The New Moon on July 20, 2020, will bring some new changes with it. This is the second time this year that the New Moon will be in Cancer and while that means safety is associated with home, there are some frustrations too. You might face some personal challenges even as you want to move forward and try new things. However, you could feel boxed in and restricted by your surroundings. This may not be a good time to take big risks and while that could test your patience, stay put.

All of us might be better off planning everything step-by-step and being realistic about our goals. Don't give up on your ambitions though, just keep them aside for a bit for now. You might have to focus on the basics for now. Here's how the July 20 new moon is going to affect you:

1. Aries

You might have to focus on the home front before you can focus on your dream career. That also means dealing with your inner self and prepping yourself for a hard time ahead. Hard, only because you have to reign in your ambition for now, and instead work on healing deep wounds. You can start with decluttering your home and your mind. Get rid of all that doesn't serve you anymore.

It is not easy for someone as resolute as Taurus to change but you might have to look at the broader picture to move forward. You might find yourself working on your communication style and easing into your daily schedule better. You are forcing yourself to look out of your comfort zones for new experiences and that can even mean reading a genre of book you have never picked before. Whether you're having difficult conversations or trying a new cuisine, it's about challenging yourself right now.

You are ready to go hook, line, and sinker for your dream life and goals but that might not happen immediately. You might find yourself reeling yourself in and checking in with reality a little more. You will have to take a breather and step away from those dreams to do some assessment. Are you mentally ready for it? Are you not overworking yourself? Have you been able to set your boundaries well? When you prioritize your mental wellbeing, the rest will follow.

This has probably been an intense time for you, it's your season after all. While the focus should be on yourself, you may have gotten pulled into taking care of others, who are closest to you. It may be that your partner, closest friends, or family have deep emotional needs and you feel obligated to support them. Sometimes, that can be at the cost of your own well-being and that can hurt you. If you set some boundaries and communicate that to others while being mindful of theirs, it will help improve your bonds with them.

This is a time for seeking some quiet time and while the social Leo is not used to of it, you might be craving it. Your responsibilities may be proving to be a bit much and could be pulling you away from your dreams. Don't forget to rest and take care of yourself as much as you like to nurture your loved ones. You might find yourself seeking more balance in life right now, between your dreams and your daily life.

You are an Earth sign that believes in serving others first and foremost. You are practical and task-oriented though that can leave you gasping for a breather from time to time. You are so busy taking care of others that you forget about your needs and that can cause you to burn out. Your learning this month is all about being patient with yourself. When you work yourself to death, there won't be anything more to offer others. Don't be afraid of asking for help.

7. Libra

You might be finding it hard to find a balance between home and professional life. You prefer maintaining a balance between all the different aspects in your life but the circumstances might be stopping you from it. You are teetering between a rock and a hard place but there will be a better time on the horizon soon. You might have to prepare yourself meanwhile for some new challenges.

8. Scorpio

You are all about the bigger picture right now and while that is great, you may be losing sleep about the finer details. There are many important things going on in the world that have your attention but don't forget to take care of yourself while you do that. Change often starts close to home and while you are thinking of changing the world, don't let the home front be ignored. Great conversations can stem from these times.

9. Sagittarius

You are an independent person and you love having your space. During your "me" time, you are thinking about your innermost thoughts and feelings but the daily responsibilities might seem burdensome. You want to think about your relationships and how they have evolved over time but you are just too busy crossing the t's and dotting the i's for now. You want to try your hand at new things but something might be stopping you. If it's not a big risk, go ahead with it but make sure to keep everything well recorded.

10. Capricorn

You are a practical problem solver and that means that you are at people's service often. It could leave you disgruntled since you are not able to take care of your personal business while helping others. Before it builds resentment, you might want to create some boundaries. After all, if you don't express what you are going through others won't know about it. They won't know how it's making you feel so keep the channels of communication open.

11. Aquarius

You are an intellectual but from time to time, your dreams take over your rational thought processes. You may find it hard to extricate yourself from that state of mind even when there is a to-do list waiting for your attention. Don't let the list overwhelm you and ask for help when necessary. Help might be easy to find among your family and partner, who are waiting for you to open up to them.

12. Pisces

Since Pisces is also a water sign like Cancer, they are also going to be deeply affected by the New Moon in cancer. You might be vulnerable right now and need your tribe around you for support. However, all the ideas and projects you have thought of may seem so urgent that you forget this crucial step of seeking feedback. Let people in since you are not alone in this. You might find that your partner is ready to back you up completely.
