The Super New Moon in Cancer
Astrology by Lisa Stardust
The Super New Moon in Cancer occurs on July 14 at 2:43 AM Pacific Time and 5:43 AM Eastern Time. The Moon is in close distance to the Earth, making its effects immense and intense. Being that the New Moon is in Cancer, we can expect the waterworks to flow and tears to fall.
Mercury retrograde in Cancer connects with the lunation, creating various emotions to emerge.
The Universe will ask us to focus on ourselves over the next few days. The New Moon shines a light on emotions, people, or situations we’ve been disregarding, but it's all in the name of personal evolution. Mercury’s moonwalk urges used to take a moment and reflect. Don't worry, though, if love truly is meant to land in our laps right now, it will find a way. It’ll be important to pair up with someone sensitive, insightful, and willing to give us the space we need to sort out our hearts.
If we run into insensitive behaviors from anyone during this time, take it as a sign to run (or crabwalk) for the hills. Take note of how much energy we are giving to them — if we are pouring more effort into the connection than we’re receiving, now is the opportunity to rethink the foundation of the relationship.
The other side to this energy is that we may take on a nurturing role within your friend circle. Tending to other people's problems might feel like an instinctual calling, but we’ll need to loosen the reins if people aren't willing to take our advice. If we’re not interested in catering to the needs of others, ww should use this time for ourselves.
The New Moon aligns with the fixed stars Castor and Pollux (yes, the duplicitous and dualistic twins). These aspects can also bring forth the temptation to gossip, which could ultimately send us in another direction. It won't serve us to participate in any mean-spirited rumors those around us might be engaging in, and getting involved could ultimately cause our egos to take a hit. Those who approach us better be in the mood to go deep, as the New Moon will leave us uninterested in games or folly. Mercury retrograde might tempt us to toy with someone, but it's best to stay in our lanes.
