Riding to the New Moon in Cancer, Monday, July 8, 2013

" Saturday night the Moon in Cancer, its home sign, conjuncts Jupiter and trines both Saturn and Mars. This is the ride up to the new moon and it lights up the grand trine in water as a delicious prelude. Moon to Neptune is dreamy and Moon to Saturn is solid. Isn’t it romantic, okay? It’s an opportunity to feel the possibilities, the soaring fantasy of your dreams and the solid support of reality. It’s also a time to experience joy and hope and the feeling that you can make these dreams real. Whether or not that’s true, who knows. But it can feel true, so why not enjoy it?... - Satori

The New Moon in Cancer begins the newest cycle of possibilities. In the sign of the crab, the nurturer, it means a lot for my family so I look close to home and notice. The effects of the New Moon in the houses of astrology offer this for my family:

• 7th house – Nurture your partner
  
• 10th house – Communication in the workplace

"Nurture your partner" ... there's my clue for Monday's New Moon in the 7th house. "Communication in the workplace" ... both my husband and son will have the New Moon in their 10th house.  I can see how valuable it is for me to nurture my husband who cares for a lot of people in our community. He's got many irons in the fire, so I get that home base is precious space. It's easy to love him, keep him fed, and fuel us both at the same time. Time has taught me what Satori is talking about "to feel the possibilities, the soaring fantasy of your dreams and the solid support of reality. It’s also a time to experience joy and hope and the feeling that you can make these dreams real."

The New Moon, Hilo, in Kaulana Mahina (The Hawaiian Moon Calendar) is a time when fishing is good. A dark night sky the fish will be feed, and a wise fisher person will know which fish feed and where. Hilo moon is not a particularly good planting moon, the water within plants will not rise with growing energy. So wait to plant. See how this might apply to fishing and planting in your life?

Where will the New Moon be in your chart?
