New Moon in Cancer on 6/23/2017 at 7:30 PM
Cancer is the 1st emotional sign we find on the zodiac wheel.  We move from Fire/Aries, Earth/Taurus, Air/Gemini, to arrive at the 4th sign- Water/ Cancer.  It is water in liquid form, flowing and ebbing with the tides.  The animal is the Crab, who has the sweetest, tender  inside, and a hard calcified shell on the outside.  This shell is in constant rhythm with nature, and can completely fall away when it has been outgrown.  “E Motion” implies movement and flow with “motion” and that does describe some of the quality of our emotions, they vacillate, arise and fall, shift and turn.  From this pure, raw emotion, we find the Mother Archetype.  In our greatest vulnerabilities in youth, when we cannot survive on our own, it is Mother who protects and nurtures us.  The heart connects in Cancer, it FEELS.

With a New Moon in Cancer, it is a blank slate from which to set your intentions to manifest at FULL Moon.  In the theme of Cancer, we can look at how we mother and nurture ourselves.  How we might put up a protective shell when we feel vulnerable or ‘scuttle’ away like a crab.  We may want to consider how we can allow ourselves to embrace our feelings, to trust in the flow, and use the power of Cancer to stay emotionally present.  Find the house this falls in your birth chart to find where you are being asked to open, to let in, and feel into as purely and with raw intuition to what is being seeded.  Free charts can be found at astro.com.

Cancer rules the Moon so this is a great time to honor the Moon that guides us every day.

With love,

Pisces Moon - Last Quarter

Last Quarter Moon in Pisces 6/17/17

As the Moon forms a 90 degree angle or “SQUARE” to the Sun, we find the illumination of the Moon is partly lit now.   Each night it is lit up less and less as the Moon heads towards New Moon.   During Last Quarter, we see ½ of what we did at FULL, reminding us that the harvest has bloomed; parts are dying away and returning to the dark.  At this time in the journey of the Moon, we are in between FULL and NEW.  We can see what flourished at FULL in what we harvested, but it starts to lose that sweetness, that punch, found at FULL.  The harvest is still alive, but parts are starting to decay.   We have a sense that we are preparing for a new beginning as things die off, so we turn in and review the journey in preparation of releasing and seeding new life.
​
This Moon meets up with Chiron in Pisces.  Chiron is the Centaur often nicknamed the “Wounded Healer”.  He had a wound that would not heal.  Through working with this type of pain and irritation, and arriving at acceptance, Chiron learned that through healing himself, he could help others.   With the energy of Pisces, that seeks to dissolve all boundaries, live in the present moment, and connect with everything, we may be feeling our wounding and also the wounds of everyone and everything.   Coming from this place of 'interconnectedness' and the acceptance of wounds, we develop compassion for ourselves and others.  With heartfelt compassion, we can heal ourselves and create space for others to heal.  Releasing the expectation that we should be ‘perfect’ embraces the reality of human existence, and growth.
​
Naturally, when the Moon and Sun are in ‘hard’ aspect to each other, there is a friction between the head or ego (Sun) and the Moon (Heart).  We are advised to listen to both, knowing that the deeper we can open to our emotional feelings, we can become more integrated in how we identify (Sun).  From this point of emotional awareness and contemplation, we can let go of what does not serve us, have gratitude for the journey and prepare for the New Moon in Cancer on June 23rd.

Sagittarius Full Moon 6:10 AM PST June 9, 2017

Sagittarius is likened to the Gypsy, the Philosopher and the Teacher.  As mutable fire, you can imagine a burning flame that is adaptable.  It roams, and cannot be contained.  Fire is warming and purifying, and as such ‘Sag’ unleashes life force and a quest for the truth unlike any other sign. It is willing to let go, burn off what does not serve, and move forward, ready to embrace or ignite what may cross its path. 

A path is a necessity for Sagittarius, as the journey quenches the soul and liberates the knowing that the great discovery lies just beyond the horizon.  Faith is the gas tank and optimism it’s chosen attitude. 

​As the Explorer travelling to new lands, or as the Gypsy, the understanding of culture and connection expands.  EXPANSION, this is the quality of its ruling Planet Jupiter.  With the flavor of Sagittarius, the world becomes larger.  The vision becomes enriched by the greater knowledge and evolving perception of the world. ​
Picture
​Looking at the chart we see Jupiter, the ruler of Sag, sitting alone, almost like a formation such as the bottom of an umbrella handle and all the rest of the Planets are the umbrella.  This puts extra weight on Planet Jupiter.  Good thing Jupiter reigns so large and with such gravitas that it can handle this pressure.  What we need to recognize for ourselves is that the vision, the beliefs we hold may give us a feeling of separation at times from the greater whole.  In Libra, we have a hard time separating from OTHER, yet we know we must find a balance where we give when needed and stand firm when that makes most sense.  Justice and equality must be our aim.  And when the going gets tough, these are the fires that bind us, what we hold as truth regardless of logical circumstance, to carry us onward. ​

‘Life is a journey, not a destination’
Ralph Waldo Emerson

​
Each of us has a Sagittarius part of our chart. We are the 12 signs, but in different levels of emphasis.  As the Full Moon strikes your Sagittarius (18 degrees) vector of life, it may revitalize your faith and optimism to move past the current negativity and BELIEVE.  Unlike the opposite sign Gemini who relies on factual reality and quick information exchange, Sagittarius can appear to be based on the less known, the elusive, the theoretical, and the grand vision.  Sagittarius takes the experiences it has and forms an understanding for future outcomes.  The idea is to collect through diverse experiences, and then form a rich and complex web that makes for an integrated perspective.
​
Sagittarius expressed in the less than ideal expression may come off as a know-it-all.  So reliant on what validates their prior knowledge and experience, they end the quest and become rigid.  This stop point becomes their security and they defend it with all costs, for the shattering of that belief system feels so threatening to who they have become.  If the Sage follows their heart, they may choose to ride the stallion again, remaining open and adaptable to life’s unfolding journey. 
​
With the symbol of the arrow pointed outward like a bow and arrow, we are invited to review where we have our arrows pointed.  This Full Moon is approaching Saturn, the Lord of Karma and Discipline.  This is the time to GET REAL. What are our aims, our visions, and what we can truly stand behind?  What compels us beyond the rational and logical but ignites a belief, a faith in the potential of what will come? 

IF we are not where we want to be, what do we see as our ideal reality and truth?  How can we foster beliefs and faith in something greater to leverage us along our chosen path? 
​
As the Full Moon brings strong emotions to the surface, may your passionate beliefs propel you up.  Like the chart’s umbrella shape, may the wind of insight you find now fill your balloon and carry you onward, like Mary Poppins. 
  
May you be enchanted and inspired by the stars!
