June 21 2013 The Sun moves into Cancer.

Cancer the Crab: Water: Feminine: Cardinal: Cancer folk are always trying to take care of everyone. ☺Nurturing is in their nature, in fact it’s so inherent in these guys and gals that if they don’t have a family close by they will create one from the folks they spend time with. 

Emotional Cancer folk usually operate on ‘gut feelings’ and while they enjoy the company of others around them, spending some time alone in private can do wonders for the energy levels. Like the phases of the moon that rule Cancer, there are times to be out in front and there are times to take a back seat to rejuvenate. 

The thing to watch for with being a Cancerian is not to get caught up in the “needy market”… Depending on others to make one feel “better” is not the best way to explore the finer, points of one’s nature. We all love to have someone around us who wants to take care of us, but most of us don’t want to be “mothered” all of the time. :)

Most “crabs” or those with a “crab” influence are great in the kitchen, as feeding others is another way to say “I love you”. For these folk whipping something up for supper is hardly ever a problem (unless mum is feeling a little “crabby”). 

Cancer rules the breasts and stomach. Issue’s with the tummy are likely when under stress, during a full moon or when ignoring healthy eating habits. 

Sensitive by nature Cancer folk, may at times, imagine slights from others and become defensive or withdrawn (as a crab into its shell) in an effort to block any hurt. This is something that should be watched for especially during emotionally vulnerable times (menstruation/ovulation/work or family stress/full moon), actions taken or words spoken during this time may cause more upset than intended or needed. 

June 21 2013 is also the 1st day of summer for 2013 and will be the longest day of the year and the shortest night for our hemisphere. A positive time where being outside is the norm along with spending time with loved ones and friends. Summer is a celebration of all things light and who couldn’t use some light after the dark days of winter… :) 

As we welcome summer 2013 we give thanks to Mother Earth and all that she provides us with…

May you be blessed this summer with love, laughter and great health… :) 

Warm Birthday Wishes :

Ian, Christine, Janine,  Jeff (cusp) Rose (cusp) And warm birthday wishes are sent to everyone celebrating a Cancerian birthday. Happy New Year All… ☺ 

New Moon June 8 2013

Our lady begins her renewal process on

June 8 2013 New Moon in Gemini in the 4th quarter.

She will be void off course from 4:29 am June 9 2013 until 12:16 pm; where she will visit with the sign Cancer in the 1st quarter. She will go void off course again at 5:15 pm June 10 2013 until she enters Leo still in the 1st quarter on June 12 2013 at 12:58 am.

The New Moon is about beginnings and starts … it’s the time to look forward and put new ideas and projects into motion. 

The Moon in Gemini is a fun and fickle moon, these next few days may have you feeling the need to write, email and communicate with others. Multi tasking is also likely, but watch that you don’t become too scatter brained as you attempt to do more than usual. Short trips to the city, or visits with old friends may be in order perhaps with a business idea in mind… Siblings may also be in focus. Watch the purse strings, if you are shopping you are likely to enjoy buying more than one of the same thing…

New moon in the 4th quarter. A good time to “draw back” to reflect on past events and what has been (or has not been) accomplished. Time to clear the slate and plan for the New Moon stage. 

New moon in Cancer: Time to tend to the domestic front. The moon rules the sign of Cancer and she is all about home and hearth here. A time to nurture and take care of our loved ones, cook and bbq and tidy the home front… But be aware of becoming too emotional or of making mountains out of mole hills. Those who are the more sensitive of the zodiac, like Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces might get their feelings hurt if they allow emotions free run. And those of the Zodiac who are less in tune with the emotions of themselves or others,  may need to watch their p’s and q’s for at least one day… :) 

New Moon in the 1st quarter: Our lady becomes visible 5.5 to 12 hours after ‘her birth” she is delicate but strong, eager to start anew almost with the innocence of a babe she wants to begin again and explore all that she can. This is the absolute best time to begin your new projects, especially any projects or ideas that relate to the home and family. Family is anyone you wish to include which for some may be college’s friends, neighbours and co-workers. 

When the moon is void off course we can be unsure as to how we are really feeling about something or someone, it’s therefore advisable to stick to routine tasks at this time. If any legal documents or long-term commitments are in the picture take care to make sure you understand everything that is involved before signing… Delaying important decisions and commitments is highly recommended when the moon is void off course… 

A solar eclipse can have an influence on us making things, plans, issues and or situations that happen during an eclipse last longer than usual. Sometime’s it’s unavoidable and plans have to be made, ideas need to be put into motion and there are some people we just can’t get away from or do without…. In these cases patience is strongly advised. Our last Solar Eclipse was on May 9 2013. 

Those most influenced by this month’s New Moon are those who have the following: 

Moon in Gemini: Mercury in Gemini: Sun in Gemini: Moon in Cancer: Sun in Cancer: Any Planets in the 5th house (Creativity, Children, Pets).

For those who have oppositions or square aspects to the moon, these may prove to be challenging times, if this is the case you are advised not to force issues at this time.  For those who have trines or sextiles, these may prove to be opportune times.

The workshops will take place on the deck of her residence, so we are putting our hands together in the hopes it doesn’t rain. Space will be limited so if this is something that you would like to try, it’s recommended you contact Susan as soon as possible to secure your place…
