New Moon in Cancer – July 2021

The Technical Details / What Goals Are Calling You?

July’s New Moon falls on July 10th here in Brisbane (AEST) at 11:16am.

Look for where 18 degrees of Cancer falls in your birth chart for where a new beginning beckons.

The house shows an area of life where it would be good to set a goal this Lunar Month.

Goals related to family, personal needs, home and soul-nourishment are also well-starred.


Which Will You Choose?

Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) offer a chance to tune into your emotional state.

How can you create greater comfort and life balance as you move through July?

With Cancer as the sign in the hot seat, Security (financial, emotional, physical), Family Matters and Self-Nurture could be high on your list.

A growing trine to Neptune urges:

  • Allowing time to Assess and Percolate
  • The Heeding of Intuitive Nudges
  • Listening to One’s Gut
  • Discerning between Mindless Worry and Higher Self Guidance
  • Stepping into Another’s Shoes.

Let compassion arise – whether for yourself, others or both.

And that’s important, because Pluto’s opposition will likely bring intensity and potential power struggles this month.

There could be a lot of reactivity around – borne from defensive and self-protective outbursts, but the saying ‘You Can’t Fight Fire with Fire’ is apt.

Solutions, which serve both sides are the best ones and we’ve seen too much separation and stalemate these last two years to know that’s unlikely to resolve anything.

Try to see the reason behind another’s behaviour and you’ll likely be half way there.

Consider the difference between passion and anger – these two are often mixed up and yet they are very different emotional expressions.

And be honest about your position – are you looking at things subjectively or objectively?

Petulance is neither mature nor attractive.

Luckily the growing Venus/Mars conjunction pours a dose of diplomacy to soothe troubled waters.


Self Expression, Processing & Perspective

Take the time to tune into your needs and consider an Artistic outlet for your emotions.

Paint / Draw / Dance / Write them, as this will help with self-understanding, allow time to process them and prevent you from venting them at an unsuspecting target.

This is a good month to prioritise emotional well-being and uncover blocks to empowerment.

Childhood wounds could be at the bottom of that.

Is it time to seek out a counselor or therapist?


Decluttering & Water Therapy

Declutting Emotionally, Mentally and Physically may help bring clarity.

And Warm Baths (with flowers and essential oils) may calm troubled emotions.

As we approach the Full Moon in Aquarius on 24th July, fears around individualism, rejection & what it would mean if you truly admitted to how different you were may arise.

As always, clear accordingly and rise.

The Aquarian energy may bring a broader, more rational perspective, but be mindful of stubbornness and rigidity.
