Hi everyone!
Only finished
this just before the New Moon! In the nick of time!
Post June
solstice and on the next leg of our solar journey towards the September
Equinox. That solstice certainly felt like a demarcation point, the watershed.
Do
you know where you’re going to?:
Setting the intent and investing our energy in
the new!
That’s the call at this time after the midpoint
of this solar year. As we reach for the peace, calm and flow of the river, so
we clear the old mental and emotional imprints of lifetimes. At the New Moon,
we set our intent for the next lunar month and the next Cancerian lunar year.
We follow up by putting our energies in to support that intent. Are you ready
and committed to paddle your own canoe along the peaceful river of
evolution?
Emotionally: A little churned up below the surface
maybe!
Letting go, letting go, letting go!
We’re
floating in a boat on the river under the Cancerian Sun. It may not feel as
calm and peaceful as depicted in this scene. In fact, you may have been feeling
a little churned up by some of the prevailing energies as we clear up
outstanding emotional issues and memories as we head towards the end of June.
The Cancerian energy looks to the past and takes us back to the past in
retrieving lost aspects, lost information as well as putting us in touch with
the ancestors.
With a New
Moon on 27th, we’re finishing up the lunar month of Gemini and those matters
which arose at the Full Moon in Sagittarius.
Mentally:
Mercury still retrograde in Gemini until 1st July
Mercury
still retrograde is adding to the clearance of muddled thinking and mind
matters. It tends to be a bit murky during this time as we sort and sift old
thinking, possibilities once thought tenable but discarded. We often go back
and retrieve these discarded projects as we find new worth in their potential.
It often requires some tweaking.
Physically
and emotionally detoxing
We’re still
working with the purification process and doing the detox, even though we are
through the karmic release of the pain/suffering body.
Areas
most vulnerable to blockages and clearances at this time:
Respiratory
system: Ears, nose, throat, lungs, breathing, speaking, hearing,
sinuses, lungs
It’s a
Gemini energy leading us up to the New Moon in Cancer on 27th and then until 1st
July when Mercury prepares to move direct. Mercury’s still retrograde and
really sorting us out. Along with the watery Cancerian energy, sneezing,
coughing is all part of the emotional clearing.
Nervous
system: Anxiety, tension, feeling on tenterhooks brought on by Mercury
in Gemini which rules the nerves
The
stomach and digestive system as so much emotional energy is held in
those areas of the body. Cancer rules the stomach. However, there is a
tendency to bury, hold onto emotions when the Sun is in Cancer and now with the
beginning of the Cancerian lunar month, even more. Pay special attention to
providing your body with foods which are agreeable at this time. That means
maybe offloading old habitual eating patterns. At least for this next
month.
What’s coming in:
A New Moon
in Cancer followed by Mercury stationing direct.
The
moon starts becoming visible within a couple of days of the New Moon.
Then we see the Crescent Moon, often identified as the manifestation of the New
Moon in the sky.
Slowing
of energies before and after Mercury’s turn around:
Remember
that there is a slowing of energies in the days preceding Mercury’s turn around
and in the few days following.
27th June:
New Moon in Cancer at 6.08 pm AEST at 5
degrees 37 Cancer
A new Moon,
a new start for the lunar month of Cancer.
Cancer
rules the past, family, ancestors, home, mothering, nurturing,
emotional security and place of belonging. Any and all of these areas may come
under the spotlight in the coming weeks.
The New
Moon can’t be seen in the sky. It’s a time of blackness, a time conducive to
the sowing of new seeds for the next lunar month.
The new
seeds will carry the growth energy for nurturing emotional security, the family,
the home and the beginnings of a sense and place of belonging.
Reclaiming
and resolving the past: the foundation of the future!
Cancer
energies often bring forward memories, experiences, people and projects from the
past. It’s up to us to resolve what needs to be resolved, to reclaim what needs
to be reclaimed and to take the best of our past as a new building block for the
future.
