This July 5, 2024, at 7:57 p.m. (Argentine time), the first new moon of winter. It occurs in the 14th degree of Cancerthe sign ruled by this luminary that symbolizes the mother and our emotional world.

Consulted by Clarionthe astrologer and author Mercedes Casini He explained the characteristics of this lunation, how it unfolds energy and what themes will it awaken in the twelve zodiac signs.

Casini, who is also the founder of Aprende Astrología, explained that Cancer is a sign that is energetically associated with “roots.” A sprout that, after having come to the surface (with Gemini), now needs to take root and go deeper into its interior.

A new Moon occurs every time it is located between the Earth and the Sun and its “visible face” from our perspective is dark, it does not reflect sunlight. Also called new moonastrology defines it as the monthly moment when the Moon aligns with the Sun at the same mathematical degree.

In general, astrological knowledge considers that Each new moon represents the beginning of a cyclethe opportunity to initiate processes, sow and set intentions for the next six months.

“The sign of Cancer is associated with the Fourth House and the Moon, and in the zodiacal mandala at rest it is located below, at what would be the deepest point on Earth,” explained Casini.

From an astrological perspective, the Moon is not only the natural satellite of the Earth, it also represents that energy that drives us to enter our homes, to protect and shelter us from the worldSo Cancer energy symbolizes caring, shelter, intimate emotions and home.

In this sense, the astrologer specifies: “People with a lot of Cancer in their birth chart are careful, sensitive peoplewith a mood that is changeable like the Moon, emotional, and they tend to be very careful with whom they open this intimate world.”

For this reason, Casini indicates that this beginning of the cycle in the lunar calendar in July presents a good time to review What intimate relationships do we want to have?how we want to take care of our emotional world, what kind of home we want to nurture and build, how we want to get along with our family, our origins, our ancestors and our past.

The specialist also specified which are the most notable planetary transits of this new Moon and how they frame the themes that we can work on. “The new Moon occurs with the Sun and the Moon in Cancer in conjunction to Venus and in square to the lunar nodes (mathematical points of the sky) which are in Aries and Libra,” he said.

In detail, he explained that the conjunction with Venus “involves the side of relationships and the value we give ourselves in it,” and being in square to the Aries-Libra axis “It brings us similar themes to those we question during the eclipse stage: how much we care for others, How much we take care of ourselveshow to learn to find a balance between giving in and imposing and how much we dare to seek relationships that consider both desires without trampling on individualities or neglecting the emotional worlds of the people involved.”

Venus in Cancer guides us under the premise: “I am from where my emotional world is taken care of.” That is why Casini proposed that we ask ourselves these questions: What relationship do I have with my home? What would I like to take care of in the next six months? What is my relationship with my family of origin? How much do I take care of myself? How much do I let myself be taken care of? What happens in my most intimate relationships? How is my emotional armor? What is my relationship with my emotions? Do I overprotect myself from feeling?
