The Big Events
new moon in cancer // july 14, 2026
This month the new moon is in its home sign of Cancer. The moon in Cancer is family-oriented, seeks safety and emotional comfort, and loves to nurture and be nurtured. The moon in a water sign always feels heightened emotions, with deep waters easily rising to the surface to move through us. This moon is closely conjunct Mercury, giving our emotions an expressive outlet through writing or communicating. You may feel the need to say what’s been on your mind or put words to what have previously been nebulous feelings.
This moon is also making a square to Saturn in Aries and a sextile to Venus in Virgo, both planets in Fall. The square to Saturn may feel like a block to emotional awareness or it might mean delaying a real catharsis in order to take care of responsibilities first. The sextile with Venus provides an outlet for connection, though in its Fall placement, Venus isn’t able to add as much sweetness as she otherwise would. The moon may be translating some difficult things through these aspects as well, processing feelings of immaturity, frustration, or social discomfort.
mercury stations direct // july 23, 2026
Mercury stations direct toward the end of July at 16° Cancer. Mercury retrograde had us re-do or revisit some things that began June 12 and the full story won’t be complete until August 7 when Mercury finally leaves its shadow. However, we can expect communication, technological, and transportation mishaps to begin clearing up now.
full moon in aquarius // july 29, 2026
The Full Moon this month takes place at 6° Aquarius, very close to conjoining Pluto and exactly opposite Jupiter, which conjoins the sun. This feels quite activating and transformational, with Aquarius being a sign concerned with ideologies about the collective. There may be big changes on the horizon in a mundane or worldly sense, and we may be asked to completely reinvent a part of ourselves in the Aquarius part of our birth chart. Jupiter conjunct the sun in Leo adds an element of luck, growth, expansion, and confidence to this moon, activating and energizing our ability to make change. With this being a full moon, there is something culminating and completing, and it may be bigger than we expected.
This moon, ruled by Saturn, heads next into a sextile with Saturn, adding an element of longevity to whatever comes forward here, and then heads to a trine with both Venus and Mars, who are at odds with each other but in harmony with the moon. The moon seems to act here as a kind of benefic connector between the feminine and masculine or between receptivity and forward drive.
