NEW MOON IN CANCER
July 6, 5:02 am PDT (15 degrees)

It is always helpful to know where this New Moon falls in your chart. Where do you have planets in Cardinal signs around 15 degrees? What houses are they in? This can give you information as to where these energies will play out in your life.

This New Moon forms at 15°, the middle of Cancer, the center for new birth and the yin, receptive, feminine energy.The Moon in Cancer is usually a return to source, the home, family, instincts, ideals and habits that form the core of identity. But Jupiter in Libra and Mars in Aries square this New Moon, pushing us into connections with ideas and individuals that branch off from our familiar roots.These aspects to the New Moon with Mars and Jupiter are also coaxing us to act courageously and responsibly toward our convictions and new goals while remaining compassionate and open-minded. What we see in our world and home depends on where we stand. It is time to look at the infinite possibilities. Expansive Jupiter reminds us that the sky is the limit and that we create our own ceilings and our own ruts. Take your intention, your idea and desire seeds, and plant them in new terrain where with loving and diligent care they will grow. With hard work and focus the rewards can exceed your highest expectations.

Neptune at 17° Aquarius is in aspect to the Sun and Moon, urging us to extend our sense of family, enlarging our circle of friends, and to collaborate rather than compete with colleagues and friends. Someone once said we didn't come over on the same ship, but we're all in the same boat. Neptune reminds us that we are all subject to tides of emotions; tsunamis of change show us that we are many and we are One. Uranus at 11° Pisces trines the New Moon and offers much the same message: We are not alone. Things are not what they appear to be. There are no strangers, only friends we haven't yet met.

Saturn finally leaves Cancer and begins his once-every-29-years journey through Leo on July 16. Edgar Cayce called Saturn the planet of change. Saturn transits do appear to back us into the corners of our psyches, and bring us to our knees - not to punish us or give us a hard time, but to show us where we have imprisoned ourselves. So, what does Saturn in Leo want for us? To take our power seriously. To remember that each of us is a Creator and that we are fully responsible for our own reality. To see where we have abdicated our authority, where we allow others to define our self-worth. To manifest our unique gifts. To create from Love rather than fear. (Saturn was last in Leo from September 17, 1975 to January 15, 1976 and from June 5, 1976 to November 17, 1977. This current passage through Leo is from July 16, 2005 to September 2, 2007.)

Use the magic of this New Moon to enjoy where you are now and to evaluate where you'd like to go next. Abraham Lincoln's words are still fitting for this century: "I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have."

PLAN YOUR OWN NEW MOON CEREMONY. Give yourself some quiet time in meditation to see where you need to seed new ways of becoming. List these areas within your life you want to change. What areas of your life do you want to break free from the norm and become the inovator? The NEW MOON is the time to manifest the attributes and things you want to bring to you. Possible phrasing: I now manifest ____ into my life. I am now _______ . Remember, think, envision and feel with as much emotion as possible, as though you already have what you want. Thoughts are things and the brain manifests exactly what you show it in the form of thoughts, visuals and emotions about yourself. The Buddha said, and I am paraphrasing, "We are the sum total of our thoughts up to today. " If we want to be different then we must change our thoughts. "If you always do what you've always done then you'll always get what you've always got." CONSCIOUS CHANGE is the key.
