The new moon in Cancer that happened on June 28th was a beautiful symbol of manifestation, new beginnings and rebirth. For some reason, hands feel like an appropriate connection? I’ve been thinking about them a lot recently, which encouraged me to look a little more deeply at their meaning. I’ll start by speaking on the new moon in Cancer, and what that represents.

The summer solstice is marked by the sun moving into the sign of the divine feminine, Cancer. There’s something so sacred about that to me. The sun, this symbol of divine masculine on its longest day of the year, moves into the sign of its counterpart, Cancer, which is associated with the moon. It feels like a moment where the duality of the two cease to exist.
