So the Cancer moon was supposed to be emotional, especially internally. Curious how did it affect you? Or did it?

Found this explanation from http://www.astrologerjenny.com/current.html

The Current Lunar Cycle
(16?? Cancer)

This looks like a pretty pleasant lunar cycle. The sun,
moon and Mercury are together in Cancer, with
Jupiter a little earlier in the sign. There's an
emphasis on nurturing, protecting, caring for the
helpless, and maintaining family bonds. It will be an
emotional month, with everybody responding more
fully to the emotional energy around them.

There are two close trines at the new moon: a
Venus/Uranus trine, and a Saturn/Neptune trine.
These help to harmonize the energy, balance all the
free-floating emotion, and provide some creative
outlets for people during this lunar cycle. People are
beginning to bring together their spiritual
consciousness and their moral sensibilities, and this
could make religion much more relevant in today??s
world — since there are so many moral problems that
need to be addressed.

So it's a time of spiritual growth, and also of creative
growth. But it's not the most exciting lunar cycle,
since it's very watery. The energy is somewhat
inward-directed. Although love will make some
people adventurous, there will be a lot of people
clinging to comfortable old habits.

This lunar cycle lasts until the next new moon on
August 6. Its climactic moment is the full moon on
July 22.

The new moon occurred
in NYC: Mon, July 8, 3:14 am
in Vancouver: Mon, July 8, 12:14 am
in London: Mon, July 8, 8:14 am
in Singapore: Mon, July 8, 3:14 pm
in Sydney: Mon, July 8, 5:14 pm

I think I processed a lot of things internally. Mentally picked apart some relationship issues. I mentally felt heavy, like I was on an emotional roller coaster. Surprising, I feel it lessening up and feeling freer emotionally. Then I realized the moon cycle changes tonight.

Just curious if anyone else has felt anything heavier with this moon.

I cried myself to sleep a few times because I felt really emotional for no real reason at all. That's about it though.

Wow... so this is the reason I've been an emotional roller coaster for these past few months? Two days ago, it was as if an emotional weight was lifted. My focus and worry on certain things...just went away. I feel emotionally stable now and strong... whereas just a few days ago, I felt needy, weak and emotionally all over the place. Now I have an understanding of why.

That's how I was feeling.

+1 more. It's unbelievable how light the emotional load is now. I even started questioning whether or not I'm as interested as I thought I was in someone...because suddenly, I'm not obsessing on analyzing and trying to make sense of it.

Nice feeling overall. 🙂

Me too!
