this weekend I saw stars actual stars clear and bright above the lake scattered like messages across the sky i sat out on the dock in this stillness wrapped in this kind of awe that I have not felt in so so long it was like something cracked me wide open scattered me across the universe in the most healing and nurturing way it was like the warmest hug I've ever received and the energy this weekend was so potent and so electric and it started on the summer solstice on Thursday i went and received this most powerful most nurturing healing session from the most magical practitioner because you know even the healers need healing and I could feel the biggest shift happening within me there were the most magnetic electric storms that rolled through my little town here of Niswah and it was so quenching like the earth was exhaling with me i did a lot of reflecting i did a lot of listening and noticing and I was noticing the little synchronicities that were speaking to me i found this candle when I was out and about and I can't stop smelling it because it smells so good i have it on right now as I'm recording this it's of course it's called Stargazing and it's from this company out of Minneapolis they are called True Hue you should look them up um I'm literally obsessed with it but somehow it smells like everything that I felt this weekend wild calm full of mystery and now we are sitting under the energy of the new moon in Cancer and I have this intense feeling this sense of inner arrival and the universe is really whispering right now and I am leaning in and I am here for it welcome back to the Bell Astrology podcast i am your host and astrologer Ashley and this episode is devoted to the new moon in Cancer that is happening on June 25th at 5:31 a.m and we'll be sitting at four degrees of Cancer and this is a truly deeply soul nurturing new moon it feels intimate it feels raw it feels alive it's an invitation to come back into the body back to your emotional truth and back to the essence of what home means for you i am again recording this on the wake of a really power personal healing session and I really want to share with you what's rising in me because I know I'm not alone and there's something about this moon that is just so quenching for the soul this Cancer new moon is this reflection of the idea of home not just where we live but the home that lives within us that your home is your sacred body home is where I feel safe to be held home is intimacy with myself and others home is the space where I no longer have to hide my desires sometimes the healers need healing too and that healing session that I had really grounded me back into my body i remembered how powerful my own essence my own vessel is and how it's speaking with me constantly especially through my skin through my sensitivities my electric nervous system my Uranus rising essentially of Uranus on my rising that energy is always turned on whether I am conscious of it or not but right now it is supercharged and it's really asking for my attention and in this moment of really deep attunement I connected with myself in my body in this message of thank you for paying attention to me but the message didn't stop there because my sacral whispered to me something I didn't expect ashley you forgot about me you can't hide me away anymore and it really hit me that I have been scared of my own essence i'm a Scorpio son i've got Venus and Pluto in Scorpio intensity is my native language desire power intimacy obsession control she is me but my north node is in Taurus which means this lifetime I came here to learn how to attract not to chase to really ground in my power not force it not push it to really receive and not force and I've noticed lately that I have been attracting a lot of Taurus energy around me in others really reflecting back to me my own path of growth and of course that's no accident because the universe mirrors what we are being asked to evolve through and this Cancer new moon well Cancer season in general falls in my seventh house of relationships and with Jupiter there in Cancer now magnifying these themes of home and connection and emotional nourishment I am deeply aware of the shifts that are happening within me but I want you to really sit and think about the shifts that are asking to be made within you too this is a calling for us to come home and to make room so I have felt this connection to my body recently more recently I always have it but there is this screaming for spaciousness to release the old the toxic what's been outgrown because I'm preparing for what's next i've been manifesting some really big things and it's a lot and cancer is the archetype that teaches us how to mother ourselves to listen and to hold to trust in our intuitive body wisdom and to make space for a life to unfold on soul's time and in a moment of vulnerability which I'm sharing with you today I crumbled today i surrendered i had a huge emotional release i mean honestly it was an ugly cry if I'm being completely honest it's the kind that cracks you wide open and it was so necessary so so necessary because the wave of truth is that I'm desiring so deeply right now and even though I don't have what I want quote unquote have what I want yet I know I actually do because I feel the space that it's already taking up in my life and that hurts and yet that is so holy because that's what's real so rather rather