Moon Magic is back for the New Moon on July 14, 2026, and this one brings us home to our hearts. 
The New Moon is in Cancer, bringing tender emotions that feel deeply personal. Cancer rules the home, family, ancestry, memory, protection, and emotional safety. Just like every New Moon before it, both the Sun and the Moon are moving through the same sign. On July 14, they are both in Cancer. Add Mercury retrograde in Cancer, and this New Moon becomes even more watery, reflective, and inward-looking.
You may find yourself looking back at where you came from, what shaped you, and what you are ready to put aside. Being a moon child myself, this is my favorite kind of New Moon. Mercury retrograde is bonus material. Let your reminiscing be positively productive!
I started writing about the influence of the Moon on our lives when I published Healers Almanac, Wisdom from the 21st Century Goddess. Join me as I bring in the Goddess of the Month and tie it into the rest of the Lunar Astrology. Then participate in a quick ritual to help you really connect with the Magic of the New and Full Moons.