Moon and Sun aligned:
Potential
for balance of the inner and outer selves
A New Moon
means the Sun and Moon are talking the same language, the language of the
energies of Cancer.
The desire
to take action will be in tune with the desire to be still. At this time the
desire to ‘make things happen’ will be working in balance with the magnetic
force which manifests by attraction and resonating to the desired energy.
Resonate and emanate are this month’s keywords
for manifestation: It’s moon magic! Get out the moon wands!
Cancer is a
powerful magnetic energy, ruled as it is by the moon, a force of gravitation
which creates the tidal changes. The law of attraction will be empowered by
this month’s moon energies.
If you
desire abundance, emanate abundance, resonate to this energy. ‘Fake it till you
make it’ is an old saying which encapsulates the understanding of resonance. Use
affirmations or whatever works to quieten the demon voices of negativity.
No more hiding in the shell! No more
running away! The crab energy takes its power by facing the fears and ghosts of
the past!
Cancer
energies tend to make us protect ourselves from real or imagined dangers
happening in the world. The crab calls us to hide in the shell or scuttle off
sideways to avoid confrontations. This next month promises us support in facing
the demons of fear, the ghosts of the past and the ever present illusions that
can derail our plans so easily.
Fields of energy ripe for seeding at the Cancer New Moon: Make up your
mind and start!

Focus on
the future whilst reclaiming, resolving the past!
Seeding new possibilities for the family:
including
all definitions of family such as ancestors
Finding
family
Rediscovering
and reconnecting with family
Reuniting
with family
Creating
new templates for family living to build cohesion and loving connections
Creating
new templates for what makes a family
Clearing
past clutter, physical and emotional
Are you at
home in your present abode?
Make your
house a home
Relocating,
moving house
Renovating,
building
Seeding new possibilities for nurturing and
mothering of ourselves, loved ones and others
Decide to practise the following acts of
forgiveness:
Kindness in word and action to self and
others
Give
yourself a hug, a reprieve, time out
Allow
room for being human
Give
yourself a break. Stop driving yourself with the whip.
Discover what nourishes your
mind, body, heart and spirit
Coming home to
ourselves
Planetary
energies at the New Moon:
Moon
trine Neptune:
Positive, flowing
spiritual support for our new beginnings!
Land ho!
Lift up to see the bigger
picture!
It’s a
watery, emotional energy with the Moon and Neptune speaking sweet music to each
other. Neptune, the ocean of human consciousness, promises an elevation of our
perception of the way things are.
Any issues
around security arising at this New Moon have the potential to be swept
away...IF we are prepared to let them go.
1st July: Mercury stations/turns direct at
10.49 pm AEST at 24 degrees 23 Gemini
28th June to 4th July: Waiting for lift
off!
A
stillness while Mercury stations to move direct
Just be
aware that it seems like nothing is happening when a planet stations to change
direction, especially Mercury and Mars which are the planets which govern
movement in our everyday lives.
The balloon
is filling with the energy needed for lift off. Be cautious on these days as
sometimes these ‘stationing’ days are when things go haywire.
Mercury
in retrograde shadow until mid July:
Taking it easy with timing
and speed!
Remember to
give it a few days before we are free of the shadow retrograde energies, the
grey clouds of confusion which can block our clarity and our confidence in
stepping forth boldly into the future.
When can
I trust the change? Early July!
Without
doubt, we’ll start feeling the shift in the early days of July.
Mid
July: Humming along with other planetary changes! It’s all go!
We’ll be
back on track when Mercury will back in Cancer at about 3 degrees,
July:
Major inner changes
start manifesting in the physical dimension! Balloons at the
ready!
1st
July: Mercury moves direct in Gemini
16th
July: Jupiter moves into Leo (from Cancer) for the next year
21st
July: Saturn moves direct in Scorpio (retrograde since early March). Saturn
is all about physical manifestation!
22nd
July: Uranus turns retrograde in Aries. Uh oh! just a few course
corrections required!
26th
July: Mars moves into Scorpio, finally! (After an extended stay of nearly 8
months in Libra!) We won’t feel the full impact until after 26th.
