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...

The Meaning of Nakshatras in Vedic Astrology

Unique to Vedic astrology, the Nakshatras, or lunar constellations, are directly connected to the Moon and her myriad of expressions. The Moon changes signs (houses) roughly every 2.3 days, taking 28 days to move through the twelve signs of the zodiac. This gives two weeks for a waxing (bright half) Moon and two weeks for a waning (dark half) Moon.  The Moon is connected to our intuition, intelligence and the nature of the mind and emotions. These “Moon parts” within us are ever-changing, fickle, and correlate to the endless movement and change of the Moon. Whereas the movement of the Sun is linked to the 12 signs of the zodiac, the movement of the Moon is connected to the 27 nakshatras. The Moon is the lord of all the nakshatras, where the Sun is the lord of all the rasis (signs).  In the Vedic system of astrology, there are 27 nakshatras (though some texts refer to 28 for specific spiritual purposes) which easily divides the 360 degrees of entire zodiac into roughly 13.2...

Mercury Retrograde in 2014

Mercury goes retrograde February 6 2014 and the traditional advice is  “Don’t travel, Don’t sign contracts. Don’t marry. Don’t touch electrics!”  But the whole Mercury retrograde cycle actually lasts eight weeks and happens three times, sometimes even four times in a year! That’s a long time to hide under the duvet and a real waste of a truly magical time. Mercury generally zips between two worlds, or rather, the two hemispheres of our brain. So during the retrograde period it is like Mercury has gone down into the Underworld. In the realm closer to spirit we become more right-brain orientated. It is dark, so other senses are heightened. We will feel extra sensitive here, psychic even. Everything will seem hyper-real… you will notice things you had overlooked before. This will prompt you to re-evaluate, renovate, re-invent, re-form, and reinvent. It’s true you might have to redo things, because Mercury will hit the same degree three times, but what this transit won’t l...
