First let’s talk about the July energy shift.  

The theme for July is: “What do YOU want, and can you HAVE it?”. (Have you asked yourself those questions?)

As Lena shares:  “There are big energetic changes this month supporting the need to engage your will, good boundaries and positive action steps leading you closer to your essence goals. This may require more letting go of old invalid programs of cultural imprint as well as the courage to step forward into a new landscape.

The question of “what do YOU want” should be a daily exercise of contemplation and truth telling. 

Stay out of reaction and judgement especially if your choices are taking you away from a situation you feel you have been putting up with for a long time. Do not blame or feel victimised but rather experience gratitude for the clarity and freedom you have to move forward.”

So hold that question in your mind okay?

Now let’s look at this New Moon.

Cancer is ruled by the Moon and brings the qualities of nourishing oneself and others, the Divine Mother (maternal) energy, comfort and self care.  The turning inwards to find answers and to care for oneself.  

Yet, so often this energy gets directed to others and not oneself.  

Ask yourself: Do you feel stable and secure in yourself?  Are  you able to comfort and soothe yourself back to a state of balance? 

As let’s be honest, after 3 years of a pandemic I am witnessing a lot of nervous systems that are on hyper vigilance, with anxiety, stress as the side dish.

So with this Cancer New Moon when you make any intentions I highly encourage you to  see if you can craft your intentions and ideas from a place of inner trust.

“This requires us to go within, to sit with ourselves, and to direct the vision of our lives from a place of inner knowing and intuition. The answers may not come to us right away, but practising patience is part of this process.

Creating intentions from a place of inner knowing is about flowing with the process and knowing that the right inspiration and answers will come when they are ready. This process requires surrender and a lot of faith, but ease tends to follow when we give over to it.”

Now do you see how the July energy of What do You Want, and this deep, rich inward energy of the Cancer New Moon fold in together?  

Play with it over the next few days, take some time to get clear about what you want.  Not from a “thinking” place, but the well spring of your soul and emotions.  Yes?

Make your intentions from there!

Okay, I have chuntered, lol (when don’t I?)

Let’s crack on with the reading.  

Now if these guides are new to you, let me introduce them!

At the edge of the mind awaits the holy wilderness of the soul.  It beckons you, like a great forest filled with vast mysteries and wonders.  While this mystical realm exists in a higher dimension, beyond normal reality, it is real nevertheless.  To enter this mystical realm, it’s simply a matter of having an open heart and an open mind.  

In this healing and holy place, long-sought answers to your deepest questions become known.  Ancient wisdom emerges.  Revelations about your future are revealed.  Hidden talents and abilities are activated with you.  It’s a place where miracles unfold, and your spirit can fly.  In the deepest sense you remember who you are.  

Take a moment to just chill the fuck out (pardon the language if that offends), and breathe.  Give yourself a moment or two to play with the ideas of “What Do You Want?” and “What are the Intentions from my Soul?”

Allow those to swirl, meld and create a glorious collage and from that place – pick the card or cards that tug at you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

FROG SPIRIT

Renewal

Darling one, it’s never too late to begin again.

If your past was less than successful, remember this – what has occurred does not need to mandate what will occur.  You can start out fresh and new.

However, if you do what you have always done, you will get what you’ve always gotten.

In order to reboot your life, you need to do things in a different way.  

The frog’s three stages of development (egg, tadpole, fully formed amphibian) symbolise renewal, resurrection, and transformation.  

Allow Frog Spirit to flow through you and be willing to release any preconceived notions of how life should unfold.

This is a time to be adaptable.  Be willing to change, and allow the abundance and good fortune that’s waiting for you to flow to you like the water that nourishes the glorious Frog!

FIRE SPIRIT

Energy

Darling one, take action!  

This is not the time to hold back in life!  Do not repress what you feel or allow yourself to be drained by others.  If you strive to meet everyone’s expectations and fulfil the needs of others, but forget to honour your own needs, your energy field becomes depleted and dull.

Break free of your constraints, whether self-inflicted or imposed on you by others.

Allow the summer sun to fill you and your radiant heart with verve and passion.  Give your emotions free rein.  Waves of energy will surge through you as you spontaneously express yourself.

However, running on your own resources can be depleting.  Allow the Creatrix to flow through you.  Be open to receiving, knowing that you don’t have to do it all yourself.  This replenishes your soul and supports you in accessing enormous amounts of energy.  

The power of Fire spirit is renowned.

One of the four primal elements, it traditionally represents transformation, passion, zeal, enthusiasm, creativity and activation.  Let the energy of fire inspire action and movement for you now.

Ignite your inner fire.  Speak your truth and let the light of the Creatrix surge through you.  

SECRET SPRING

Success

Sweetie, all things are possible!

The more you honour and celebrate the success that you already have, the more success pours into your life.  And the more you feel it, the more love, prosperity, fame and all the rest of it, you will have.

Act as if – and feel as if – you are wildly successful, and even more success will develop.  

Accept that you are already thriving – you are – and the more wonderment will emerge.

If a situation seems to knock you down, get up, and take a moment to explore what you learned….and then keep going.

In Celtic tradition, secret springs were magical.  

Allow success to flow into your life.  Allow the vitality and glowing renewal of  your body to occur.

