NEW MOON JUNE 29, 2022

Today, June 29, 2022, we will experience a Cancer New Moon at 7°. Those with planets especially by conjunction, opposition or square connected to this degree will experience the energies of this New Moon. The area of life stimulated is identified by the house position of this New Moon in the natal chart and the houses or angles that are accentuated by this placement. The house will define the area of life, while the planets will define how this energy is expressed.

 

This Cancer New Moon is a strong placement with nurturing influences especially for family or close personal friends. Your children are likely the recipients of this nurturing and for those who enjoy preparing meals this can be highlighted. Warmth and healing will be highlighted within the home environment.

 

This is a gentle and caring placement and healing on some level is possible as you can be quite gentle and nurturing. Compromise may be part of the picture. This 7° placement of the Cancer New Moon makes a semi-sextile with Venus at 7° degrees Gemini. Semi-sextiles often suggest that we are in the right place at the right time. With Venus involved you may want to care for or show affection for those involved in the process. Some may go as far as to organize a social event where they not only utilize their potential for cooking and baking but also great conversation with Venus in Gemini.

 

T Jupiter makes a square to this placement with Jupiter at 7° Aries. Although squares are often noted to have some challenges affiliated with them, Jupiter’s expansive and positive energies will likely not create any disputes at this time. The only issues that may arise from Jupiter’s position is the desire to go overboard and perhaps spend too much money or perhaps have “over” expectations of what is in place.

 

With Venus involved and if other natal influences agree, this can be a time of love and affection with those close to you or the meeting or engagement of someone who you fall in love with. The desire to help and the wish to find contentment is strong with this placement so it would be wise to use these energies to assist anything that might enhance the situation, as these energies do not come often.

TRANSFORMING

Changes are coming. You feel it. It is not by chance either.

Change would not present itself unless you were ready to take that step. You are moving from obscurity to a workable and sustainable bright path. This is not only your realization, but others are also seeing this change in you.

 

Sometimes you are so closed to the change that you do not recognize it at first, but when the metamorphosis is complete, you may no longer recognize the new you that has emerged. You have now moved far enough into this change that you recognize its expansion into your consciousness. As a result you find changes to your surroundings as well. Change usually begins within then radiates out.

 

Others may have noticed a distinct change, as even your appearance in some cases seems to change.

 

Change stems from the inside and then aligns with the outer world. There is no rushing it as your higher evolution has its own time schedule. This only happens when the time is right. You can prepare all you want, but you will never be totally ready for what transpires. It is never what you think, as the physical mind tends to interfere with the process.

 

Step into yourself and recognize that your only role is just being you. It is quite simple. Let go and it all begins.

 

Enjoy the ride. It is an amazing one.

SUN IN CANCER 2022 TRANSITS

From July 6 through to July 20, 2022 T Mercury will be moving through the sign of Cancer and then from July 19 to August 11 Venus will also transit through Cancer. Cancerians will be experiencing these energies through out this period intensifying as these planets’ conjunct their natal Sun.

 

All conjunctions merge with the energies of the planets involved so with Mercury and the Sun goals, aspirations and life’s path will likely undergo some alignment during this time. Cancerians may feel they have a good idea of what and when to push ahead with plans and their life’s path seems to be moving in that direction.

 

What they undertake now may prove to be a positive step which in some cases may prove to be financially feasible or may add to their resources. Pushing ahead might work in their favour especially if other planets in the natal chart and transits suggest the same. Confirm which house is involved with the conjunction as this will define the area of life affected.

 

Venus can speak of finances which is why we suggested that resources were part of the energies. Venus and the Sun merging often have very favourable outcomes. This conjunction (or trine or sextile) is energies we wait for.

 

Venus may also speak of love, affection and socializing. Perhaps this tie in with these energies. Mercury stimulates the mind and often is associated with activity related to communication while Venus can represent love and perhaps the potential for a love affair to grow or an existing one to become enhanced.

 

T Pluto is in opposition to those with the Sun in Cancer in the later degrees. Oppositions can be difficult and often speak of other people being involved causing some disruption to the flow of things.

