New Moon in Cancer July 15, 2015

Another time for new beginnings and time to think about what you would like to manifest into your life. The New Moon gives us all an opportunity to wish our biggest wishes and dreams and send them off into the Universe so that they may boomerang back to us in the physical.
This New Moon in Cancer comes at a higher emotional price than most as Cancer tends to be overly mothering, clingy, manipulative and needy. They are homebodies and they like to be comfortable; when they are not feeling all cozy and warm, they turn into grumpy curmudgeons and hide away in their shells. This New Moon will amplify all Cancer tendencies in everyone as Cancer is ruled by the Moon.
Compound this Cancer New Moon with Saturn and Chiron retrograde in Scorpio (another Water Sign) and Venus retrograde on the horizon, there will be much emotional upheaval and subsequent healing in the coming months. Scorpio rules the darkness, our secrets, things we covet, our sexuality and the underworld. Things that you have kept hidden will surface and you will be forced to face them head on so that Chiron (the wounded healer) can rid you of these demons once and for all. Venus’ retrograde will only add drama to all of this and there can be some intense conflicts amongst lovers, friends and relationships of all types. Any repressed feelings of unbalanced and shaky relationships will not make it through this period and all for the better I say. We will feel these struggles through the end of September.
Mercury (the communicator) in conjunction to Mars (action) in opposition to Pluto (underworld, secrets darkness) in Cancer will have us acting on what we have been mentally contemplating for some time. We will no longer be putting up with any manipulative, controlling, secretive and oppressive behavior from others. It is time we put our foot down and take an affirmative stand for ourselves for our own wellbeing.
The time is tonight and the next 24 hours to set your intentions on how you want to change your life, rid yourselves of what is holding you down and holding you back. This New Moon is giving you the opportunity to go deep within and be honest about how you feel emotionally about your closest relationships. What or who no longer serves your higher purpose and wellbeing in this moment? Now is also a good time to take a look around your home and assess how it looks and how it is making you feel. This New Moon is all about your emotional wellbeing. If your home is in need of decluttering, cleaning and sprucing up, that is a clear sign that you have some deep seeded emotional issues that need cleaning up as well. When you clean, declutter and spruce up your home or your space, you will feel better about other aspects of your life as well. Start small, start big, just get to work and put yourself into action now. Start with the space that you spend the most time in (most of the time that is your bedroom). The bedroom should be a tranquil and relaxing place for you. Your kitchens and bathrooms should be spic and span as they play the biggest part of your physical health and wellbeing. The living areas are where you welcome family and friends; a quick sprucing, some new throw pillows and a good airing out will be sure to show them some love. Light a candle or two and give thanks to the New Moon for everything coming your way and everything leaving that no longer serves you.
I wish you all a very happy, healthy and balanced New Moon! -KMcG
