Every month during each New Moon, the Moon, {and women as well} transform into a most mysterious and magical phase and disappear into the depths for three days. Every New Moon we begin again with a new rebirth and emotional cycle. A new Moon is a very private personal journey. For women if you are in touch with the natural moon’s cycles it is the time of bleeding. It’s a special time out time, to retreat to your Moon Lodge, yurt, red tent, bath or bedroom. Go into your own intuitive body wisdom.
New Moons are the best time to set new intentions, cleanse your crystals and accompany the Moon into her dark liminal spaces.
I don’t know who to credit this to.
This Cancer New Moon is an intense one reactivating the Cardinal Cross energy from the Sun and Moon in Cancer to Uranus in Aries and a wide opposition to Pluto. Cancer is focused on nurturing, emotional security, safety, home and busting out of the old cycles. Cancer is the sign of the mother, the root chakra, the 4th house, our childhoods, our parents and our cultural upbringing.
NEW MOON is at July 15 @ 6:24 pm PDT/ 9:24 pm EDT/ July 16, @ 1:24 am GMT
This event should be renamed Pluto’s Cardinal Cross resurrection Moon. The New Frontiers space bot is beaming back our first up close and personal photos of Pluto the day before.
There are oppositions, squares and aspects you can’t even pronounce galore.
Mercury conjuncts Mars and they are in an exact opposition to Pluto, reigniting the Grand Cardinal cross degrees from this March. The synchronicity of the New Frontiers fly by are phenomenal. Mars and Pluto, the co-rulers and conspirators of Scorpio are in cahoots and up to major revolutionary upheavals. Pay attention to banking, the Stock exchanges of the world and governments in chaos and major signs of revolution.
Mercury and Mars are conjunct to Fixed Star SIRIUS and the U.S. Sun.
Mars and Saturn are in a tight 135 degree aspects called a sesquiquadrate, a square and a half. Hacking? Fracking? People will be tense and angry. Danger of accidents, riots, explosions.
Venus is also sesquiquadrate to PLuto. Don’t push the river. Stay away from those looking for fights. The two most difficult planets are involved in this energy. Stock market volatility!
Mars and Mercury in Cancer are inconjunct to Asteroid Athena in Sagittarius.
Inspiration and emotions must learn to work together, Not overly masculinzed femininity nor too sentimentally emotional. There is inspiration and new learning available through Athena.
Mercury is also squaring URANUS exact July 18, urging us to think beyond homeland safety and security to go beyond to New horizons and new frontiers.
July 25 Mars squares Uranus what starts slow will build over the 10 day period.
This is very volatile energy. Take the Higher octave of Uranus’s consciousness and see the big picture. Where is the emotional connection to a higher vision? That’s what needs to be followed.
GRAND WATER TRINE
Speaking of roots, the Lotus grows out of the mud. Saturn at 28 degrees Scorpio Retrograde is trine to Chiron in Pisces and to the SUN MOON forming a Grand Water Trine. Time to let go, forgive, have compassion, heal and move on.
For places in drought like Southern California, where I am heading July 14 into the fray. This New Moon is great for praying for rain and doing rain dances and aligning with the powers of water and going with the evolutionary currents of life. I will be doing rain dances there. It has been very wet in Toronto. I’m escaping the Pan Am games.
VENUS and JUPITER in LEO
are now 5 degrees apart in Leo. Venus, at that infamous 29th degree is squaring Saturn. This is tough love. But Love is the way. Love and bravery, strength, will, passion,and desire overcome even death, Saturn in Scorpio, karmic obstacles. Jupiter is the planet of the Master Spiritual teachers, of Higher knowledge and sacred Law brings all of his energy to the table with Venus. Feel your heart expand beyond any limitations. Breathe from your heart and breathe in the entire universe. You are a God/Goddess, a divine co-creator
Venus is slowing down getting ready to turn Retrograde on July 25 at 1 degree Virgo. She turns direct on September 6 at 14 degrees Leo. She is making Her journey into the Underworld with Saturn to re-emerge as the Dawn Star. Venus invites us to also disappear into the mists.
Think now about healing old heartaches, what makes your heart sing, makes you flush with pride. Also a great time to finish up old creative projects at this New moon till the Full Moon on July 31. Review your budget, Venus rules money. It’s secluded Love and reclusive times with Venus Retrograde, yes, even in Leo. The love vibes will be subtler, many relationships will end.
Ceres, the Great Mother, Gaia is at 4 degrees Aquarius, a new vision of equality for the earth and women. She is sextile the South Node at 3 degrees Aries-indicating an ease in letting go of old battles and domination. She is in a wide sextile to VESTA Goddess of Money,focus and sexual healing at 10 degrees Aries. The three form a Finger of God or YOD aspect to JUNO Goddess of feminine Genius in Virgo.
A Yod points to energies which are attempting to co-facilitate a rather difficult melding of elements. Juno at 5 degrees Virgo is opposite Neptune in Pisces, and square Saturn in Scorpio.
Questions to ponder at this New Moon:
What nourishes my soul the most? What do I need to quench my thirst? Where do I need to prune, fertilize or weed at the foundation of my being to enable new growth?
GODDESS OF THE CANCER NEW MOON –Yemaya
Cancer New Moon is about connecting with the Great mother energy of Yemaya, the African Goddess of the Living Oceans. Yemaya protects mothers and children. She is connected to mermaids, and Atlantis and Lemuria. She is ancient. Her colors are blue and white and peacocks are sacred to her, as they are to Lakshmi Indian Goddess of wealth and beauty.
Set up your alter, have blue and white crystal stones of your choosing.
Have blue and white candles one for each direction.
have bowls of water, and peacock feathers, or images of them.
Sit in the dark and light the candles sunwise in the traditional way that works for you.
Breathe and remember being a fish, an amoeba, a single-celled creature when the oceans were primeval. remember being a whale. Yu carry these memories within you. Call upon Yemaya to come and protect you. Feel her energies. Call upon the peacock to bring you wealth and creativity. Ask the questions, above about love, values, what nourishes you. take your time. Pour water into the bowls. Sing, keen or chant. Allow song to move through you. Feel as if you are swimming in the ocean of the Great Mother. WHen you are ready slowly come out of your meditation.
A deep unearthing of spiritual wisdom, which we all carry deeply encoded in our souls’s memories. is what we need to bring our tap roots to these at this New MOON.
Please share widely and do respond please I love to hear from you. I want to know who you are. come forwards.
