The New Moon in Cancer focuses passion on the home – your star sign’s tarotscope

The next New Moon is on July 17, in the sign of Cancer.

New Moons are a time for activation, initiation, creation, and go-getting ambition. It’s time to make a start on new adventures, goals, projects, and activity. You are brimming with energy and enthusiasm, so invest it wisely into something that will bring positive rewards.

This New Moon encourages us to activate personal goals that are truly, authentically heartfelt and stir us up emotionally. Be it something creative, home-ward focused, family related, relationship-related, or ethical.

Cancer is a very homely sign and they say that charity begins at home. So whatever your heartfelt desire is, start it close to home. Start it simply, locally, within reach, and make it work in your immediate surrounds first.

Concentrate on heartfelt desires, especially those linked to family and home, and use the next two weeks to activate something new and motivating which could become a long term pathway or project.

Let the tarot give you a nudge as to what homely magic you can manifest this New Moon.
