The New Moon In Cancer Tests The Depths Of Your Consciousness
Prepare to embark on an emotional rollercoaster as the July new moon in moody and sensitive Cancer invites you to dive deep into your subconscious terrain. It’s time to the intention to take better care of your emotional needs and to do so with self-honesty and total compassion as you adopt the role of being your own counselor and nurturer. On July 17 (or July 18), a new lunar cycle begins as the Sun and Moon unite in the Moon’s home zodiac sign. This lunation asks you to scope out the sensitive waters of your mind and reflect on pleasant and challenging experiences that are keeping you bound to the past. Embrace this opportunity to crack open any psychological patterns that limit your ability to open up, forgive, and let go.

Get real about how you feel
You'll find it easier to observe your internal process through healing introspections as spacey Neptune – the planet of transcendence, idealism, and illusion – applies its truth-revealing magic to the new moon. Neptune retrograde in Pisces encourages you to acknowledge your deeper feelings with self-honesty and alertness. Consider how you've become overwhelmed from absorbing others' feelings and the emotional impact that your wavering or unspecified boundaries have had. Growth awaits when you can see the truth of your projections.
Expect intense emotions
Powerhouse Pluto – the planet of transformation – stands off with the new moon as it retrogrades through stoic Capricorn, drawing your attention to the stagnated emotions that unconsciously govern your instincts. Your emotional intensity and moodiness may increase as Pluto forces your unobserved feelings and triggers into the light, testing the depths of your consciousness. Be kinder to yourself during the gentle yet profound process of emotional clearing and purging.
Embrace change
Liberated Uranus in Taurus remains close to the new moon, urging you to adopt a healthier emotional response when sudden and unexpected changes unfold in your environment. As you release and settle into this new lunar beginning, challenge yourself to create pleasant and beautiful memories to balance the painful ones that keep you fixated on the past. Healing familial rifts may, at first, seem triggering, but by working on yourself before tending to the foundations of your bonds, you'll be better able to handle challenges with empathy and care. The boundaries you fear will set you free and support a safer (internal and external) environment.
