What does home mean to you? Is it a place, a feeling or a person? As July’s new Moon begins its cycle in Cancer, these questions may poke your heart.

For some, this new Moon inspires you to create a more comfortable living space. You’ll be drawn to decorating with sumptuous fabrics, filling vases with fresh flowers and adding special mementos to your mantle. There’s a cosmic focus on making your house a home. Because a place where you can retreat from life’s stresses should never be underestimated.

Others may be separated from their home during this new Moon. Let’s not forget that many people across the globe are currently stuck in a different state or country, unable to return to their homes and families. So, expect to hear more about this in the media. 

Cancer Sun, Moon and Ascendant signs will feel this new Moon's message most acutely. The same can be said for Capricorns, Aries and Libras. 

For the rest of you, what house does Cancer rule in your birth chart? This is the area where you’ll search for a sense of belonging, looking to fit in and be accepted for who you are. For you, this new Moon is about discovering the type of unconditional love where your uniqueness is embraced with open arms. For example, if Cancer rules your eleventh house, your friends' acceptance may come up for you. The eighth house points to resolving trust issues to create more intimacy. The tenth house suggests finding a workplace where you can fully express your talents without ridicule. 

La Luna asks that you manifest a space to call home. To you, this might be somewhere you can kick off your shoes at the end of the day, put on your trackies and relax. Maybehome is that one special person that loves you, warts and all. Or perhaps it’s a group or organisation that encourages your originality to shine.

Once you’ve found your tribe, your person or space where you can be the uncensored version of yourself, then you know you’ve truly arrived home.
