When I was a child my chubby little buddy, all stuffed with fluff, Winnie the Pooh instilled me with something very important. He taught me the philosophy that home is where your honey is. You know, that little nook somewhere in the 100 acre woods that makes you more comfortable than anywhere else. For most people it’s tucked away in the seclusion of their own home. Others, especially those Sagittarius traits, must get out and about in order to experience their inner peace. Whatever your preference, this lunation is a time to look within yourself and deal with things directly affecting your closest environment. That means people, possessions, or feelings. Imagine you’re a crab at low tide. When the water recedes they all hunker down and stay safe, anxiously anticipating the next flood. Work on your burrow over the coming few days and you’ll have a more desirable living space when you need one again. I suggest simply cleaning up your food scraps and dirty laundry. Start with basic chores then work your way up. I’ll throw in cleaning your bathroom as well. Especially make sure to wipe off all the nastiness around your toilet. Did you check the house placement for this New Moon? If not, do so now. That’s the area of life you’ll feel the most content with. That’s where you’re going to want to naturally retreat when things get tough. Or, it’s where trauma and drama from the past forces its way onto the table. This is because every New Moon is a time to focus on your inward self both physically and spiritually. If demons are haunting you it’s because you haven’t dealt with them properly yet.  

 Inner reflection is the key theme for every New Moon. This particular alignment is intended for developing how you take care of yourself through your immediate environment. Step one of this process is identifying what you need on an emotional level in order to succeed on a material level. Like organizing your toolbox or decorating your office. The more comfortable you feel in your surroundings the more you’ll be able to accomplish in your projects. Another important thing to analyze is what you’re consuming and how it’s influencing your body. Eating and drinking like garbage equals looking and feeling like garbage. Remember, what you consume isn’t limited to what goes in your mouth. Everything absorbed through your eyes, ears, and nose will also affect how you’re functioning. These are all things people often overlook about their health. Go huff some paint for twenty minutes and you’ll understand better when you’re done. Drugs and alcohol are definitely in this realm as well. If you need cosmic inspiration to sober up, then this is it. Exercise, or lack thereof, is next on your personal analysis list. Even if you simply work up a sweat by going through old boxes it’s important to raise your heartbeat and the blood pumping through your veins. Relive long lost memories and finally weed away old junk at the same time. Cancer is known as the sign of the nurturing mother and loves nostalgia. The Moon rules this domain and her energies are quite profound here. Aroused psychic receptors enhance your sensitivity allowing you to pick up on the nonverbal cues others give off. You can tell deep down something is wrong with someone no matter how many times they tell you they’re fine. Momma bear instincts might make you seem oppressive or protective, but there’s nothing but the best intentions in mind. Just make sure there aren’t any accidental injuries through incidental contact. Sometimes you won’t realize the size or strength of your claws and cause unintended wounds.
