Becoming our Authentic Selves
New Moon in Cancer 7/14/26 5:44 am 21 degrees 59 minutes
In less than a week, a transformative alignment is taking place. The three outer planets (Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus) that have recently changed signs will all align at four degrees of their respective signs, forming exact trines and sextiles. These aspects allow for a flow and integration to take place.
On July 19th, Jupiter will join the mix at four degrees of Leo, creating a four-planet “basket.” It is significant because the number four represents stability. This alignment ushers in and stabilizes a new reality.
The New Moon in Cancer precedes this change by beginning a new cycle of aligning our expanded inner world with the external expression that validates what is felt. It is the birth of our authenticity. Other energies are changing to support this shift.
Mercury retrograde in Cancer focuses our mind and our communication on what we feel. Venus’ ingress into Virgo completes the cycle of superiority/inferiority. We no longer need to satisfy the external world exclusively. Our hearts and the inner messaging we receive from Source are helping to guide us and transmute us into new beings guided from within.
Jupiter entering Leo is expanding our natural self. At four degrees of Leo, Pluto’s polarity point, we are integrating the very purpose of Pluto’s 18-year journey through Aquarius. As the external planets hold the space, we are focused on integrating our individuality and authenticity. We connect with this part of ourselves by listening to the messaging that comes from within.

This New Moon in Cancer finds itself in the third decan of Cancer, which is Pisces. The Piscean layer adds the energy of letting go and transcendence. It represents the dissolution of the old as we prepare to discover a new self that is aligned with Source energy. The New Moon is asking us to find a new sense of inner security by letting go of what was and embracing a new self.

Healing this wound requires us to rethink how we use and share resources.
The square is a “crisis in consciousness’ square between Chiron and the Sun. It is where our beliefs differ from those of the culture we live in. We must choose to break free to follow our own beliefs. To do this, we must choose to self-actualize what is emanating from within the emotional field.

We must adopt a new perspective on reality if we are to step into a more spiritually aligned state of being. There is a need to withdraw from external focus as we contemplate breaking free from external perspectives and stepping into new roles.

Pluto retrograde in Aquarius is the bottom line of our collective and individual evolution. It is asking us to individuate by accelerating the breaking free from the emotional attachments to the past paradigm. The intention is to form an attachment to our authentic selves. As the most recent paradigm dissolves before our eyes, the place to find refuge is in our hearts. It is where the Source connects with each of us.
Chiron in Taurus refers to healing a deep-seated wound the collective carries, which affects our self-esteem, how we survive, whether our needs are met, and our access to resources. Our access to resources is the basis of our survival. Whether it’s food, shelter, medicine, or other necessary resources, access to them greatly affects our self-esteem. Healing this wound requires us to rethink how we use and share resources.
This “crisis in action” square requires us to make new choices to effect change. The bottom line of our evolution is to break free from the emotional conditioning of the dissolving paradigm. We do this by moving inward to our hearts. It is in the heart that we communicate with Source, connect with our true purpose, and discover our authentic selves. Choosing to heal our relationships with ourselves, the Earth, our resources, and our self-esteem is the direction.
Chiron sextile NN
Chiron in Taurus refers to healing a deep-seated wound the collective carries, which affects our self-esteem, how we survive, whether our needs are met, and our access to resources. Our access to resources is the basis of our survival. Whether it’s food, shelter, medicine, or other necessary resources, access to them greatly affects our self-esteem. Healing this wound requires us to rethink how we use and share resources.
The NN represents the future identity that sees itself as a necessary part of the whole. We must shift our focus from the perspective of separation (SN) to one of unity. When we identify this way, we have forgiveness, compassion, acceptance, and universal love for ourselves and others. We identify with others, the Earth, and the inhabitants as if they are part of us. As a part of the whole, our importance increases.
It is a waxing sextile between Chiron and the NN. We are attempting to embody our future selves. It is a process that requires effort. There is a necessary withdrawal from the external to internalize the embodiment.
Yod: Venus, Neptune, Pluto
A finger of God, or Yod formation, is a fated alignment directed toward the unconscious awareness of a destined future. It consists of two inconjuncts that converge on a vertex, and a sextile. The vertex is the stress point. The inconjuncts create a crisis that requires analysis and adjustment. The sextile is the supportive mechanism. The boomerang is the opposition to the vertex, acting as a pressure release valve.
Venus in Virgo is the vertex. It reflects a new energy related to Virgo. It has moved beyond the SN, the past. The new energy is about self-improvement, not for external validation, but for healing and helping others heal.
The inconjunct between Venus and Pluto is a blind spot that causes crisis. It is of the Scorpio type, in which we place our empowered selves into the social realm. Crisis arises when we experience power struggles. We must self-analyze and adjust ourselves accordingly.
The inconjunct between Venus and Neptune acts like Virgo. It is a blind spot in our perception that alerts us to its presence by creating a crisis. Neptune’s retrograde motion accelerates Venus’ journey through Virgo. As we attune to the ways we perceive imperfection, we face an existential crisis. We must adjust inwardly and find acceptance with who we are.
The sextile between Pluto and Neptune is a supportive element. It is accelerating our individuation and the stabilization of the new spiritualized self we are becoming.
The boomerang point is the NN at the last degree of Pisces. Integrating our future selves with a healed version of Venus in Virgo allows us to relate to ourselves and others in a way that all can heal.
