New Moon in Cancer

6-7:15 pm PDT

A link for the live event will be sent a day in advance & a recording will be sent following.
Just past the summer solstice, the Sun and Moon join in the zodiac sign, Cancer. Even as the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky, its journey in the opposite direction begins, the steadily diminishing light moving us towards harvest as the days grow shorter.
The great lights, now in an arena redolent of maternity and amniotic warmth, join Black Moon Lilith. The great lights illuminate the dark feminine, initiating the lunar cycle as America’s Supreme Court seems bent on using the law to return women to the dark for the state’s purposes. A hard square from Sun/Moon/Lilith to the Jupiter/Mars conjunction in fiery-let’s-go-Aries suggests the court will be met with resistance. And Venus and Mercury in airy Gemini can make the conflict and debate lively and even intelligent (we can hope).
Lest we forget the Pluto return of the USA, the Sun will be joined by Mercury in Cancer opposing Pluto in Capricorn: this relatively young nation is facing painful truths about our history, our present, and what that bodes for our future. Pluto’s deep scour of social systems (Capricorn) will be tempered by the Sun and Mercury’s tender ministrations, perhaps some grace in our collective and personal soul searching.
Note: If you have a copy of your own horoscope, it will be possible to trace these currents to your own experiences. For more information on reading your own natal chart, you can purchase the recording of How to Read Your Own Horoscope 101.
About Carol Ferris
Carol Ferris is a full-time consulting astrologer, teacher, and private tutor of astrology with four decades of experience. She completed her MA in Interdisciplinary Studies at Marylhurst University. The title of her thesis, The Sky's Body: Constellations and Medicine reflects her ongoing interest in nature-based medicine and governance thinking of the ancient Near East and Chinese philosophers and astrologers. Carol's work with the multivalent symbols of astrology is interwoven into work with dreams and active imagination. Over the years, Carol has seen these two frameworks —astrological mapping and Jungian imagery —as mutually beckoning guides to understand how all life, in its exquisite specificity, rises from a unified field.
