Cancer New Moon Eclipse Miniscopes
Eclipse Season just keeps going on this summer!
The New Moon Eclipse in Cancer comes in strong! This is a Solar Eclipse - although it will not be seen from the Northern Hemisphere. The purpose of a New Moon Eclipse is to jolt us with a surge of energy! We usually feel awake and ready to take action. The Moon comes “home” in Cancer, making Cancer New Moons very potent and flowing. This New Moon greets us right at the start of the Summer Solstice - putting it at a 0º. This particular New Moon Eclipse is the final in a 2 year series of Cancer/Capricorn energy - so we are ending a cycle this time around and beginning a new one. Eclipses create major changes - so where we are now is far different from where we were two years ago at the start of the eclipse series. Things are starting to take shape and come full circle. This will apply to our collective comfort, emotions, roots and our home (so the country we live in). The U.S. has been illuminated throughout the past few years in the eclipse series creating major and swift changes. We are setting ourselves up for the next 6 years and beyond.
This particular New Moon comes with a magnitude of retrograde planets (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto) - so although we want to take action, we may also be looking at past projects or needing to rethink our plans along the way. The Moon is the planetary leader for this New Moon, and is sitting right next to the North Node, asking us to reach toward what we hope to achieve and access our callings. We must release what is no longer working for us or what is holding us back. It’s time to step into our personal power and our destinies. It may feel uncomfortable, and the eclipse energy will shake things up, but it is vital. We are starting to see what we can become. Childhood traumas and past issues may surface now for us to deal with, but this will only serve as a way for us to grow. Mars links up with Pluto and Jupiter beautifully at this New Moon, giving us increased energy and sex appeal. We are feeling creative (Neptune is there too to help with this), and we are feeling inspired. We feel called to do humanitarian work and research. We are trying to see how we want our future to be. Mercury sextiles Uranus and trines Neptune, so our thoughts are original, insightful and creative. Because it is retrograde at this time, we may be looking at old ways of thinking and try to find solutions to past problems or ideologies. Neptune enhances our intuition, but it amplifies the retrograde cloudiness. Make sure to come up for air and not to drown in our own head. Self care is important at this New Moon as we focus on nurturing ourselves. In addition, keep in mind, if you have any personal planets in your chart at 26º to 29º or 0º to 4º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. So, let’s see what this is all means for you individually!
Aries to Cancer
Aries & Aries Rising
My lovely Ram! It’s time to turn that focus to your inner world and your family. When was the last time you checked in with yourself and how you feel? Your emotions are strong, this New Moon enhances that for you. You are ending a two year cycle on dealing with your emotional center or your family right. These areas may be a source of joy. There seems to be a lot of emphasis on laying low - which is out of the ordinary! Your intuition is strong right now, so listen to what it has to say! It may not make sense to you, but there’s validity to what you’re sensing. You are feeling slow increases to your energy level as Mars is nearing your sign. Your dreams are active, so pay attention to those messages. You may hear from a family member that you haven’t heard from in a while. They seem to have some interesting information. Conversations with family are lively and eye opening - breakthroughs can be achieved (consider even looking at some family lineage or ancestral roots). If you have been thinking about ways to increase your income, think of hobbies or ideas that you have had in the past - maybe something you can do from home that plays on your creativity. Enjoy this tender New Moon and bask in the work that you have put into the past few years. You are really coming to terms with a lot emotionally - perhaps even overcoming some childhood traumas.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
Taurus! What is on your mind? You seem to be thinking about a lot right now and are more in the mood to share your thoughts than normal! This New Moon highlights your 3rd house, making you more interested in learning or trying something new. You may feel a little scattered or not know where to start, but this eclipse gives you a jolt of energy to start a passion project! You are lively and enjoying phone calls and texts with friends. Actually, you have a friend that is really inspiring you and giving you a lot of things to think about - and vice versa. You may receive a surprise from this person or surprise them with your willingness to be more open minded. Your phone is going to be abuzz over the next few weeks - pay attention to who is reaching out, it will likely old be friends checking in on you! Also, you may be effected by the infamous Mercury Retrograde more than most signs right now. Don’t buy any new electronics or devices! You will be disappointed. On another note, you are trying to find ways to step out of your comfort zone a little bit - and if you aren’t, you’re going to be forced to. You are approaching your self-worth and the things your value a little differently. But, this is all good. If you have been studying or working on an educational matter - you will receive news that your hard work has paid off. If you are involved in a legal case, you will likely hear good news from this as well. Check in on your siblings to just say hi! Also, make sure that everything you say is what you mean! Mercury is retrograde, so you go over every detail before forging ahead.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
