Sunday, JULY 19

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Cancer. On this day before a New Moon, we should be winding down rather than revving up. Reflection is favored over innovation. It’s best not to begin a new project, relationship, or other significant initiatives during the Balsamic phase of the Moon, as it is a time of endings. It’s an excellent time to connect with or process what we’ve learned during the Moon cycle that is ending tomorrow. Today’s Moon is protective, warm, and cautious. We seek comfort and familiarity with a Cancer Moon, although this may conflict with our desire for new experiences as the Moon forms a square to Mars in Aries. We should make extra effort to respect and validate others when expressing what we need and want.
