New Moon in Cancer
6th July 8.27 am ACST
A powerful moon for healing and growth and setting intentions and equally powerful in bringing things from the depths that ready to
As we begin this month, we are in Saturn retrograde in Pisces now until November 15th and will move from 190 degrees back to 12 during this time and these are potent degrees of the Zodiac – here activating letting things go and the ability to put down the sword. Stop the fight – with yourself and the world – it is time to reach for peace. What is interesting here is it is travelling alongside the asteroid Nessus – ancestral healing – shadow – deep generational wounds of the darker side – and Nessus is also retrograde – you get the picture. It is useful to remember this when things stir – not all wounds are down to us – however if we have the courage to face them and heal them then the whole blood line is healed.
July really is a magical month this year – beginning with the Sirius Gateway – the conjunction between our star Sol and Sirius – our spiritual star that many ancient monuments align with. And this gateway from the 1st to the 7th of July incorporates the Cancer New Moon – Decan 2 – on the 6th – falling in the heart of it as it were. This gateway raises our vibration energetically and unlocks a deeper wisdom held within our DNA – recharging us – body and soul – and this energy is connected to freedom and a technology of mind – beyond devices – which are just the stepping stone.
On the 2nd we have Mercury moving into Leo – passionate and fiery – adding to this month’s ability to learn to communicate deeply and from the heart. There is much healing possibility in this and always remember you heart cannot lie so pay attention this month – listen to it rather than the mind and there is much to gain in these healing energies from this. Your insights will grow as Mercury travels through Leo and groups and individuals may rise in power and passion to defend a deep sovereignty of being against the propaganda manipulation and may meet very stubborn and fixed views in opposition as they rise and these may be difficult to counter. Avoid getting caught in circuitous arguments or fights to the end – as Sun Tzu says – pick your battles wisely.
Mercury opposes Pluto on July 2nd to 4th – stirring the pot and during this time observe the mind with detached awareness – do not engage in obsessive thinking, confrontations, power struggles or airing of dirty linen and non-useful disclosure and secret revelations. Other things with Mercury later in July as it squares with Uranus on the 21st – first of three for the year – will add volatility and exposure of serious crowd numbing exposure – which will prove interesting in the year of the election where the stacked supreme court there just killed democracy [or any pretence at it at this stage lol]
This opposition creates a battle of ideas within your self or with competitors and be mindful of not focusing too single mindedly on this. This is the time to research and examine all aspects of the issue – within and without – clear the decks – discover the secrets and move on. Your thinking may become a little obsessive so practice mindfulness or get help if you feel stuck. Opinions can lean to the extreme with this energy however there is also the opportunity to find some transformational aha moments moving forward. In this particular alignment we can expect an uptick of manipulation and propaganda to reach high levels from those pretending to be in charge and it is important to watch your own attempts to be coercive to get your way – this will ultimately backfire. Conspiracy theories and false messiahs will abound so be careful what you accept as a truth.
Also on the 2nd we have Neptune stationing retrograde in Pisces. This will dredge things up to the surface and allow us to see through any illusions we are holding – to stay safe – when in fact what we are holding is far more harmful than the truth. Neptune lifts the veil and lets us see what is real and at this time illusions can shatter and many will experience profound unhousing moments – where what they thought was real is not – having peeps wonder – what else am I kidding myself about. It is very discombobulating – however useful – and allows us to take off the rose coloured glasses. Here until 7th of December – many things will be cleared up during this time and much of this will not be comfortable.
Neptune retrograde can strip away illusions and false realities and this can increase anxiety as the fantasy world falls away and some of this can lead to some harsh realities becoming evident – about your love life, finances or career future. The point is the further you have travelled from the truth or the bigger your escape into altered states of denial [drugs, gambling, p**n et al] – the bigger the shock when reality bites. These ‘unhousing’ events are always painful and always expanding if you work with them and again get help if needed. See what is there for you – embrace it – it was always held within you and is just a sign of awakening – however difficult.
A new relationship or critical event could be the trigger here and as Neptune rules the world of victim consciousness, addiction, self sacrifice, delusions and illusions – one can expect guilt, self pity, humiliation, betrayal, anxiety, loneliness or depression to be part of what unfolds. Phobias, hypochondriasis, and paranoia can also rise so be mindful of this along with being mindful of not buying into too many theories of world ending scenarios or returns of something to save you from above.
America – going through the upheaval of its Pluto return – and apparently dying now – certainly its terrorism state nature is being exposed warts and all – as Jupiter in Gemini expands exposure – Neptune dissolves boundaries – and Jupiter smacks it all directly on the 4th of July – meaning people are truly going to see how ugly that country is and how meaningless and pointless their lives have become in the daily grind of it all. Neptune in its most challenging aspect here – will make the programming overt – the coercion and control fall down – the drugs and mental illnesses climb through the roof. In the line up of the heavenly bodies unfolding this year and next dear ones - it all points to things coming to an end – big time.
Then on the morning of the 6th in the portal of the Sirius gateway we have the New Moon in Cancer initiating a new lunar cycle of 28 days – a time of planting and intention. The first new moon of spring post Winter Solstice here in the southern hemisphere and is a potent moon for initiating clear intent for the year ahead. This is a very positive energy for all so make the most of it – write your list after some quiet contemplation this week for what you are planning for the difficult year to come. It will facilitate the shedding of the blocks and the clearing of the fields to allow new growth.