My Astrotwins! Hello! Looking for a new source of income or way to make more money? This could be your chance! You have been working really hard over the past few years, and it is all paying off! This eclipse will open a door for you to start a new venture or perhaps get a raise or earn more money. Just read the fine print and understand what the responsibilities entail before just saying yes and taking it! You are getting noticed at work, especially by all of the right people. If you want to start your own business, this is a great time to be thinking about the plan you want to put into place (I just would not launch the business at this New Moon with Venus and Mercury both retrograde). Definitely plant those seeds though! Work has been very busy, and that will start to slow down for you in the coming days when Mars leaves Pisces and moves into Aries. If you have been having a hard time with holding onto money or dealing with your relationships, this will clear up when Venus goes direct in your sign on the 24th. You may still be dealing with miscommunications (Mercury is your ruling planet), but you will feel more improvements. With Mercury retrograding in your 2nd House, I would pay attention to your finances a little bit more than normal - maybe rework that budget or rethink what you are spending money on. You may be surprised to see where your money is going right now! On another level, you may be dealing with what you really value morally and personally - this is all apart of growth. You are ending years of work in making a foundation for yourself materially and morally. Be proud of where you are standing now in comparison to just a few years ago.
Cancer & Cancer Rising
Happy New Moon, Babies! It is your Eclipse! You may feel especially energized but also emotional at this New Moon! You are on a high right now! You are being given this burst of energy - especially if you are born within a few days of the 21st of June (or early degrees in your rising). You are really dealing with what you personally want right now, and you may be releasing some old habits that have been holding you back in relationships and on a singular level, as well. You are feeling sexy right now and really embracing your body. Own it! A friend or partner is there to boost your ego, too! They know all of the right things to help you get into the right headspace. Neptune and Mars are both energizing your 9th House, so your intuition is on fire! You are really enjoying more philosophical conversations and can see the big picture for yourself. You may be learning another language, learning a new skill or working on a project that you want to launch internationally. Enjoy this time of fun and the exciting energy - Mars is going to be moving into your career sector and work is going to get very busy for the next 6 months! Really right now, anything you want - you can create. Just be sure you know EXACTLY what you want, because with Mercury retrograde in your sign, you may not fully feel committed or see clearly the path you are headed down. Have faith and know that you are the maker of your own destiny. This Eclipse is ending a two year cycle where you should be feeling the strength in stepping into your own personal power. You have grown immensely in your relationships - but also in yourself. Congrats my little crab!
Leo to Scorpio
Leo & Leo Rising
It’s time to take it easy! You have been going, going, going - so slow things down! This New Moon falls in your 12th House, making you feel the need to rest. Uranus is still in your career sector, this time giving you the chance you need to take things slow. You may hear some positive surprise news at work, which can finally give you the chance to relax. Maybe you will get news about a new job if you are looking for one (just read ALL of the fine print). Mars and Neptune are traveling your 8th House, so you have been dealing with some hidden emotional issues or perhaps tying up some financial loose ends. Luckily, this New Moon can support those efforts for you. You receive some good news at this time that you have been waiting for - maybe it will be a bonus or money that has been held up. This would be a great time to think about future investments. Mercury is retrograde, so you are dealing with some old feelings that are bubbling to the surface. You are a little quieter than usual, but this is helpful for you. Mars will move soon into your 9th House, which will make you feel a lot more energized. However, for now, you are really enjoying some down time. It is really deserved after all of the ups and downs you have been feeling at work. If you need surgery, you may hear about the procedure now. Mars will ensure a quick recovery for you. Your health and mental health have been in focus on and off over the last few years, and things may become more clear for you over the next few weeks.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
Virgo! You can get by with a little help from your friends! People seem to be rallying around you right now. Your networking abilities are amazing (on and offline). This Eclipse is really bringing you together with groups and friends - but it is also highlighting your Hopes and Dreams (what you really want out of life). You are also more vocal than normal! Your activism is being seen and heard! Your partner seems to be aiding you in all of this, sort of like the ringleader in ensuring your success! You and your partner have had a few rough patches lately, but they are fully coming through for you right now! You guys are mending the fences and really finding common ground. They are supporting you, and you deserve it! Old friends are showing up left and right, coming to show support to you and check in on how you are doing. You may be reconnecting and reaching out on your own. You are feeling more social than normal right now. You may also be starting new friendships (and potentially ending some, too). You’ve been dealing with friends, groups and clubs over the past two years - really trying to find where you belong. Do you want to find people who are like minded or would you rather forge your own path and stand out? The answer will present itself now. You are creatively different, too, now. You may be working on an original idea, invention or technological project - if so, you will receive a breakthrough! Mercury is your ruling planet, so you may feel a little all over the place over the next few weeks during the retrograde, just take it easy. Don’t take anything at face value AND don’t buy any new electronics or vehicles - no matter how tempting it may be!
