The universe is always handing you a new beginning! The first New Moon of the Summer arrives on July 14th at 2:44 a.m. PST. On this day, the Sun and the Moon kiss in the Water sign of Cancer. This celestial kiss is far from simple - it comes with a tricky configuration in the sky.
For starters, this New Moon is happening during the second 2026 retrograde of Mercury, also occurring in Cancer. Themes from the past may be returning in the form of opportunities, asking us to take a second look at certain situations. But what’s striking about this New Moon in Cancer is the clashes (squares) it forms with three celestial bodies: Saturn and asteroids Pallas and Vesta - all traveling in fiery Aries.
Since Saturn represents responsibility, asteroid Pallas represents intelligence, and asteroid Vesta represents devotion, you are being tested under this New Moon. The sky is asking: Do you truly have what it takes to achieve this cherished dream? We’ve created a ritual that merges Water and Fire to assist you in burning obstacles as well as personal resistance at this New Moon in Cancer.
July 14 New Moon in Cancer Ritual
You will need the 2026 New Moon Ritual Candle (Cancer Edition), the Dragon’s Blood Incense, the Brown Goldstone Tower Point, matches, and a goal that is hard to attain.
SET UP your tools in a space that relates the most to your goal.
SIT in front of your tools facing south, towards the direction that honors the Fire element.
LIGHT your Cancer New Moon candle as you say, “As the Moon renews herself in the sign of soulful memory, I summon the support of my ancestors for this ritual.”
CLOSE your eyes and visualize a big flame lighting up in front of you, energizing your space.
LIGHT the Dragon’s Blood Incense with the flame of the candle and pass it all over your body, all over the room you’re in, and all around the Brown Goldstone Tower Point.
HOLD the Brown Goldstone Tower Point towards the sky as you say, “As we enter the astrological era of Fire, I commit to staying passionate, focused, and devoted to my dreams. I manifest the success that is meant to be for me.”
LEAVE the candle to burn completely and set the Brown Goldstone Tower Point on your altar as a reminder of the commitment you made.
