Cancer New Moon Miniscopes
Cancer New
Moon Miniscopes
The Renewal.
The New Moon falls at 14º Cancer, 6:57 PM ET on July 5th. The Moon comes home, back to its position where it feels most comforted and nourished by the soft energy of Cancer. We can let the waters rush in to cleanse us and prompt us for a new beginning. 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 fresh starts and a reorientation of our internal and external worlds. 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. This is especially true as both the Sun and Moon square Jupiter. We must understand what keeps us limited or bound before taking steps outside of ourselves.
Mars and Saturn connect with the New Moon, creating supportive aspects. Saturn is newly retrograde, so we are reworking and re-evaluating. With these two working together, they help to deconstruct what holds us hostage and create new pathways of revitalization. The Mars/Saturn sextile is a doorway toward intentional action and mindful movement. Whatever we begin now will have long-term impacts with a slow, but attainable, build. Venus also comes in with a harmonious aspect, creating more ease and softness now. It seems the battle between blazing new trails and remaining comfortable isn’t a battle at all. Instead, all of these planets work in tandem. Because we create comforts, we feel inspired to explore, quest; from this, everything else begins to steadily bloom in our lives.
Mercury and Jupiter add to the ease of this lunation through a lovely sextile. Jupiter speaks through communicative Gemini to tell us a story of how support, relationships, and community come to aid us in our time of need. Growth is steeped in who we know, who we connect with, and how we co-create. The more we are willing to share, the more we will succeed. Mercury will keep us in check and provide us a space to speak more freely and openly about how we feel or what we need. This is the remedy that we need right now.
Since this New Moon is the half way point between eclipses, we are in a pivotal time of change, culmination, and resolution. Use this time to assess what has come to light since April, looking at how you can move forward now. Evaluate your sense of security, and who or what you turn to in your time of need. Who is your home? What brings you safety? These things create the backbone of your next adventure.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 9º to 19º, 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! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
This New Moon rushes in to pour water over you and soften your energy. 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 — but it doesn’t come without obstacles. You may feel things changing around your family dynamic or even in your home life (buying, selling, redecorating, renting, etc). New Moons are opportunities to plant seeds, and if you have been unhappy with something, then now is the time to make some changes.
Key players at this lunation are Venus, Mars, and Saturn. Mars and Saturn sextile one another and harmoniously link up with the Sun, Moon, and Venus. All of these planets come together to push things through right now. This is the half way point of the recent eclipses, where we are seeing pivots, shifts, resolutions, and new developments unfold. The Taurus/Cancer sectors of your chart are the most activated right now. This creates some desire to go within and have your values connect more with your sense of safety and your spiritual life. If you have been trying for a change in your resources, the Venus/Uranus sextile in particular could prove to be helpful.
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. Find time this lunation to nourish yourself.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
Life probably feels a bit chaotic lately. There has been many ups and downs, especially with eclipses, Jupiter’s shift into Gemini, and Uranus continuing its stay in your sign. To add to this, Mars isn’t far behind, ready to link up with Uranus. 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 — and perhaps are heightened. 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.
There is a lot of cosmic activity right now, as Mars and Saturn sextile one another and reach out to the Sun, Moon, and Venus. A majority of the planets are all interacting, and quite harmoniously I may add! You currently are hosting Mars and Uranus in your 1st House, adding to the desire to get things done and moving. You are more motivated than usual and can witness your energy levels surge. With Saturn so supportive, this can also create some stabilizing impacts in your life, especially through the guise of a lending hand. Venus, your ruler, brings with it softness and ease. In particular, community, friendships, and those closest to you are the most supportive.
Use this New Moon to really leverage your voice. Get in touch with those around you and share what is on your mind. Write things down and find ways to deal with the busy life you are surrounded by. Try to quiet those voices in your head that hold you back and seek help for any anxiety you may be taking on or hold. Perspective is everything. You need to see things a little differently in order to get ahead.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
With Jupiter in your sign, you could be feeling a need to grow, try, and explore more. You are craving newness and reaching beyond the horizons set before you. We had a Full Moon earlier this month had your mind on others, shared experiences and connections – but now this New Moon will change that. You will be more focused on self-reliance and your personal 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, but it won’t come without work. I think it would be best to 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.
There are a host of planets are positively interacting with one another now. The Sun, Moon, and Venus all connect with Mars and Saturn. This alignment is highlighting a need to stabilize and build on the security that stands before you. You may have some changes going on that require you to have a bit more faith or trust, allowing that be a motivator more than anything else. Saturn in your 10th House is also welcoming some notoriety or visibility. You are reaching a pinnacle in what you bring to society right now, even if parts of it are under review. With Saturn trine the Sun, Moon, and Venus, you put your values forward and use that as your guiding light and a testament to your success.
Use this New Moon to get a handle on your resources, material and otherwise. Figure out how to spend your energy– and on what. See what potential opportunities arise around money and try to network with people to see if newer clients or work can come up. Comb through the things you own and purge what isn’t good for you anymore. Get your finances in order. But above all else, focus on how to call back your power, your self-worth and your potential. You have to let go of what stands in the way of you seeing your true value.
