Cancer Moon Meaning
General Meaning
The only sign ruled by the moon, the moon in Cancer prompts exploration of our emotional and intuitive landscape. Old wounds, psychic abilities, the home, familial matters, personal growth and goals, empathy, and nurturing all fall under the thematic domain of the Cancer moon.
The energy encourages self-reflection and inner exploration for personal growth. Reflect on personal goals that feed and bring joy to your soul, but are also in balance with your needs. Like the strong outer shell of the crab, the moon in this sign is also a good time to look towards matters of the home: the past, nurturing and familial relationships, and your literal home environment, as a space that protects, sustains, and allows you to retreat, restore, and grow. Use the Cancer moon astrology to redecorate your space to better suit your self care needs, engage in a luscious healing bath, or spend sometime focusing on your goals for personal development.
You can learn more about the magic of Cancer in my book The Modern Witchcraft Book of Astrology, and Cancer moon drinks and ingredients in Moon, Magic, Mixology.
What to look for in a Cancer Moon Drink
As the sign of the home, what better way to tune into the moon than kitchen witchery? Here are some things to take into mind when considering a Cancer moon cocktail or mocktail:
- From a thematic perspective, you might consider drinks that are nurturing. This may be recipes related to your childhood, or ones that utilize your favorite soothing ingredients.
- A very intuitive sign, drinks that inspire spirituality, reflection, and intuition are great considerations. You may want a relaxing sip to enjoy while you meditate with the moon, or as you journey within and reflect on your personal goals and needs.
- Consider drinks for connection—a warming, delicious beverage to share over a chat with someone close, to nurture that relationship. Or, perhaps a drink to enjoy while redecorating your home or space to be more nurturing!
