You can practically hear Mother Earth’s cry under the July 11 New Moon eclipse in Cancer. The devastating oil spill affects us all, and it’s time to take action. Mars-in-Virgo's supportive sextile to the New Moon lends necessary energy and drive. In your personal life, re-center yourself on what really matters. How might this eclipse look for you?

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

You're cleaning things up on the home and job front at this New Moon, Aries. Due to recent changes that have improved your health, you now possess the energy and will to make the fresh start you've been craving. Whether it's revamping your abode or making a commitment to improve relations with family or co-workers, this eclipse says, "Go for it!" Channeling any excess energy by volunteering for a cause you believe in brings joy.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Your compassionate words are hitting home at this New Moon, Taurus, as you speak out for something you believe in. Now you're able to gain agreement on a detailed plan for a creative project, or persuade a child or romantic partner to go along with your program. Even if you have to change horses halfway through due to a brilliant new idea or a change in your immediate environment, you'll be rewarded for your flexible approach.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

This New Moon brings a shift in your values and self-worth, Gemini, and therefore your earning potential. Are you using your talents to make a difference? Are you connecting deeply with others who see your value and are willing to pay you as much as you're worth? Considering these things will help you build a stronger platform, make home improvements you've been longing for and boost relations with family members.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

This New Moon strikes at the heart of your very identity, Cancer. You may be questioning your path in life, your role in the family structure or your ability to make it on your own. Search your deepest heart for what matters most to you, then commit to it. Write down your goal and a realistic timeline for making it happen. Don't worry about how it's going to manifest -- the path will grow clear as you begin to take the first steps.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

A lightning bolt from the blue can shake you free from an old pattern at this New Moon, Leo. It may come as an unsettling dream, a sudden intuition or the revelation of a secret. Whatever form it takes, this new awareness awakens your compassion and desire to help. You may feel inspired to draft a financial plan or tweak your budget so you can be of service to those in need. Paradoxically, this could boost your own financial status.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

You've always been a compassionate person, Virgo, but this New Moon takes it up a notch. You may feel inspired to join a group or commit yourself to a social cause, as serious reform is on your mind. You're the one with the detailed plan, so write it down and others will jump in to help. This dovetails nicely with a work or health project that's finally moving forward; friends come out of the woodwork now to support your efforts.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

If you've been doing a lot of spiritual or emotional work on yourself lately, Libra, it's about to pay off in the form of a big career shift. This new direction could catch you off guard, though, if you don't have a practice that centers you, like yoga or meditation. You're moving out of your comfort zone, perhaps by taking on more responsibility or paying closer attention to the needs of the public. Opening your heart reveals the way.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Your long-term direction is shifting at this New Moon, Scorpio, as you catch a glimpse of a more meaningful future. This may be closely tied to a group involvement or commitment to a social cause you've recently made. You're uniquely suited to being the organizer, so give others their marching orders and they'll obey. Pay attention to a flash of insight from your higher self, perhaps while on a trip. It could restore your faith in life.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

An unexpected change in what you thought was a committed situation -- whether relational or financial -- could unsettle you at this New Moon, Sagittarius. It's time to let go and allow necessary changes to happen. An older person or boss has good advice about this matter; take heed. A detailed plan you draft to promote your career or calling in life could end up bringing you greater rewards than you dreamed possible.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Have you been giving your heart and soul to your relationship, Capricorn? If not, you'll experience the repercussions at this New Moon. Others in general are letting you know their needs, demanding that you crack your shell of reserve. The long-term results of listening to your "public" will be amazing, so drop your fears and open up. A series of classes, counseling sessions or a trip may be necessary to bring about success.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

How are your work and health habits, Aquarius? This New Moon wants you to take better care of yourself, and could shake you up a bit if you haven't been doing so. Now is the time for a good cry or some heartfelt sharing with a loved one to release pent-up emotions. Deep insights are bound to arise from this, along with a plan of action that will work well for you. Reorganizing your finances can also improve your work situation.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Your heart is opening wide to a child or romantic partner at this New Moon, Pisces. Your dedicated efforts at fixing the relationship are paying off now in the new direction you can see unfolding -- even if the road feels a bit bumpy at the moment. You are also seeing developments with a creative project to which you've been applying your imaginative efforts. Taking a risk on a speculative matter should bring rewards now.
