Hi everyone!
We are well and truly in the arms of the Goddess
energy, even if you feel like you’re in a spinning whirlpool.
Cancer is the Divine Mother, the mother energy within
us all, the feminine energy within us all, men and women.
Nothing less than surrender will get us through.
Keep going with the flow!
I am reminded of one of Sai Baba’s mantras ‘Trust,
accept, surrender’.
We’ve been swept into the arms of the divine feminine
energies of watery emotion and the swirling eddies are cleansing and purifying
us all at a deep level with core issues surfacing within the personal, political
and global existence.
If you’re not feeling the challenging influences of
these energies, be grateful for having time out from it all.
Cancer: the mother/matriarchal energies –
June/July time each year
Capricorn: the father/patriarchal energies
– December/January each year
Why are we affected by the cosmic energies at
different times and in different ways:
It’s personal: We experience the
energies through our own personal astrology of our natal and progressed planets
which are ‘pinged’ by the present movement of planets. If you’ve been feeling
the influence of these energies in a profound way, it’s highly likely your
personal astrology chart and natal placement of planets is being impacted.
It’s transpersonal: We also experience the energies through our national chart (place
of birth and/or ‘adopted’ country).
Your nation’s natal chart may be feeling the
influence of the planets.
One example, just a quick glance shows me that Egypt
has 3 planets in Cancer which have been deeply affected by so many planets
moving over their natal Cancerian planets and activating the Uranus/Pluto square
which is all about rebellion and change.
The USA has 5 planets in Cancer with USA's Sun on 13 degrees Cancer, so also being activated by the Uranus/Pluto Square.
Australia: I brought this topic
up because we’re having our challenges here in Australia. In Australia’s chart,
Pluto, Lord of the Underworld is sitting on Australia’s Sun/identity at 10
degrees Capricorn (government, institutions, power brokers, patriarchy,
tradition). All the political and mainstream media activity instrumental in
deposing Australia’s first female PM, is exposing the dark underbelly of the
Australian psyche and identity. This is stirring up a lot of emotion for
everyone, even if they’re not interested in politics. Australia’s chart is
being activated as well as was the PM’s personal chart.
The United Kingdom also has a Capricorn Sun at 10 degrees so, like Australia, is having a deep transformation of its identity and place in the world.
From oppression, suppression, repression, depression to
EXPRESSION:
Just remember, whatever’s happening ‘out there’ wherever
you are, is the reflection of the changes happening in each one of us. Deep
unresolved core issues within us, within our nation, within our global
existence, are being flushed out, released sometimes with anger and passion.
Returning to vibrancy and passion:
Memories and karmic burdens are being released and healed...a Cancerian
story!
The memories: It’s
personal, it’s ancestral, it’s planetary.
As we release the suppressed memories, open up to the
denial of emotions, we release the heaviness of our lives and tap into the
spontaneity and joy of life.
What’s been
happening:
The Grand Water Trine: stirring up muddy
waters!
The Grand Water Trine just keeps going as it keeps
getting stirred into activity as the planets move through Cancer and come into
contact with the Saturn, Neptune and Chiron trine.
It’s all emotion and big emotion at that. All the
long-held in emotions are being churned up, coming to the surface and being
cleared. It’s not all a pretty sight as people are spewing out energies which
need to be expelled.
Mercury in Cancer for a while yet,
retrograding until 21st July, we’re getting a real ‘workover’
and workout of our emotional being and our memories.
The impact of this retrograde energy seems more
challenging than usual for me and others who have mentioned this. I put it down
to all the watery Cancerian energies being triggered by Uranus, which rules
electricity and technology.
The past 7 to 10 days: buttons being pushed, triggering
of deep emotions surfacing from deep within...not just about you!
For many, there’s been an upsurge of emotional energy, deeply
buried karmic and ancestral memories surfacing from deep within the emotional,
mental, physical and astral bodies.
Emotional cleansing: How many times do you need to go
through the carwash????
As long as it
takes!!!!
Whatever it takes!
Last week: The Sun in Cancer kicked in with the
Uranus/Pluto square! Wake up!!! Shockwaves to the emotional
security!
If your
birthday was last week, you would have been strongly impacted by the stirring
emotional energy as the Sun linked in with Uranus and Pluto, forming a T-square
which is a major challenge.
Wake up, shock, fear and letting go: You
may have felt as if your home, family, sense of security was struck by
lightning!
We all experienced this energy which challenged and
shifted us, forcing us to become conscious of so much unconscious energy,
memories stirred up by the meeting of the Cancerian Sun with the Uranus/Pluto
Square.
It seemed that the shock/fear...whatever, ‘hit’ the
Achilles heel of our existence. If you had a ‘weak’ spot, this energy found
it!
Not just about you:
Cancer rules memory
and the ancestors so we’re clearing for the Earth!
These memories aren’t necessarily personal because
these slow moving planets are dealing with the planetary consciousness. They
are the energies which bring generational changes and shifts in belief systems
and gradually changing our consciousness.
