Lazy days of summer? Yes, please. A Cancer new moon invites us to get cozy and domestic. A feast is fitting for a Cancer new moon ritual.
A Cancer new moon ritual can help you awaken the forces of change.
Cancer New Moon Ritual: Annapurna’s Feast
Annapurna is the Hindu goddess of nourishment. She is said to have fed the whole world. You could invoke her spirit now. Maybe print images of her or find a small statue to place on your table set. Annapurna is often drawn with a face that is “round like the moon.” How Cancerian is that?!
Think of this time as chicken soup for your soul. The notion of comfort food surely was invented by a Crab. Cancer is the sign that rules nourishment and this new moon is ripe for a feast. Gather around for a potluck meal with an intimate group. Keeping it small will help you feel connected to each of your guests.
Maybe ask family members to make their own favorite dishes from your family’s heritage, or maybe a favorite recipe handed down from a parent or grandparent no longer with you to celebrate.
Keeping the focus on being together rather than fussing over the details is in order this year!
If you’re not into the idea of a gathering
If you’ve been longing to reconnect with yourself or aren’t ready to gather, private Cancer green-lights dinner for one.
Light candles and use your fancy plates or that China your mother-in-law insisted on getting you for your wedding. If your kitchen is in need of an upgrade, treat yourself to a new gadget, cookware or serving dishes.