Now is the time to take action in support of your dreams.

There is no need to struggle.

The Creatrix has your back!

Mmmmm Yes!  Glorious guides for this delicious energy!  Wishing you a stupendous week.   Stay cool, drink water, do things that soothe and nourish you, ask yourself “What do I want?”and remember – you are a glorious spark of the Divine or you wouldn’t be here!  Big hugs and squeezes!

A lantern. A woodland path. A little tug of curios A lantern. A woodland path. A little tug of curiosity. 🍂🕯️

Gorgeous Soul, will you come into the dark with us?

For eight Saturday mornings, we’ll gather for seasonal wisdom, ritual, dreams, tarot and honest conversation. We’ll meet the wild stories of the season and make space to hear our own.

There’s room for your tenderness, your questions and your deliciously imperfect self.

THE LIVING FOREST: INTO THE DARK
October 31–December 19
Saturdays · 9–11 a.m. Victoria time
Online via Zoom

Bring a cuppa. We begin at the threshold.

A wee message to patriarchy, with love from Scotla A wee message to patriarchy, with love from Scotland. 🖕😂

We’re done with power over people, power over women, power over the planet. We’re here for matriarchal ways rooted in care, respect, shared power and community. And we’re a wee bit tired of being told how to behave, how to look and how to be women in this world!! So here’s our sisterly response… with love, laughter and a little Scottish sass! 😉

A wee note: We’re a group of Canadian sisters and one beautiful U.S. sister exploring Scotland together. Some of us have Scottish roots, and all of us brought a little wyld spirit! ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Grateful? Yes. Available for absolutely everything Grateful? Yes.

The October 10 Libra New Moon meets Canadian Thanksgiving with an invitation to gather, release and unfurl.

Your needs belong in the balance too, Gorgeous Soul.

A fallen leaf, a bowl of water and one honest intention… your New Moon ritual is waiting. 🍂🌑

The trees are loosening their grip, Gorgeous Soul. The trees are loosening their grip, Gorgeous Soul. What are you ready to release? 🍂

Sitting in a glorious pile of leaves, I pulled October’s card: Unfurl the Wings of Forgiveness.

Accountability and compassion. The courage to own your part, the tenderness to forgive yourself, and boundaries that honour both.

There’s autumn magick in this invitation—and a little delicious mischief, too.

It’s easy to think of yourself as a good man. The It’s easy to think of yourself as a good man. The harder question is: who are you when it’s just you and the boys?

When the joke crosses the line.
When the group chat turns ugly.
When a woman is being degraded.
When you know something is wrong.

Do you speak up, even if it costs you your place in the group?

Because women cannot be in every room asking men to respect us.

Men have to demand it from each other.

So I’m asking men: when was the last time you called out another man?

Don’t just teach your sons not to hurt women. Teach them not to stand silently beside men who do.
Summer is letting go. 🍂 Can you feel it? The lig Summer is letting go. 🍂

Can you feel it?

The light has changed. The evenings are arriving earlier. Leaves are turning, birds are gathering and Nature is beginning that slow, delicious turn inward.

Then on September 26th comes the Harvest Full Moon. 🌕

And maybe she’s not asking:

What’s next?

Maybe she’s asking:

What is already ripe?

What has quietly grown in you this season?

What are you ready to gather?

And what might you finally be ready to let fall?

I’ve written a new Harvest Moon piece through my Seasonal Lens, with journal prompts and one of my favourite slightly ridiculous rituals.

It involves bubbles.

Of course it bloody does. 😂🫧

For one delicious moment, we stand at the threshold between seasons.

Before rushing into autumn, what if you stopped long enough to look back?

At the summer you actually lived.
At what surprised you.
What challenged you.
What delighted you.
What quietly grew while you were busy doing other things.

You don’t need a perfect harvest.

You only need to recognise what is already in your hands.

That’s the question sitting at the heart of Mabon: The Gathering.

Not what did you accomplish?

Not did summer go according to plan?

But what grew?

A boundary?
A truth?
Some courage?
A delicious bit of weirdness?
Maybe something you didn’t even realise was a harvest until now.

I created a 24-page Mabon journey filled with reflection, journalling, ritual, harvest magick and a five-card Tarot/Oracle spread.

Because before we charge into the next season…

perhaps we should notice who arrived here. 🍎

Today is exactly one week before my birthday, I to Today is exactly one week before my birthday, I took a leap and received a “channelled” tattoo.

Was I sceptical? Abso-frigging-lutely. I wouldn’t even see the design until two hours before my appointment.

Then the image arrived—and I fell completely in love.

An apple, lavender, chamomile, rosemary, hare’s-foot fern and glorious Amanita mushrooms, all woven together beneath the stars and the sweep of the Milky Way.

Every piece holds meaning. Together, they form a tiny wild universe—a botanical talisman of nature, healing, memory, resilience, cosmic wonder and a wee bit of Fae mischief.

And now it rests above my heart, exactly where it belongs.

@inkspired_.tattoo.studio , you are an extraordinary human. This was so much more than a tattoo—it was a soulful, intentional experience and the perfect birthday gift.

A little wild.
A little witchy.
A little cosmic.
A little Fae.
And entirely me. 🍎🌿🍄✨