 

If you are being guided by your intuition during this time Neptune’s may be the influence. Neptune in Pisces adds the trine for those born with their Sun in the later degrees of Cancer. This trine is considered a spiritual one or a position that could open the door to intuitive and psychic abilities. The feeling network will be wide open during this time, and you may understand or sense what energies are around you now.

THIS LIFE’S FINAL DOOR

The ego expresses itself on many levels and there are several ways of looking at this companion or “master” force. Identifying with the ego is of paramount concern as it can take you places that both create concrete results or entangled concepts that are anything but effective in their nature or for your growth. As you walk with your ego, watch for identifying with the voice that says you are better than others, deserve more than others.

 

When we come to terms of being equal as spirit (as our whole essence), and that each and every one of us are in the pursuit of true happiness and enlightenment, regardless of what enlightenment may mean, we begin to get a grasp of how the ego transcends on our attitude of self. At some point, we all walk together towards the road of death of this material lifetime and everything we have gained spiritually will be on our minds when we near the end.

 

If you have spent your life high on who you are and what you have accomplished in your life, whether that be abundance in the material world, or advancement in the concept of doing what others could not do because of your intellectual abilities, where does this leave you when on deaths door?

 

How did it move you forward as you prepare for the final stage of this life’s mission?

 

In the end it does not matter what you have attained during this life unless it is something that will not be left behind upon death. If you have chosen a life of service, one where in your own way you have assisted others and helped them find a place of happiness, you can move into your final moments with a sense of contentment that will not be found elsewhere.

 

You may leave behind a legacy of financial security; however, money is fleeting and often leads to wanting more. Leaving behind a memory, or better still, an example of how fulfilling life can be lived is far more reaching and may sway others into a direction more appropriate to their evolution while on earth.

 

As you mature and evolve into spirit, you may find that giving without measure actually gives internal rewards that far outweigh any material success you may gain. Providing a shoulder to lean on, a smile of reassurance or a congratulating handshake can be far more effective in motivating others and helping them believe in themselves.

 

When it is all said and done, how will you be remembered and what will your achievements provide for those left behind?

 

Ensure that the example you provide is one of love and growth.

 

When you shed your earthly skin, what legacy will you leave behind?

FATE AND OUR OWN FREE WILL

Some questioned free will vs fate and what influence and choices we have in life.

 

What is your definition of “Free will”?

 

Many believe that free will plays little to no part in what road life takes us down. Has destiny simply laid out the path and events and we are now pawns in the game of life?

 

Ponder this thought: “we were intelligible energy prior to this incarnation”. Imagine that we understood the many different paths we could take on this earthly plain to activate lessons for our spiritual growth. Imagine choosing your current life’s path. Imagine reviewing potential experiences to fulfill our spiritual needs through our physical existence so that we would learn and grow through significant physical and mental experiences.

 

If this were the case, we have taken personal control of our destiny. If we planned the lessons in life then nothing is by chance. If this is the case, life is pre-destined and fated, but we chose these fates. There would never be mistakes. We are human, without doubt, and may sway us off the intended course at times but these alternative paths may only serve to slow us down on our journey, but ultimately, we still end up at the chosen end.

 

Past, present and future are earthly terms and in reality, they all exist simultaneously; therefore, an alternate route that brings us to the same place, matters little.

 

If we understand our part in the process, we also take responsibility for our lives. This removes all blame. Taking responsibility is imperative. We predestined our fate. This puts life in a completely different perspective.

 

We cannot sit back and not to participate in our lives. We must still do our part. Free will is determined by the course of action or attitude we take in the moment. Free will rests in our reaction to life’s events and our attitude toward these events and to those around us.

 

Life offers challenging conditions and even tragic events, but our response and our mental attitude is always a choice. Accept responsibility, even when life seems unfair. Know that life is moving exactly as it should…. always on path……always on course.

