The New Moon in Cancer will occur on the 27 th 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 shaman...

On the 19 th  of June, Jupiter will enter Cancer, its exalted sign, where it will remain for the next year. In terms of physical traits, Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system (it is ten times bigger than Earth). Therefore, calling Jupiter ‘the mighty planet’ is explained by this physical trait as well, and not only because of its influence on our lives. From an astrological point of view, Jupiter is considered in Vedic astrology the Guru of Devtaas or the Holy Gods. Jupiter has a positive influence on all signs and Houses, as it increases positive energies and neutralizes the negative impact that other planets may have on us. As it transits through the zodiac, Jupiter stays for a relatively long period of time in each sign before continuing its movement. Its position at any given moment (i.e. sign and/or House) determines the effects it has on people during the respective period of transit.   Referring back to Vedic astrology, in Indian mythology Jup...

Note for 2014:   The eclipses of April 2014 fall at 25 Libra (April 15th) and 9 Taurus (April 28th).  The eclipses of October 2014 fall at 15 Aries (Oct 8th) and 0 Scorpio (Oct 23rd). Look on your birth chart for any direct hits to planets or significant points.  Eclipses and Trailings By looking at where the  Eclipse falls in the Houses, you get a sneak preview of what's to come (or in progress).  And it's also instructive to look at planetary contacts to the eclipse. If there's a conjunction to a natal planet (within 5 degrees), this is the  eclipse ruler. Some astrologers say the last planet aspected by the eclipse, is your main symbolic messenger. An eclipse though, isn't always dramatic or shocking. It's often a subtle, inward, and sometimes profound unfoldment, that happens over a period of time (six months is the rule). Eclipses that aspect the Sun Sun engagement with eclipses are significant miles...

The Moon is a timekeeper, and the luminary that takes over when the Sun sets. In ancient Egypt, this Sun-Moon switchover was embodied by the Sun god Ra and the Moon god Thoth. When the Sun god Ra journeyed into the underworld at night, Thoth took over until Sunrise. In even earlier, pre-historic times, the count of lunar months, and a lunar calendar, was in use across many cultures. The oldest artifacts show lunar markings on animal bone and carved into cave walls. The Native American elder might say he’s been around for Many Moons. In Japan, there’s a Moon-god called Tsuki-Yomi, which comes from Japanese words that mean moon and counter.(1) The Sun is the realm of day and the waking hours Self, and the Moon inhabits the landscapes of the soul, emotions, and dream life. Every culture with an eye to the sky has honored the Moon, and been mesmerized by its changing face, and influence on waters and women's cycles. The Moon is not always feminine in myth, but because ...

Taking place in the last decant of the Libra, Monday evening’s First Quarter Moon is established as a time when the initiating lunar cycle’s tension peaks, leading to a “crisis in action” regarding our attempts to advance in a certain area of our lives. With the Cancer emphasis, and under the reflectively inward orientation of the Cancer Mercury Retrograde period, at this time inner goals resonate with us most strongly as opposed to outer ones. Can you free yourself of outward diversions, thus turning to the inside with love, awareness, and sympathy? It is well said that having a compassionate connection with ourselves – at the deepest possible level – is a prerequisite to being able to reach out to others with compassion. Just like a deep-sea diver, in order to establish a strong connection with ourselves, we need weights to find the depths we seek and to actually go down. The effort put into harvesting the fruit of inner work is well worth it. However, the Moon in Libra wants ba...
