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. New Moon cycles are the beginning of an Astrological Cycle that happens once a month. New Moon cycles are a great time to “start” a new project or initiate a new behavior or activity. This cycles 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. This means the Full Moon will be in the opposite sign – Capricorn. The Full Moon will be on Friday, July 31st. When the Sun is in Cancer and the Moon is in Capricorn, (its opposite sign), we have a Full Moon.
A New Moon always starts with both the Sun and the Moon in the same sign, and 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 cycle. The best way to work with the moons cycle is to start projects on the New Moon, and finish projects on the Full Moon.
New Moon = Start. Full Moon = Finish. That translates to: Start on July 15th. Finish on July 31st. Its that easy. And there is a New Moon Cycle every month.
The Moon governs the deeper emotional sense of our mind and our perceptions. This New Moon Cycle is in the sign of Cancer. This sign relates to; receptivity, nurturing, feelings, sensitivity and mothering energy.
Cancer energy is about the process of nurturing and feeling, and being receptive to what is needed at any moment….and what emotions are being expressed at any time that will reflect what is coming from the mind. Cancer’s are sensitive, emotional and empathic beings that help us to navigate what we need in life. It is through our ability to “feel” that we can heal.
This isn’t a cycle about hoping others will tell you what you need. This is a cycle about asking yourself what you really need and move with what you need from the inside – out. BE HONEST!! This is a powerful time of nurturing, and being emotionally honest. It is also about reflecting on how you feel, and making boundaries with others about your sensitivity to your needs. Are you capable of being honest with how you REALLY 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. By looking at your chart we can tell in 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 represent. If you know your own personal 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.
1st House – This is the house of the Self. This house represents your physical body, traits and characteristics. This New Moon Cycle is about internalizing what you need for yourself.

Find out what that is by going into your own feelings. What do you feel? What purpose do your feelings have?

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
