July 2023: New moon in Cancer
Tarot spread, journaling questions, an astro-tarot forecast and an exploration of the the Sabian symbol for this new moon.
The July 2023 new moon falls in the sign of Cancer, and highlights the concept of home. Where we lay down our roots, the people we consider family, and more importantly, this body that we inhabit, which is our home on this planet that we call home.
This new moon also highlights the need to ground – into the home we live in, the land we move on, the body we inhabit, and the thoughts we engage with. How can we create a sanctuary, a meeting place, for ourselves and the ones we love? That’s the focus of this Cancer new moon.
To throw some more light on the July new moon astrology, let’s take a look at the astro-tarot influences of this lunation. The Cancer new moon falls in decan 3, which is represented by the Four of Cups. This is to be interpreted in conjunction with The Chariot, which is associated with Cancer.
You’ll find the full astro-tarot forecast, tarot spread and journaling questions, as well as an exploration of the Sabian Symbol on the website.
Thank you for making these tarot spreads a part of your new and full moon rituals! Creating these each month is a labor of love, and your support keeps me going. Please support this offering by sharing it with your like-minded friends, and inviting them to subscribe to this newsletter too.

Are you interested in learning art witchery, establishing your own art witch practice, and using mixed media art as a spiritual tool? Join me on Moonshine 2023 - a year-long journey into the realm of moon-based art witchery in all its glorious forms, hosted by Effy Wild!
You will be joining a coven of art witches, some of whom {including me} have been in the program since its inception in this format six years ago!
Here’s what you get:
Membership in this year’s Moonshine Coven + Lifetime membership in Moonshine Cafe (both on Facebook).
Lifetime access to the course materials.
A monthly PDF of written musings, including an art witch primer with suggested activities and resources that, when collected over the course of the year, forms a complete training system in art witchery. Included within the course materials are art witch tips, new essential oil blends, astro-tarot forecasts, oracle reading layouts, herbal lore and crystal lore.
A full-length monthly painting tutorial (downloadable video + PDF walkthrough).
Documentation for each full and new moon, both of which include astro-tarot forecasts and oracle reading layouts.
A new painting demonstration for the new moon (filmed live on Zoom so we can paint together + offered as a downloadable replay for those who can’t attend live).
A new painting demonstration for the full moon (offered as a downloadable pre-recorded speed painting) with notes on how I’m engaging the current energies.
A live activation gathering on Zoom in the first week of the month (also offered as a downloadable replay). In these gatherings, we read the content together, do Q&A, check-ins and draw a tarot card to establish our ‘coven work’ (optional) for the month.
A coupon code for $90 off for next year’s Moonshine 2024.
This experience is meant to give you deep training in art witchery AND mixed media art as a spiritual tool with an emphasis on establishing your own art witch practice based on thorough, scaffolded guidance that will get you sound, self-possessed, and in pursuit of your most deeply held desired outcomes.