Libra & Libra Rising
How are you doing, my Libra friend? You may feel busy, I know! This New Moon is focused on your career! If you are working, you will see things start to ramp up even more - especially with Mars in your 6th House too! If you want to change careers or jobs, this is your chance! You are really thinking about where you want to go and what you want to do! Your goals seems to be under a reevaluation right now. They have been over the past few years, but it is far more prevalent this time. You are feeling like you are ready to make some moves. Get your ducks in a row, you are on the edge of some great things! You may have had a few health set backs lately, but those are clearing up! You are regaining your energy and just in time! Money seems to be finding itself to you in surprising ways or soon will. Uranus in your 8th house shows that finances and debts seem to be all over the place lately, but this New Moon is friendly and helpful. You may take on another job or a temporary job to help pay off some of those debts or ease some of your financial anxiety. Maybe you just are trying to be more aggressive with saving, but whatever you are doing - it is working to offset some those bigger costs that you have incurred. Over the past few years - and now more than ever - you’re releasing the need to be someone else in your career, because you are realizing what is truly important to you. You want it all - family time, a good job, stable income - and you can have it all, but not without hard work. You can take control of what you want!
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
Hello, My Scorpios! You are really taking it to the next level right now in so many ways! I know you can’t travel as much as you would want right now, but you are definitely focusing a lot of energy on expanding your mind and your horizons. You may be learning a new language, taking classes, teaching/mentoring or getting involved in activist groups! You are having great conversations with people and trying to open up their minds to things that they would not have considered before! If you want to go back to school, this is a time to do the research on the programs and the schools you want to apply to! You have a really good chance to do this right now! Alternatively, you may be finishing up your degree - as we are ending the 2 year period focused on this area of your chart. If you are attached, a partner is really coming through for you in surprising ways. They may even shock you with how much they are trying to show up for you. If you are single, there may be a new love interest that finds its way to you! Your creativity is high and you really are taking everything to the next level! Social Media is abuzz for you, and you are really getting involved with what’s going on around you and in the world. Just know your limits - Mercury is retrograde in the same house as this New Moon. Don’t overextend yourself and try to do too much all at once. You are energized and may bite off more than you can chew.
Sagittarius to Pisces
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
How are you feeling, Sag? I know this isn’t always a comfortable question for you, but you may be dealing with some deeper emotions right now. This New Moon can lead to a breakthrough for you. You have had a lot of pent up pain that you may been keeping down. You may be focusing a lot on your intimacy and your fear of commitment. You aren’t afraid of much, but being vulnerable is something that can be tough for you. You can escape your problems instead of dealing with them head on sometimes. You really have been trying to decide what you want over the past few years, as far as a deep connection with someone emotionally and intimately and the role you want to play in a relationship. Alternatively, you may be dealing with some financial stuff - perhaps divorce, debt, inheritance, bonuses and investments. Money has come and gone throughout the past few years, and you are in a position to really make big strides in this regard. If you are attached, you may really thinking about the way that you and your partner can approach your finances together. If you are single, you may be looking at ways to save more or better prepare yourself for the future. Mercury is retrograde in your 8th House, so you may be waiting on some money - there is a chance that it will be delayed for some reason. The good news is, money does seem to be coming to you! You have been working hard at work - and the money you receive may come as a surprise. On another note, your family is really coming through for you! You may get some help from a family member that you’ve been needing. They are willing and able to do what they can to be there for you. It will be unexpected. Don’t be so proud - if they offer to help (financially or emotionally), then take it. You would do the same for them if the tables were turned. Mars will be finding its way into your 5th house to spice up your love life in the coming week - so enjoy this downtime before things heat up!
