After weeks of release and reflection, the sky finally hands you a fresh place to begin. The whole first half of this week builds toward the Cancer New Moon on July 14, the emotional new year of the zodiac and the most tender, feeling-based new beginning of the season. This is the moment to plant the seeds you have been quietly dreaming about, to set intentions around home, family, safety, and the way you nurture yourself and the people you love. Because Mercury is still moving backward through Cancer until July 23, this is a gentle, reflective new beginning rather than a race out of the gate. You are invited to plant with intention now and to return to these seeds, water them, and refine them over the coming weeks. As the Moon waxes through Leo, Virgo, and Libra, the energy slowly warms and expands, and by the weekend Jupiter, newly in Leo, begins sending out powerful ripples of faith and possibility. This is a week to begin softly, to trust what you feel, and to let your dreams take root.
๐ Sunday, July 12th
- Moon enters Cancer at 3:46 PM PT
- Mercury Cazimi in Cancerย
We open the week with the Moon returning home to Cancer, bringing us fully into the feeling based, nurturing energy that leads us toward the New Moon. This is a slow and tender day, perfect for being at home, caring for the people you love, and tending to your own heart. You may feel more sensitive and inward than usual, and that is exactly the point. The Moon is nearly dark now, in the quiet, reflective phase right before it begins again, so let yourself rest and turn down the noise. Begin to notice what you would love to call in for this next chapter.
Mercury, still retrograde, sits at the very heart of the Sun in a cazimi, the exact meeting point that marks the turning of this whole retrograde. This is the moment the fog lifts. Insight that has been forming beneath the surface for weeks becomes clear, and you can see what you truly want with new honesty. Since this lands days before the Cancer New Moon, it is perfectly timed to help you get clear about your intentions before you plant them. Sit quietly with your heart today, journal, and let the truth rise up. Ask yourself what you most want to call in for this next chapter. Everything you clarify now will make the intentions you set tomorrow so much more powerful.
What does your heart most want to nurture in this new chapter of your life?
๐ฆ Monday, July 13th
- Moon in Cancer
The Moon stays in Cancer, keeping the energy soft, intuitive, and turned toward home. This is the day before the New Moon, the deepest, quietest point of the entire lunar cycle, so give yourself permission to slow all the way down. Rather than pushing forward, use today to reflect on the cycle that is ending and to feel into what you are ready to begin. Journal, rest, take a bath, or simply sit with your feelings and let them show you the truth of what you want. Everything you release and honor now creates space for the intentions you are about to plant. Let this be a day of gentle preparation, clearing your inner world so you can begin the next chapter with a full and open heart.
What are you ready to gently close so a new beginning has room to grow?
๐ Tuesday, July 14th
- New Moon in Cancer at 2:44 AM PT
- Moon enters Leo at 3:35 PM PT
Today the New Moon in Cancer arrives, and with it, your clean page to begin again. This is the most nurturing new beginning of the year, asking you to set intentions around home, family, emotional safety, and the way you care for yourself at the deepest level. Sit down with your dreams and write them out, letting your heart lead the way. Because Mercury is still retrograde, some of what you plant now may be a returning intention, a dream you set down a while ago that is ready to be picked back up and honored. Trust that. In the afternoon the Moon moves into Leo, adding a spark of warmth, courage, and creativity to your intentions and reminding you that you are allowed to want big, beautiful things. Plant your seeds with tenderness, then let a little fire carry them forward.
What intention, planted with love, would change the way you feel at home in your own life?
๐ฆ Wednesday, July 15th
- Moon in Leo
The Moon glows in Leo today, lifting the energy from tender to warm and expressive and inviting you to shine. After the inward days around the New Moon, this is a beautiful moment to bring your intentions out into the light with confidence and heart. Leo rules creativity, joy, and self expression, so do something that makes you feel alive, whether that is creating, playing, dressing up, or simply letting yourself be seen. With Jupiter now moving through Leo too, there is a growing sense of possibility in the air, a quiet knowing that you are meant for more. Let yourself feel proud of the seeds you planted and generous with your love. The more openhearted you are today, the more life reflects that warmth right back to you.
Where in your life are you being invited to shine a little brighter and take up more space?
๐ชด Thursday, July 16th
- Moon enters Virgo at 5:08 PM PT
The Moon shifts into Virgo in the evening, grounding the week and bringing your attention back to the small, practical steps that turn dreams into reality. After the warmth of Leo, this is a helpful energy for organizing, tidying, and creating gentle order around the intentions you set at the New Moon. Virgo reminds you that devotion lives in the details, in the daily acts of care you offer yourself and the people you love. With Venus also moving through Virgo, this is a lovely time to refine your routines and to treat your everyday life as something worth tending. Ask yourself what one simple, doable step would move you closer to what you planted, then let yourself take it. Small and steady is how the biggest dreams get built.
What is one small, loving action you can take today to support the seeds you just planted?
๐งบ Friday, July 17th
- Moon in Virgo
Moon in Virgo continues, keeping the energy practical, grounded, and quietly productive. This is a wonderful day to tend to the details of your life with patience and care, clearing what feels cluttered and creating a little more calm in your space and your schedule. Virgo can be a perfectionist, so if you notice yourself being hard on yourself today, soften. You are allowed to be a work in progress. The goal is not to be flawless, it is to keep showing up for yourself with kindness. Take care of your body, nourish yourself well, and let the simple rhythm of a well tended day steady you. There is real peace to be found in doing the ordinary things with love.
How can you be gentler with yourself as you take care of the details this week?
๐ค๐ผ Saturday, July 18th
- Moon enters Libra at 9:57 PM PT
The Moon moves into Libra late tonight, turning our attention toward connection, beauty, and balance. After a couple of grounded, inward days, the energy becomes more social and relational, drawing you toward the people you love and the harmony you crave. Libra rules partnership and fairness, so this is a beautiful weekend to reconnect with someone, to smooth over a rough edge, or simply to enjoy good company and beautiful surroundings. Notice where your life feels a little out of balance and let this gentle energy help you set it right. Give and receive with an open heart, and let yourself be reminded that relationships are one of the greatest places we grow. Let beauty and connection soften the end of your week.
Where is your life asking for a little more balance, and who would you love to reconnect with?

- Moon in Libra
- Jupiter in Leo trines Neptune in Aries
We close the week with Moon in Libra and a truly beautiful meeting in the sky as Jupiter in Leo forms a flowing trine to Neptune in Aries. This is one of the most magical and faith filled aspects of the year, blending Jupiter's expansion and luck with Neptune's dreams, intuition, and spiritual vision. Doors that felt closed can begin to open, and the things you have been quietly praying for can start to feel possible again. This is a powerful day for manifestation, for imagining your life as you truly want it, and for trusting that you are being guided. Alongside this, Jupiter also connects with Uranus and Pluto in the coming days, sparking fresh ideas and inviting you to step into your power. Let today fill you with hope. The seeds you planted at the New Moon are being blessed by a very generous sky, so dream boldly and believe.
If you fully trusted that the universe was supporting your dreams, what would you allow yourself to believe is possible?