Here we have Moon conjoining Sun with Venus aligned and beginning to rise in the evening sky from July 11th. A call to home and Venus here in Cancer the emphasis is on the home and family life and the safety and acceptance it brings when all are connected and real with each other. The New Moon in Cancer is opposite Ceres and the fixed star is Sirius in Canis Major. Family values are highly emphasised at this time and with good parenting the family is safe – and more financial success is likely to flow to us – if the family is solid and the blocks are cleared.
This moon reminds us we can continue to begin again in all things – in fact we are born anew to each day with a new ego each day – and we are reminded powerfully at this moon to be in each moment in love – thinking of those we love – clearing the decks of what stands in the way of a strong and loving family. This means practicing self love dear ones – the beginning of it all. There really is a beautiful soft energy around this moon and with the amplification of the Sirius portal energy – we can all see things clearly and well and let go with love where we need to.
This is a powerful time of healing, restoration and rebuilding. This will last for several weeks from now although will be strongest at the new moon. Heart energies are amplified – softness is real as we connect with the truth of our feelings – and be able to act on that with self love guiding the way. People may find themselves feeling a lot more sensitive than usual with a genuine compassion, love and forgiveness for all we are unpacking. With this enhanced sensitivity and with Neptune retro now – it behoves all to not take on what is not yours – to know the difference between what is yours and what is not as you allow a new freedom to be yourself unfold. This energy will bring a lot to the surface and it is time to clear the muck from old wounds, preconceived ideas – that are not even your own – angst and triggers – with these healing energies we can really let go and grow.
Some of the themes here may include past traumas from harsh upbringings and it is important to be kind and empathetic if any of that is arriving around you or from within. This is not a time to be out in the chaotic wilds of the external world but to sit quietly – in a community you know and feel safe within. Avoid the plebs and unpleasant types at this moon and beyond dear ones.
Ceres – the large asteroid – retrograde in Capricorn from May to August this year – is closely aligned with this New Moon in Cancer. This powerful emblem of the mother goddess – aligned with the power of the Moon in Cancer and so the energies of nurturing, caregiving, mother-child relationships, maternal love, parenting, nourishment and fertility issues are all coming to the fore now. This is another energy feeding into financial issues and it is not at all uncommon for financial problems and solutions needing to be found to rise now.
Darker themes of custodial issues over children, abductions, narcissism and the devouring mother – Noyobi – the hand that rocks the cradle – can also emerge so be on your guard now. Grief, loss and the unconditional love and its ability to heal all things are here. Remember you are never given anything you cannot handle – no matter what the mad mind may throw at you – stay Zen and grow.The cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will feel it strongest however all will be impacted by this double energy in the retrograde build up moving forward. A divine wake up call indeed. Venus is also active at this New Moon in Cancer. The heart will be engaged in all unfoldings.
Sirius at 14 degrees is the fixed star here. Long associated with fame an high profile, strong ambition and reaching the top of the totem pole – this can also bring its own dangers amongst this energy. In ancient times this Sirius was also associated with fevers and pestilence aswell as temper and fiery ambition so it behoves all to be mindful of this. The myth of Isis – devoted wife of Osirus rises from Sirius and she is also tied to Cancer and the Moon – granted the ability to resurrect and breathe life into the dead.
On the 6th of July we have Chiron [about to station retrograde in Aries from 23rd July until December 26th 2024] square Venus in Cancer and this will add to the mix of tension in old childhood wounds and other matters of the heart that will continue the deep dive into healing with positive outcomes. On the 11th Venus transits into passionate Leo and that adds to the passion of sorting things out – guides us to put ourselves and our needs first and foremost – with love as the guide – and time for play as well. The Sun and Saturn align here also adding to our productive ability to get things done – and be mindful that Karma related issues may rise here for resolution.
One the 12th of July we have Venus in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius and can be very challenging in relationship to power struggles going on in your life. Issues of control – exerting it over others or being controlled are the theme here. Again the admonition is to let the heart decide the truth of the matter and do what has to be done to resolve it or walk away. Avoid power ‘struggles’ or arguments about the truth. You may find yourself having some pretty intense conversations around this time or equally predatorial issues may rise. The asteroid Juno is also in play here and any marital issues that began from November last year can now find resolution if you do this well.
On the 15th July we have the Sun square Chiron [stationing retrograde in Aries a few days later] and anything still nagging in the healing journey – particularly re childhood patterns and wounds. You will have progressed a lot this year and are likely to see how far you have come along with clear insight in what still needs to resolve. Today is the day to move forward if it rises. Also on this day we have Mars conjunct Uranus – both in Ta**us – so be mindful on the road and with knives and with getting into ideological arguments with fixed belief types. It could get ugly quickly.
Then on the 20th we have Mars transiting into Gemini just before the blue moon – the second Full Moon in Capricorn in the sign of Cancer. So it is a very healing and intense journey from here on in for the month dear ones – make it yours – own your own pain – you are the only one who can heal it – take on nobodies projections and nor inflict such things on others. It is a potent healing lovely time with much light and love to help all along the way.
Also from July until December this year we have the potent Jupiter square Saturn influencing us. The direct square hits on August 19th and again on December 24th however it begins now and will influence the rest of the year. This energy will trigger all we were going through at the great conjunction of December 2020 – ushering in the Age of Aquarius – so we can expect a revisit and review of all that has unfolded since then. The actions required from this transition will be put into deeper movement and with Jupiter now in Gemini and Saturn in Pisces we can expect friction and tension as the old world crumbles and the new world rises.
