Sensitive and dreamy New Moon in Cancer, 10.07.2021

Finally, the dramatic eclipse period is behind us for this time!

This New Moon will take place in the sign of Cancer in the early morning of July 10 at 4:16. If you want to perform a New Moon ritual, it should be done within the first eight hours after the New Moon. For the wishes to be fulfilled or at least showing the first signs of ripening - give time until the next full moon, which takes place in the sign of Cancer (about half a year later).

The New Moon symbolizes new beginnings and it's a great time to start new projects or activities in the field that is dominated by the sign of this New Moon in your birth chart. New beginnings don't always have to be fundamental and life-changing, sometimes it can be just a new habit or thought pattern.

For example, if you have a Cancer rising or the Sun in Cancer, then Cancer will rule your first house and this New Moon will affect everything that is related to you - your appearance, your character, your personality. However, if you have a Gemini rising or the Sun in Gemini, Cancer dominates your second house, therefore your incomes and themes realted to your self-value and self-esteem, and new beginnings are encouraged in these areas.

Unlike the tense and fiery energy in the beginning of July, the New Moon in Cancer brings a slightly cooler mood. It seems to be only for a little while, but at least it makes it a little easier to breathe for a moment and enjoy the summer. Or at least it allows to give a dreamy and longing look into the future.

The New Moon makes a harmonious contact with Neptune in Pisces, which seems to cover us with a veil of dreams and longings. It can be inspiring and increase your imagination or creativity. At the same time you might have very vivid and meaningful dreams, which are worth noting and remembering, as they may have an important message for you. Intuition can also be hightened during this New Moon period, so if you are facing a dilemma, pay attention to your gut feeling!

Neptune can sometimes also bring along slightly drowzy or lethargic mood, so just allow yourself to be and don't overwhelm yourself with different activites. Given the current heat wave, this is definitely a useful tip.

The New Moon in Cancer brings forward our caring and protective, but also more sensitive and moody side. So try to keep your emotional waves under a little control, or if you've been holding your emotions somewhere behind a dam for a long time, maybe now is the time to release the tension and let them out.

You may also feel the need to retreat between the protective walls of your home and be completely alone, in your safe nest, or instead, you might want to spend quality time with your loved ones. Summer is an extraordinarily beautiful time for that!
