The Cancer New Moon
On July 10, 02:16 UK time we have the Cancer New Moon. The New Moon that plants the seed to happiness and belonging.
Cancer is the place within the cosmos that deals with deep emotional feelings, all that takes place within our internal worlds. It’s all we need to feel safe, secure and happy. It’s what provides us with a sense of belonging, it’s our home, family and origin point.
What is a New Moon?
A New Moon happens when the Sun and Moon join together in the night sky. Once they kiss and connect they plant the seed of all that will bloom over the coming few weeks to the Full Moon.
When’s The Cancer New Moon
The Cancer New Moon will always take place during the Cancer Season: From June 21 through July 22 of any given year. Seasonally Cancer falls under the season of Summer (in the northern Hemisphere), the time of year where all is alive and excitement looming. Cancer therefore represents the fulfilment of the stories we grew up telling ourselves about life. It’s the promise of happiness, doesn’t the summer make everyone more hopeful for all that could be.
What does Cancer represent?
Cancer in Astrology can point to our place of safety, the home or sanctuary that protects and nourishes us. It’s all we need in life to feel fulfilled, and emotional and physically safe. In truth it’s what we need to be happy, if you don’t feel safe on all accounts you won’t open up and express the magic that’s you.
When we get around to the New Moon in Cancer it points to the time of year for investing in your internal worlds. To honor your feelings, take heed of your intuition, to nurture yourself and protect and hold close those who are near and dear to your heart.
Moon the Planetary Ruler of Cancer
Cancer is governed by the divine mother planet, Moon. Moon is the luminary that represents our soul, memories, dreams and security. She, of course, is the feeling to all we experience in life. Moon is our essence, our past, who we are and where we belong.
Cancer New Moon
So, if New Moon’s are the fertile seeds being firmly planted in our lives. Then, Cancer is the unlocking of some deep forgotten part of self, that’s soon to manifest and grow.
Remember I said that Cancer is all that’s internal, it deals with our responses to the external experiences in life. It also deals with psychic revelations, the subconscious, and all that our intuition picks up on, that the conscious, rational mind doesn’t.
It’s not the New Moon where things are easy, emotions are messy and confusing. It is a New Moon for you to address all you’ve denied, those inner demons and the ghosts that still haunt you late into the night. It’s about cultivating a positive change, and the time to consider the stories you’ve been telling yourself.
Cancer brings the energy of a crab, calling you to shed all you’ve outgrown, it brings vulnerability. The energy requires moving towards your joy, facing your deepest insecurities and discovering truths that set you free.
What the New Moon in Cancer brings
During the New Moon, energy can silence your outer world, as your inner world gets louder. Emotions may rise, sensitivity can take over, as you’re called to listen and reconnect with yourself.
As she grows over the coming weeks we all discover things about ourselves, our lives and relationships that we were blissfully blinded to. We come face to face with our deepest darkest insecurities, and are called to face those vulnerabilities. It’s with these revelations you can initiate powerful changes in your life, your past doesn’t need to be your future.
It’s all a matter of priorities, putting yourself first, nurturing and giving yourself what YOU need. The Cancer New Moon is encouraging personal growth, for you to shed the expectation to stay the same and find safety in just being you.
It’s a new moon to honor your instincts, and all your intuition is bringing your awareness to. It’s about coming back home to yourself and making space for your own story evolution.
Now Cancer falls in different spaces for each sign so we can discuss what it means for you next.
Questions to journal, think and reflect upon on the New Moon.
What does safety mean to me?
What is the primary emotion I’ve been resonating with lately?
What do I need right now?
Why do I need that thing?
What would your life look like if you had it?
What are you willing to give to manifest it?
What daily activity could you do that'll bring you closer to your manifestation?
What daily activity takes you away from manifesting it?
What does the Cancer New Moon mean for your Zodiac Sign?
The Cancer New Moon falls in a different area of life for each of the 12 Zodiac Signs. I find the Ascendant to be most indicative as to what is being seeded, but you can check each of your personal astrological placements in reference to what they symbolise.
For Example, you can check your Sun Sign to see how it might impact your external world, like your career. You could check your Moon Sign to see how it might influence your personal life. Venus might be indicative of relationships, while Mars might be more about how it motivates you, and Jupiter how it inspires you.

ARIES: Sprucing up the Home & Family Storylines.
The Cancer New Moon activates your Fourth house of home, family and security. The Fourth house in astrology points to our roots, the place we became who we are.
The New Moon in the fourth house can signal a renewal taking place within our home, family or history. It can bring a revival of familiar karmic stories passed down through our ancestral line. On the opposite spectrum, It can turn the page to a new chapter within our family story.
The Fourth house New Moon is a time you’ll gain awareness of something you were blind to within the family, home or living dynamics. It can of course, point to bringing new things into home, sprucing the place up and cleaning house top to bottom. It asks the question, How can you improve your home and family life?
The New Moon here is where you restore the home with new energy. You may be clearing things out, moving things around or bringing new additions into the family and home. It can be the time of home improvements, purchasing new household appliances, purchasing a vehicle or inviting new members of the family into the home.

