New Moon in Cancer - July 14, 2007

We have a New Moon in Cancer on Saturday, July 14th, 2007, at 8:04 AM EDT/2:04 PM CET. This occurs at 21 degrees and 41 minutes of Cancer. It will significantly affect people born with Sun, Moon, or Ascendant between 20 to 24 degrees in Cancer, Capricorn, Aries and Libra.

This is a good time to make new beginnings, as it is with every New Moon; this one is good for new beginnings in the area of personal goals that symbolize the nature of Cancer the Crab. This includes family and home, nurturing, improving our relationships with our parents but mothers in particular, realizing what makes us feel insecure or secure. We must focus on whether our fears are rational or irrational and which is the best thing to do to face the world and our relationship with true courage, not false bravado where we jab at others and run back to hide in a shell we build around ourselves. We also must guard against being crabby and picking at the ones who love us, trying to keep them away from our true hearts (or prevent them from uncovering the things we have been dishonest about in relationship to that person!) We must focus on honesty and that means telling the truth in al ways (because hiding facts is lying through omission and is just as bad as outright lying. We must be honest with ourselves and with others. It will give us the intimacy and security we desire because we never need fear losing what we have because a lie we told or truth we hid might get exposed. .Since it is a time of new beginning it is a prime time to start a new project that can improve your family, home and general domestic life: start a scrapbook, write a story, have a special lunch with some family members etc. You will reap the rewards of this New Moon in Cancer in the month to come as this New Moon trines Uranus. The rewards could come in an unusual form, but stay open to the surprises for they can bring you good things. There is also another event helping you along with this energy, and that is Venus in Virgo, which also begins today.
