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...

The Pisces New Moon is on March 1st, at 3:00 am EDT, or 8:00 am GMT. Pisces' ruler Neptune is also making waves, and is close enough in orb to amplify the dreamlike energies of the New Moon. Keep it simple, with simple rituals. If you swim against the tide, you'll only exhaust yourself.  Being with the Muse, pottering, lollygagging and daydreaming is favored.

Rituals are a way to mark turning points in your life. They can be used to symbolically welcome changes in your life. They can be simple rituals or elaborate ones. The most important thing is your full presence in the moment. The new Moon is a magical time of beginnings, when you can recharge goals, or set new ones. Rituals bring meaning to our lives by "charging" an intention with power. We're always setting intentions, and this is a way to do it in a more conscious way. There is power in coming up with visions for your life, and keeping them in your sights as they come into being. But even as you fully commit to those visions, stay flexible, since new doors may open that you didn't expect. At the new Moon, goals and wishes take root, as you reach out for spiritual wisdom, draw on unseen allies and open the door to magical change. You might get what you ask for, or something even better that you can't imagine yet. It's important to come up with a ri...

Chiron, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto occupy the central roles in the Astrology of August. Escaping its retrograde shadow on August 4th, Mercury is currently in direct motion. This represents a major shift in the energy, especially since Mercury will enter Leo right after, by August 8th. Up to this point – and continuing throughout the current month – it has been a powerful time for the Water, or feeling, element, three planets residing under this sign: Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio, and Neptune in its own sign of Pisces. At the beginning of August, Jupiter leaves the trine with Saturn and Neptune, and comes into opposition with transformative Pluto. Then, by the time of the New Moon of August 6th, it enters into square with Uranus. This is configuration is a truly powerful one, marking a time of intuitional leaps and fresh beginnings in the realm of ideas and inventions. Another dose of the feeling element is brought in by the New Moon which strongly aspects Chiron, the Wo...

Tuesday's Leo New Moon is yet another potent lunation in the recent series. The reasons why this occasion in mid-Leo is strong are partly the aspects made to the outer planets from the Sun and Moon, and from Jupiter in Cancer. At the time of the late afternoon New Moon, while the Sun and Moon trine Uranus, Jupiter is exactly opposite to Pluto and the Moon is in parallel with Saturn and Neptune. Given that all the outer planets are activated, the emphasis from the previous month on Saturn and Neptune— which still are in their strong trine connection —  is continued into August, and a touch of a highlighting on the forming Uranus-Pluto square coming up in the fall is added. This leads to experiencing at least a nudge – if not more of a shove – on the part of the universe, meant to determine us to recognize where we have to take a different turn in our lives for constructive change, and get on with it already! On November 1st of this year Uranus and Pluto come once again into their...

July’s astrology revolves around Mercury, Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune, and Saturn. Throughout the month, Mercury is retrograde in Cancer, if you also take into consideration the period of its retrograde shadow. Mercury’s backward motion changes to direct motion on July 20th and it escapes its retrograde shadow in early August. Some of the probable occurrences during this period are the usual symptoms of missed connections and mechanical breakdowns, along with the inner reflection – also a characteristic of this period – given that our mental process runs backward. Introspection becomes all the more important after realizing that paramount decisions and choices need to be made if life is to continue in a relevant, valuable way. This summer is the appropriate time to analyze core beliefs regarding where your life is taking you – you may be amazed by what you can indeed accomplish once you reorient yourself to soul purpose. Probably the most important characteristic of these current con...

The New Moon will take place midnight Sunday on the west coast and early Monday morning on the east coast and Europe. This phenomenon happens in the middle of both sensitive Cancer and of the Mercury Retrograde period, coming along at one extreme peak of the entire Mercury Retrograde – during this lunation, the Sun and Moon are in conjunction with Mercury, moving backwards through Cancer, accompanied by the grand trine of Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune in Water signs, while Saturn stations to direct motion. The Mercury Retrograde is intensified by the station direct of Saturn – an extremely significant event – especially since it takes place a mere two hours before the New Moon. This station is the reason why the trine between Saturn and Neptune lasts so long, only one half of a degree of exact trine since the beginning of June being between the two planets, closeness which lasts all the way through to the end of July. Saturn and Neptune are responsible for two rather contradictory ...