Long term influences impacting us
now:
Pluto in
Capricorn until 2024:
a long term ‘makeover’/transformation of the
patriarchal/fathering energies, the status quo...for every one of
us!
This involves all of us. It’s not just about the
male energy in earthly form. We are all transforming our inner masculine
energies and changing our dependence on the patriarchal energies on this
planet.
Pluto rules the underworld and the
‘underbelly’ of our consciousness working on us like an oil derrick pumping up
the ‘oil’ to the surface. Pluto carries an alchemical energy, transforming
darkness into light. In fact, Pluto rules big money, business, moguls as well
as life/death/rebirth.
Uranus in Aries
until 2018:
a long term challenge for the masculine warrior energy, the leader
to develop new ways of leadership and resolving ‘war’!
This involves all of us, men women and children. We
are all being alerted to the way we deal with conflict, to challenge traditional
ways of expressing our masculine energy. Aries is an aggressive fiery energy
which works positively when channeled into taking physical action towards
expressing ourselves. However, on this planet, there’s been a tendency to
override others with aggression when we want our own way.
Uranus, the renegade, the rebel
challenges the status quo and calls us to uplift our consciousness to a more
evolved expression of our humanity. Uranus is the inventor, the creative mind,
the problem solver who thinks ‘outside the box’ and it often hits us like
electrical shock waves!
From ‘smoking’ to erupting: The Uranus/Pluto square..we’re
really only on ‘smoking’ at the moment.
Uranus is working with Pluto on changing our personal
and planetary consciousness. As these planets come to exact meetings, there’s
an explosion of energy. Then they move apart a degree or two so we’re back to
‘smoking’ without the eruption.
Last week of July: One more
‘hit’ to go in July...Mars will be kicking into the Uranus/Pluto
square! All meeting on last couple of days of July!
Guaranteed to clear out any residue of the old
emotional energies.
August: Jupiter In Cancer will be linking
into Uranus/Pluto Square...hopefully this will be an upliftment!
November 1st:
Eruption time!
The next exact meeting is at
the very beginning of November.
More on the Uranus/Pluto Square:
8th July: Saturn turns direct in Scorpio 3.11 pm AEST
at
4 degrees 49 Scorpio
Action stations for movement forward...slow and
steady!!!
Step by step, little by little:
Take your
time, one step at a time
Saturn is all about manifesting in the earthly
dimension and about building slowly and steadily towards a positive
ambition.
Take your authority, own your mastery:
I
am who I am and I’m okay. I am where I am and it’s okay.
Be secure in the knowledge of who you are, where you
are in the change process and what is the required next step.
Focus and commitment:
With Saturn in Scorpio, this calls for the knowing
that you are comfortable working with the transformational and change processes
demanded by Scorpio. Saturn is about mastery of the physical world through
accessing your particular strengths and abilities specific to you. Once we own
these personal energies, we become empowered and seemingly magical manifestation
occurs. However, it takes the focus and commitment of Saturn who’s ready to put
in the energies to achieve what is desired and aligned to our highest
good.
Build the dream on solid ground, brick by
brick:
Saturn is the builder of success and is careful,
cautious, methodical, meticulous and thorough!
With Saturn going direct on the day of the New Moon
in Cancer, it’s a perfect time to set down some solid intentions for the
Cancerian energies about home, family, belonging, nurturing and nourishing
ourselves and out place in the world.
Saturn is helping us get the new ‘dream’ moving.
Make the most of this energy at this time of the New Moon.
8th July: New Moon in Cancer 16 degrees 18 at 5.14 pm
AEST
Plant the seed of your new
life!
I post pictures of the Crescent Moon as the New Moon
is in darkness. We tend to picture the New Moon as a Crescent Moon because it
conveys the sense of a New Moon beginning.
However, the New Moon in darkness
carries the message that it’s time to plant a new seed, to grow a new tree in
our lives. The star sign indicates the area of growth to focus on.
Plant the seed: Nourish and nurture!
The New Moon is the time we plant a seed for the
growing of a new life for the next lunar month and in fact the next year for the
Cancerian energy which is all about home, nurturing, family and being in a place
where you belong. If you haven’t been nourishing and nurturing yourself, then
make the commitment with this moon that this month/for the next year, you’ll
take care of yourself in the best way possible.
Cancer, place of belonging:
Cancer rules the home, family, emotional security,
the mother energy, memories and ancestors.
Let’s get down to basics for the New Moon in
Cancer:
Here’s a series of questions for you to answer in
your heart because this New Moon is very much about making a firm commitment to
yourself, who you are, where you belong and what nourishes you to keep you
engaged with the world.
No personal success grows out of ‘burn
out’!!!
Lost your
way?: Finding your way ‘home’!
Where do you feel ‘at home’?
Where and how do you get a sense of ‘belonging’?
