The month starts out with a gorgeous, cheerful new moon on July 5 in Cancer at 14 degrees. This new moon represents a cart blanche gift certificate sent to you from a loving universe.
Each month I give you various ideas of how to best use the new moon, but the new moon that arrives at birthday time is one you can use any way you please. Later in the month you will be thinking about a close romantic or business relationship, but for now, at this new moon July 5, and the 10 days that follow, it will be time to think about yourself and what would make you happy. If you want to plan a new chapter of your life, you can, and the new moon of July 5 would open a world of ideas and paths for you.
New moons come in all personality dispositions, some helpful and sweet, and some challenging and even grumpy or cross. You are lucky that this new moon in Cancer July 5 will be a peach and will bring you a plethora of opportunity and support.
Here is what I love about this new moon. Saturn will be elegantly “trine” the new moon and Sun, both in Cancer, on July 5—a sublime aspect. Saturn will add a sense of security, confidence, and aura of calm for you. This could also smooth or boost a relationship with someone close, as Saturn rules your seventh house. This area of your chart covers serious, solemn, and committed relationships, usually sealed with a contract. Those relationships include the person you are married to, or dating in a strong, established relationship, or a business partnership or major collaboration.
