This is a Re-Do New Moon that has the vibration of a Full Moon opposition. Oppositions ask us to integrate opposing energy so we experience balance and harmony. On this Lunation day the Moon in Cancer first trines Neptune in Pisces (ease and spiritual flow) and then during the next 12 hours opposes Jupiter Rx in Capricorn (revisioning your spiritual vision) Pluto Rx in Capricorn (releasing what no longer serves us and embracing transformation) then 22 minutes after the exact New Moon Luna will oppose Saturn Rx in Capricorn (identifying what limits and restricts us and prepare to release whatever that is). Then the Moon will enter Leo at 4.16 pm EDT (the ego personality or the Compassionate Heart). But we are not done with the oppositions yet. At 6.28 pm EDT the Sun in Cancer (emotional intuitive guidance) will oppose Saturn Rx in Capricorn (how you feel empowered or not in the World). While the Moon and Sun oppose the Capricorn planets the astrological Earth is in Capricorn and merges with them. She gives us the opportunity to create a strong spiritual foundation for our Soul Purpose Path.

Because this is the second New Moon in the Solar month of Cancer she is like a Blue Moon but called the Black Moon (not to be confused with Black Moon Lilith). She asks us to look deeply within and ask “does what I chose at the Cancer Solstice Eclipse Moon on June 20/21 still resonate as the right path for me”. If not it is time to redo. In The 13 Original Clan Mothers by Jamie Sams the Clan Mother who guides this Black Moon is Becomes Her Vision. She is the Guardian of Transformation. She teaches us to become our vision and release the old self and its fears. She joins Loves All things the mother of unconditional love and acceptance (Cancer) and Talks With Relations the mother of the planetary family who teaches us how to enter the Sacred Space of others with respect (Capricorn).

Our Animal Totem guide for the Cancer New Moon is Flicker Woodpecker. She guides us through transitions life requires with All Healing Love. For the planets in Capricorn we are guided by Snow Goose who supports and guides us to follow our dreams and visions on our Soul Purpose Path. (They are reversed for the Southern Hemisphere).

This is a very powerful New Moon of Transformation that guides to the Leo New Moon on Aug 18. The Moon in Cancer is in her home but Saturn Rx in Capricorn is in his home. Both very strong. And Mars at 12 degrees Aries is in his home. At this Lunation he is opposite Juno at 12 degrees Libra adding to the theme of opposition. Mars is aggressive action but Juno is harmonious relationship. Let’s all choose the latter. From Aug 04 to 24 Mars in Aries will square the Capricorn planets and will also merge with Eris, the Goddess of discord and conflict at times (mid-Aug and early Oct). The positive gift from Eris is purposeful action. 

Our Messenger Planet Mercury is still in Cancer (our thoughts and emotion perceptions) and he is still in his retrograde shadow until July 26 even though he moved direct July 12. He will echo the oppositions to Jupiter/Pluto/Saturn in Capricorn from July 30 to Aug 03.  He is reminding us to be clear about what resonates for us. To listen to our strong intuitive guidance. That is the gift of this transformational Cancer New Moon. 

Namaste and blessings,
