New Moon in Cancer 7/17/23


On this day at 11:32 AM PDT the Sun and Moon share the 24th degree of Cancer 56 minutes. It’s time for making plans, goals, wishes you hope to actualize in your life. It’s your opportunity to focus through the Cancer lens, which includes inner peace, loving generously, your home, and the life you’ve led. Like a Mother preparing to give birth, we can look at ourselves with the most sensitivity and nurture that which needs caring for. We can prepare the way through balancing our relationships with those we love and having a kind heart for those we’ve yet to know; so called “strangers.” But through this lens, we see we are all connected, all part of each other. All part of the human family.


This Cardinal Water sign is a leader and inspires us to be just that. Leading like the Mother with an open heart that feels EVERYTHING. This sign is ruled by the Moon which reflects the Sun's light differently every night. Always changing, this luminary rules our emotions and how we feel about what is common to the abstract. This is why it might be most beneficial to spend time alone, reflecting on our ever changing lives with an open mind and heart. We can connect the dots and see why we are doing what we are doing. But is this what we want to continue, or is it time for change? Our behavior is reflective of our inner being, and this grand opportunity is about taking a deep look at what we do and why. Is it anchored in the past, is it part of our family history, does it even belong to us?


This sign provides us the view of ourselves as children and how our early years affected us. We can clearly see cause and effect, what led us to our current notions and why. But do these “memories” still serve us, or keep us stuck in limitation. Our child inside wants protection and will respond if provoked whenever we don’t feel safe. Are these cues still directing our actions unconsciously? Something to think about on this occasion.


The Sun and Moon are sextiled by Uranus at 22 degrees Taurus. This aspect is subtle yet powerful in a beneficial way. Where Cancer is typically traditional and conservative, this aspect inspires the unusual and unorthodox; not to allow tradition, convention, or other people's expectations to dictate how you are going to live your life. You’ll crave freedom, adventure, excitement, and discovery, and will not fear change. This aspect to the Moon helps us be uninhibited and spontaneous. You’ll love to feel free and unfettered.


The Sun and Moon are trine Neptune at 27 degrees Pisces. We have a heightened awareness, are more imaginative and sensitive to anything colorful, beautiful, or magical. You’ll be attracted to artistic and creative pursuits, music, and mysticism. Your spiritual values will color your whole perspective and approach to life. This aspect to the Moon directs our attention to the beauty and harmony of our surroundings, and will have a very powerful effect on our emotions. Discord or dissonance will be even more upsetting than usual. Gentle, kind hearted, and peace-loving, you will give or sacrifice much in order to avoid a fight and to "make everyone happy". The key here is not to forget about the self and its needs and values.


So if possible, I suggest entering the water medium to meditate; either through swimming, bathing, or soaking in order to deep dive into this medium and reap the benefits it provides. In this element we are given the light and love of clarity. Our bodies are 55-60% water, so we can imagine we are back in the womb, preparing ourselves for this life to come. Dream as a child would, without fear, just what you hope to be and accomplish in this life, which is our gift. Even though life gets tough and puts us through the learning and changes, know you have designed this for yourself. You and guidance before your birth chose this path for yourself, in order to fill out your “dance card.” To experience what is needed to make us whole, complete and more like the Great Spirit, however you view this.


So as this sign indicates, be kind to yourself first. Pray for yourself first in order to be all that you can possibly be. Teach others, like the Mother does, with caring and an open heart for what is to come. Be at peace with the here and now, and look to what is still left to be done in order to grow. Become authentically you!


Thank you Judy!!! To connect to here her and her magic....

Full Moon in Capricorn 7/3/2023

On July 3rd at 4:39 AM PDT the Moon is full in the sign of Capricorn. The Sun is at 11 degrees Cancer 19 minutes, and the Moon is stationed at 11 degrees Capricorn 19 minutes. As with every Full Moon, this is the culmination of all things hoped for, wished for and worked on when the Moon was new, back on December 23rd, 2022. During the holiday season we are all consumed with giving to others, gifting them what we think will be of service to them, from a new pair of socks to something they always wanted. But, someone had to provide the means of these gifts, and that is what Capricorn is all about.


This sign is about responsibility and being grounded in the world. It rules our career choices, our reputation and the 10th house of the zodiac. This house describes how we put ourselves into the world, and what we do for our “work.” At the time of the New Moon, the Sun shares the same degree giving us the full spectrum of how we shine (Sun) and how we feel about it (Moon). There is no better time to face the music of our lives and decide if we are on the right path. This no nonsense sign wishes to climb the heights, slow but sure, to reach the top of the mountain of our goals. This is illustrated by the glyph representing this sign; the SeaGoat. Able to reach the depths of the sea to find the hidden pearl, and to climb seemingly unreachable goals up the mountain trail. There is a dedication to follow those goals, and now with the Full Moon we can observe how far we’ve come.


