Hello Good Humans!
The New Moon occurs at 21°59’ Cancer at 5:44am in New York, USA. It is a Super Moon. The aspect is a conjunction to retrograde Mercury, which is exact a few hours before the New Moon. New Moons are about initiation, beginnings and the new cycle of the moon. It is the time to start projects and plan your trajectory towards your goal. Plant now the seeds of future successes. New moons are more emotionally balanced than full moons and last for the two weeks preceding the full moon.
REFLECT, RETHINK, REVISE
The New Moon energy on its own is the right time to jump in and begin a project, however, with this one conjunct retrograde Mercury it’s best to reflect, rethink and revise your plans. It’s a time to do more research, get the facts straight and make the necessary adjustments and edits. It may be good to bounce a few ideas off of someone you trust on the subject. By blending the intellectual qualities of Mercury with the intuition of the New Moon you can find a middle ground that is sustainable to your project or plan. Mercury rules neighbors, siblings, commerce, short distance travel and the communication and connection of thoughts and ideas. With Mercury retrograde these can get skewed and may need to be fact checked or edited. However, the intuitive qualities of the New Moon can help fill in the gaps. That hunch or gut feeling will need to be followed up on. Timing and tech devices may also be a challenge. So, give yourself some buffer space to account for delays. There may not be any strong issues now but when Mercury starts its stationary and direct motion on July 23, 2026, it will be in a challenging square to Saturn, Big Daddy Karma. If you didn’t take the time to reflect, rethink and revise you will definitely run into challenges. Saturn does reward you for doing your homework and honest determination. So, take on the work joyfully and know it will pay off. On the actual day of the New Moon, later in the evening, the Moon moves out of cancer and into Leo where it will join up with Jupiter. Just after midnight they will be an active part of the Magic Triangle with Pluto, Uranus and Neptune. The Moon conjunct Jupiter in opposition to Pluto and may make you crave transformation and reformations NOW but take a slow and steady approach. Combining, creating, compromise and experimenting may still be needed. Whatever project you are working on, be sure to change a little, then step back and assess the results. Like a scientist, change one variable at a time and then see what happens. Those little tweaks can make all the difference and make a more completed picture of what you want to present. Make your intent to do a good job and not just get the job done.
