What Are The Phases Of The Moon?

What Is The Astrological Significance Of New Moons?

Astrologically speaking, each phase of the moon’s cycle arrives with a different force of energy that asks different things of us. When it comes to a new moon, the first phase of the moon cycle, it’s all about fresh starts and beginning anew. It’s about intention-setting and manifestation.

What Does June 2022’s New Moon In Cancer Mean?

A new moon occurs when the sun and the moon are sitting at the same exact degree in the same zodiac sign. On June 28th, 2022 at 10:52 PM ET, the sun meets the moon in Cancer at 7 degrees.

Because June 2022’s New Moon is in Cancer, this particular phase will be about everything Cancer-related. Think emotions, family, and the home. The new moon in Cancer will encourage you to look deep within and really determine what (and who) makes you feel safe. (Remember, Cancer is symbolized by the crab, so feeling secure is a driving force for this zodiac sign.)

Combined with the new moon, a symbol of new beginnings, there may be pulls for you to assess your emotional state, your familial relationships, and your home and figure out what needs to change. While this may feel overwhelming emotionally, especially because it’s Cancer season, remember that going somewhere new will always feel uncomfortable given you’ve never ventured there before. Be brave, enter new territory, and trust your journey.
