No ordinary New Moon

Gestation in the safe, watery confines of the familiar has served its purpose. Mission complete.  This weekend’s new Moon at 0 degrees Leo embodies a call to action, a proverbial decision to crack open the shell that has contained our creative juices for long enough. 


Inspirational Uranus and Mercury dance together playfully and skillfully, bringing us flashes of future possibilities. Mars in the mix refuses to be left behind, jostling for position, compelling us to test our strength and confidence without an umbilical cord to nourish us, without the ties that bind us to something that has outlived its purpose, to limits defined by someone else. 

This new Moon announces our readiness for baby steps, those early, fierce, determined movements toward emancipation and unapologetic self-expression. Our inner lion needs acknowledgement at each step on the road to mastery, cheers for accomplishments, encouraging support during challenging moments. With those ingredients, our creativity can be mobilized for a very long time.

Prayer on this full Moon.

In the hours before this lunation reaches fullness, let’s consider the deep, abiding need for connection and security that each of us has. 

Under the light of this full Moon, may more and more of us get to feel and remember how powerful connections become when we participate as authentic, mature, responsible individuals who consider not just our private needs and wellbeing, but those of the whole… the whole family, the whole community, the whole country, the whole world.

May we commit to the difficult work of supporting transformation in individuals, families and countries who are in conflict, so that we have new tools to create a rich and meaningful life.

May we work hard for and nourish the friends and alliances who embody equality and justice, communication and love, as we transform this world into a safe and sustainable place for all sentient beings. 

May it be so.

Is the grass always greener?

Over the course of our lives, many of us are pulled to relocate at one point or another, and for a variety of reasons, work – quality of life – education – family – health – relationship, among them. 

Fellow astrologer, Steven Forrest, explains some techniques we use in this field to help our clients understand the kind of influences that a move can have, whether it’s to another region or another country.

Can you handle the fire(works)?

July and fireworks go together like love and marriage here in the USA. The new month opens with a Moon-Jupiter conjunction in Libra.  It’s a celebratory and social influence. Family and close friends arrive from near and far to observe Independence Day a few days hence. Happy couples walk hand in hand, some of them down the aisle, hopeful and optimistic about the future. We begin the month on a happy note. Good cheer and generosity abound.

Sunday, July 2, sports a Mars-Pluto opposition.  Have a constructive outlet on hand for this intense energy. Keep a lid on power struggles that could spoil an otherwise pleasant weekend. Choose an activity that’s both creative and physical. Honeymooners are sure to feel passionate intensity in the bedroom. The rest of us can channel Mars-Pluto by tackling something that’s challenging and rewarding.

Monday July 3, is a great day to kick back and relax with a watery trine involving the Sun-Moon-Neptune.  Sleep in, enjoy a lazy swim, take an afternoon nap, meditate. Activities that are artistic and creative are most satisfying.  Paint a banner to carry in your local parade, make a costume, but pace yourself with alcohol consumption!

July 4th could be a little tricky with a Moon-Chiron trine, a Moon-Venus opposition, and a Jupiter-Neptune quincunx. There’ll be plenty of drunk and disorderly people in the streets, all in the name of a good time, of course. Having a Plan B that offers an escape from the madding crowds could be a lifesaver during the day. Jupiter may like to party and Neptune may like alcohol, but going overboard is seldom a wise decision. With this particular quincunx we’re easily blinded to consequences of our actions.

Easy does it, and have a wonderful holiday.
