New Moon in Cancer - July 2nd

If you ever needed support and nurturing from the Universe, now is the perfect time to receive it. The Sun, Moon and Venus are all lined up in Cancer; uniting our ego, emotional and relational nature in a space that asks that we balance loving ourselves with loving others. That is the essential message of this time. Love yourself. Receive your good. There is nothing you have to do, or be to deserve your good. The Divine Mother loves you and wants to bless you. Sit still and soak up her love.

This love fest is opposite (or 150 degrees apart from) Jupiter in Capricorn. Jupiter always asks us to think big, and come up with a larger, more grand, more spiritual, more faithful ,more light filled version of anything that it touches. In this case it’s touching Capricorn. Capricorn is the super rational, super practical, super controlled, ever ambitious, law abiding, do gooder of the zodiac. But all that works well with Capricorn comes at a price, for they are the most emotionally controlled folks ever. The call to be emotionally nourished is challenging all the societal constraints and external demands that we have to keep our emotions in check and not express them. The lesson: find balance. Squelching, ignoring, pushing your emotions down will not prosper you in any way (Capricorn). Instead hear them. You don’t have to allow them to run amuck, but allow them to be expressed. This will bring a spiritual light to whatever external situation you are in. And wherever Spirit’s light shines there is healing (Jupiter).

And in case you just skipped over the whole ” balancing nurturing yourself and with meeting other's needs” theme the Universe sought to remind you by bringing Uranus in Pisces into Trine with Venus in Cancer. Uranus is a unique, independent, transforming, fast moving force that brings us deeply into integrity at the speed of light. Pisces is about Oneness, spirituality and unity. Venus in Cancer is emotionally supporting, friendly and loving. This aspect reminds us that we are one in spirit, yet we are still individuals on this plane. Love and take care of yourself, but balance it with loving others. (Sense a theme?)

Because the Universe likes to bring us even more goodies to work with, Pluto in Sagittarius trines Saturn and Mars in Virgo. If this doesn’t scream heal thyself—nothing does. Pluto, the slow achingly deep transformer is still retrograde in Sagittarius, demanding that we change what we give our faith to and draw power from. (Yes, demand is there on purpose—Pluto is nothing to play with. You either get the lesson or get your ass kicked in the meanwhile.) Mars and Saturn in Virgo gives us the motivation (Mars) and structure (Saturn) necessary to heal what we have faith in. So whatever you happen to be giving your power (which is your faith) to this month you have the opportunity to transform and heal it. Just in case you need a little guidance, Mercury in Gemini is trine Neptune, the north node and Chiron in Aquarius. Wherever or however your spirit needs to be guided or expanded it can happen this month if you are open and set an intention for it.

To bring it all together, be kind to yourself. All the rushing around you do for others,  allow it to wait and do a little something sweet for yourself. Know that you are loved more than you can imagine, and that the Universe wants you to receive that love. You just need to be a little slower to receive it. And since you've slowed up a second, take a look at where your give your power and your life direction. With all this love, you may find yourself gently pushed into a new direction.

Whatever happens take some time to be good to you!
