Written By Melody H

Hi beautiful souls,

My name is Melody, and I’m a bodyworker, licensed esthetician, yin and restorative yoga instructor, and sound practitioner at Soul Rituals. I also write the horoscopes and am currently in the process of launching my skincare and holistic tincture line ✨Neptune and the Moon ✨ a space where I share astrological insights and create offerings to support your skincare rituals, your health, and your emotional well-being.

I’m so honored to begin with this week’s 🌑New Moon in Cancer🌑a deeply internal and emotionally resonant lunar moment.

🌑 New Moon in Cancer — A Time to Come Home to Yourself

The New Moon marks the beginning of a fresh lunar cycle, an ideal time to turn inward and set intentions. When the Moon is in Cancer, its home sign, this introspection becomes even more intimate, tender, and powerful.

Cancer invites us to ask:

  • What does home mean to me, truly?

  • Who and what makes me feel safe, rooted, and loved?

  • What parts of myself are ready to be nurtured?

  • How can I nourish my inner world?


This New Moon may bring up emotions we’ve tried to ignore. That’s not a bad thing! It’s an invitation. You are allowed to slow down, feel deeply, and listen to the voice within that knows what you truly need.

🌑 Suggested Practices for This Week

To support this time of emotional re-centering, I invite you to:

  • Practice somatic movement:  stretch, shake, or sway to move feelings through your body.

  • Connect to your breath: use gentle breathing to regulate your nervous system.

  • Try yin or restorative yoga: both help train your body to relax and restore. Class Tuesdays 6-7pm at Soul Rituals!!
