New Moon in Cancer: Here’s Your Horoscope for the Week of July 17

We’ve reached the halfway point of July, and this week begins with a New Moon in Cancer (July 17) which asks us to focus on matters of the home. Cherish and nurture your family during this time, initiate a KonMari tidying up session, or fill your workspace with things you love!

Here’s what the stars want to tell you this week:

Aries (March 21 to April 19)

You may have recently experienced unfortunate events that have set you back from your goals and your mind is now filled with doubt and negativity. These things may seem out of your control but you must learn to adapt to these changes, make a plan on how to move forward, and understand that these things happen for a reason. It’s impossible to have good times without the bad, after all. Trust that you are where you need to be right now and that all of this will make sense eventually.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You may be struggling with your emotions right now because of unresolved issues and you must find a way to healthily express them instead of bottling them up. Seek the support of loved ones to help you understand the core issue and how to overcome it. Remember to give yourself the love and comfort you need, and to check in with yourself from time to time so you don’t explode.

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

You’re finding it difficult to stay present, frustrated by the fact that things aren’t as great as they used to be. But if you stay stuck in the past, you might only hurt yourself more. Take a moment to reflect on your life right now and see if you’re on the path you’re meant to be on. Trust your judgement. Learn from your mistakes and move forward with wisdom. Most importantly, know who you truly are and live your life according to how you want to live it.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Don’t be afraid to dream big but the work shouldn’t just stop there. Living in your fantasies won’t do anything to help you get to your goals; instead, it’ll just leave you feeling uncommitted and unfulfilled. Make a concrete plan and clearly set your intentions. Attract all the opportunities that are available to you and trust that the universe has your back!

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

You’re starting to get impatient from all these delays and it’s causing you to act on impulse. However, don’t be carried away by the promise of material wealth and success so you don’t make careless mistakes that will hurt you or others you care about. Balance your impulsiveness with rational thinking, be patient, and take things slow. Enjoy the journey instead of speeding through just to see what’s next!

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Things may not have worked out for you right now and you feel trapped in your mind because of it. You may think that there’s no way out of the wreckage but you must understand that it’s always been your choice to dwell in it, just as it is within your power to get yourself out. See the opportunities that abound all around you and know that you can face these challenges with strength and compassion. You can get through this; just trust yourself.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Your constant live-in-the-moment attitude is making you ignore the consequences of your actions and how you may be affecting the people around you. Stay grounded and think before you leap. It’s important to self-reflect at this time, understand yourself better, and realize where you want to be. Never lose sight of who you are and live your life according to your values.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Your life is about to change and it’ll require some much-needed transformation with you and your life. It’s terrifying but trust that you need this, even if you feel like you don’t. Let go of what no longer serves you, detach yourself from your emotions, and think things through as logically as you can so that you could get through these obstacles in one piece. Remember: when one door closes, another one opens.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Opportunities flow abundantly around you, so don’t be afraid to seize them and share your gifts with the world! Wear your heart on your sleeve to cleanse your soul—that is, don’t hold yourself back from expressing your true feelings. Stay determined to bring your goals to life, knowing exactly who you are and what you want. Don’t stop until you get there!

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Though you are content in your life, you can’t help but feel bored and restless, convinced that you’re meant for something more. Dig deep to resolve these inner issues and listen to what your heart is telling you. This is a time to contemplate and reflect on your life, so don’t obsess over your problems because they’re not forever. Possibilities abound around you, you just need to see them!

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

You’ve managed to avoid some disasters lately but expect that drastic changes are still coming and you must learn to adapt to them, knowing that these changes will only bring about new beginnings. Don’t be afraid to take risks. There are many options in front of you so choose whatever’s most emotionally fulfilling for you, even if it means letting go of what you currently have to get a fresh start.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Things may not be going according to plan, but don’t let these setbacks stop you from trying new things. Cut yourself some slack and don’t rush to make your goals happen. What all this is, is a learning process. Be kind to yourself and get back up again. You’ll get to where you need to be eventually.
