Cancer New Moon – July 15, 2015 – Crashing Waves

Cancer New Moon – July 15, 2015

Crashing Waves

 

There’s some striking astrology at the Cancer New Moon (July 15th), that calls for a tidal alert.

Cancer, as you know, is the sign of moods and the Moon itself. Sun and Moon — the Luminaries — are at 23 degrees Cancer.

Shock Waves

All the hot flash planets are on edge, and even dangerously so, with Pluto staring down Mars-Mercury in an exact opposition.

What’s coming to mind is a deluge of all that’s been stuffed down, and that’s felt too intense, even dangerous, to express.

Looking for Pluto’s silver lining, it’s a purging of core, compressed soul contents. The release under these conditions can feel like a devastating tsunami of feelings and raw material.

If you stay with yourself (stay present, alert), and let the feelings and whatever live, it is integrated. And it can be vitalizing, because you’re reclaiming energy (and dimensions of your soul) pure and simple.

Tips: Give yourself space to “Be” without having to smile (when you don’t feel like it) and make small talk. Let anger or just raw energy rise, without rushing to act on it.

Then there’s jolting Uranus (in Aries) in an angle to the Sun-Moon. It’s a very charged New Moon and there could be sudden shocking events. The Mars-Aries burning is one that potentially fires you up to take leaps of faith forward.

See if the tensions inspire growth and action.

Caution: It’s wise to avoid stirred-up crowds and people you know to be volatile.

New Moons are for resting, and keeping a low profile syncs with the atmosphere. Take note of what triggers you, and direct any raw energy that rises to your highest goals.

Jupiter and Venus are still close together in Leo, and in a friendly angle to Uranus (Aries). Choose the noble path of high achievement and dignity, no matter what others are choosing around you.

Wild Card – Human Emotion

It’s all pointing to the wow factor of human emotion saving the day, in the face of enormous demands of the after effects of the Uranus-Pluto square.

The great tidal force (Cancer) is an emotional wild card, for surprises that seem to well up out of nowhere, but are heart-felt. Cancer, like other cardinal signs Aries and Capricorn pushes the action forward, with feelings merging with other kinds of drive (passion and worldly ambition).

A great one to deeply listen to your feelings as messages about what’s in need of change. These messages may be impossible to ignore, and seem to carry a sense of getting a second chance to make things right.

When the Moon is new in Cancer the Sun is also in Cancer.

The New Moon is a time of fresh starts — in this feeling water sign, it’s time to refill the well. Find a refuge where it’s safe to emote, and rest, be renewed.

Intuition pioneer Penney Peirce say that rather than intention, the idea is to charge something with attention. With the New Moon in vivid, motivating cardinal water, your toolbox is complete with the charge of feeling and a vivid imagination.

New Moon in Cancer themes:

security, financial and emotional

the need for nurturing and intimacy

the longing for a home

women and ‘mothering’

homesickness for family life

emotional impressions around motherhood or relationship to Mother

childhood memories and embedded patterns of behavior

the desire to cuddle and know true intimacy

home comforts and feeling safe

imaginative gifts

emotional intelligence

It’s a Good Time to:

Dare to be honest about what you’re feeling.

Share your heart with someone you trust.

Start an artistic project and protect it in its infancy.

Get to the bottom of irrational fears, needless worry, dependencies.

Looking at where you’ve grown too ‘soft’ and childish.

Consider how you self-soothe, and find healthy ways to refill the well.

Look at your emotional roots, and open to deep healing.
