Cancer New Moon Miniscopes
Cancer New
Moon Miniscopes
Nourishing Waters.
The New Moon in Cancer falls at 18º on July 9th at 9:16 PM EST. The Moon comes home, back to its position where it feels comforted and nourished by the soft energy of Cancer. The Moon in Cancer is always a powerful time, and this being a New Moon is no different. This is the first New Moon we have after eclipse season, where we can begin our work to start fresh. At the Full Moon in Capricorn, we broke barriers and dissolved limitations. Now, we can let the Cancerian water rush in to cleanse the space and wash away what was left behind. This is a baptism of sorts. We are renewed.
We watch the Moon itself closely as it is the leader of this lunation. Just as the Moon goes dark, we, too, turn inward to reorganize our inner world. The Moon touches the Sun, where they meet in a warm embrace. This energy is one of new beginnings and a reorientation of both our internal and external worlds. We are focused on our nest and our comforts, perhaps seeking to make more room in our homes. We are taking stock of our emotional natures and trying to ensure that our needs are being met before we venture out into the world.
The Moon in Cancer is a time to work with our vulnerability and our careful, intimate natures. We hold the softest parts of ourselves closely and honor the home we’ve built. Here, the Moon works well with Uranus, compared to the harsh square that was formed with Saturn when the Moon was Full. So, instead of forcing our freedoms, we can approach them more naturally. We understand why we had to let go of the past, and feel more inspired to approach our future.
Uranus brings a whirlwind of change and excitement at this lunation. It will not only touch the Moon, but also the Sun! So, this sense of liberation is coming from the inside out. We can feel electric or motivated. There is a huge alignment and shift within us and how we approach life in general. Optimism comes to mind. The message here is reinforced by the Venus and Mars conjunction, both falling in the solar sign of Leo. Our heart is moved by action and passion, a spark being lit by Uranus, that sets ablaze our need to create. Mars will push us to move and assert the space we inhabit, while Venus will soften this, ensuring that there is room for everyone. Leo may like to shine, but it is generous. The warmth is radiant, magnetic, and inclusive.
Venus will square Uranus, which is our wildcard at this New Moon. So, our values may be in question. It seems as though our need to forge ahead is being fought by our need to keep our safety net. We fear losing what we have because the future is still unknown. When we strike a balance and realize that home provides us the stability to roam, then we are no longer limited by this internal struggle. At the end of the day, the Moon swoops in to nurture us. We have much we can learn from the Moon itself. It is ever-changing — and yet always the same. It is feral — yet familiar. If it can exist in both, so can we.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 14º to 22º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Cardinal placements. So, let’s break this down by sign!
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
We are coming off a tension astrological week, and there has been a lot going on. This New Moon rushes in to pour water over the burns and soften the dynamic. For you Aries, it is time to come home. You may have been feeling unsettled at best, and this lunation will have you focused on taking a respite. Your family, home life and emotional well-being are coming into focus more clearly. This is a time to protect yourself and those you love – keeping them close. The New Moon will fall in your 4th House, highlighting your need to be more private. The Moon, itself, actually leads this New Moon and is at home in Cancer. So, the energy is much more natural and not forced. You may be starting a new direction around your family dynamic or even in your home life (buying, selling, redecorating, renting, etc). New Moons are opportunities to begin again, and if you have been unhappy with something, then now is the time to change it. The Sun and Moon are widely sextile Uranus. This is helpful as Uranus has been creating some tension lately. This can add some levity and surprise around this New Moon. Venus squares Uranus, however, so be patient for outcomes. You may feel limited financially to do some of the things you want to do. Alternatively, you could just generally be feeling more down about yourself, as you haven’t been as confident. Consider finding small ways to take time and create. Venus will have a nice conjunction to Mars (your ruler), and these cosmic lovers will be moving closer toward an embrace. Both are poised in your 5th House. So, soon you may find renewed sense of being – looking to express yourself unashamedly and creating joy just because you can and deserve it. If you have been thinking about children, this Venus/Mars conjunction may be good for that. If you have been looking to concept/start a new project or idea – this conjunction will help there too. Use this New Moon to withdraw a bit and go within. Release pieces of the past to make way for a brighter future. Allow your happiness to shine through, no matter what anyone tells you. If you have been feeling overworked, then try to slow down and rest. Allow the New Moon to nourish you.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
You are a Fixed sign, and in the last week, Fixed energy has been going through it a bit. There has been many ups and downs through Mars opposing Saturn and squaring off with Uranus in your sign. However, this New Moon in Cancer comes in to nourish and heal. It will fall in your 3rd House, so communication and dialogue will be extremely important. This is really not a time to mince your words or hold back. Instead, you have to be more open with saying what’s on your mind and heart – and more so, also be receptive to what others have to say. The Moon leads this New Moon, ensuring that emotions are brought to awareness. Anything that may have been subconscious, now creeps up out of the dark and is placed in the forefront of our minds. This can be helpful, especially if you are trying to create connections. Conversations can feel stimulating, exciting and eventful, especially as the Sun and Moon have a wide connection to Uranus. Your mind may be abuzz with new ideas and ways in which you can make steady and unique changes in your life. You may feel more inspired for independence and ready to tell people what you are thinking. Venus (your ruler) does square Uranus, however. So, this can create a little tension. You may hold yourself back a bit based on fear. Maybe you are worried about being “less private”. Your family could also be creating a little tension now, too. Maybe you aren’t being heard or witnessed the way you need to. This is why the idea of communication is so important now. If issues have been cropping up with your physical home, know that it will be resolved soon. Venus is also moving closer toward a conjunction with Mars. This will align heart, action, will and connection. Venus will add diplomacy and tact to Mars energy, as these cosmic lovers enjoy embracing more than anything else. This can calm the waters in your family and domestic life and make things easier around the home in general. It will be an ideal time to start thinking about renovations or decoration, especially as we move closer to Leo season! Use this New Moon to find your voice and create active and open dialogue with yourself and others.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
You have been in the hot seat the last few weeks, and since Cancer Season there has been more clarity and doors opening. The Full Moon had your mind on others, shared resources and debt – but now this New Moon will change that. You will be more focused on self-reliance and your earning power. The New Moon falls in your 2nd House, where income, material possession, self-worth, value and critical self-understanding lie. Here, we take a stand. This New Moon is ruled by the Moon itself, because of its placement in Cancer. If you are looking for new sources of income or a promotion, this could be a good lunation for you to do so. I would also encourage you to think about what you value and why. What is important to you and how does that impact your daily life? Understanding your self-worth and your morals are helpful as you navigate all of the changes that have been occurring. You can’t be caught up in the ambiguity anymore. The Sun and Moon harmoniously reach out to Uranus at this New Moon. So, you could have a surprise ending that brings a greater sense of confidence into your life, especially if you didn’t have the heart to end things yourself. You may also find that you are being asked to listen to your intuition more, lean into what you know and how you can have more self-trust. Venus will be square Uranus, however, making things a bit sticky. You may be allowing anxiety or fear control you more than you need to. Especially surrounding conversations that need to happen. Waiting isn’t going to help anything. Instead, it will likely make things worse. Luckily, Mars will help Venus, as they move closer toward a conjunction. You may find the courage to speak up and say what you need to, instead of avoiding a problem. Conflict resolution is important. Stop evading. Use this New Moon to think about what you own and who you are. What do you believe in? If you want to find new sources of income or bring more abundance into your life, this lunation will help you!
Cancer & Cancer Rising
You were working so hard behind the scenes and now we are reaching a breakout moment. A New Moon is always a good time to start something, but when it falls in your sign, it is a whole new cycle that sets you up for a year. This New Moon falls in your 1st House turning your attention toward your individuality, motivations, identity and self. What keeps you going? Who are you and how do you show that to others?

