Lilith in Cancer conjuncts the new moon will add a rebellious kick to this lunation, illuminating wounds from your childhood that you may not have gotten over.
The deep and psychic nature of the Cancerian new moon indicates that there are memories you have latched onto that continue to limit your progression. These memories might be something your parents or relatives have told you that still stings, household traditions, or expectations that held you back from embracing your desires, or the absence of love, care, and protection, which you yearned for.

The planets are vibing in good energy
Jupiter — the planet of luck and expansion — will form a square with the new moon (which is a 90-degree aspect bringing frustrating lessons and pressured energy that allows you to build strength, optimism, and power). Jupiter in Aries encourages you to own your confidence and make quick judgments and decisions that will bring the ultimate excitement, satisfaction, and adventure into your life. When Jupiter connects with the new moon, it will challenge you to break free of your comfort zone in order to welcome this positive and abundant Jupiterian light into your life. But, only you can change your approach to life and make the decision to approach obstacles with a different outlook (rather than through the lens of your pain and childhood trauma.
Jupiter will also connect with Venus in Gemini — the other benefic (favorable) planet in the sky — bringing powerful and illuminating energy and the opportunity to connect with people who closely align with your values and offer a safe space for you to be vulnerable and true to yourself. Another great thing about this new moon is that Mars in Aries and Saturn in Aquarius will be in a position of comfort as they both transit their rulership zodiac signs. While they won't directly interact with the new moon, they will harmonize with each other, strengthening your vigor and determination to take responsibility for your life path.
