Intuition and The Moon
With the New Moon in Cancer at the start of this week, I thought a good blog topic would be to explore how astrology, and the Moon in particular, can be used with your intuition to help guide you through life.
The Oxford Dictionary defines intuition as “the ability to understand something instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning”. This is our ability to just know things. Some people might refer to it as a gut feeling. There’s no conscious reason for you to know it, you just do.
Astrology is the study of the cycles and movements of the planets and how they influence our lives and personalities. It can be used as a tool to understand yourself and your motivation on a much deeper level and to also plan and predict your life.
I work closely with the Moon and use her cycles and rhythms to map out my goals and life. I teach other women how to build their businesses with the moon so that they can work in a way that flows with their energy. The moon is tied to our emotions in astrology, and our emotions are our internal compass.
When you combine astrology with using your intuition, you can make decisions around all areas of your life and ensure that you are heading in the right direction. Astrology can be used for guidance in both your personal life and business, when you pair it with your intuition then this becomes your most powerful tool.
When you develop your intuition, start to listen to it and become more open-minded, your senses start to pick up on more things that your logical mind would have previously dismissed. You will see signs that reassure you that you are on the right path, or that give you a gentle nudge on the next step to take.
The New Moon in Cancer is an ideal time to start to connect with your intuition as it is one of the deeply emotional signs. Set aside some time when you won’t be disturbed so that you can start to listen to yourself.
Sit in a comfortable position, close your eyes and take some deep breaths. Ask yourself questions and see what comes up. As we are working with the energy of the Cancer New Moon, here are some questions you can ask yourself;
What are my goals for the next 6 months?
How can I honour my home space?
What helps me feel safe and secure?
Where do I need more empathy?
Where can I be more compassionate?
How can I go with the flow?
When you ask yourself these questions, pay attention to the thoughts that you have, and also the feelings that accompany them. When we work with the moon we are not just using her for guidance, but using our emotions too. Write down any ideas that come to you.
Make your New Moon Wishes in the same way that you normally do (download my free guide if you need it) and then pay attention to anything and everything that goes on around you as you go about your day.
Every morning, close your eyes and take a deep breath, then ask yourself “What should I do today?” If you are focused on your big dream for this lunar cycle, then you can ask your intuition every day, what should I do next?
If you are just developing your intuition then this will be a process. You have to learn to trust yourself and your decisions while you learn to follow your intuition. Keep a note of anything that comes up for you. Any challenges or struggles. Anything that doesn’t feel right. But also, anything positive or recurring moments that appear.
There are many other tools that you can use to strengthen your intuition. You could use Tarot or Oracle Cards, or another form of divination. These are not tools to predict the future, they are prompts for your intuition. You can also tune into the daily energies of the moon for guidance on what to do each day.
Trust your intuition and ask it to guide you. If you struggle, then use a tool to help you understand what it is trying to tell you. Listen to your heart and your emotions. If something doesn’t feel right, then don’t do it. And if something brings you joy, do more of it!!
I hope you have found this week's blog helpful and can start to connect with your own intuition on this New Moon in Cancer.
