The New Moon in Cancer takes place on July 16, 2015 at 1:24 am UT/GMT. This New Moon balances the demanding energies of Saturn in Capricorn with Cancer's emotional nature. Cancer is symbolized by the crab, octopus, and dragon, representing different aspects of protecting emotions, nostalgia, and defending loved ones when threatened. The month will see intense high energy under the Cancer sun with drive, ambition, and opportunities if space is left for compromise. People will be emotional yet avoid conflict, maximizing potential.

1. The New Moon in Cancer takes place at 23º Cancer
14’4” July 16, 2015 at 1:24 am UT/GMT.
This is where the extremely demanding energies of
Capricorn’s ruler, Saturn, “the way-shower,” has to
balance itself out with the three different
The crab is the mask we wear to be
accepted and loved in our communities, but when

2. you are mobile you can look at the “crab-shell” as
being a “motorhome.”
The octopus is the nostalgic part of Cancer that has
a hard time letting go of the past. These loving
tentacles of loyalty will alway remind you of how
welcome and valued you are but often get so
caught up in preserving the past that their hoarding
leaves no space for change in the present or the
future.
The dragon aspect is rarely seen with Cancer
natives unless someone very close to them is
threatened. Then all of that cardinal water boils to a
point that the emotional fury can scald an adversary
permanently.
Within the Cancer symbol, some will see the two
tomoe that create a yin/yang symbol or dragon
biting its own tail symbolizing eternity.

3. Some will merely see Cancer claws.
So as you go through July and the New Moon
remember Cancer’s role as “The Chariot” in the
Tarot. This month expect intense high energy,
although it may appear rather subdued on the
surface. You will experience a lot of drive and
ambition with a never ending hunger to move
forward with others while retaining your sense of
sovereignty and autonomy.
The biggest victories will manifest while you aim to
reach your objectives while leaving just enough
space for compromise and inclusion that

4. incorporates that, “go with the flow” energy Cancer
is known for.
You will have plenty of triumphs this month so
please do not be afraid to take on things even if it
appears that the odds are stacked against you.
People will be emotional yet compassionate under
the Cancer sun, while they will be doing their best
to avoid conflict and maximize on potential
opportunities. Keep your eyes open for unfocused
and scattered energy, food cravings that will
destroy your waistline, and any activity that
challenges your self-control and discipline. Be open
to unexpected travel plans.
The month ends on a fierce high note and a second
full moon in Aquarius (Blue Moon). Stay tuned for
an update by mid-July.
