July 14, 2026 at 2:44 am PT is a new Moon in Cancer. Water sign Cancer rules the 4th house of motherhood, home, and ancestry. Cancer is ruled by the Moon, making it easier to be adaptable, in touch with your emotions, and able to trust your intuition. The new Moon, Sun, and Mercury are all in Cancer to communicate both thoughts and feelings. Contact me for your tarot reading or astrology forecast for clarity.
Mercury is retrograde until July 23 so it is not the best time to initiate new projects on this new Moon. Instead, completing projects, slowing down, and taking care is the theme for this lunar month because this new Moon begins the month of the Wood Sheep. Kind and sensitive Sheep correlates to the Western sign Cancer. The element Wood brings potential for steady growth, like a sprouting plant. The next lunar month starting on an eclipse on Aug 12 will begin Fire Monkey month. So use this precious Sheep month to catch up, balance your health, and focus on home and relationships.
Relationships can use some tending because Venus in Virgo squares Mars and Uranus in Gemini. Relationships could be unpredictable, or differ from your expectations. There could be impatience with loved ones, a need to assert your individuality in a relationship, or a sense that you’re giving too much while receiving too little. Although a healthy relationship will not have too many difficulties, even a stable marriage could experience a period of readjustment that brings fresh understanding.
Fortunate trines of Jupiter in Leo trine Neptune in Aries, and Uranus trine Pluto in Aquarius, can bring idealism, a humanitarian outlook, and deeper perceptions. There can be increased optimism, self confidence, and hopefulness about the future. You can separate from issues in the past to create new interests and new ideas that increase your scope of experience.
Creating time to heal, rest and digest, and cultivate soft Yin energy during this Sheep month is important for everyone, especially the Water signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces and those born in Sheep, Rabbit, Horse, and Pig years.
Happy new Moon,
Susan
