This week has been about new beginnings, fresh intentions and initiating plans for our physical and emotional well-being. Perhaps you’ve decided to prioritize a health routine because you want to feel better in your body, or you’re being honest with yourself and your loved ones about some feelings that need to be addressed. Maybe you’re reorganizing your living space to bring fresh energy into your personal sanctuary. The new moon in Cancer on July 14 was an invitation to take care of yourself in whatever way you needed. Listening to your body is listening to yourself. What are you trying to communicate? We also have Venus in Virgo forming a 90-degree square to Uranus in Gemini. This planetary configuration represents a challenge between relationship and independence. You may receive surprising news from a lover about their hopes for the relationship. Perhaps a friend pulls an unexpected stunt that makes you question your friendship. Uranus always involves an element of the unforeseen, so whatever caught you off guard this week is offering you the opportunity to practice agency in your relationships. A choice must be made.
Here are your horoscopes for the Cancer new moon and the Venus-Uranus square. Read for your rising and sun signs.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
New moon, new you. You are reigniting yourself this week, bringing a fresh perspective and an energy of rebirth as you step out into the world. Consider this week your personal cotillion or debutante ball as you emerge fresh onto life’s stage. At the same time, your closest friends and siblings may be gnawing at your peace and quiet. You choose your priorities with a firm decision.
Leo
July 23 – Aug. 22
Alone time can be incredibly nourishing or incredibly challenging, depending on your relationship with yourself. Do you like your own company? This week is about forging a fresh connection to yourself in the quiet spaces. Listen to your body when you’re alone. There’s also the high chance you’ll encounter an unexpected expense this week coming from your friends. It’s your currency, so you decide what’s best.
Virgo
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Friends and social networks can very well be mirrors of ourselves. This new moon invited you to look in the mirror. Did you like what you saw? Perhaps you’ve ingratiated yourself into a new group, or doubled down on your relations with a fresh perspective. You are also being challenged to choose between your self-love and the independence your career provides. You are the architect here.
Libra
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Quiet repose and the call to adventure are very distinct and different modalities, and yet this is the choice you’ve been contending with. Do you choose the balance of loving retreat or the independence of grand exploration? Tap into what you truly need now. You are also getting a reset at work. Whether or not you are receiving a promotion, you get to show up as if you are.
Scorpio
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
The way we invest our time, energy and funds can either help us accelerate or hold us back. This week is about realizing whether you are free to chase your goals or if you’ve hampered yourself through your obligations. Where do your priorities lie? At the same time, you are setting the stage for a fresh adventure. Where will you go and what will you learn?
Sagittarius
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
One of the earliest lessons that we learn in school is how to share. The lesson doesn’t always stick, but it is still true that humans are beings who share resources. There are many different ways to do this: vulnerably sharing time and truth, investing in shared purpose, sharing food, etc. You decide how to share with others, and this week is a fresh beginning in that arena.
Capricorn
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
This new moon brings novelty in your partnership. You are starting fresh, whether with a new person or a new approach to a familiar person. How do you want your partnership to move forward? Simultaneously, there is an imminent challenge between your big-picture beliefs and the minutiae of your daily routines. Follow the beliefs that offer grace and the routines that offer freedom.
Aquarius
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
You need not keep doing things the same way. Even if you’ve been doing the same routine for years, if it is no longer serving you, change it up. This week is a fresh start when it comes to your wellness habits and your mundane routines. You also have commitments that challenge your creative outlets and joy. It can be so hard to choose, but your time is yours to prioritize.
Pisces
Feb. 19 – March 20
Play is perhaps the most important thing we can do for ourselves as humans. We are thrown into a wondrous world when we are born, and as we get older we are encouraged less and less to play in the magic surroundings of this planet. This new moon encourages you to be creative and play with fresh vigor. At the same time, there is a challenge between a partner and your home/family. Choose and communicate what’s best for you.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Reconnect to your roots with this new moon, Aries. This week is all about finding a fresh start with your personal space and the people you call family. Shake out the stagnant energy and begin again. What is your method of watering your roots? At the same time, your desire to stick to your routines is clashing with excitement and freedom being offered in your local neighborhood. What do you really need?
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
This week is a great time to start a new writing project, begin a daily ritual, or connect deeply with the people and places in your immediate surroundings. It is high time to do the familiar things differently. Money and creativity are not always the coziest bedfellows. You may have to choose between the financially prudent thing and the creative joyful thing this week. Which will serve you the best?
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
This week is a fresh financial start, Gemini. Are you applying to new jobs, starting a new side hustle, or monetizing a hobby? Perhaps you are realigning your personal values in a way that helps you understand your position better. At the same time, your personal independence is being challenged by the love of your family. What you sacrifice now is not gone forever.
