Cancer season is in full swing. July is starting off in an emotional place where we want to understand ourselves and others more authentically. The new moon in Cancer happens on July 9 gives us the opportunity to reconnect with ourselves in a new way, and those around us.

People from our past may come back, and we’ll be able to see them in a new light - and accept others and ourselves as we are now. People can and do change, and we need to be open-minded; it’s possible that this can be a new beginning for you.

The full moon comes in Aquarius on the 23, which points us in a more philosophical and reflective mindset. Your attention and focus may become bigger than yourself. You may find yourself thinking of how to help others in your community. How can you live a better and more mindful life?