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
What does a union mean to you? Capricorn, you have been focusing on your relationships a lot over the past few years - and how you fit into that partnership. You may have ended a relationship or started one - this New Moon supports you and your 7th House. So, you may very focused on looking for a partner or enjoying time with the one you have. You have had to learn how to make concessions over the past few years, and that isn’t always easy for you. You are strong, but sometimes compromise can be difficult. Plus, you’ve been hosting a lot of planets in your sign, so you have had to make some greater sacrifices that you wouldn’t have otherwise. After the Eclipse in your sign on July 5th, you are going to be in a much better position and really figure out what you want. Are you unhappy in your relationship? Then, it may be time to end it. Do you want to get married? Then, consider having that conversation or proposing! There is a lot that is riding on you and your ability to be honest with yourself and your partner. Mercury is retrograde here, so you may feel that the time isn’t right. Take it easy, you don’t have to make a decision right now. Mars and Neptune suggests that a friend is there to help you out! They may be a confidant or even give you a different and impartial perspective. In addition to this, you may even find a new love interest - maybe in that friend! The connection could come as a surprise to you at first. You may not have considered it, but once you embrace the idea, you can really take your relationship with them to the next level. You may feel unsure - but things are about to clear up for you! Just give it a little extra time.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
Oh Aquarius, you are getting some new work coming to you! If you are a freelancer or work for yourself, business will be pouring in. If you work for someone else, there is a chance for you to be taking on a new role or bigger projects. Mars and Neptune suggest that you may even get a pay increase with this! Just don’t try to do too much all at once! Mercury is retrograde, so you have to look over every detail of the job. You can’t let one thing go unchecked. Your health seems to be in focus right now too. This is a great time to start a new diet, routine or exercise regimen! The New Moon highlights your need to want to be good to your body. You are wanting to protect your health and try to find new ways to improve it. The past few years, you have had a lot of focus here, so you are now really understanding what you and your body needs! The important thing to remember is to build it into your daily life. What you’ve experienced over the past few years health-wise may be coming to an end. Alternatively, you may also be trying to learn a new skill to prepare your for the next level in your work. If you are looking for a job, you can likely find something that is a lateral position but with slightly higher pay! You are really trying to find what is important to you in your work environment. Some of you may be really reevaluating what you do for work in general and what you want to do - does it really align with your principles and life goals? You are standing out among your coworkers more than normal - so recognition can come but not without the effort. The clients you bring in if you work for yourself may be connected through past work you’ve done or old clients finding their way back to you for something new! You have built a strong reputation for yourself, keep the momentum going!
Pisces & Pisces Rising
Hi Pisces! Are you feeling creative, energized and ready? This New Moon falls in your 5th House! If you want to conceive anything - a child, a project, art, music or even a romance - the possibility is here! You are itching to start something new, but Mercury is retrograde here too, so take it slow. Start with the planning. You have to make sure that everything is in a row before hitting the ground running. Luckily, you have Mars on your side right now fueling your ambitions and will to succeed! This will only be amplified when it moves into Aries, making you interested in ways to increase your income and worth! If you are single, this is a great New Moon to meet someone! This could come through a friend in a very surprising way. They may introduce you (or re-introduce you) to someone. If you have met them before, you may not have realized the compatibility until now. You are excited by this new love interest, they captivate you. If you are attached, you can rekindle the fire with your current partner. Think about ways that you both can bring out your inner child and just let loose and have fun! You are more willing to be open, chatty and a part of the world right now. You are feeling passionate and perhaps even sexy! If you are looking to start a new creative project, a friend can be there to help you with that as well - think about doing the work/project with them. They are inspiring you - and vice versa! You could even build a community around the project you are looking to start. Regardless, this is a time to express yourself. It is such natural and flowing energy for you. Put your heart into something that is moving your right now. You have all of necessary means to succeed.
Happy Cancer New Moon to all!!
This New Moon is super potent and exciting! There is a lot unpacking, but also the idea that we are nearing the end of a cycle. The pair to this eclipse will occur on July 5th. After that, we will see all of the efforts of our work over the past few years come full circle. Some things may not survive - and others will be starting whole new ventures. Enjoy this Eclipse! I will see you guys on July 5th for the next one!
