New and full Moon June 2007

Due to holidays and festivals over the next couple of months the Moon forecast will cover both the new and full Moons and will be shorter. I would like to thank all you ardent Moon gazers, the feedback is much appreciated.

The night after the full Moon there was a spectacular Moonrise. The Moon was conjunct Jupiter, close by was Antares the heart of the scorpion, Saturn in Leo was about 120 degrees away to the west and Venus so bright and so beautiful was just above the horizon. What a treat!

The summer solstice is nearly half way between the next two lunations. The Sun is at its highest point in the sky and transits the same area of sky for four days. The word solstice means to stand still.  It’s a time to take stock, reflect on where we have come from and where are we going. The energy is a lot more out-going at this time of year and there is summer madness in the air.

The new Moon chart has Gemini rising with the Sun and Moon conjunct in Gemini in the 1st opposite Pluto in Sagittarius in the 7th. The Sun and Moon are also sextile to Mars in Aries in the 12th and Saturn in Leo in the 4th and trine Neptune in Aquarius in the 10th. Mercury, the chart ruler, is in Cancer in the 2nd and doesn’t have any aspects to the personal planets, it’s first aspect is a quincunx to Jupiter in Sagittarius which is setting. Venus is in Leo in the 4th and is conjunct the IC which is the lowest point of the chart. There is also a grand trine between Mars, Saturn and Pluto.

Gemini likes to collect in information and distribute it out. Mercury in Cancer is very sensitive to the thoughts and needs of others, losing the ability to detach oneself. Mercury goes and there will be the feeling of going over old ground especially on an emotional level and where issues of the family or past are concerned. Mercury is the bridge between the Sun and Moon and often sees both points of view. The aspect between the Sun and Moon and Pluto intensifies things especially in the arena of relationships and communication; don’t forget there are two sides to a coin.

On the 25th of June we have the last Saturn/Neptune opposition. Which has left me with the feeling of not knowing whether l am coming or going. One minute feeling like my nose is against the wall and the next feeling very spaced out, I keep putting myself out of my comfort zone, which is actually a gift because l am becoming more aware of what l feel comfortable with. Which hopefully will make me become clearer around boundary issues. The Saturn/Neptune is square my Sun/Venus conjunction in Scorpio. I know lots of people who have been under pressure and feeling very tired. So hopefully once these two giants separate things will start to feel better.
The full Moon chart has a very different pattern to it. It has a Liberian ascendant and Venus the chart ruler is in Leo in the 10th conjunct Saturn. Venus is still applying to an exact opposition to Neptune in Aquarius. The Sun is conjunct Mercury in Cancer in the 9th opposite the Moon in Capricorn. There is a lot of push me pull me energy to this chart asking us for awareness. Money could be an issue especially the lack of it which could create problems within relationships or maybe we might hear of a lot of people being made redundant. This could have a knock on affect to the property market. Mars has moved into Taurus, which could give the feeling of things slowing down. Taurus likes to take its time and has the capacity to move mountains grain by grain. I could go on and on and - this is me keeping it short! I don’t think so.

Anyway l leave you with a quote:
“When earliest man first looked upward towards the heavens, he measured his life by the transits of the Sun and Moon.” Cycles of becoming Alexander Ruperti.

Blessings of the summer solstice to you all. Linda Day
