The Cycle.
Twenty-six days from the last New Moon (June 15th). Twelve nights beyond the Full Moon before it (June 29th, the Strawberry Moon). We are at the very end of the waning arc now — the last waning crescent, thin and low, three nights from dark. This is not a day for holding on. It's the day integration finally empties out, so something new has room to enter.

Ahead.
We're already living inside two retrogrades at once. Mercury turned retrograde on the 29th of June and won't turn direct again until the 23rd — so communication, plans, and old conversations are still doubling back on themselves, asking to be revisited rather than rushed. But tomorrow evening brings the retrograde's one true aperture: the Sun meets Mercury in exact cazimi — a brief, genuine clearing in the middle of the fog, when what's been circling for weeks becomes briefly legible. Neptune stationed retrograde on the 7th, a shift already underway: the veil between inner knowing and outer noise thins further, and the pull is inward, toward dreams, intuition, and whatever you've been quietly sensing but not yet naming.

Ahead of us, the New Moon in Cancer rises on the 14th — just three days out now, and close enough to feel — the true beginning this whole waning stretch has been clearing space for. And the month's far horizon holds the 29th: a Full Moon in Aquarius, met that very day by the Sun's exact conjunction with newly-arrived Jupiter in Leo — expansion and faith stepping fully into the light at once.

The Approaching: Cazimi, then New Moon.
The Sun-Saturn square has passed; its question — what in you asks to be held, and what asks to be disciplined — has presumably already done its quiet work. What's gathering now, at the edges of today, is a two-step arrival: tomorrow's moment of clarity, then Tuesday's beginning.

Cancer new moons ask for something tender: not a five-year plan, but a felt sense of what you want to tend. Tomorrow's cazimi will briefly light that intention up — showing you, in plain terms, what it actually is — before Tuesday asks you to plant it. Today's task is simpler than either: let it form underneath language, the way a feeling forms before the sentence that names it. Don't reach for the words yet. They arrive tomorrow. The planting comes Tuesday. Today, just notice what's arriving.