This may
sound like a bunch of astrological gobbledygook. Be assured that July WILL see
some changes eventuating from all our months of inner work!
Sabian symbols for the planets at this New
Moon
The New
Moon Symbol below fits beautifully with the coming month of Cancer energies with
its focus on home and security.
From Lynda Hill:

This link gives the full list of symbols for all the planets at this
time.
The Sabian Symbol for this new Moon is Cancer 6: Game Birds Feather Their Nests.
The following interpretations are from my book The Sabian Oracle: 360 Degrees Of Wisdom -
The Sabian Symbol for this new Moon is Cancer 6: Game Birds Feather Their Nests.
The following interpretations are from my book The Sabian Oracle: 360 Degrees Of Wisdom -
The ‘Game Birds’ in this Symbol can picture the
desire for security in the midst of a rather unstable situation. ‘Birds Feather
Their Nests’ in readiness for a new life and new beginnings. These are ‘Game
Birds’, which can symbolize an unknown future, danger or threat in the
environment. Even though there is an optimistic feeling about the future and the
prospect of a new life beginning, there is the danger of being expendable, in
some way.
In your situation, endeavor to make yourself feel comfortable and right at home, however remember that security may only be temporary. Be careful not to become too complacent, but ensure that you aren’t frightened at any sudden surprises or moves. You may have to relinquish what you’ve built up or worked for and have to move on at some stage. If you can ensure that you are entirely safe and stable in this situation, you will most probably be able to build a bigger and better ‘Nest’ as time goes by. From another perspective, this can symbolize situations where the “parents” aren’t there to nurture and protect the “kids”. This may be in personal relationships or even a business situation. Also be careful that someone is not trying to kick you, or somebody else, out of a space that should rightfully be yours. Invasions from other ‘Birds’ can lead to one’s home being endangered, if not completely taken over by strangers. As human beings we have distanced ourselves from the “eat or be-eaten” world of nature. However, we have created other dangers for ourselves and hence the need for different strategies and survival techniques. Where can you find a place of security? This Symbol can act to remind us that we may be able to do many things in comfort and apparent safety, however, if others are controlling our environment there is still a danger which may have to be dealt with.
Keywords: Instinctive dedication for laying the groundwork for those to come. Creating a base where one can feel safe. Nurturing. Endangered habitat. Raising money. Making yourself or someone else comfortable. Interior decoration. Preparation. Home building. Landlords and tenants. Noisy or nosy neighbors. Renting vs. owning. Watching for danger. The nesting instinct. Renovations. Babies rooms.
The Caution: Being unnecessarily afraid to venture out on “one’s own”. Taking over other people’s territory. Feeling unwanted. Danger. Fussing over small details. Over-preparation. Not knowing how long one can hold out in a situation. Being vulnerable to change. Being at the mercy of others.

Lauren Gorgo’s latest update:
‘Ceremony of Honour: your
degree in mastery’
Quote
from above:
‘For those of you still in the thick of it, realize that the Wesak
season…which kicked up the bulk of our remaining density and lingering karmic
debris….also ends here, which means smoother sailing ahead. In April/May we
went thru a major unhooking from the tendrils of our past and in some cases we
are still resolving these energies. If you are not yet feeling relief from that
major uprooting, know that there are mere moments left in this suffocating band
of seemingly endless darkness…that much is certain.
From
what I am seeing/hearing, we are still being sucked up in the backdraft of an
incoming and giant wave of LOVE, the likes of which I have never sensed before,
and after this energy peaks it will crash upon our shores in a rush of forward
sweeping motion. Then, as it recedes, it will effectively wash all loosened
remains from our former life out to sea. This, I am told, will be a “momentous
ending” to a Herculean purification cycle.
In
my mind this means: time for some rapid resolutions to some long standing (core)
issues…and with a side order of long-overdue replenishment
please.
In
the mind of the star beings this means: time to receive our
diplomas!’
