Remember, Mercury Retrograde in Cancer (through July 23)

• Pause, reflect, and review before moving ahead.

• Reconnect with family, old friends, or unfinished conversations.

• Practice patience with communication, travel, and technology.

Mercury Retrograde continues in Cancer. This encourages reflection before action. Conversations from the past may return, memories may surface, and unfinished family matters could ask for your attention. Rather than forcing answers, allow yourself time to listen to intuition. Revise projects and plans to align with the values of your heart.

In addition to the New Moon meeting Mercury Retrograde in the zodiac sign of Cancer, here is a summary of the current cosmic conversation this summer, inculding a bigger picture planet pattern known as Barbault's Basket.

The Bigger Picture: Outer Planets Align for Action & Inspiration

Outer planets Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune are now in the early degrees of air and fire signs. Take mindful action steps toward your goals. What’s your big idea? The cosmic configuration at July New Moon is a potent “womb of creative power”, where the geometry of the sky story aligns as a symbol of accelerated Thought & Action. Since the three outer planets, considered generational planets, are now traveling through the opening degrees of new zodiac signs, this marks the beginning of a profound collective shift.

We are entering a new era that will continue unfolding over the next several years. Use the New Moon this month to personally nurture yourself, and the ideas for future months and years ahead!

Pluto in Aquarius (4°)

• Transforming community connections and technology.

• Empowerment through collaboration and shared vision.

• Release outdated systems to embrace visionary change.

Neptune in Aries (4° Retrograde)

• Awakens courage, inspiration, and spiritual purpose.

• Replace confusion or illusion with authentic action.

• Encourages leadership with compassion and conviction.

Uranus in Gemini (4°)

• Inspires innovation, flexibility, and fresh perspectives.

• Doors open for unexpected opportunities and creative solutions.

Vision your idea, then create a strong foundation for whatever comes next. The Cancer New Moon, with July Mercury Retrograde invites us to slow down, reflect on what truly matters, and consciously choose the future we wish to create.
