The Astrology of the New Moon at 14° of Cancer brings a few key themes to the forefront: emotional renewal, introspection, nurturing, and emotional well-being, along with connecting with our inner feelings. A practice in coming home to ourselves.
Self-care and nurturing are closely linked to our emotional well-being. This New Moon offers a wonderful opportunity to journal and honor your feelings. Sit down and write about the most important aspects of your life. This aligns with the nature of the New Moon in Cancer. It's not necessarily about initiating new action but rather about honoring and recognizing your feelings and identifying steps you would like to take to make any necessary changes. Because you have slowed down and taken some time for yourself, and focusing on your emotional needs, you align perfectly with Cancer by nurturing your home and family.
Of course cancer is associated with our intuition and sensitivities, since it is a cardinal water sign. That urges us to ask ourselves the question: what steps do I need to take to move forward in my own journey of healing?
The most important thing we can do during New Moon phases is to journal our feelings and process them.As with all New Moons and especially this New Moon in Cancer, we have an opportunity to set new intentions around these qualities and any other deep feelings you have. The astrology around this New Moon Cancer is emotional renewal as well as many other processes I will talk about here.
Contrary to popular belief the New Moon isn't necessarily about initiating new action, as the moon is dark and new, and fragile like a baby. The most important thing we can do during New Moon phases is to journal our feelings and process them. It is very helpful to see in words how we are feeling.
Once you have written down how you're feeling and what emotions have surfaced, each category should be its own separate entry. Next, focus on the emotional steps you can take for growth and positive forward movement concerning whatever you're emotional about, as well as any domestic situations, since Cancer heavily influences the family realm.
After completing your journaling and writing out your intentions, and really connecting with your feelings and the needs of your domestic life, another beautiful way to connect with this New Moon in the water sign of Cancer is to get near water.

We have focused on many things that are meditative in nature, but there is also Mindfulness Meditation.
Set aside 10-15 minutes for mindfulness meditation. Focus on your breath and observe your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Allow yourself to be fully present in the moment, accepting whatever arises with compassion. Journal about this.

A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE LUNAR GESTATION CYCLE
THE FIRST TWO PHASES:
The start of each lunar gestation phase begins with a New Moon, which brings awareness to new events within a fresh Zodiac sign. It presents an opportunity for learning and exploration. Engaging in activities aligned with the Zodiac sign of the New Moon. At this stage, we usually don't know the outcome of what we're initiating because both the Sun and Moon are at the same place in the zodiac and have a similar perspective. It's akin to planting a seed, where the results will unfold over time. The increased consciousness that results from making plans and resolutions during this New Moon will develop over the course of nine months, culminating in the First Quarter Moon, which will occur at a similar zodiac degree as the New Moon. Consequently, it's critical to plant ideas and start new endeavors that are motivated by and consistent with the attributes symbolized by the matching Zodiac sign. New moon also represents new growth, and new growth is tender and adaptable and so are you.
Nine months after the New Moon, we reach the First Quarter Moon, (some calendars will call this the Second Quarter Moon) which occurs at a similar degree as the New Moon. This phase serves as a turning point marked by the square aspect between the Sun and the Moon. Throughout this time of the lunar gestation phase, tension and struggle are typical. There is increased bravery and action, but there are also difficulties. These difficulties frequently serve as a springboard for a big improvement during the next lunar phase, which occurs nine months later at the Full Moon. By now, the projects we started during the New Moon nine months ago are formally underway, and the fruits of our labor are starting to show.
