New friends, new adventures, new shoes and New Moons! Tonight&#8217;s New Moon in Cancer (9:24 p.m. PT \/ 12:24 a.m. ET) begins a new lunar cycle, so it&#8217;s time once again to spend a little bit of time thinking about what I want to happen in the month ahead.<\/p>\n<p>The New Moon is always a great time to start new things, and I&#8217;m eager to get a jump on a few projects. I want to paint my bathroom, start a new art piece and shop around for new backpacking gear. But this particular New Moon indicates I might be a little slow out of the gate in getting started with those things.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s because Cancer is such a cautious zodiac sign, and it advices we take our time in order to make sure everything goes smoothly. So I&#8217;ll probably need to spend some extra time thinking and planning before I start doing any of those things. Not to mention Mercury is retrograde until August 8, which also warns against starting new things.<\/p>\n<p>I guess that means for now I&#8217;m just going to meditate on what color to paint the bathroom, flesh out that art project in my mind, and compare prices on outdoor gear before making any big purchases.<\/p>\n<p>This need for caution applies to everyone now. This is an emotional New Moon that leaves our feelings a bit raw, so taking time to slow down and carefully think things through is the best way to proceed smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>If we all practice a little bit of patience now, we&#8217;ll soon be able to pounce on all our new endeavors with confidence. Maybe I&#8217;ll even be able to find someone to paint my bathroom for me.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Learn about the New Moon in Cancer at Tarot.com\" href=\"http:\/\/beta.tarot.com\/articles\/astrology\/new-moon-cancer\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more about the New Moon in Cancer at Tarot.com \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love new things.