than suppressing it I'm really letting it move through and I've received so much clarity i know my manifestations are showing up i am seeing them on one hand it's scaring the hell out of me because it's happening and the frequency that I am being asked to tune into I'm working to align myself to it but I'm not there yet it's this uncomfortable in between space being in this void being in this gap space but I feel it and I know it and otherwise there wouldn't be this much room this desire this spaciousness this ache this ache is real because that's part of the arrival and so I'm reminded that I trust the timing i trust the process everything that I'm calling in is on its way or it's here better than I could have ever imagined and while I'm not ready to speak on certain dreams speak them out loud I am whispering to them all and I'll say this feel it i'm learning to be open and receive and to trust what's mine will arrive exactly on time and that is so much the message that is around this new moon this new starting point for all of us and let me tell you why what is happening with this new moon to make it so potent so powerful so this new moon every new moon the sun and the moon are conjunct but here we have Jupiter also conjunct this triple conjunction in cancer cancer is the sign of emotional safety and nourishment and home and wherever Jupiter is it magnifies and this triple conjunction is this invitation to expand our capacity to receive love and support and that feeling of belonging and to not be afraid of what we desire it's about dreaming bigger when it comes to what truly nourishes you emotionally spiritually energetically physically so what does abundance feel like for you where do you need to create more space to receive what you are manifesting this moon can feel extra tender i'm not going to lie but that tenderness is so sacred it's stretching your capacity to hold more of what you really want now there is a beautiful supportive aspect we have Mars in Virgo and Mars is a planet of drive and of action and Virgo is the sign that helps us focus and to get organized and to implement and so this is incredibly helpful energy under a new moon because while the moon is connecting us with our intuition and our emotions Mars gives us this fire this clarity to take aligned action towards it so you can use this energy under this new moon create a ritual that really helps you support your emotional well-being take some small sacred steps towards what you're calling in even the simplest things like decluttering can be so powerful if they're done with intention declutter your physical your energetic your emotional space to make room for something new this is a combination that says you can feel it and you can do something about it too now there is some tension with this new moon from Saturn and Neptune in Aries it's a square and squares create tension but they also push us to break through so Neptune may be blurring the lines between your dreams and reality causing some confusion some idealism and Saturn saturn is bringing a reality check boundaries responsibility commitment those are the themes so what does that mean for you it means that this moon is asking you to sort through what's real versus wishful thinking you may be shown where you have been fantasizing about something without grounding it or where you have been carrying some emotional responsibilities that aren't truly yours and so where do you need to establish some emotional boundaries are you building something that is lasting or are you chasing a fantasy this tension remember though isn't here to block you it's here to help you refine what you are manifesting what you are calling in with Cancer's watery depth and Aries fiery courage this is initiating energy it's this nudge to take some radical responsibility for how you care for your inner world now as we are in this new moon portal remember who you are beneath the layers of expectation think about what home really means for you right now i can imagine and I feel that with Jupiter's entrance into Cancer this idea of home is shifting for lots of people myself included i see a lot of people actually moving during this next year myself included so where do you or where does your body need more space need more care need more release are you holding on to a vision so tightly that you're blocking what naturally wants to arrive and are there emotions that you've been resisting can you actually sit with them acknowledge them let them crack you open have a good ugly cry instead of running and maybe most importantly what are you planting under this new moon that you will be harvesting in six months under the full moon in cancer in January let desire lead you home desire is sacred desire is the voice of our soul and your feelings are not distractions they are the doorway to your intuition and this Cancer new moon reminds us that true manifestation begins on the inside with safety the feeling the selfrust and so let your desires lead you home let your emotions be your compass and let your body be the oracle you are magic you are home i'm going to wrap this up here but I want to remind you that you can take this new moon and come home to yourself take gentle care of yourself you're not behind you're right on time and let this new moon bring you back to the truest essence of who you are and your desires from my heart to yours see you next time bye for now
