We start this week with the first quarter moon starting in Libra with the moon moving into intense Scorpio in the afternoon. This Scorpio moon will allow us to see the truth and speak the truth more clearly; this could also cause us to feel a bit uncertain about different areas of our life. Don’t be afraid to go deep and explore the shadows.

Being in the water sign of Scorpio means we will be likely more emotional, so be mindful not to get critical or defensive. Work to solve any issues that may arise through honesty and openness and tap into your intuition. This Scorpio moon will be a good chance to deepen our relationships and to grow from whatever might arise.

We begin this week with the moon in Cancer. The Dark Moon continues through Monday before we have the second Cancer New Moon for the month very early on Tuesday morning in Australia (3:32am AEST). The New Moon provides a clean slate and this new moon also gives us a second chance. In setting your intentions for the new lunar cycle look at what you set last Cancer New Moon in June and anything you didn’t accomplish then, you can set again now, and work to improve on those things in this lunation. With Cancer relating to how we give and receive emotional health and security, the themes of this new moon are around how we nurture our emotions as well as those of our loved one.
