<<There is a new moon Monday. 2 questions: 1) what is the diff. between a
full moon and a new moon >>
Steve,
The New Moon in Cancer occurs on Monday, July 12th at 10:24PM EDT at
20 degrees, 17 minutes of Cancer (20Cancer17). At the New Moon, the Sun and
Moon are in the exact same degree. At The Full Moon, the Sun and the Moon
are exactly opposite. If this were a Full Moon, the Moon would be at
20Capricorn17.
Because the Sun and Moon are "conjunct" (together) at The New Moon,
there is a concentration of energy, in this case, in the sign of Cancer.
Jan Spiller, co-author of Spiritual Astrology, refers to The New
Moon as a Power Day, due to the powerful concentration of energy. She
suggests focusing on the energy of the sign in which it occurs to "flow with
the universe" (my words).
It would be no different than doing an exercise in "positive
thinking," or an exercise in being "in harmony with nature," or "at one with
the universe." And she suggests writing out our intentions, or what we like
to focus on as a way "putting it out there" (again, my words).
Example: Cancer has to do with matters of home, family and
ancestry. Feelings of belonging. It is a very nurturing and caring energy
(Key Phrase: I FEEL). Empathy. Moods. Also has to do with matters of real
estate and country, and feelings of nationalism. Cancer is in the "security
polarity" with its opposite sign, Capricorn. It is the Water sign in its
liquid form. A "fertile" energy.
Naturally, we can focus on these things all the year round. All
that this is saying is that this is a good time to "go with the flow" in
these matters. It would be no different than saying that "summer is a good
time to have an outdoor barbeque." That "flows" better, or is easier, than
having an outdoor barbeque in a blizzard in January.
In doing any exercise, mental or written, we are creating our own
reality. If we get out of bed and say to ourselves, "life sucks," it likely
will suck (self-fulfilling prophesy). Our thought patterns create that
reality for us. If we would like to change our reality, that takes effort on
our part, and we need to take action. Things aren't going to change on their
own.
So, we can mentally focus on, or actually write out things like:
Cancer words are in bold: (credit to Jan Spiller for some of these ideas)
1. I would like to experience reciprocal feelings of caring in my
relationships with my family.
2. I want to be more nurturing with and supportive of my children.
3. I want to release all feelings of insecurity.
4. I want the tendency to be ruled by my moods to be easily lifted from me.
5. I want to purchase a home that I can afford in which I will feel secure
and happy.
6. I want to develop a greater appreciation for this wonderful country that
is my home, and for my fore-fathers and for the soldiers who fought and died
so that our nation could live in freedom.
7. I want to take action, and purchase the security system for my home that I
have been wanting.
8. I want to find the right words to say to my mother that create mutual
feelings of love, caring, and understanding.
9. I want to feel a deep sense of belonging within myself in my family
relationships, as well as within all other relationships in my life.
10. I want to feel more empathy for others, and to show more human kindness
to others in my life.
Just a few examples of how we can create feelings of well-being and
of happiness for ourselves, and subsequently, for others.
The language of astrology is just one means through which we can
understand how do that.
