The New Moon in Cancer of July 17, 2023
The New Moon is a monthly recurring magical moment when Sun and Moon merge and the Light of Mother Moon is briefly imperceptible in the sky.
The magical union of Sun and Moon is the breeding ground of everything needed for the growth of the next cycle, the phase towards the Full Moon. 
Every New Moon feels like a moment of awakening, of birth.
The promise, a new beginning.
The powerful New Moon of July 17, 2023 at 24º56 in the water sign of Cancer opens the door to renewal mainly in the field of home and family matters, a new beginning in the relationship with your inner world, your living environment, family and everyone important to you.
This emotional New Moon in Cancer forms a conjunction with Fixed star Pollux and opposes retrograde Pluto in Capricorn, the planet of death and rebirth.
Retrograde Pluto is at 29º in Capricorn, so almost at the end, the astrological anaretic degree. Pluto at the end of patriarchal Capricorn signifies a necessary process of purification or transformation through some form of crisis. Emotional themes from the beginning of October 2022 can play a major role in this.
The powerful, almost exact opposition of the New Moon in Cancer to retrograde Pluto in Capricorn is about migration, security and housing.
On an individual level, it is about breaking painful childhood patterns in order to evolve so that we can reach our full potential, which is essentially the integration of our Inner Child with our Present Self.
This is especially true for anyone with natal ascendant, personal planets or lights at about 21 to 29 degrees in the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.
Mercury in Leo is square to Jupiter in Taurus with this New Moon and that requires clear choices. However, the tension between Mercury in Leo and Jupiter in Taurus van lead to promises and prospects that cannot be fulfilled.
Mars in Virgo is almost opposite retrograde Saturn in Pisces and this opposition of extremes can be the cause of rebellion and frustration. Due to the opposition of this New Moon with retrograde Pluto in Capricorn, we have to take fear-driven actions and resistance from outside or above into account.
Almost simultaneously with the New Moon in Cancer, the Nodes shift to the Aries/Libra axis of polarity, the axis of connection.
In the next 18 months it will be about individuality versus relationships, both on a personal and business level. Alone or together.
With all these powerful opposing aspects we may feel lost.
Retrograde Neptune in Pisces lends a helping hand to this New Moon and that can be an inspiring source to follow the right path.
In summary, this New Moon calls for you to take stock of what you need to feel secure, safe and at home in your own world and the world around us.
