The annual New Moon in Cancer on July 14, 2026, brings a focus inward, urging reflection on home, family, and innermost feelings. With Mercury retrograde nearby, conversations may become layered and require a new communication style. Astrologer Patrick Arundell advises being open to cosmic gifts, which may appear as challenges but ultimately lead to growth.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Saturn in Aries highlights boundaries. Today's New Moon in Cancer, close to retrograde Mercury, may bring up family or home issues needing discussion. Tact is essential, as frustrations may be harder to disguise and emotions easier to fluster.
Taurus (April 21 – May 21)
The Cancer Lunation creates a paradox for Taurus: while Cancer represents nurture and security, it falls in your chatty 3rd House. Blend emotional conviction with lighter conversation, but beware of crossed wires.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
The New Moon in Cancer is the Moon's annual home event, but your ruler Mercury retrogrades nearby. Discussions about self-worth, values, or finances may feel less detached than usual.
Cancer (June 22 – July 23)
Your annual New Moon offers a powerful opportunity to reboot, relaunch, or begin afresh. Revitalise your personal image despite potential disapproval from others. Follow what truly inspires you.
Leo (July 24 – August 23)
The Sun and Moon meet in your most shielded area, balancing vitality and receptiveness. While you can set intentions, your inner world will be most boosted today.
Virgo (August 24 – September 23)
If long-term plans have stalled or fair-weather friends have been revealed, today offers a chance to reset. Initial disappointment may give way to something bigger and brighter.
Libra (September 24 – October 23)
Ambitions get a boost over the next month, but outcomes may not go exactly to plan. Consider different scenarios and remain flexible, showing worldly wisdom rather than lack of confidence.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Options are opening up, particularly in how you think about choices. Reflecting on past lessons is powerful if you see it that way, even if it feels like retracing steps.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Long-term financial planning—pensions, insurance, shared resources—is ripe for review. Dive deep to find value, but double-check details; the devil is in the details.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 21)
Your ruler Saturn has been in an abrasive square with Mercury, and with Mercury retrograde, an issue you've tried to solve may resurface. Patience will bring clarity.
Aquarius (January 22 – February 19)
Mercury evokes Virgo's practical qualities for you. Today's New Moon is perfect to analyse home organisation, diet, nutrition, exercise, and rest, and create improvements.
Pisces (February 20 – March 20)
The New Moon in Cancer boosts your sector of life's pleasures—enjoyment, social life, romance. With Mercury retrograde, don't get disheartened if plans change; what is meant to be will be.
