At the new moon in Cancer on Monday, July 17, 2023, we are still struggling to adjust our behaviors to be more emotional, sentimental, and nurturing, which will fix a lot of our current challenges in life.

As a result, we are feeling stuck and angry — like nothing in life is changing! That is NOT because of an external situation. It is because something within ourselves is resistant to what needs to happen.

This uncomfortable emotion then lingers for the entire week and continues to build.

Because it gets to be too frustrating, we then realize that we have no choice but to make the full change in our life to be more sentimental and emotional and to heal the internal pain and trauma that is causing us to resist this change.

Here are some questions for self-reflection to help guide you through this week:

1. What needs to change in your life to be more emotional, nurturing, and sentimental?
2. How can you change this thing to be that way? Write down your options.
3. What steps may you be skipping in this process, or avoiding, because they feel too difficult?
4. What pain or trauma needs to be felt and healed so that you can do this thing you are resisting?
