The Dregs

If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance. - George Bernard Shaw

If memories of the past, ancient habit patterns or the culmination of significant family issues seem intensified right now, chances are this experience relates to the dregs of Saturn's transit through Cancer, which completes upon Saturn's move into Leo July 16.  This is a good time to look at where we have put our deep feeling, our true emotional energy, over the last two years, and evaluate whether and how this placement of our emotional energy has brought rewards.  We are probably emotionally tougher and more resilient in some way than we were two years ago, as a result of dealing with the demands of matters related to family and home in a more concerted way.  If we have done our work well, we have probably matured emotionally, and become wiser in the ways of the emotional, domestic or relational worlds.

Saturn's move from Cancer to Leo is not a huge shift in essential motivation--Leo is still a very personal and tribal sign.  We may continue to see a focus on family matters, especially those revolving around children and children's rights, expressions and obligations.  Yet rather than being primarily motivated by security and protection, as we may have been under Saturn in Cancer, under Saturn in Leo we have ideally shored up our inner emotional and outer practical bases and are thus freed to focus on heart-felt creativity. Using the next two years to structure creative output that expresses the inner artist, the inner lover, the inner child or inner executive (who's good at motivating and managing people well) will be a great use of the Saturn in Leo energy. A heavy concentration of Leo energy at this New Moon (Mercury, Venus, Saturn) plus Mercury retrograde in Leo intensifies the focus on reorganizing our minds and mundane details to best express our hearts' desires.

NEW MOON FORECAST FOR SUN AND RISING SIGNS
(sign dates are approximate depending on year of birth)

 ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19):  The New Moon occurs in your Fourth House of home, family and property.  You may want to move, reorganize or redecorate your living space.  You may have more than usual the amount of activity in your home this month.  Reevaluate your creative dreams and desires and establish a plan to make at least one of them come true.  The phrase "don't hide your light under a bushel" comes to mind.
Best days for Aries:   Jul 25-26

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20)The New Moon occurs in your Third House of local travel, transportation, communication, neighbors and siblings.  Opportunities for change or new starts may emerge in these areas. Communicating your needs and exchanging information with others via  telephone, e-mail or fax brings you better success than going it alone. Establishing strong domestic support and organization as well as regular family meeting times goes far to help you thrive.
Best days for Taurus:  Jul 27-28

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 20)The New Moon occurs in your Second House of earned money, possessions and values.  New work or income opportunities may come your way this month.  It's a great month to reconsider the purpose of your work and surround yourself with coworkers and clients who share your values.  Communicating from the heart with those you encounter in your daily life, as well as organizing transportation needs and straightening out any matters with neighbors or siblings, helps you to gain a stronger foundation.
Best days for Gemini:  Jul 30-31

CANCER (Jun 21-Jul 22)The New Moon occurs in your First House of action, identity and personal presence.  The spotlight shines on you this month, so use it to your advantage.  Put your best foot forward and consider making changes to your appearance that enhance your confidence.  A structured plan or source of outside motivation may help improve your work and income areas; at the very least balance that checkbook and reflect on how your income producing activities can better reflect your values.
Best days for Cancer:  Jul 6, Aug 1

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22)The New Moon occurs in your Twelfth House of spirituality, retreat and behind-the-scenes activities.  You may want to keep a low profile this month and see what your nighttime dreams have to tell you.  Changes to your personal appearance may be helpful, but should be well-considered before acting.  Rethinking what it means to be a Leo will improve your rapport with other this month: remember, benevolent kings and queens rule firmly but generously and wisely and do not simply lord it over their subjects.
Best days for Leo:  Jul 7-8, Aug 4

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22)The New Moon occurs in your Eleventh House of friends, groups, business income, humanitarian causes, and long-range hopes and wishes.  Beginnings or changes in these areas may occur for you this month.  Pushing yourself to talk to people you don't know in social situations may pay off well this month.  Though it may not seem like a lot is happening on the surface, behind the scenes changes inspired by your dreams or periods of reflection are helping to move you forward.
Best days for Virgo:  Jul 10-11

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 22)The New Moon occurs in your Tenth House of authorities, reputation and career.  You may be more professionally active than usual this month, especially with those in positions of leadership.  Communication with friends or business-related groups will go a long way to help you feel more supported emotionally and potentially financially as well.
Best days for Libra:  Jul 12-14

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21):  The New Moon occurs in your Ninth House of religion, philosophy, higher education, long-range plans and long distance travel.  New doors may open for you in one or more of these areas.  Consider taking a long range risk and mapping out some details, even if it's only opening your mind to the possibility.  Conflicts with supervisors or people in positions of authority may help you rethink your values when it comes to your reputation.
Best days for Scorpio:  Jul 15-16

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21):  The New Moon occurs in your Eighth House of joint finances, sexuality and secrets.  Reviewing investments, deepening partnerships, and considering counseling or therapy may be on the agenda this month.  You make good progress with research or investigations of any kind.  Pursuing higher education by either teaching or taking classes, or considering some type of broadening experience such as overseas travel, likely helps you to feel more confident.
Best days for Sagittarius:  Jul 17-18

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19)The New Moon occurs in your Seventh House of partnership and marriage.  New partnerships or phases of an existing partnership may emerge at this time.  Looking at your general approach to partnership and the balance you achieve between self and others is indicated.  You may begin interacting with the public or significant people on a one-to-one basis in a more steady way starting this month and continuing for six months.  Reexamining your values regarding sexuality,  joint finances or use of credit will have positive effects on other life areas.
Best days for Capricorn:  Jul 19-20

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18)The New Moon occurs in your Sixth House of work, health and service.  You may want to review your health and fitness regimes or organize your work environment for greater productivity.  A doctor's appointment or health review could give you a reassuring reality check.  Partnerships of all kinds are up for review; establishing good habits in communicating and working one-to-one with everyone from a mate to your dentist to sales clerks pay big dividends.
Best days for Aquarius:  Jul 21-22

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20):  The New Moon occurs in your Fifth House of romance, creativity, children and play.  New beginnings, breakthroughs or changes may occur for you in these areas.  Launch a creative project or find one you started in the past and bring it back to life. Focus on the childlike creative spirit within and bring a sense of play to whatever you do.  Organizing your work environment or getting your health up to par provides an essential base for your creative activities.
Best days for Pisces:  Jul 23-24
