(Cancer the crab has gone back into the rocks and hidden away, therefore the Cancer new moon is not available right now.)

It's an emotional time for The Luna Tuna today, and why wouldn't it be with the new moon in Cancer, trine Chiron in Pisces. The fluids are in charge today and letting us know that we are sensitive, fragile creatures, all of us defying enormous odds just to be here, all of us knowing that we're in this big soup together, 'til death do us part.
It's a time for reflection, a time to look back and ponder the many cycles we've seen pass in order to get to where we are. Two weeks ago we pondered the longer journey of life, and now we sit with the ever-changing tides from moment to moment. A chance to look at our state of mind, body, soul and be gentle with ourselves. Ask yourself this question: is there a way I could nurture myself better in life, moment to moment? Have I mastered the art of being my own caregiver?
Since humans decided to stand up on 2 feet many moons ago we've had a unique situation amongst the other mammals we share the planet with. By standing up our brains got bigger and the birth canal got smaller, which caused one very serious consequence for us all: we're all born preposterously premature. Without a great deal of help from our mother, and subsequently the rest of our family/clan, we are doomed.
What does it all mean? It means that we all know in our blood what it is to be needy. We have all experienced it first hand and we take that with us through life. With the experience of being nurtured, however, also comes the instinct to nurture, and that's where Cancer's great gift lies, so long as the crab-claws of protection can be relaxed to allow people into its world. We're talking here about love, support and care for people around us.
Deeper still, we're talking about love, support and care for ourselves. Giving yourself what you need to not just survive but thrive in this world: whether that is eating better foods, taking in less of the poisons of life, or just thinking kinder thoughts towards yourself. So there's the goal for this month and something to ponder for this new moon.
It's also an emotional time because this is the final instalment of the 12 moon mixes that make up the full zodiac. It started with Leo 6 months ago, and now we've taken the full tour of the stars. It's been one incredible ride and I thank you for coming along for the journey. I would recommend following the cycles of the moon to anyone who had the inkling to do so: it's a chance to wander through the collective psyche and there's no telling what you might find on that voyage.
I'll still be making mixes just for the fun(k) of it, so stay tuna'd in moons to come.
Oh, and a special mention to the New Horizon space craft making it all the way to Pluto 2 days ago. It doesn't have much to do with the Cancer New Moon, but I just think it's amazing that we have sent something into space as far as Pluto. And props to Pluto for proving itself to be the biggest and baddest of the Dwarf Planets. I think he deserves an upgrade to planet again, but even if that doesn't happen, to say he's any less of a planet than the rest is to say that Tyrion Lannister is less man than Joffrey... it's just not true.
Enjoy and Share