What ‘nourishes’ you, excites you, enthuses
you, feeds your interest in your life and the world?
This is not about physical food, but it can be. If
you’re not nourishing yourself doing what you LOVE, feeling energised by what
you’re doing, this is a perfect time to start fresh and make a promise to
yourself that you will take care of your heart energy and your internal pilot
light which spiritually keeps you going.
At this New
Moon:
Mercury speaks to us about our new direction at this time:
Mercury is in close proximity to the New Moon
Be open to the messages giving guidance about where to find your
‘home’, what nourishes you, where you can find/what gives you the emotional
energy to power yourself forward.
Remember the adage ‘do what you love and the money will follow’?
That’s what these messages are offering us...the answer to the questions: What
do I love? What makes me feel content and fulfilled? What renews
me?
Be open to how those messages come.
Synchronicity is at work at
this New Moon.
New Moon conjunct fixed star Sirius at 14 degrees
Cancer:
Fuelling spiritual upliftment and a higher perspective!
Sirius
*the Dog Star
the Sun of the Sun
the prime Sun of our Galaxy
the Sun of the Sun
the prime Sun of our Galaxy
In Astrology Sirius is a fortunate, positive energy
signifying ‘Ambition, pride, emotionality, fame, leadership, wealth, fires,
drought, danger through impetuosity’. http://www.astrologycom.com/fixedstars.html
Sirius was worshipped in many cultures; its heliacal
rising signalled the peak of summer, the annual flooding of the Nile and the
beginning of the ancient Egyptian calendar. By many, Sirius is regarded as a
portal of higher energy for us on earth. Associations with dolphins and
whales.
Healing power: New Moon trines Chiron in Pisces at 13
degrees...let the wounds and pains of the past be healed.
Emotional wounds are being healed with the power of
this New Moon energy!
Trines offer easy
release, so trust any pain that surfaces will flow away easily providing we are
prepared to let old painful memories heal.
Grand Water Trine: Jupiter in Cancer with Saturn in
Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces
Now it’s Jupiter’s turn to connect with the Saturn and Neptune
trine.
All positive flowing energies for huge karmic clearance as Jupiter
expands all energies of uplifting us from the hard work and struggle of our
earthly existence.
Excitement, sudden change, passion and love:
Uranus in
Aries trine Venus in Leo
...all fired up with new ideas, possibilities and
people!
Magical possibilities
with synchronicity:
Mars in Gemini is opposite the
Galactic Center, a powerful energy at 26 degrees
Sagittarius.
Sabian Symbol for the New Moon from Linda Hill:
http://sabiansymbols.typepad.com/my_weblog/2013/07/planting-the-seeds-of-knowledge-and-life-the-cancer-new-moon.html#more
The Sabian Symbol for the new Moon is
Cancer 17:
The Seed Grows Into Knowledge And Life.
‘The Seed Grows Into Knowledge and Life’. The process of the germination of the ‘Seed’ is slow and progressive, and must start from the very beginning. This ‘Seed’ may be an idea, a relationship, a process, a job or a course of study, etc. From the germination of the ‘Seed’ comes ‘Knowledge and Life’. Remember the maxim: Think a thought and sow a seed; sow a seed and do a deed. Do a deed, create a habit; create a lifestyle.

Astronomy for east coast of
Australia:
This month the first visibility of the crescent Moon after
the astronomical instant of new Moon is of particular significance in the
Islamic calendar. The Moon is new on Monday at 5:14 pm. After sunset on Tuesday
9 July 2013 the Moon will have moved sufficiently away from the glare of the Sun
to be briefly visible as a thin crescent in the western
sky.

13th July:
Mars moves into Cancer 11.22 pm AEST...you
think you’ve seen a big wave???
Mars is coming along behind Mercury who is still in
Cancer and Venus, who has moved out of Cancer into Leo. Mars represents our
physical body which is the most dense, the slowest moving energy in terms of
change process. The mind and heart make the changes and the physical body follows.
No need to scare the life out of
yourself:
However, Mars is also our fiery masculine energy and
he likes speed and
action! With Jupiter partnering up with him, there’ll be
‘big’ schemes and dreams of conquest and conquering the world. But Cancer will
help keep them in check. Providing we listen.
Super expansion of our fiery masculine
energies: tempered by watery Cancer!
Mars is travelling with Jupiter for the next couple
of weeks so expect big changes in the physical body, a flexing of the muscles of
our fiery masculine energies, if somewhat contained by watery Cancer. That
won’t necessarily be a bad thing.
Cautious Cancer will calm the Mars/Jupiter
partnership:
Impatience and impetuous behaviours will be tempered
by Mars and Jupiter travelling in watery Cancer which is cautious by nature.
Cancer takes of issues of security. So, no need to go out onto the massive
waves. Take time out on the beach and watch the waves rising and falling,
bringing huge healing to our masculine energies as they are released from the
need to act, act, act in order to appease any fears or doubts.
