New Moon in Cancer – July 5, 2024
It’s time to dive into the emotional depths of Cancer Season’s vibes with the New Moon in Cancer on July 5th! This phase is all about fearlessly beginning long-term projects, exploring your emotions and creativity—and how they interact with each other—and opening your heart to share your passions, dreams, and ideas with those around you.
Mercury and Venus are in Leo, granting us extra boldness and confidence in our communication and relationships. And where the two intersect – romantic relationships and close friendships – you’ll likely see some beautiful transformation for the better. Neptune is also in retrograde as of July 2nd, and as the planet of spirituality and dreams, Neptune will help you tap even more into your intuition. What a great combo with the New Moon in Cancer!
This New Moon prompts us to shift to the concerns of the heart. While it’s always great to be logical and reason things out, we can’t be in that mentality all the time. Cancer Season helps us tune back into our hearts and personal magick—the crab is really good at cutting through the noise so we can listen within.
As the ruler of Cancer, the Moon feels right at home in this sign. Just as it reflects the light of the Sun, the Moon also mirrors our emotional states. This is why Cancer is often seen as an intuitive and emotional sign. It's important to remember that all emotions are valid, and it’s okay to express and feel everything. This New Moon in Cancer is a powerful reminder to embrace our emotional and intuitive sides.
Now is the perfect time to tune into your desires, set meaningful intentions, and visualize what you want to manifest over the next 6 or 12 months. The energy of the New Moon in Cancer supports this process, making it an ideal time to focus on your goals and aspirations.
For a more in-depth idea of what’s in store for you, here’s a breakdown based on your Sun and Rising signs:
