This new moon is not your typical new moon to be manifesting directly or starting new projects. Mercury, the planet of communication, is retrograde (again) and it’s right next to this cancer New Moon on Tuesday July 14th at 5:44am EST. So with the sun and the moon in the same sign, it’s typically ideal to planet new seeds, but when a planet is retrograde, its energy moves inwards. So Mercury retrograde is asking us to reflect upon the past so that we can learn, grow, revise, and understand things more clearly. With it happening in cancer, which the moon rules, it’s highlighting themes around our emotions, inner world, private self, and anything that had or has a strong emotional impact. Including any emotions we suppressed or ignored. So if you’ve been feeling stuck, nostalgic, or emotional lately, it’s not just you. This energy is hitting strong but it’s giving you the opportunity to learn from the past so that you can manifest and create this next chapter with clarity wisdom and alignment. Pay attention to your emotions, your intuition, and ask yourself if the goals you’re working on in alignment with your soul or are they coming from an old emotional wound or outdated belief. Have you been feeling exhausted, emotional, or off lately? How has this energy been affecting you?