The Third house New Moon is a time when we’re all a little more active, busy and communicative. It’s generally a time where you’re learning something of importance, providing you a truth to something you’ve been looking for.
The New Moon in the Third house can boost your social media presence. It might be you’re sharing more of yourself, views and opinions now. It could also be that more people are noticing you, and what you’re sharing.
You could begin to find yourself venturing into new places and making new discoveries as the Moon grows over the coming weeks. It’s a time when your daily routine makes space to implement something new into it. You might change up the local place you go to get coffee, check your horoscope or even check the local news.
The Third house represents the places you go on a daily basis. So, a New Moon happening here is going to take you to new places, to make new discoverings and it could even bring you into contact with new people.
Essentially the New Moon is going to have you learning about a new subject matter and perhaps wanting to learn as much as you can about it. It might be as simple as there’s changes to your local environment and so you’ll be making detours and seeing things you didn’t know were there.

GEMINI: Your Assets
The Cancer New Moon activates your Second house of Assets, income and what you value. The Second house in astrology points to what’s yours. It’s what you need to sustain your life, it’s your voice, food, money, investments, family and sense of security.
The New Moon is helping you to improve your financial situation. To aid in manifesting and providing you with what you need. Are you taking good enough care of yourself? Are you feeding your body with nutritionally dense foods or putting superficial fuel inside your human vehicle?
What are you in need of and how can you get it? Are you asking for help or trying to do it alone? Are you wasting your time and energy on things that don’t provide value to you? Are you living by your own values?
The Taurus New Moon will provide you with the solutions you need, but you’ll have to meet the universe halfway if you hope to sustain it. It’s about putting yourself first and giving yourself what YOU need, separate from the others in your life.
It’s a new moon to help you establish physical security and utilize your practical abilities. It’s in service to providing you with what you need.

LEO:Divine intervention
The Cancer New Moon activates your Twelfth house of imagination, dreams and your past. The Twelfth house in astrology points to your connection with spirit, with self or your subconscious mind.
The New Moon will bring rise to something that’s been lying just beneath the surface. It could manifest in your dreams, a time of spirit communication or the signs could appear when you’re alone, resting or just before you fall asleep or moments after you wake.
The Twelfth house is a space similar to a haunted house. A place of curiosity, fear and the unknown. It’s another world, a place of your childlike wonder, hidden treasures, monsters in the closet and repressed memories locked away.
Something that’s been taking you away from, instead of toward your dreams will begin to haunt you. Raising your awareness of bad habits, thinking and memories that keep you stuck. As a way to free and liberate yourself from them.
The Twelfth house New Moon is about taking the time to heal, rest, and reflect on the journey thus far. Look at where you’ve been and where you’d like to go. It’s about beginning to purge, let go and release all that stands in the way of your happiness and fulfilment.
The Twelfth house New Moon will begin to bring your awareness to things you couldn’t see before. Secrets, mysteries, people working in the shadows at a cross purpose to what you’re trying to accomplish. It’s a New Moon that asks for you to be present in the moment, be present with a fear or whatever begins to unfold.
It can be a wonderful time to journal your dreams, to learn to mediate or take your spiritual practice to another level. Swimming, yoga, hiking and mixed martial arts could all be ways that could bring forth the answer you’re seeking.
New Moon’s bring new energy. The twelfth house, traditionally the space of endings, or undoings, is a space that can provide you with the tools you need, to overcome addictions, habits or activities that take you away from what you’re trying to manifest in your life.

When you have a New Moon planting here, you can be assured that what begins now will somehow aid in you reaching your goals. It’s bringing a new chapter in your occupational story. Something new will begin to occupy your time: a new project, a new member of the team, change in management or regulations.
The Tenth house is where we spend time, it’s what we strive for and it’s our responsibility and duty to society or the world at large. So, a New Moon here is planting seeds from aspects of this to grow and branch off.
Tenth house New Moon could signal an evolution on the role you play for the world. A new chapter begins as opportunities here begin to arise with the Moon growing over the coming weeks but manifesting something much larger by the time we enter Scorpio Season for the Full Moon that’ll activate the same space.
Essentially it’s the New Moon that brings you closer to a goal, success and accomplishment. Gaining recognition over something you do or accomplish is highlighted now.

