New moon in Cancer at 4degrees

This new moon is unique because it is conjoining Jupiter, just recently at Cazimi — an exact degree conjunction with the Sun. The new moon is therefore infused with Jupiterian energy. It is important to note that while this lunation is quite auspicious in benefic influences, it’s also in a potent pointed square with the challenging Saturn/Neptune conjunction in Aries.

Ideals and reality are colliding in uncomfortable ways to the dreams, visions and desire for peace and joy, abundance and plenty, radiating from the home and family front. There is also a sense of urgency.

But what is the sign Cancer for anyway? It’s traditionally associated with the home and the mother. Cancerians are long known to reflect upon the past and become attached to it. However, looking a bit deeper, the angle of the chart associated with Cancer is the Nadir/or low point. It’s the Imum Coeli (IC). It is the basis and the foundation in the traditional chart—that area from which we are planted and we are to stand.

I write to you now as the New Moon has just come off its exact moment and the clarity streaming through deposits my mind (as I am also experiencing my Mercury return as we speak) in complete clarity around this moon’s message.

Your basis for your life is a lot like your “why.” It’s deeply associated with your purpose. Your job is to check and tend to this area of your consciousness that props you up and look at the foundation. Does it need any crack-filling? Could it use another level of thickness? What is your daily mindset around comforts that nourish and replace your vitality? Have you been checking in on the mundane aspects of your ideals? It’s not the time to go out on a limb and go searching for what is already here.

The energy of Cancer lands us directly where we are planted to check for stability and resources. From where we are positioned do we have enough of our basic needs met? what actions can we take to ground our lives more deeply into commitment with our purpose?

As I sit with you here, I allow the energy to settle and flow through the soil and ground of my being. I breathe deep into the fortitude I have created to live in a modern world full of uncertainty. I stand firm with the awareness that I am not an island, and energies of nourishment and support continue to collect around me.

My wish for you this Cancer New Moon is that you take a look at your environment and anchor yourself into the awareness that you are here to live this special life you were given, with full purpose and inspiration. Any frictions are passing drains and distractions on clarity that will quickly be replaced with your own renewed presence, as you return to order and semblance, at the basis of your own being.

I’m available for consultations starting in the fall. If you want to come back and check for my offerings, it would be a good time to do it.

May you be happy. May all beings be happy!

With deep aloha and gratitude,

Ka
