I feel 'ya Friend, the month of Cancer can be an anxiety producing month.

According to Kabbalah there are three months of the year {Leo, Capricorn and this month of Cancer which begins Saturday afternoon 🌑} that lack the “spiritual ozone layer” or filter that the other months have.

What does lack of a spiritual filter mean actually?

Well, it means there is potential for the energy of this period to overwhelm us.

It means the energy hits us more directly. And without a filter, the Light can burn us.

During this period we experience less time between cause and effect; less time between when we take a negative action and when the karmic consequences show up in our lives.

So the Kabbalists teach that in these three months to be on your best “New Moon Behavior” for the whole month. Because any reactive behavior in this period can be more impactful than other months.

Ok, with all that being said…

We don’t need to feel powerless and worry about how the astrological influences of this month will manifest in our personal lives. Instead, we may focus on how to arm ourselves with knowledge about how the energy flows and tools to best direct it.

So let’s get to it!!

✵ How the Energy of Cancer Affects Your Life ✵

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING to know about the energy of this month is:

The physical and spiritual disease of cancer is born in the astrological month Cancer. The energetic root of this most feared disease begins in this month.

It’s important to note that cancer is not limited to affecting our physical bodies. It may occur in many different areas of life, which means it may manifest in our relationships, our business/work, our possessions…

But as the Zohar (one of the ancient texts of Kabbalah) explains, before any type of dis-ease manifests in the physical world, the antidote or cure is already present. The cure PRE-dates the disease.

This is a huge piece of knowledge. If we can truly tap into it and use it to focus our thoughts and actions this month, we will make a significant impact on the way our future unfolds.

✵ Removing Sorrow ✵

The Aramaic word for cancer is "Sartan".

It is a combination of 2 other words:

⫸ Sar = to remove, eliminate, clean

⫸ Tan = sorrow, darkness, chaos

The great Kabbalists Rav Shimon bar Yochai and Rav Isaac Luria explain that the feelings of sorrow and anger abruptly disconnect us from the Light, and from happiness. These feelings drop us into the lower frequencies of chaos and disease.

The Aramaic word “Sartan” actually refers to “removing sorrow”.

Therefore the name of this month includes clear instruction for how to prevent any physical, emotional or financial sickness that may begin in this month —how to connect to the antidote and prevent any manifestation of chaos into the physical world.

In a Nutshell:

🚫 Do not: Dwell in sadness of any kind this month!

✅ Instead: Do more to help yourself feel plugged in, connected and aligned. Because the more you are feeling good and happy, the less likely you will drop into the lower frequencies that create disease.

🚫 Do not: Be fooled by what you “see” in the physical world, especially when what you see appears to be negative.

✅ Instead: Awaken the understanding that hardships are an opportunity to reveal light.

All challenges are there to help us wake up. {I know from personal experience that this can be hard to accept because I have also been through some extremely difficult situations!} But every challenge exists to help us get closer to our Soul’s true form.

Inside each hardship is a great spark of Light. The difficult circumstances are like a shell or a wall, and when broken great Light can enter our lives and create a Quantum Leap in our reality.

When you are in the midst of a challenge, say to yourself:

I don’t see the whole picture right now. This challenge means that something amazing is on its way!

Once the shell of the challenge is broken, tremendous Light will be released into my life and lead to blessings I cannot even imagine.

I am excited to see what that will be!!

✵ Letters for the Month of Cancer ✵

Tomorrow & Sunday (July 6 & 7) take some time to meditate on the Letters of the Month: Chet and Tav.

By connecting with these letters, you are supercharging your ability to balance the energies of this month.

✵ The letter Chet corresponds to the Moon. It has a numerical value of 8.

✵ The letter Tav corresponds to the Sign of Cancer. It has a numerical value of 400.

✵ New Moon Meditation ✵

• Let your eyes fall over each sacred letter from Right to Left.

• Study the shapes of the letters and trace the outline of each letter with your eyes. Allow your eyes to receive the energy and activate the mind and soul.

• Contemplate the numerical values of each letter which will activate the energy even more.

• Close your eyes. See if you can recreate both letters in your mind's eye.

• Call to mind any area in your life that you are feeling sadness about, or lack or anger. 

• See Healing Energy and Bright Light flow from the letters Chet and Tav to these areas. Feel the Light lifting you out of these lower frequencies. Awaken the certainty that all is well —that you may not be able to see the good in this moment, but this challenge means something amazing is on its way. And you are excited to be surprised and delighted by the good that will emerge from it!

• Keep focusing and flowing the energy, and when you feel it is complete for you, send this Certainty and Light out to any person in your life in need of support.

You did it! 🎉

Continue to connect with the two sacred letters as often as you can throughout the entire month. And remember to find things that make you feel happy!