The Full Moon always shows us opposites, with the Sun and Moon seemingly in conflict. Here the Sun is in a Water Sign, full of compassion and willing to sacrifice, while the Moon is in an Earth Sign, dug in and determined. When we look at our current situation in life, these signs can show us where we fall short, or have grasped the idea of this axis being necessary to our well being. Capricorn can be aloof, almost cold in its emotional response, while Cancer is all about feelings. It is time to strike a balance when it comes to caring and daring.


We have come to this incarnation to learn and grow, to add to our personality, and our soul that which we haven’t fully experienced. We may look at what keeps us from living life fully, and blame others for our shortcomings. But the truth is we chose this “blueprint” also known as our Natal Chart, with all the potentials. At this time we can see clearly what we chose and why, due to these signs and energies. Ultimately, we chose to learn about love; love of self and love of others. Can we love ourselves as we are or is there more to learn? Heck yeah, there’s more to learn so don’t give up! We are divine beings, learning how to be closer to those we admire for their strength of purpose and those that share unconditionally. We are, after all ALL THAT IS, a drop in the pool of Great Spirit, here to shine in our own right. A member of humanity, yet an individual. The Sun reminds us in its energy how to shine best in this current lifetime, and this Full Moon shows us the way to get there. One sure footed step to the next.


On this occasion the planet Mercury is conjunct the Sun, and opposite the Moon. With the Sun's help, you’ll tend to see things from your perspective only and to be rather subjective. You will also enjoy talking and expressing your views but you won't always listen as well. You will have a clear mind, a love of learning and new experiences, and need constant mental stimulation and activity. The Moon presents the need for the personal, human element to evoke your interest. Your interest is in people and their inner motivations, feelings, personal lives, and experiences. You’ll be a natural listener with a talent for getting others to talk about their lives, dreams, desires - the things that are personally meaningful to them. So the balance here is sharing information with each other while listening to others, yet focusing on your own life and well being. We have all of the answers inside of us, it’s simply opening that door to the infinite part of us, and listening and acting on the wisdom shared with us. Be brave and go to the wellspring of your soul. The door will open and behind it is the glory that is you.

The Summer Solstice 2023

This year the first day of Summer and the longest day/shortest night of the year begins at 7:58 AM PDT on June 21st. Let’s get this party started!


There are many articles explaining what happens on this occasion; basically the Sun travels along its northernmost path in the sky. The North Pole is at its maximum tilt, and the Earth’s axis is pointed directly toward our Sun. This day provides us the most light, the thinnest veil to access Spirit in the most profound way. It leads with the longest day of the year, the brightest, most hopeful time, when the sprouts have sprouted and life is growing stronger every day.


For centuries people have gathered to celebrate this day as the return of the light of the Sun. It promised to give our crops what they need to grow, and likewise it provides humanity with that light as well. We have an opportunity on this day to join our intent and energy with the world’s people through prayer, feasts, bonfires, singing and dancing the new season into being. The sign that is responsible for this is Cancer, at 0 degrees 0 minutes. This is the sign of Mother, the home, family and nurturing. This Cardinal Water Sign is powerful, a leader by all rights, leading us into the Summer season.


This year the Sun is sextiled by the North Node at 1 degree Taurus 7 minutes setting up a special opportunity for us all. The Sun and North Node point us to our mission for this lifetime, where we are to shine and excel. With this blessed aspect comes hope and energy provided to us to get our act together. Sometimes in life we may feel the deck is stacked against us, keeping us from realizing our full potential. But here we have a gift providing we accept it and take it to the next level. Just think; Mother Earth provides for us a full cornucopia of support, but we have to apply it to our life by eating, bathing, growing and learning. Are you satisfied with what your life is providing you, or can you take it a step further? This is the moment to dream big dreams, step out into the light and show our talents and skills in the best ways we can.


So how do we do this? You may wish to gather together with like minded souls, family and friends, and honor what is being given to us. Look to the sky that sends us its solar energy and bask in it. Many set up celebrations with delicious food, music, singing and dancing to elevate ourselves. We commemorate those who came before us who looked at this day as the return of the Sun to shine its greatest light upon us. It’s about gratitude for all that is provided for us.


On this day the Moon, Venus and Mars are all in the sign of Leo. This makes for an even greater opportunity as this sign sees itself as unlimited; the King of the Jungle, powerful and strong. It represents the Father in the Zodiac, the leader of the pack. So between the Mother energy of Cancer, and the Father energy of Leo we have a balance of power. After all, we are all built to display our male/female selves, right and left brain in harmony and working together to create the best outcome with confidence and appreciation. Allow yourself to feel powerful and strong, then light the fire of your soul to move forward on your mission, whatever it is. Goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our life if we apply ourselves to the greatest good for all. But first, we must believe we deserve this. So on this occasion take the time out of your day or night to first have a moment of silence to gather your thoughts about just how fortunate we all are, then party hearty! Let the world and your guides and the angels bask in your light. Attract the highest energies to work for you and with you to accomplish your greatest goals, and set the intention fear will no longer rule the day, but confidence in yourself will pay you back with the greatest outcome you could hope for.