This is a time for show and tell – show them who you are, and if they don’t understand, tell them. Make no mistake, you have the floor. You ruler, the Moon, leads this New Moon, so your emotions may be heightened. Yet, there is such a natural energy around this lunation for you. You feel so comfortable here. Both the Sun and Moon are working well with Uranus adding some excitement into your life. Your support system and friends are showing up for you big time. Your dreams are big, and you don’t have to limit the scope of what you believe is a possibility. Venus will square Uranus, so don’t allow yourself to lose confidence in who you are and what you value. If you feel you are questioning your worth based on anyone else, then it’s time to examine who those people are. You can put yourself and your needs first and know that you are not selfish for it. Luckily, Mars and Venus, the cosmic lovers, will be move closer toward a conjunction. Mars will inspire you to act on what you know you deserve. Both can have your mind on money, and there is a chance that you could be opening up a new source of income or potential for receiving money into your life. Just note, Mars can also have you spending just as quickly as you receive. So, be mindful of your budget. Take control. You can form better habits and really renew your sense of worthiness, if you just allow yourself to. Use this New Moon to begin something new for yourself, first and foremost. You are undergoing positive changes that will set you up for a year. Like the Moon, these are all influx. So, don’t feel pressured to have it all figured out. You will have chances to re-evaluate and course correct. Until then, don’t be afraid to leap!
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
It is time to rest, Leo! The Full Moon a few weeks ago had you busy, and the last few weeks of aspects weighed heavily on you. Especially as most of the energy fell in tension to Mars in Leo. Now is you chance to slow down, as this New Moon comes sweeping in to cool things off. The New Moon falls in your 12th House, where you mind will be on completion. You may be working on wrapping up a project or bringing something to an end. You could also be plugging away behind the scenes or simply just feeling a bit run down. Whatever it is, the 12th House invites us to rest. There is a need here to let go and release tension and anything outside of our control. The Moon leads this New Moon, emphasizing the Cancerian qualities and the need for reflection for you. The ulna d Moon will reach out harmoniously to Uranus, who has been a troubled player the last week or so. Now, tensions subside and there may be surprising positive developments in your work or career life. It is seems that the project you are working on is directly correlated to you receiving recognition for your efforts. Venus does square Uranus, however. So be mindful of what is being presented to you. Venus is in your sign, so you have to know your worth. If you are being presented with an offer, make sure it is a reflection of your talents. Don’t be afraid to ask for your value. Mars will boost Venus over the next few days ensuring that you keep that momentum and confidence up! These cosmic lovers don’t meet often, so when they do it is a beautiful union. Mars is making you bold, while Venus is giving you tact. You have more leverage than you realize.