SUN IN CANCER JUNE 21, 2022

Today June 21, 2022, the Sun moved from the mutable, air sign of Gemini into the cardinal water sign of Cancer. If you were to read our last post of Gemini, you will note that there is quite a difference between Gemini and Cancer. Gemini is a changeable, studious, and communicative sign while Cancer is a highly sensitive, not overly changeable (although from an emotional level they can certainly shift quite easily). Gemini seeks to gather information from an intellectual perspective while Cancer seeks to gain information through an emotional perspective and from intuition.

 

Cancerians are deep and reflective. As mentioned they are very intuitive, feeling their way through life. They are gentle beings with a need for a quiet place where they can recharge their emotional batteries. They usually do not do well with adversity, and many enjoy cooking or are home bodies. They can be overly protective especially of their children, family in general and the close family of friends.

 

Due to their extreme sensitivity, they often hide their feelings which a Cancerian may feel is their weakness (hidden in their protective shell). Only those that show sensitivity and can be trusted will be allowed to penetrate the Cancer shell of protection. This is not to say that Cancerians are weak; far from it. They are defenders of the underdog and will fight relentlessly if need be, but also prefer not to get involved in aggressive situations.

 

If there are other indicators in the natal chart, like the Grand Water Trine or many planets in the water houses (4,8 and 12) these individuals can be sensitive enough to pick up vibrations from others and many are considered quite psychic or at the very least intuitive. Their perception is keen. They love to mother others and would do well in any field of caring for others, such as nurses, caregivers, or counselors. Cancerians make good counselors providing they do not allow themselves to take on the energies of those that they are working with.

 

As a side note, as with any sign, cancer traits can be softened by other strong influences in the chart. Eg someone with Sun in Cancer, Moon, Mars & Saturn in Capricorn, Mercury, Venus and Rising sign in Leo would express themselves with a lot of fortitude and would want others to know of their existence. It is always important to look at the full chart. Our Sun in Cancer is a general definition of Cancerian traits.

 

Happy solar return to our Cancer readers.

MERCURY RULER OF GEMINI (& VIRGO)

Before we move out of the sign of Gemini, we thought it appropriate to look at the ruling Planet of Gemini (Virgo as well), Mercury.

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and is never more than 28° away from the Sun. Due to their proximity, some people are born with these two bodies in conjunction. A conjunction is defined as two planets being within 8 to 10 ° from one another. There is also an aspect called the Cazimi (17 minutes separation or less between the planets) which is a powerful expression of the conjunction with Mercury and the Sun. When this occurs between Mercury and the Sun, the energies of both planets are greatly intensified.

Mercury is the planet of the mind and rules our intellectual abilities and enhances the thought process. Mercury although considered dormant unless activated will enhance and add its energies to whatever it touches in the horoscope. It affects the thinking process greatly. Mercury’s sign and the aspects to it from other planets and positions in the natal chart defines how the mind operates.

Mercury in the birth chart determines how we make sense of our lives and the world around us. It controls the way we communicate on a day-to-day basis. It is our mental statement to the world and our sense of humor. It also rules quickness of thought. There is a huge difference between someone with Mercury in Aries, which could be defined as quick responsive thinking, to someone with Mercury in Capricorn, which could be described as slow methodical thinking.

Some are born with Mercury in retrograde motion (Mercury appearing to be moving backwards in the sky) and when Mercury goes retrograde through transit and touches off the natal retrograde Mercury, or other planets in the birth chart, the mind may slow down and may even struggle depending on the relationship to other planetary forces within the horoscope. Retrograde is usually a time when these individuals should be careful and perhaps even put off signing important documents and making vital life decisions.

Mercury retrograde at birth is often characterized as an introverted mind where things are thought over carefully before making decisions.

Communication is the key phrase related to the planet Mercury.

The intellect is stimulated by the planet Mercury and those with Mercury prominent in their birth chart will have defined intellectual pursuits. Much will depend on which sign Mercury is in and how it is being aspected in the birth chart. Please note that a challenged Mercury in the birth chart can be rectified and bring assistance as we learn from life’s experiences on how to deal with our own personal thinking process.

All aspects in the natal chart can, through experience and effort, be used in a beneficial manner, even the most challenging of natal aspects.
