Subject: After Confusion, A Fortunate New Moon 🌚 Weekly Forecast & More!


Dear Stargazers,


There's a confusing and potentially disorienting influence on Tuesday (some will feel it as early as Monday), but the good news is that a few days later a fortunate new moon opens the door to new opportunities. Scroll down to get the details!

PLANETARY FORECAST

July 5 - 11


All dates are given in the Eastern Time Zone.


PLANETARY EVENTS


Jul. 07: Mercury leaves the post-retrograde shadow

Jul. 09: New Moon in Cancer

Jul. 11: Mercury enters Cancer


BEST DAYS


While there are other days during this time frame that are fine, these are the best of the bunch. What do I mean by the best? The energy is flowing, the moon isn't void and there's a greater likelihood for happy and/or productive outcomes.


July 5 (for routine matters; energy is lovely but the moon is void); July 7


BEST AVOIDED:


The energies on these days aren't favorable for new ventures or any activity where you want or need a definite result. If you must schedule something, you may have to think on your feet, or there may be a need for patience or flexibility.


July 5 (for anything that needs a definite outcome; it's fine for routine matters)

July 6, 10


NOTABLE ASPECTS


Jul. 05: Sun sextile Uranus


This energy supports fun, creativity and romance, but since the aspect is a sextile (potential, opportunity) some degree of awareness and action is needed to make the most of it.


Jul. 06: Mercury square Neptune | Venus opposite Saturn


This is arguably the toughest day of the week, and it's quite possible that some of you will feel the energy as early as July 05. Why is it so tough?


For starters, Mercury (ideas, communications, perception) is being squared (provoked) by Neptune (confusion, illusion deception), which increases the likelihood of misunderstandings and warns against taking anyone or anything at face value. If you must sign a contract or engage in any type of negotiations under this influence, be sure to pay attention, confirm details and get everything in writing.


At the same time, Venus (love, money) is opposing (confronting) Saturn (limitation, authority). Romantically speaking, this aspect suggests a relationship could be at a crossroads, which may or may not involve an ultimatum. Financially, this can also signify a crossroad, which may or may not involve a rude awakening regarding one's earnings, savings or ability to move forward with a purchase or other money-related objective.


Whether it concerns a relationship or money, you can expect the Mercury-Neptune square to cast doubt, promote uncertainty and muddy the waters. That's why ideally it would be best to put off any important decisions or conversations until tomorrow.


Jul. 08: Venus square Uranus


It's easy for romantic sparks to ignite under this influence, but whether it turns into a lasting union or burns out quickly is another question. While it will be fun while it lasts, unless there are strong (stable) relationship transits going on in your chart now, the odds are the object of your affection will be Mr. or Ms. Right Now. If you're in a relationship that has become complacent or routine, this influence can inspire you to change things up and reenergize your union.


On a different note, if you happen to be shopping today, this influence is known for promoting impulse purchases so you might need a bit more self-restraint than usual.

NEW MOON at 18°02' CANCER

July 9, 2021 | 9:17 PM EDT


As the natural ruler of the 4th house, Cancer presides over home, family and real estate, which is why the energy of this new moon is perfect for intentions and fresh starts connected to these life areas.


It may be as simple as redecorating or planting a garden, or it could be as complex as purchasing a new home or developing a piece of land. For some, a new chapter could begin in the form of an addition to the family through a birth or a marriage.


On a different note, since Cancer is a naturally protective, devoted and nurturing sign, the energy of this new moon supports nourishing yourself. If you spend a lot of time putting others first or put in so many hours at work that you have little time for yourself, this new moon can inspire you to consider your own needs and take steps to meet them.


Since the new moon sextiles Uranus, it suggests that new beginnings at this time could bring a greater sense of freedom in some area of your life.


Getting Personal


So which life areas are being targeted in your life for a new beginning? They're revealed by the horoscope house that's hosting the new moon in your chart. If you don't know which house holds 18°02 Cancer in your horoscope, you can refer to the list below to find out where the new moon falls in your solar (sun-sign based) chart.


If your Sun sign is:


Aries, it falls in your 4th house (home, family, real estate, parents).

Taurus, it falls in your solar 3rd house (siblings, neighbors, short trips, cars, contracts, negotiations.)

Gemini, it falls in your 2nd house (income, spending, personal values, self-esteem, tangible assets).

Cancer, it falls in your 1st house (your physical body, attitude towards life).

Leo, it falls in your 12th house (spirituality, creativity, mental health, addictions).

Virgo, it falls in your 11th house (groups, associations, hopes, casual friends, colleagues).

Libra, it falls in your 10th house (career, fame, status, reputation).

Scorpio, it falls in your 9th house (education, law, religion, foreign and long-distance travel, publishing).

Sagittarius, it falls in your 8th house (intimacy, shared resources, other people's support, birth, death, estate matters).

Capricorn, it falls in your 7th house (marriage and all one-to-one relationships including best friends, adversaries, business partners and clients).

Aquarius, it falls in your 6th house (health, work, pets, diet, nutrition).

Pisces, it falls in your 5th house (romance, children, creative self-expression, entertainment).


MANIFESTING WITH THE CANCER NEW MOON


You can set any intention under any new moon but when it's in Cancer, it's especially favorable for:


Actions and affirmations to improve family relationships and domestic affairs; purchase, sell, rent or improve a residence, office or any other type of real property; find skillful caretakers, plumbers, obstetricians, birth doulas and landscapers.

TRANSITING MERCURY IN CANCER

July 11 - 27


An intellectual in every sense of the word, Mercury filters the world through an analytical lens and experiences life through the head.


In contrast, Cancer views the world through an intuitive lens and experiences life through the heart.


As a result, Mercury finds conversations under Cancer’s roof uncomfortable.


In fact, the airy side of Mercury feels like he’s drowning the first time he’s drenched in Cancer’s emotions. However, once he catches his breath and realizes that his head is securely above the water, he’ll adapt to his environment. >>Read more.