SAGITTARIUS: Shine a little light on it!
The Cancer New Moon activates your Eighth house of joint resources, secrets and change. The Eighth house in astrology points to what you gain as a result of other people.
The Eighth house New Moon can open the door to having access to something you didn’t before. Being as the Eight house deals with other people's stuff, be it money, trauma, assets and family. It can connect to things like: loans, inheritances, alimony and connection through association.
The New Moon in the Eighth house, can point towards change in financial opportunity, as much as it can point to a change or unexpected event that takes place in the life of someone you’re connected to.
We don’t have control over the Eighth house, it’s a place that we become entwined in someone else's stuff. It can present the themes around transformations, change and sudden events because we don’t have control over those things. It’s a place of vulnerability, intimacy, trust, truth, secrets, fear and trauma.
The Eighth house New Moon is one that plants the seed of change in our lives. It’s a time where we can become aware of the baggage we carry with us as a result of other people. It’s a wonderful time to get a psychic reading, to see a therapist, or a tax accountant, hire a PI or seek out the truth behind something that feels off or suspicious. It’s a time to trust your instincts and investigate for the proof.
It could be a time to work through your fears, the things that create blocks and barriers around intimacy. Seeing a sex therapist, or a fertility doctor if you’re trying to conceive are all things that can be seeded now.
The Eight house deals with issues around control and power. How much do you give away and how much do you keep for yourself. Do you give people what they deserve or what you want to give? When we give abundantly, it comes from a good place, but over time if the energy exchange isn’t balanced we can begin to feel like we’re being taken advantage over.
It might be time to consider your power/control balance in your relationships. Consider what you think people deserve before you give everything and leave nothing for yourself.
It’s also a time when I warn people against con-men/women. The Eighth house is a space that is riddled with mystery and intrigue. It’s seductive, exciting and deals with privacy themes. It’s a space where the Sun begins to set and everything begins to get dark that we cannot see as well as maybe we’d like to.
Essentially the Eighth house New Moon says shine a little light on it! To investigate, to reclaim your power and step into the truth.

CAPRICORN: Making Promises!
The Cancer New Moon activates your Seventh house of commitments, relationships and intimacy. The Seventh house in astrology points to the others in our life: best friends, room mates, intimate partners, business partners, it’s those we make a commitment, promise to or sign a legal contract with.
The Seventh house New Moon plants the seed for new relationships, friendships, business partners, clients and contractual agreements.
The New Moon in the Seventh house is really pointing to a new relationship story about to unfold. It’s where you take things to the next level, you experience a new aspect or storyline to your connection.
When the New Moon takes place here it also connects to your Maternal Grandmother, Paternal Grandfather, Nieces, Nephews and your second child if you have any. It connects also to anyone with whom you share a mutual exchange and gain: like a doctor, green grocer, banker and so on.
The New Moon of course could bring in a new relationship altogether, it could present some new or important situation that takes place within the lives of those closest to you or have regular exchange with.
It might also present a new contract in the making, needing to renew a contract or commitment. It could present negotiations, lawsuits and other legal documentations that’ll need signing and agreeing to.

It’s what everyday looks like for you, the job you do, it’s the cleaning up after, organising and fixing issues.
The Sixth house New Moon is reminding you that health is the ultimate wealth, it brings into question your lifestyle, stress management and how you can improve your working or daily environment.
The New Moon in the Sixth house is going to plant the seed to a new and improved way of life. It’ll get you to establish a new lifestyle routine so you can ensure your health and wellbeing are taken care of.
The New Moon will show you the improvements that can be made but you’ll have to be the one to put them into action. Committing to healthy morning and evening routines have been known to prompt success.
It can of course be a New Moon to signal a new working situation, colleague, environment or job role in the making. It could point to new lifestyle and health regimens. It might even point to a new pet or animal you’re thinking of taking in.
When the New Moon plant’s it’s seeds in the Sixth house, it’s helping you to gradually improve upon your daily life. How can you make the daily grind a more healthy and happier place to be? How can you improve your health and way of life?

PISCES: It’s a Work of Frickin Art!
The Cancer New Moon activates your Fifth house of creativity, children and all you make. The Fifth house in astrology points to fun, pleasure and entertainment. It’s the space of procreation, what you breathe life into and raw talent/hobbies.
The Fifth house New Moon speaks of following your heart and making more time for the things that light your spirit up. The New Moon in the fifth house brings the conception of a new creation: new love, new business, projects, ideas, work of art or even a child.
The New Moon in the fifth house is the next chapter in your love story. It brings excitement, inspiration and pleasure in all accounts. It’s a time where everything is speaking with you, inspiring and guiding you to embody more love and fun in your life.
There’s something you have to share and now’s the time to share it. It calls for you to step into the spotlight, to share your truth, your story or work of art. It’s your time for you, to shine bright and to know that what you have to say or express matters. We all have a special gift to offer the world. It’s a gift that only you have, a way to share, do or express it that can inspire, aid or provide insight to the world around you.
Essentially this New Moon say’s “you do you, boo”, find the freedom to be who you uniquely are, and shine bright, no apologies.
