Welcome to my first blog post! Each month I will post a write-up on the New Moon and the Full Moon. So let's jump right into the thick of things...this new moon cycle comes with some heavy emotional impacts.
Paradise is home.
Home as it was
Or home as it should have been...
Yet every child
Is cast from paradise-
Into growth and new community,
Into vast, ongoing change.” ― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower
This new moon also has it's North Node in Scorpio in the 6th house and it's South Node
in Taurus in the 12th house. The North Node represents your path in life and oftentimes
points towards karmic patterns that need to be resolved in this one. The South
Node represents your past, what you are shedding and what needs to be left
behind. Here the North node tell us that we must come out of isolation and work
through our self-undoing. Fulfillment can come through service and connection. The South node tells us that we must transform
ourselves. By embracing the divine will and submitting to spirit we can
cultivate the gifts of our higher selves and the highest good. Releasing the
weight of the past or the mistakes that make us ashamed of who we’ve been will
guide us toward regeneration.
Mercury Retro to July 20th
We can’t forget that Mercury is retrograde in 18 degrees of Cancer until July 20th.
Cancer-a cardinal sign, fixed sign- is prone to flare up with all this
emotional upheaval, especially in the face of continued miscommunication
issues. With Mercury being influenced by Wasat in the second decan of Cancer.
Of a Saturine nature, this star lends itself towards pessimism. Aside from
that, it gives the quality of being able to speak with clear authority when
others are wavering[ii].
Together, this combination could lead our perspectives to be jaded, and our
feelings affect the way we see things. This is the time to do more listening
than speaking, to go inward and stay in alignment with our truth.
Water Trine:
Jupiter is in Cancer as well, in the
first decan, owned by the star Tejat Posterior (in the constellation of
Gemini). It is forming a powerful trine to Neptune and Saturn- all in water
signs. With all of this very emotional, watery energy, our best bet is to ride
it out by just flowing with it and not trying to work against it. Surround
yourself in beauty and inundate your mind with things that move your emotions
and your spirit. Tejat Posterior (also known as Dirah or Al
Han'ah)[iii] has the energy of Venus, pulling us
further towards the arts and self-expression. With Neptune is retrograde until
November. Our senses are high and we are intuiting everything. This is good
because now we can see through the fog of Neptune a bit more clearly.
Saturn:
Saturn tells us where our deepest learning is and shows us where our challenges are. Expressing itself through Scorpio- Saturn shows us what we’ve been denying, hiding, and where the power struggles are. Here we find questions of ego, self-delusion, and psychic ability. With the new moon under the influence of Sirius, how will we connect to the water element- the feminine, the brightest star in the northern hemisphere- in order to chart the course back the wholeness? What are we willing to sacrifice? This begs us to ask ourselves: how will we transform? Are we willing to trust yourselves enough to follow our instincts? How are we caring for yourself? Does our speech reflect your feelings? At what point do we cease the process of intellectualizing the spiritual, and return to the work? And what will transformation (Uranus-Pluto square) look like after we've purged?
For more information on how this moon relates to you and what areas of life it affects, look to your second house and/or where your moon falls in your chart. Also, check your water signs to see what will be impacted. You can view your chart for free here.
