New Moons are times to identify areas of need and desire, to form intent, and to plant seeds of said intent which we then nurture and develop via action. For those who practice the Craft in any form New Moons are powerful portals for ritual and for spellcasting. July’s New Moon occurs in the sign of Cancer on July 14th, 2026, at 5:43 AM EDT. The energies of this New Moon compel us to focus on our emotion, on our emotional well-being, on our relationships, and on whether our emotional needs are being met in our relationships. All relationships must be reciprocal for them to be seen as being healthy, there must be a give/recieve dynamic present. Mercury is retrograde within two degrees of this new Moon and will help us identify patterns in our relationships and relationship life that we in some way participate in. Ultimately this is not a portal to find a relationship in, it is a time to create awareness, and to plant seeds for better relationships in the future. Sit quietly with yourself. Breathe. Reflect. Be one with feeling and emotion. Open yourself to the process of awakening. Commit. Let the last few days of Cancer Season 2026 be the first days of a new, more loving relationship with yourself, one that will lead to a better living experience for you in the world.
Duncan de la Montagne Full Moons cast light upon that which was previously hidden, and they reveal what we need to see. Full Moons connect us more deeply with both our subconscious mind and the spiritual plane beyond. They are powerful magickal energy portals for those who do that sort of spiritual energy work. Today’s Full Moon in Cardinal Earth sign Capricorn (19:56 EDT) will shed light on what we need to know to move our agenda forward and on what we are holding on to that we should let go off. The primary driver of all the Earth signs is creating physical and material security in life, so there will of course be a practical even pragmatic tone to what we come to see and know. Cardinal signs are action signs, so this will be an action time. Saturn rules Capricorn and forms a fraught t-square with both Sun and Moon tonight, suggesting complex existing known or unknown dynamics with authority figures and/or authority coming into play in the immediate in any situations with an inherent vulnerability or flaw in the foundation. Tend to your practical business now. Adaptation may be required, perhaps even a change in direction. Capricorn energy is tough, perseverant energy though, and it can help you through whatever you must do. Bask under the Capricorn Full Moon tonight, feel Her strong, grounding energy, and commit to action in what She shows you to be true in your life.

Today's New Moon in Gemini (10:54 PM EDT) opens our eyes, mind, and senses to new awareness in and to new perspectives on situations in our lives. It opens us to new ideas and new possibilities.

However in those cases the pain that comes with knowing can lead us to growth and change for the better in our lives. The Sun’s transit through Gemini has brought important information to our conscious mind and to our subconscious mind. Welcome it, accept it, process it. Align with it. Then reach across the zodiac energy wheel to the power that Black Moon Lilith in Fire element sign Sagittarius offers in this astral moment, and commit to self advocacy and self-determination. The impetus for change is here, and newly arrived Uranus in Gemini is ready to propel us toward the place we now see we need to be.

Scorpio being a transformative sign, the Full Moon in Scorpio today (13:23 EDT) will reveal what you need to change in your life and what you need to change in yourself.

Be careful how you direct its energies in rituals though, chaos easily ensues after aggressive intent with the escalating influence of a destructive Mars square with Jupiter. Passion is present to a high degree now, but it can easily explode well beyond control. Employing an external calm and forward-focused strategy may serve many best in their transformative desires and actions under this spicy ninja Moon.

Often we lose track of that as we move through life, but Pisces Season calls us back to source each year, to that which we really are, essences of self on a spiritual journey through time and space. With the North Node in Pisces this year during Pisces Season those attuned can get a deeper sense of the nature of their journey through time and space, of their own true power, and of what they are here to do. Open yourself to the Universe now, receive what messages it may transmit to you through whatever means you may use to connect. Reflect upon what resonates most and on how you might apply it to enrich your experience in life and to best contribute to the common good of your community, then plant seeds of spiritual action to nurture and nourish over the coming 28 days. Our life out in the world is always a direct reflection of our internal state of being. This is a time to feed the inner self through spiritual connection to the metaphysical plane and through alignment with spiritual values and principles.
Duncan de la Montagne Full Moons cast light upon that which was previously hidden, and they illuminate what we really need to see. Full Moons connect us with our subconscious mind on a more profound level. They are also powerful magickal energy portals for those who do that sort of spiritual energy work. The Full Moon in Virgo (March 3, 2026 6:38 AM EST) with lunar eclipse in tight conjunction with the South Node of Karma and loosely opposite the inner planets, all of which are currently in Pisces, along with the North Node of Karma compels us to face that which must be sacrificed in order to move forward toward the realization of our deepest and dearest dreams and desires. One thing that clearly must go is fear. What do you fear? The eclipse can help those reflecting on fear to find their way to the root causes of core fear. Attachment may also be a culprit in our self-limitation. Comfort often keeps us where we should no longer be. This Full Moon will bring awareness of patterns that we repeatedly slip into but that actually serve to plague us in some way. Nothing in life comes without sacrifice, and if something has been eluding you in life chances are you have been holding onto something that you need to sacrifice. Tune in to the energy frequency of the Virgo Full Moon and open your mind to what you need to be free of so that you can manifest what you truly desire.

The Full Moon in Leo, which is opposite the Sun in Aquarius, is a call to authenticity and passionate action that serves both the self and the collective good. This Full Moon can facilitate illumination of what is truly important to you now. It can also inspire intuition that guides you in the direction best aligned with who you are now, as opposed to who you once were. Life is a journey, and journeys are about growth and progress, both in the individual sense and the collective sense. We are not meant to stagnate, and certainly the Universe does not want that for us. The inner planets are all currently moving through Aquarius in techno-pop rhythm with the Sun. The vibe is futuristic. The tone is both unifying and individualistic. The melody moves us toward rejection of what we perceive as limiting to our visions, our needs, our dreams, and our individual human rights. The songs we sing are songs of pushing back against imposed authority and authoritarianism. We are compelled to demand freedom to be who we are and to freely live that truth in the world, and we are inspired to free our collective spaces from old constructs that don’t serve the collective common good. We find the courage to be non-compliant, we find the courage to insist on something better.
