Friday, JULY 5

The New Moon occurs at 6:58 PM EDT in the sign of Cancer, inviting a fresh start. It’s a time for feeding our foundation — all that we call “home,” including the foundation we’ve built inside ourselves. It’s also a time for recognizing the importance of our family and our personal circle of friends and the security, sense of belonging, and safety we derive from them.

Mars forms a sextile to Saturn today, and we’re remaining grounded and conscious of the need to be consistent and work steadily toward our goals. This influence favors modest ambitions and a moderate approach. Thoroughness brings rewards, and we appreciate slow but steady progress.

This transit encourages a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness. It’s a good time to temper our energy, pace ourselves productively, and exercise better judgment. It’s also a satisfying time to get organized.
