Overview
If there’s one thing you should do upon the arrival of the Super New Moon in Cancer on July 14th, it’s to protect your heart — oh, and offer some TLC to your aura, too. With Mercury retrograde in Cancer shaping the lunation’s overall energy, our intentions might not be clear and our words misunderstood, making it a complicated moment for us all. While we will wish to make peace with yesteryear, we’ll also find it’s more effective and beneficial to do so in our own way. This is will be necessary so as to safeguard ourselves from an emotional roller coaster, which seems to be the theme of this summer so far.
Take note: Mercury retrograde in Cancer alters our perception and feelings during the New Moon. We’re cosmically called to reflect and reassess matters as we redefine our comfort zones. The caveat is that we might have different interpretations and views of our personal history, while taking a stroll down memory lane. In this moment, we may find ourselves reaching out to people from our past to check in or confront the past, which will reopen wounds.
It doesn’t stop there either because Mercury retrograde in Cancer is actively reaching out to Venus in Virgo, telling us to act compassionately. During this time, it’s be vital that we consider the effect we have on others, and the impact they have on us before sending an email, DM, or text. Sometimes, it’s best to leave things alone instead of stirring the pot. Being aware of boundaries is key to ensuring we don’t overstep in an attempt to gain their attention. To put it simply, only reach out for the right reasons, not to satisfy and gratify our egos.
The day before the New Moon (13th), Venus in Virgo squares Uranus in Gemini. The significance of this astrological transit is vast as it imbues the lunation with uncertainty about the future. It also urges us to break out of patterns and situations that are holding us back from growing. Venus shares a minor connection with Neptune retrograde in Aries and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius on the 13th, causing arguments as we take back our individual power. The road forward may be unclear, but we want to heal ourselves and mend our hearts by boosting our confidence and releasing repressed sentiments.
By comparison, the astrology for the day after the New Moon (15th) heightens the Uranian factor in airy Gemini through a paltry frustration with Mercury retrograde in Cancer, and a harmonious rapport with Neptune retrograde in Aries. The overall vibe of the 15th keeps the conversation from the 14th going, giving us the alternative of letting the issues go and resolving themselves or continuing to pick and assert our opinions. The drama is far from over unless we choose to believe the tale being spun and stop searching for the truth.
