The New Moon this month will occur at 03:52 pm BST at 07°22’ of Cancer. Although it looks like there will be some intense energies and some high emotions around the time of this New Moon, there will still be some stabilising aspects and a level of comfortability with our surroundings. This is overall a positive time of entering into new phases in our lives yet it is equally a time when we can welcome some introspection that aides in a level of self-enlightenment that helps light our pathway through into the new cycle.
The New Moon Lands in Cancer
With the New Moon this month landing at 07°22’ of Cancer, we might notice certain things coming to our attention that are represented by this sign, such as our home life and the natural methods we use to nurture those around us including those closest members of our family. We might find ourselves reminiscing about our childhood or thinking about the more difficult aspects of this and how we can heal from them. Looking even further back into our ancestral lineage, our family tree and the heritage of the place we were born is also just as relevant right now. With the New Moon in Cancer we might also instinctively wish to cocoon ourselves in with our deeper feelings and with a sense of inner calm. We might be comfortable in introspection as we allow the themes of the coming lunar cycle to gradually unfold.
The New Moon will square Jupiter
The New Moon will be forming a very neat square aspect with Jupiter on Wednesday. With Jupiter at 07°18’ of Aries, the orb is only 4 minutes wide, so this square is very potent in energy and could prove to be an intense alignment. Jupiter packs a punch in his triplicity fire sign of Aries and the Moon will be in domicile, so emotions could be running high and there might be an air of excitement with the Sun in the mix. Jupiter aspects can also clearly point towards determination and self-assurance as we approach our new goals.
Mars will square Pluto
Mars in Aries in a square aspect with the Pluto retrograde in Capricorn will add a great deal of energy to the determination we may already see with the Jupiter square. Being self-assured and determined is potentially immensely helpful as we progress through the lunation cycle, yet there is also a danger of over-confidence with these two configurations coinciding in the chart together. For this reason it’s always a good idea to ensure we remain grounded and realistic every step of the way. Practising some compassion and restraint might be essential at this time.
Jupiter will sextile Venus
With Jupiter forming a sextile with Venus, social activities are boosted and we may find ourselves placing a higher priority on the friendships we have with others of similar beliefs or with the people who help to raise our spiritual vibration and awareness. Expansion is important to us right now amongst friends and in romantic relationships and we may find we meet some exciting opportunities as a result.
Mars will sextile Saturn
Mars’ sextile to Saturn offers us all a chance to feel comfortable in our skin or at one with the physical world around us. Our goals and intentions are generally aligned with the outside world in ways that help us to feel stable and secure, which is precisely what we need sometimes.
More about Wednesday’s New Moon in Cancer
The New Moon will conjoin Dark Moon Lilith
According to Abrahamic legend, Lilith was the first woman created by God and was Adam’s first wife. Adam posed a problem to Lilith as they both sought sexual dominance of one another and eventually, Lilith fled the Garden of Eden, leaving Adam alone. Despite attempts to bring her back by three angels, she would not come. Because of this legend and Dark Moon Lilith’s association with it, this calculated point in represents feminism and feminine power and freedom. It also represents the mysterious underside of creativity and change. Whilst well and smoothly-aspected, she can indicate an ability to step out of the norms of society and into meaningful transformations. With difficult aspects, there can be issues with submissiveness and repression. During the New Moon on Wednesday, Dark Moon Lilith closely conjoins the Sun and the Moon, therefore issues relating to feminine power and even feminine authority may come to the surface for all genders.
The New Moon will trine Vesta
Just when we thought the light of this New Moon couldn’t receive anymore power and essential fire, it is just as worthy to note the Sun-Moon conjunction will be in a very close trine alignment with asteroid Vesta, who is the divine Goddess that represents spiritual purity and eternity. The spiritual fire of Vesta is a flame which is never allowed to be extinguished, so that the sacredness of divine purity and fertility remains. This ignites the passions in our hearts we have for lifting the vibrations of humanity and strengthens our resolve and tenacity towards all that we hold dear.
