New Moon in Cancer 2014
New Moon in Cancer 2014 “Take it Easy” Eagles
The New Moon in Cancer is a special yearly New Moon as the Moon is the ruler of Cancer. At this time of year we tune into our deepest emotional reservoir as we set the tone for the summer season. The Moon (Cancer) is the ruler of home (4th house), feelings, family, roots, nourishment and emotional security. Cancer is maternal tending to needs as opposed to wants which would more align with Venus, Mars, the Sun and the ego.
Intuition and our feelers are heightened and sensitized during the Cancer cycle. Our most tender and private places feel a need for necessary attention and a new beginning with whatever those subjective moods may entail where we cast out and plant our seeds for fulfillment for the next month and Moon cycle. It is where we go to find a safe harbor and a place of soothing and sanctuary from the big bad world, where we can hang our hat and let our hair down, find a cave and hideaway to retreat and remember times gone by and memories of old.
It’s no wonder the crab is the symbol of Cancer, with the shell to protect and find a refuge to keep out the chaos with a desire for some withdrawal and introspection. Cancers are sensitive souls that intuitively feel every nuance and can become immersed and touched with tenderness or crabby emotional touchiness in a blink of an eye.
Cancer and the Moon rules over food, cooking and gardening. The Moon is where we find comfort in home and anything domestic . With Jupiter in Cancer coming to the end of its cycle, home has a special focus. You know you are immersed in Cancer when if given a choice you are happiest to stay close to home with some stick to the ribs food or your favorite comforts and relax than be anywhere or do anything else.
The New Moon in Cancer makes a sextile/trine easy aspect to Neptune Pisces adding some smooth sailing and relaxed ease. Sentimental draws to the past to sweet solace whether hearing an old song you haven’t heard in awhile remembering a time gone by or memories buried that get triggered. Intuition runs high during this time as listening with the sixth sense and tuning into a higher frequency has ready access to the beyond. With tears and tissues for issues, misty fogs and soft water droplets, Neptune rules the feet, the sea, rain, fish, swimming, sleep, fashion so take time for some ritual to conjure up some Neptune magic that includes a treat for your feet, soak, swim, dream, music, fantasy or escape.
The New Moon in Cancer has a take it easy, let it ride, follow your bliss, don’t worry go with the flow vibe that can kill with kindness and catch more flies with honey then vinegar. The flow can show up as leaks, water issues, flooding with a let it slide water log. Neptune in soft aspect is where the most damage can be seen whether in overflow, wallowing in emotion, addiction, codependency or deception. While Neptune compassion, forgiveness and love are redeeming qualities, Neptune can let go and let slip through the cracks with messy disorder, distraction and drunk intoxicated meandering without direction or purpose.
Venus in Gemini also lightens things up with a flirty, flighty and fickle nature moving and changing tunes with a restless spirit although gets caught in an undertow as Venus makes a square to Neptune adding some clandestine activity behind the scenes. Venus Gemini likes relationships light and breezy that don’t require too much effort. Venus Gemini is more inclined to fall in love with your mind and be more turned on by your books or your library or your way with words than your bank account or fit body.
Jupiter Cancer squares the Libra nodal axis adding to the increase in indulgence, excess however with Jupiter in hard aspect blocks to abundance and luck can turn into ill or bad luck with too much of a good thing with some over kill. Give a person a few lucky breaks and they will tend to start believing in good luck and same goes for if experiencing a trail of bad luck, it’s easy to start believing you only have bad luck confirming what you put out there comes back to you as a karmic echo and natural consequence.
Saturn and Uranus meet in an uncomfortable inconjunct (150 degree angle) adjustment period for the next couple of months where the two ends shall not meet or converge” never the twain shall meet”. When Saturn and Uranus merge in any form you have Saturn responsibility, limits and following the rules get into a snarl with a disturbed and perturbed Uranus anxious to break free and liberate from any suffocation with some radical and rebellious moves while Saturn is hard pressed to grin and bear any restrictions and denials, holding onto the heavy load. The 150 angle often poses health issues (knees, skin, teeth – Saturn).
Mars finishes its opposition to Uranus as we feel the hangover of its affects with the waning cardinal cross. Mars can now do a grounding drum roll and march forward toward some constructive repair as it heads for a happy median with Venus in Gemini casting July with balancing energy patterns .
Mercury Cancer in its retrograde cycle turning inward gets turned inside out in observant Mercury in Gemini sitting at its station ready to turn direct July 2nd alleviating some of the emphasis on water and emotional spill over although at its station, sharp tongues hurl obscenities and ruffle some feathers, hitting up a raw nerve with communication gone awry or birds (air) of a feather getting into a tether (news of goose and crow attacks on humans overly protective of nests and family (Cancer) matching the Sabian Symbol for the New Moon “Game birds feathering their nests”.
