Astro New Moon July 2024
Astro New Moon in Cancer 6-7 July 2024 @13:38 GMT
All hail & welcome to Astro: New Moon article. We have a New Moon in Cancer, the cardinal sign represented by a watery crab who carries its home on its back. We are looking at a New Moon which highlights Cancer traits such as home, nurturing, mothering given & received, empathy, kindness, sympathy, patience, creativity & emotional security. The New Moon is at home in Cancer & enhances all of these along with emotion, our past & intuition. The Moon rules Cancer so is very comfortable in this sign & this tends to be a good time emotionally. Having said that we must also take into consideration the other planetary players in the New Moon equation, which I will discuss later. For now, lets adventure into New Moon & all it has to offer us this July.
New Moon signifies the end of the old cycle & the beginning of a new cycle of phasing. New Moon is a time for new energies & intentions. It brings with it a surge of fresh ideas & new energetic modes for us to experience. With the Sun & Moon in conjunction, in the same sign Cancer, we can easily find balance & feel that we are ready to end old habits & ways & prepare for the new fresher ideas to flow & stimulate our senses in different ways. As New Moon’s go, we can intend to draw energies closer to us, this one is potent & extremely energetic so its a great time to write down intentions & think about the energies we really want in our lives.
Ask :
How do I wish to feel?
What kind of mindset do I want?
How do I wish my days to be?
Where in life do I need to improve?
How can I manifest this?
Write down intentions.
Cancer is a cardinal sign of the watery crab. The crab carries its home on its back & home surroundings are very important to Cancer. It represents the home, home security & personal comfort in addition to nurturing & offering space & service to others within that realm. This water sign encourages us to surrender to the gentleness of its ebb & flow. The most common traits of Cancer are practicality, helpfulness, patience, compassion, nurture, romantic, sensitivity, creative, home family, femininity & flow. The qualities to watch out for such as the not so good reflection of Cancer energy are gossip, isolation, uncommunicative, over sensitivity, moodiness, cliquey, passive aggression. If you experience any of these symptoms of imbalance skip the vibe by retreating & going straight to self care, be kind to yourself & know that you are not alone.
The moon rules cancer so is very comfortable here with Cancer energies, particularly those along the more healing route. Emotional healing is on offer if we can release & let go of whatever we feel is binding us to the mundane. In this way we can experience the real magic of emotional healing. In addition, this is a good time to make a pledge to the positives of the Crab, such as honouring the darkness within, the innermost feelings; acknowledging the safety & security we have in our homes; accepting help where & when needed & offering help to others in service for a greater good; gaining emotional security from new sources rather than relying on outdated habits; beginning something new which in the long run will enhance the lives at home & of family. The potent energy of this Moon can have a long lasting affect on our lives, so is a good time to make important changes which will benefit us in the long run. As Cancer is at the midpoint of the Wheel, we can find ourselves entrenched into internal justifications in any of the cancer areas which are illuminated for us at this time. We could find a sense of security. At this point, it is also a good time to begin something new right from scratch, so working from inception to creation , in time for harvest & abundance within around 6-9 months. These are the points of the year in which our plans can really take root.
Planetary Influences at New Moon
There are a few aspects during this phase which could be of interest & influence. It all depends on what we are in receipt of from the universe & whether we recognise symptoms of these being played out in our lives. Again this comes down to what is brought to our attention.
Sun & moon conjunct means that they are in the same sign working together. So we can find balance within & In our external lives.
Sun & Moon square the North Node. The North node is a lunar node representing areas we may have neglected. These may have been playing out for us for some time & we may already be entrenched in something which has been causing us some pain, whether physically or emotionally. A square represents a hard aspect which means that there is tension in this area. There is a need here, to balance out the equation between too much & too little. Too much of this playing out causes us stress & imbalance .
Moon trine Neptune in Pisces. A trine will bring a sense of synchronicity. The moon in its home & Neptune in its home seems to represent the dreamy , imaginative & compassionate areas of ourselves. However, there is also the illusionary effect of Neptune to watch out for. Sometimes Neptune can create a mist around a subject or area of life, which makes it difficult to find clarity. Sometimes this is for our own good & other times is a real pain to deal with lack of vision. Have patience & all will be revealed.
Moon Trine Saturn in Pisces. Again, a trine means an harmonious relationship between the luminaries. With Saturn this can manifest as tasks needing to be done to achieve a good final result. Be mindful not to cut corners as Saturn wants everything done properly & will reward well if this is done the right way.
Moon & Sun loosely conjunct Venus in Cancer. This can represent our relationships becoming more intimate. This aspect also refers to any relationship with an other or finances. It highlights a need for intimacy & security whilst remaining autonomous.
Moon opposite Dwarf Planet Ceres in retrograde, in Capricorn. Ceres represents nourishment, resources & support. In retrograde this highlights a lack of all or one of the above. As Moon is in Cancer, this may create some heightened tension, which may make things seem a little beyond control. As Ceres is in Capricorn it is linked to last & next full moons in Capricorn. So this aspect will continue to play out for us over the next few weeks too. Government, institutions, power dynamics . This is a good time to change things up in terms of how we are affected by power dynamics in our own lives, how to go about making changes to this area to improve life for the better.
What's coming through for me is compassion, relationships, creativity, intimacy & forgiveness. These are my thoughts. There is a real sense of change in the air & its up to us individually to create a change which benefits us & those whom we surround ourselves with.
So we have come to the end of this Astro: New Moon cancer for July 2024. Time is flying, isn’t it?
My gratitude to you all for joining me on another cosmic adventure. I wish you all the best for the next two weeks & ask you to join me again for another Astro: Full Moon article on or around 20th July for a second full moon in Capricorn. Will all that has been playing out over the last month or so come to fruition or is it just the beginning of something much more awesome entering our lives? Join me to make some more astrological discoveries.
In love, light & all betwixt