The New Moon in Cancer comes in to show you that your friends have your back. This is a time for mutual support. The best thing you can do is allow people into your life, and to connect and converse. The 11th House, where this lunation falls, also rules your hopes, dreams and wishes. So, a theme of this New Moon is about dreaming big and now allowing that to die. If you have a vision of what tomorrow can bring, use that to motivate you toward your future. The Moon leads this New Moon, reinforcing this message but also reminding you to connect with you emotional nature. Nurture feelings of optimism and blend that with your innate realism.

Venus will square Uranus, trying to create tension and maybe bringing your energy down a bit. You may not have clarity on whether or not your intuition is right or misleading.

Luckily, Mars comes to align with Venus over the next few days, renewing your confidence and pushing you to trust yourself. We all have self-doubt, but don’t let that hold you back. You could be working hard on projects that people don’t see. It may not be the right time to launch anything yet, but it is coming.

What this New Moon invites you to do is reflect on what brings you peace and play in life. You have to connect with that inner child and open yourself up to the fun in life. Let loose a little and relax your shoulders. If you have kids, this would be an ideal New Moon to connect with them. If you are looking to conceive, this New Moon is good for that, too. Of course, this isn’t just conception of human life, but also a conception of an idea or even a romance! The 5th House rules creation, and that is creation of all kinds.
