New Moon in Cancer on June 27th


The New Moon in Cancer will occur on the 27th of June. This lunation is all about the waxing and waning of the Moon, which on a symbolical level stands for our lives’ waxing and waning. Therefore, this New Moon can be seen as an organic astrological event. Both the Sun and the Moon are in the same sign, so the New Moon also represents an important energetic threshold for us all.

When a New Moon occurs, it is recommended to perform a ritual. IT doesn’t have to be something extremely complex or grand; the key-element to any ritual is the soul presence you bring into it. One ritual suggestion is to light a candle in the colors of the Cancer sign – white and yellow. You could also light the candle several days before the New Moon actually occurs, because this is how any person should prepare a New Moon ritual -- with the targeted astrological sign in mind (by “the targeted astrological sign” we refer to the Sun sign in which the New Moon occurs).

It is a shamanic practice to be your own companion through time. This practice can be correlated with the Cancer sign which is ruled by Water. Water in its turn symbolizes our origins and emotional roots. Therefore, the New Moon is a great time for you to celebrate your inner child. Find a quiet place, sit still, relax, and look at a picture of you as a child. Focus on your younger self and recall the moment when the picture was taken. As you do this, try to immerse yourself in that memory, try to feel again like your younger self – like a child. After bringing your inner child to the surface, let him/her know that you love him/her and that you wish to protect him/her. This ritual is all about commitment to self-care.

This New Moon, make your home a welcoming comfortable place for you, not only physically, but also emotionally and psychologically. You could declutter your house, burn some sage, remove cobwebs, and so on. Anything that dampens your spirits has to go. Basically, this lunation is an appropriate occasion for a home revival, so that your house becomes more than just the place where you live; it should be a place that nourishes body, mind, and spirit.


Other things that you could do for this New Moon are: to take a ritual bath, to take a walk near the sea or the ocean (if possible), to drink spring water (if there is a spring near to where you live), and to meditate with a water bowl in your hands. As long as you focus on your soul with motherly care, this New Moon will act like a soothing balm for your inner self.

I like the idea of a ritual. Although some perceive it as a negative thing, nowadays the idea of 'ritual' is no longer something bloody and violent. A ritual as a form of self-care is great.

I always like to try for tossing out unwanted/unneeded stuff about the time of a new moon. guess it's a ritual, as in preparing for bedtime, which I do like. Soothes the mind.

Ceres and Our Inner Emotional Life

Ceres connections in synastry can reveal how one person accepts (or doesn’t) their partner’s nurturing. “Nurturing” is defined as caring for someone, and fostering their growth. Ceres (or Demeter) is named after the Goddess of the crops. She had a daughter (Persephone) and they were close. So close, in fact, that Ceres never wanted to let her go. Then Pluto (or Hades) kidnapped Persephone and dragged her off to the Underworld. Ceres’ grief was intense. In retaliation, she denied mankind their food by making the crops wither and die; she was hurting, so everyone else would as well. A deal was eventually struck with Pluto, and Persephone was allowed to spend part of the year above ground, with her mother. This was when Ceres allowed the crops to grow. When Persephone spent the rest of the year below ground, the crops were dormant. So Ceres’ cycle of growth and loss reflects the cycle of life. In your chart, her sickle-shaped glyph describes how you handle that cycle.Aspects to Cer

When You Should Get Your Birth Chart Done

Have you ever gotten your 'chart done'? In the field of astrology, a 'chart' is a representation that demonstrates the position of the planets, Sun and moon at a particular moment in time. The position of each planet, its movement and relationship with other celestial bodies can give an astrologer insight as to the influences in play at that particular time.

There is more to interpreting a chart than just reading a l

Essential Oils That are Harmful to Dogs.

On a Saturday night, a dog owner arrived home late and noticed that their dog was acting strange and did not recognize them. The owner initially thought that the dog was experiencing a night terror, but the odd behavior continued into Sunday. Upon realizing that a new diffuser had been running in the home, the owner turned it off, and the dog's condition improved on Sunday afternoon. However, the next day, the dog sitter reported that the animal was hiding under the bed and acting abnormally. The owner left work early to check on the dog and discovered that it was still disoriented and confused. The owner decided to take the dog to the emergency vet, where it was discovered that the tea tree oil used in the diffuser was toxic for dogs. Fortunately, the dog's liver was not damaged, but the animal required fluids to remove the toxins from its system. The vet and poison control specialists advised that they have seen an increase in similar cases as the use of essential oils grows
