For your Sign (or house location if you know it) for the New Moon in Cancer (14º23’):
Aries
(4th House) The New Moon in Cancer each year, is when Aries is focusing more closely on home and the personal foundations of your life. Those people and things that support you: Home, Family, those people who feel like family, and those things that bring a sense of belonging. Things that you might want to cultivate or seed with this New Moon might be: establishing new roots, or deepening your connection to your roots and ancestors. That can include deepening your ties to family members, and improving your relationships with them. Perhaps the focus can be on improving your home environment, looking for ways to make it more comfortable, or even, when appropriate, looking for a new home. This is when you are being asked to attune yourself to your inner needs. To retreat into the healing waters of the Cancer New Moon, perhaps by creating a sanctuary within your own home, where you can find peace, safety and security. This will then give you the strength to march back out into the world later on, and meet it on its own terms. New Moons are about new beginnings and for Aries that can include: New beginnings concerning home and family; Nesting; Making your home environment more personable or comfortable; improving relationships with family and/or parents; and finding ways to celebrate the significant events in your life that have led you to where you are now.
Taurus
(3rd House) Use the New Moon in Cancer on Friday to turn your focus within, in order to find inner refuge and sanctuary. You will be grateful for the opportunity to do so. For by purging your mind of extraneous demands, you will see more, notice more, and feel more. Your ruling planet, Venus, also in Cancer, will make a gentle, but creative, aspect to Uranus which is currently in your sign, as well as a supportive trine to transcendent Neptune, which is now in its retrograde phase. The sign of Cancer craves familiarity, but the transit of Venus to Uranus will open you up to possibility outside of your usual realms. Sometimes all that is required is to look at things from another perspective, which in turn can open you up to all sorts of creative and innovative ideas. New Moons are about new beginnings, and with the New Moon in Cancer, that can include doing things like: beginning a new class, or wanting to learn more about a particular subject; perhaps learning more effective ways to communicate with others. It can also point to becoming more involved in your community or neighborhood, and wanting to get in touch with siblings or old mates. This is a great time to start a journal, or make a commitment to cultivate the sort of environment that will allow your mind and your imagination to grow and thrive. A good intention for this Moon might be: May I create a sanctuary of peace, safety and security within my own mind.
Gemini
(2nd House) This is not a week to hide away. Go out and be inspired. Say yes to invitations. Connect with others. Connections with others of all sorts are favored this week. However you will not want to ignore the behests of the New Moon on July 5th. The New Moon in Cancer each year, is usually a time for Gemini to explore all of their priorities. This definitely includes all of those practical priorities, such as coming up with a realistic budget, but it can also be about connecting to those personal priorities that are most meaningful to you. And that can include cultivating certain important relationships. New Moons are about new beginnings, therefore you might want to ask yourself: What steps can I take to be more financially secure? What are the things I need, and what are the things I can do without? It is also a time in which we are being asked to build confidence, self-esteem and self-worthiness, asking: how well do I value what I have to offer to others? And how well do I feel valued and appreciated by others? Things you might want to focus on with this Moon might be: creating a budget or financial plan that you know you can live with; figuring out how to make your current budget more sustainable; making yourself more financially sound; and looking for ways to create greater security in your life.
