A Soft Reset: A New Moon for Rest, Renewal, and Receiving
The wheel has turned once again into the season of Summer. Summer is made up of cardinal-water Cancer, fixed-fire Leo, and mutable-earth Virgo.
Summer Season
Cancer begins the summer season and has us focusing on our homes, family, and how to put our feelings first. When we go into Leo we will listen to our hearts and do what it asks with courage. Then we round off the season in Virgo with work, responsibility, and discipline.

Cancer New Moon

That makes this lunation feel more expansive than usual—a cosmic cue to set boundaries and big-hearted intentions.

The Moon Starts a New Cycle in Cancer

Cancer invites you to develop your financial security so you have a safe and comfortable home.
