New Moon In Cancer
New Moon Wednesday, July 15, 2015, at 6:30 pm. —
Full Moon Friday, July 31, 2015, at 3:43 am.
Today we start a New Moon Cycle, and New Moon cycles are the beginning of a cycle that happens once a month. New Moon cycles are great to "start" a new project or initiate a new behavior or activity.
This cycle occurs when the Sun and the Moon are (both) in the same Astrological Sign. The Sun and the Moon are in the Astrological sign of Cancer, and the Full Moon will be in the opposite sign of Capricorn. The Full Moon will be on Friday, July 31. When the Sun is in Cancer, and the Moon is in Capricorn (its opposite sign), we have a Full Moon.
A New Moon always begins with both the Sun and the Moon in the same sign. A Full Moon Cycle happens when the Moon is in the opposite sign of the Sun.
What is a New Moon?
Every month we get the opportunity to feel the cycle of the Moon. The New Moon starts the process. The best way to work with the Moon's cycle is to initiate projects on the New Moon and finish projects on the Full Moon.
New Moon = Start. Full Moon = Finish. That translates to: Start on July 15. and finish on July 31. It is that easy. And there is a New Moon Cycle every month.
The Moon governs the more profound emotional sense of our mind and our perceptions. This New Moon Cycle is in the sign of Cancer, and this relates to; receptivity, nurturing, feelings, sensitivity, and mothering energy.
Cancer energy is nurturing, feeling, and receptive to what is needed and what emotions can and will be expressed. This energy will help you to reflect on what is coming from your mind. Cancer's are sensitive, emotional and empathic beings who help us navigate what we need in life. It is through our ability to "feel" that we can heal.
This current isn't a cycle about hoping others will tell you what you need. This cycle is about asking yourself what you need and moving forward with what you need from the inside–out. BE HONEST!! It is a powerful time of nurturing and being emotionally honest. It also reflects how you feel and makes boundaries with others about your sensitivity to your own needs. Are you capable of being honest with how you feel?
Where will the New Moon/Full Moon Cycle be happening for me?
The New Moon Cycle will be activating one of the 12 houses of your astrological chart. So, by looking at your chart, we can tell what area of your life you will be experiencing this New Moon/Full Moon Cycle.
Here is a brief description of what each of the houses represents. If you know your rising sign, I have put that sign in bold letters under each area to help you locate the houses where the New Moon cycle is. If you are using your Western chart, the ascendant is listed; first, your Vedic chart ascendant is listed second.

When I run after what
I think I want,
My days are a furnace
of stress and anxiety;
If I sit in my own place
of patience,
what I need
flows to me
without pain.
~ Rumi
