NEW Moon in Cancer, 08 July , 3:14am EDT

Nurturing Metamorphosis

We’ve let it all go from the last Full Moon in Capricorn upon the 23 June to now move forward in our emotions that wish to sensationally leap within the delicate energies of The Crab. While any given New Moon typically brings a fresh start to our feelings, bear in mind we are within the second request from our Messenger Mercury, who is not looking where he is going right now while retrograding in Cancer. Be cautious of signing important legal documents or engaging in initiations associated with any new beginning under this Waxing Phase. However, this lunation will still request the seed planting where Cancer domesticates and sympathizes within your Zodiac Pie, but we will still wait in pause to activate them.

The virtues of imagination, parenthood, and sensitivity are natural gifts of a Moon in Cancer. Instincts are well developed and active- as strong influences from our environments shape our feelings during this passage. The collective gravitates to a nurturing quality -urged to take care of whatever home and family needs are about- as time in nourishment of the soul is equally favored. Romantic idealizations, reliving experiences and cherishing moments can all cozy up together as our Lunar Lady feels absolutely protected when visiting with the familiarity of The Crab.

New Moon, 08 July, 3:14am EDT, 16 degrees Cancer
As souls we can take this opportunity to bring forth what needs to now initiate in our lives –cautiously however under Mercury’s review- with emotion and spirit marking our moves. Take the next 2 weeks to plant those seeds that will, with proper intention, reap a fantastic harvest in the life further down the road. Visualize a gathering force as the Moon will travel from 16 degrees Cancer to where 0 degrees Aquarius’s energy falls within the birth chart. Even as Mercury is offering up review in Cancer, this half of your Zodiac Pie is ready for a fresh emotional feel to come into careful play throughout 22 July.

Moon Void of Course
7:44am EDT 08 July to 6:48am EDT 09 July
Moon VOC is the passage in where the Moon makes its’ last major aspect to a planet before entering the next sign. In essence, it is a time that is well advised to not take up in forward motion nor important decisions for the future. As we welcome our first waning moon of summer, when our New Cancer Moon conjuncts Mercury Rx at 18 degrees Cancer, another request to remain in reflection and review is still favored until it enters Leo.

For the Collective
While the new ideally wants to pour out from the Cancer area of our lives, we are still quite in the midst of Mercury’s offering for intense reflection here. As Mars enters Cancer 13 July, more drive and motivation will speak strongly, but make sure after 20 July -when Messenger Mercury will begin to move forward once more- is when the free-will chooses more wisely to proceed in forward motion from this area of the life, having the chance to truly fully breath.

This New Moon at 16 degrees, has a close conjunction to Mercury Retrograde itself, who will be over at 18 degrees of Cancer. These two compound numbers speak deeply about understanding the spiritual blessings within our lives, and recognize what must be reviewed within our view of the material. As the weight was forecasted of what the current calling of Mercury’s reflection would bring, this New Moon ask for anyone to move in the eye of any apparent storm that may be surrounding them. Only there, in that tricky navigation, will the ever patient SILENT LISTEN be able to be heard. A strong trine speaks as well from Chiron Retrograding at 13 degrees Pisces, who will innately relate the old wounds that speak within The Fishes that connect to the Cancer area of the life- and these will ask we look at the glass as half full so the proper healing of them can intuitively come through.

For the collective horoscope, again we offer some simple advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. Remember if you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice. However, it is the awareness and mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that will point to the accuracy of how the current planetary landscape affects you.

For the true astrology buffs, be sure to check the Cancer House, in particular where the 16 degrees Cancer spot in your natal birth chart lives. (A natal birth chart is determined from the time of birth, which allows a more in-depth look to equally see where some pondering is ideally meant to unfold in how the planets uniquely affect you.) Whether the collective or individual vantage point, these are the areas of life that call for you to bring forth initiation and beginnings within the next two weeks to follow. Properly embracing the new and gathering up in these areas until the next Full Moon upon 22 July will plant energies in place for future use.

