There is a New Moon in Cancer on the 17th/18th July. For the first time since 1987, there is also a lunar nodal shift occurring on the same day with the North Node moving into Aries and the South Node moving into Libra - where they will remain until the 11th January, 2025.
The Lunar Nodes signify lessons we are meant to learn, soul growth, keys to our destiny and our collective evolution. They can also illuminate the shadow work that humanity needs to do and what needs to be released in order to evolve and move forward in greater alignment.
The Cancer New Moon and the shifting of the Lunar Nodes happening on the same day indicates a time of heightened karmic energy.
This New Moon is in direct opposition to Pluto, the planet of destruction, which is currently retrograde in Capricorn. This means that power struggles or triangular situations will be brought to light, bringing to light relationship issues.

This is leading up to 7 planets stationed retrograde by the end of August as Mercury and Uranus station retrograde on the 23rd and 24th August.
