🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♌️ MERCURY SQUARE ♉️ JUPITER (11º) 5:48 AM PT
We have an urge to make big plans when Mercury squares Jupiter during this new moon. This transit can bring a burst of positive thoughts and words, but it can also make us prone to overthinking or speaking spontaneously. Beware of blurting things out! A downside of this tense 90º angle is a tendency to overlook details and only see the big picture. We’re more inclined to share our ideas with others now, but we might be overly optimistic in doing so.
🌑 NEW MOON IN CANCER ♋️ (24º) 11:31 AM PT
Nurturing a new chapter of life.
The New Moon in Cancer offers an opportunity to let our intuition lead us into our next chapter. Like a new mother trusting her instincts, we can nurture new endeavors with the same inner authority. Simply be-ing in the light of the long summer days can create the emotional space needed to listening to our body. Listen to the ebbs and flows of your own waters. Emotional awareness is our superpower under this moon.

♋️ NEW MOON SEXTILE ♉️ URANUS (22º) 6:00 AM PT
We begin this Moon Day under a supportive sextile between the moon and Uranus, giving us a boost of excitement and anticipation about the new chapter we’re entering. Insights and innovation are possible today.
♋️ NEW MOON CONJUNCT ♋️ SUN (24º) 11:00 AM PT

♋️ NEW MOON TRINE ♓️ NEPTUNE RX (27º) 4:00 PM PT
A harmonious connection between the moon and Neptune amplifies our intuition and enhances our psychic sensitivities. It feels natural to trust our gut instincts and lean into our sense of trust and belief now. Magic and miracles are possible too!
♋️ NEW MOON OPPOSITE ♑️ PLUTO RX AND SQUARE ♈️ NORTH AND ♎️ SOUTH NODES (29º) 8:00 PM PT
The new moon exits Cancer with a bang- opposing Pluto and squaring the Nodes of Fate. This Grand Cross plays out at the 29th degree, creating an energy of agitation, restlessness, and transformation. Power struggles and intense emotions are in the forecast, but whatever discomfort arises is here to push us along the path of our destiny. Trust in what’s crumbling to make way for what is meant for you.
🌒 WAXING CRESCENT MOON ➡️ LEO ♌️ (9:40 PM PT)
The waxing moon in Leo invites us to step into our confidence as we begin charting the course ahead. In the moon’s phase for planning, preparing, and visioning, our creativity is our superpower. Leaning into playfulness, passion, and joy can show us the path of least resistance.

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
Our intuition is our guide under the New Moon in Cancer. With the moon in her home sign, we are invited to come back home to our own bodies and trust the messages we’re receiving from within. Like a mother with a newborn child, we are encouraged to be gentle with our new ideas and creations, slowly tending to them at a comfortable pace. Supportive aspects to Uranus and Neptune help us look to the future with trust and envision the possibilities. But it will be tempting to make big plans or overthink as mental Mercury squares Jupiter! Ignoring details or speaking out of turn are possible side effects. The new moon completes a Grand Cross with Pluto and the Nodes of Fate tonight, marking a powerful turning point in our transformation. Intense emotions or interactions could force us along the path of our destiny. Trust in what’s unfolding.