Aries: You’ve been in the review within the home, where I Nurture. Devote your curiosities to the family life and nest egg in the next two weeks, and watch doors begin to open wide. Those flashes of déjà vu experiences speak quite the psychic wisdom to you now. Time in your solitude makes the inner process work more strongly for you, so the messages come clearly what the new ways you are about to truly take care of your environments, will be ones that genuinely heal.

Taurus: Reassessments of all kinds of ideas and ways of how I Communicate has been reeling. Siblings and neighbors may be requesting your attention. Slowly get those feelers out there if you haven’t sought to publish what is churning from your mind, for it’s time to teach everyone now what you know about patience. Look to how the old memories with friends, groups as well as how your hopes, dreams and wishes ask to reinvent the deepest thoughts you had of them.

Gemini: Everything has been in reflection mode about possessions and your sense of what I Have. It’s been the time to change up the values of what you cherish, and your entire sense of security. Your earning power is also in the mix, which is urging to find something different to do anyway. Removing the unrealistic expectations within your career and public life, will allow you to break through and discover, there is something totally original and new just down the road.

Cancer: As the spotlight of renew and redo has been shining already on you this month Dear Crab, it’s time for those approaches and the mask you wear to the world to look very different, within the sense of I Am. Those first impressions you carry are asking for new ways to take them in about life, and it’s going to be assisted by a learning process you embark upon if you let it. There are old beliefs that you’ve carried for years that now ask to be washed away with the tide.

Leo: The re-examining of the deepest layers within your subconscious now reveal new mysteries to you where I Process. The truest sense of your soul is ready to reboot. Dreams have had a plenty to say, have you been writing these down? As change is ongoing within your inner world, you are off your natural stage for a pass. As you finally come to recognize the core transformation that is purging within you, it’s the last round of regeneration before you rebirth.

Virgo: It’s been quite the reflective pass about your friends and groups where I Socialize. Accept that unexpected invitation you will receive, which more than likely reconnect you to the past. Hopes, wishes and dreams have asked you to reconsider them all -keep these in the best intentions- as the Universe is almost ready to aid you in manifesting your requests. Removing all those wounded ways you’ve understood your partnerships, makes room for the best yet to come.

Libra: The career and public life has been asking you to reflect upon it all where I Structure. As you have been reviewing how to have more care and concern about what you do- you are gearing up to soon promote your work, equally noting a fresh attitude towards authority. This all has an interesting message to receive from how you serve to the world, as well as your routine and habits concerning your health. No longer will you be unbalanced here if you listen carefully.

Scorpio: Philosophies and spiritual quests have been rereading the entire score where I Believe. You’re no stranger to surrendering to regeneration, and this now serves you in mysterious and mystical ways.  Old educational pursuits come out as reminders. If foreign travel is not allowing a stamp on your passport, where you can travel to, even telepathically, is just as fun. Whatever your childhood taught you about your creativity, it’s time to shift into a space of healing within it.

Sagittarius: Investments and your wealth have been asking you to aim to a more open place where I Transform, but watch Mercury’s request to not sign important documents. Word about other people’s money benefits comes towards you easily, but still cross t’s and dot those i’s. Reviewing sexuality is another channel that asks for your honesty. When you tie it all in to knowing the ways you no longer need to feel wounded about how you nurture, your healing will find it has arrived.

Capricorn: It’s been a journey of reflection as of late in how your partnerships exist in your life where I Relate. Whatever communications misunderstandings our Messenger may be throwing your way, a new sense now asks to feel good about them. Know the regenerative process in your life has you in the right place. There’s a true calling to remove old thought processes that have only held you back up until now, so trust for once something new here will work for you.

Aquarius: You have probably loved bringing new life to the reinventing of your health, personal habits, and routines where I Serve, which has been full on. Adapting within your environment of serving others asks you don’t remain resistant. Have the pets also been in your reassessment space? Someone in need at the shelter may await. There is healing to continue within your sense of value, which will then bring in a refreshed knowing of what you have and how to cherish it.

Pisces: Your intuition must be in the midst of sensing it: the unleashing of that vivid imagination upon an old project that keeps you swimming in ultimately expressing yourself where I Create. New initiations about old things flow here, and children may also require your immediate focus. A love affair may have asked for rekindling. When you get the healing process completely understood from reinventing your first impressions to life, the world is so ready for the new you.
