Happy New Moon, July 17, 24° Cancer

In her home sign Cancer, Luna keeps everything in the devoted embrace of uncurbed care. People, things, thoughts, and emotions are washed, immersed, and cleansed in her all-connecting waters. Nobody is alone in the realm of Lady Fortuna who always mirrors the heartening light of the One Solar Spirit.

Luna’s exaltation lord, Jupiter, watching over the start of this lunation cycle from a whole sign sextile, innocently but surely diffuses the boundaries between what’s mine and what’s yours. Sometimes caring becomes too strong of an attachment that, if misdirected, can subtly turn into encroaching. If you care too much about someone or something, liberation is due in one form or another.

Comfortably absorbed into a big wet mass of the familiar, Luna is blissfully unaware of what’s lurking in the veiled depths of her Crab Sea. A trine aspect to Neptune mesmerizes the senses enough to keep her enwrapped in the cherubic mirage of intimate safety until the opposition from Pluto abruptly breaks the sweet illusion of peace and comfort.

“There's a dark side to everything.“ – Prince (Moon trine Neptune, opposite Pluto)

Forewarned by the close sextile to both Luminaries from the Great Rebel Uranus, shockingly, this month’s journey may lead to the sudden realization that you are naively nestling into the arms of your own reflection. Plutonic forces may let your trickling stream of tranquility turn into a waterfall of uncontrollable emotions.

If what you thought was real turns out to be an illusion, keep in mind that it often works both ways. Maybe you’re already penciling in the contours of what you previously could only dream of and thought was impossible to accomplish.

“I have dreamed in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.” - Emily Brontë (Moon in Cancer, Mars in Virgo opposite Saturn in Pisces)

Water can cut through rock if it keeps streaming long enough. The opposition between speed master Mars in Virgo and dogged Saturn in Pisces acts like a robust two-man saw, removing any practical or intrinsic obstacles interfering with the process of Necessity. Brutal as Mars can be, as he’s ferociously cutting away the non-essential, he is completely committed to the task at hand. Must. Work. Now. Saturn will deal with the emotional consequences later.

Sometimes, there’s not much else for us to do than admit how little control we have, and temporarily surrender to forces greater than us.

For too long, Our Loving Aphrodite, the Moon’s triplicity ruler by day, has been filling the cracks of unbearable loneliness and insecurity with her soothing love potion.

Demanding our attention as she stations retrograde on July 22-23, we need to re-discover the sparks of our fiery passion that once burned a hole in our hearts. On our way over there, we may stumble upon a new treasure, but not without wading through some dirty water first.
