The Moon was in Cancer all day (UTC).

Born under a waning gibbous moon

Just after the peak, the light begins to shrink from the right side, at least for northern viewers. This phase is traditionally linked with gratitude, reflection and passing on what you have learned. People born under a waning gibbous are often called natural teachers or communicators who want to share ideas that matter to them. When you move through this phase, it can be a good time to thank people, write up lessons, mentor someone or generously pass along resources you no longer need.

Send a short, sincere thank you message to someone who helped you this month. Mention one specific thing they did and how it made a difference to you.

The Moon in Cancer

When the Moon is in Cancer, its home sign, feelings run closer to the surface for almost everyone. People tend to crave comfort, familiarity and the company of those they trust. These days suit cooking a favourite meal, tidying the home, calling family and looking after yourself and others. Sensitivity is higher, so gentle words go further than usual. It is a good time for nesting rather than pushing hard in public.
