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

Jenny Heston · 4:14 pm ·

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!

Apparently, I’ve harvested a whole bushel of laven Apparently, I’ve harvested a whole bushel of lavender—and the bees would like to speak to management. 🐝😤

After some tense garden negotiations, I assured them I wasn’t taking it all. Now let the lavender-induced faery shenanigans begin: wands, baskets, bath bags, sachets, oils, salts, sugars, jelly and all manner of fragrant magick! 💜🌿

The bees still have plenty.

They also appear to have unionized.

🌙✨ Plot twist... The Cancer New Moon isn’t asking 🌙✨ Plot twist...

The Cancer New Moon isn’t asking you to become a shinier, better, more productive version of yourself.

She’s asking you to remember who you were before you became so ridiculously good at accommodating everyone else.

This week, the lesson found me in the glitter and glorious heart of Kinky Boots, in the rainbow magic of Pride, on a football pitch where fierce competition and deep compassion stood side by side... and finally beneath a moon that quietly whispered,

“Come home.”

Home to your heart.

Home to your intuition.

Home to the wildly beautiful, slightly witchy, gloriously imperfect soul you’ve been all along.

I’ve woven it all together in this week’s New Moon post, along with a deliciously simple ritual to help you release what no longer fits and remember the shape of your truest self.

🌿 Grab a cuppa.
🕯️ Light a candle.
🌙 Then click the link in my bio and come home.

Because, delicious lovely... the world doesn’t need another watered-down version of you.

It needs YOU. 💙

They burned herbalists as witches for three centur They burned herbalists as witches for three centuries and called it heresy. They called it medicine without a license before licenses existed, devil worship. The Malleus Maleficarum specifically targeted women who healed because it worked without the church.

The institutions that lit the pyres built pharmaceutical companies. Aspirin is willow bark, morphine is poppy, digoxin is foxglove, Taxol is Pacific yew, and Metformin is French lilac.

She was killed for giving it to you for free while he was awarded a patent for putting it in a capsule.

The word “pharmacy” comes from the Greek pharmakeia and it means sorcery.

Receipts: Malleus Maleficarum (1487). Aspirin derived from Salix alba (willow bark), Bayer 1899. Digoxin from Digitalis purpurea, first described by William Withering 1785. Taxol from Taxus brevifolia, NCI 1967. Metformin from Galega officinalis. Pharmakeia: Strong’s Greek 5331.

Because at some point in midlife something shifts. Because at some point in midlife something shifts. And it’s not that we become mean or difficult or hard to be around.

It’s that we spent decades shrinking ourselves to fit into spaces that were never designed for us.
Softening our words so nobody felt uncomfortable. Swallowing our opinions to keep the peace. Apologizing for taking up space. Managing everyone else’s feelings while completely abandoning our own.

And then perimenopause shows up and strips away every single fuck we had left to give. 😤

And suddenly we can see it so clearly.
How much energy we wasted.
How much of ourselves we gave away.
How long we managed everyone else’s comfort at the expense of our own sanity.
That’s not meanness babe. That’s awakening.

Midlife isn’t turning us into difficult women.
It’s turning us into honest ones.
Women who finally value their own peace enough to stop performing comfort for people who never once worried about ours.

And I will never apologize for that.
Not even a little bit. 😇

If you have officially entered your “not my problem anymore” era drop a 🙋‍♀️ below because we are exactly where we are supposed to be. 💛
⚽🌕 Plot twist... Football and the Full Moon have m ⚽🌕 Plot twist... Football and the Full Moon have more in common than you think.

They’re both about momentum.

They’re both about passion.

And sometimes... they’re both about that one magical moment that changes everything.

As June blows the final whistle, the Full Moon is asking a simple question...

What are you ready to change?

Not because you’re broken.

Not because you’ve failed.

But because you’ve grown.

I’ve pulled three cards for this final reading of June, and one of them is quietly calling your name. 👀✨

Will it be the message you need to hear before stepping into July?

There’s only one way to find out...

🌕 Pick your card.
⚽ Trust your intuition.
✨ Let Spirit surprise you.

And when you’ve watched... come back and tell me which card chose you. I absolutely love hearing your stories.

Every culture that ever looked at the sky knew thi Every culture that ever looked at the sky knew this day mattered.

The Norse lit bonfires so large they could be seen from the next village. The Celts called it the Light of the Shore and believed the veil thinned in blazing light instead of darkness. The Slavs jumped over fires to seal their bonds. The Romans made June sacred for weddings.

🌞Litha is an old English word meaning gentle, navigable. The time when the sea was calm enough to sail.

Beneath all the names, all the traditions, all the fires one truth:

The sun is at its peak. Everything is fully illuminated. 

Even the parts of yourself you usually keep in shadow.

Remember: building community, your village, whatev Remember: building community, your village, whatever you want to call, takes work. It takes vulnerability in putting yourself out there and also receiving. Building intergenerational community takes time, effort, and consistency. Don’t get discouraged get intentional.

Thank you @debrabochinski for embodying this. ♥️

🔥🌞 Oi, gorgeous soul... your Inner Fire called. I 🔥🌞 Oi, gorgeous soul... your Inner Fire called.

It would like a word.

Summer Solstice is almost here and the Sun is strutting around at full power, reminding you that you weren’t born to play small, dim your light or tuck your dreams away in a dusty cupboard marked “maybe one day.”

This is your invitation to celebrate how far you’ve come, reconnect with what truly matters and ask yourself:

✨ What wants to grow?
✨ What wants to be illuminated?
✨ What am I ready to say YES to?

To help you work with this powerful Solstice energy, I’ve released my gloriously magical 40+ page Summer Solstice Guide (affectionately known as SASS because every witchy soul needs a little more SASS).

And after a lovely natter with my guides, I’ve also opened two special readings:

🔥 Your Solstice Light
🔥 The Fire Within

Just 21 reading spaces are available and, lovely one, these will be the last special readings I’ll be offering for a while as the weekly readings take a pause and I step into some deeper magic behind the scenes.

The portal is open.

The Sun is blazing.

The Faeries are probably causing trouble.

All that’s missing is you.
