  • Some of us may feel needy, while others of us are happy to be the cuddler, helping our loved ones feel secure and in deed needed. Caution is advised that some of us can go over board on the needy thing during this moon period, so be careful if you don’t want to “scare” someone off… 
  • It’s a time for cuddles, caring, good food and just plain old lovings… :) Enjoy..

July 2 2019

The New Moon traditionally is the considered the best time to begin a new project and in some instances a new relationship. This new moon will be in the 4th phase, which is the best time to finish up projects, she will move into the 1st phase on July 3. It is suggested that we plan any new projects, ideas, on the 2nd, yet wait until the 3rd to put those plans/ideas into action.

  • The new moon will add another layer to the influences listed above. 
  • Folk with strong Cancer influences in their charts, may be very sensitive to the words and actions of others. Taking things personally when it may not have been meant that way. 
  • Interest in improving the home, redecorating, moving furniture around, organizing, or planning a new renovation is probably. 
  • Family ties could be important to some of us now and we may be inspired by something or someone to start up a family tree. 
  • Cooking and children and caring for loved ones is on the agenda
  • This could be a great time to try out a new bbq recipe and have a get together with family and close friends.

HOW IT AFFECTS OUR DAILY LIVES… 

In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. :) 

The Moon Void-off-Course: 

There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void off Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void off Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-off-Course moon… 

Good for Void-Off-Course Moon:

These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.

  • Cancer
  • Taurus
  • Sagittarius
  • Pisces…

Opportunity Periods  (thanks to astrologer Jim Shawvan):

There are other periods throughout the month that are known as opportunity periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods.

Astrology and our daily life: Sun Moves into Cancer: Neptune goes retrograde: Summer Solstice: June 21 2019

June 21 2019 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 2019 is also the 1st day of summer for 2019 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 2019

We give thanks to Mother Earth.

May we all be blessed this summer with love, laughter and good health… :)

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

Neptune the planet that rules Pisces and the 12th house goes retrograde on June 21…

Neptune is a a spiritual planet, he is the God of what is not known, what is hidden… he is our dreams and our fantasies… when he goes retrograde, we may not be as forthcoming in our beliefs and it may be more difficult to express our “dreams”… our imagination may be questioned by ourselves… what is real? what is fantasy? where is the line between what may be accomplished in the “real world” and what is just silliness? …

We question ourselves, is it o.k. to dream, to believe in something we cannot see? … It’s all good, however, take care when something or someone comes along that seems too good to be true… we may not be seeing all that there is to see, we may believe in things that cannot be…

It may not be the best time to put our faith in others, nor in what we cannot understand… use caution and common sense… :)

 

Warm Birthday Wishes :

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

What does it all mean?

  • Taurus needs emotional and material security, so we may find we are more interested in our financial affairs. 
  • This may prove to be a good time to make investments for the future or to begin plans for the next financially responsible phase. 
  • Taurus has lots of patience, indicating this could be a good time to deal with people/projects/situations that take up more time than is liked. 
  • Things that give us pleasure, such as comfort foods, wine, relaxing, good music and giving/receiving “loving’s” are all things we may enjoy right now
  • Some of us may be feeling more frugal than usual, preferring to save our funds instead of spend them. 
  • Take your time when the moon is in this sign, there is no need to hurry, and you probably won’t get very far if you do… so sit back and enjoy the ride… :) 
  • In the 7th house: Venus rules Taurus, and while the 7th house is traditionally the house of Libra, the “action” created in this life area with the moon in Taurus may be quite substantial still. Conversations and actions that require the input of another person or persons is likely… and any upsets or arguments that happen during this time period are likely to be about possessions or financial issues that are shared, or have a strong influence in everyday life. 
  • Keep your temper under check if you can, Taurus is very, very patient and it takes a lot to make her angry, but watch out once she has had enough, she will certainly let you know.. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. Those with strong Libra placements in their charts will also be effected. 
    • Moon in Taurus,
    • Sun in Taurus,
    • Venus in Taurus
    • Sun in Capricorn
    • Moon in Capricorn
    • Moon in the 2nd house
    • Moon in the 7th house
    • Any aspects to the Moon, Venus.
    • Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Taurus

    • Capricorn is business, duty and discipline. She is ruled by Saturn, the planet of restrictions. 
    • We may be more in tune with our work/career or vocational direction.
    • Change may be more challenging to deal with, and we may be resistant towards it… 
    • Being disciplined towards our “duties/chores” may be easier to achieve. 
    • Dealings with the elderly may be in focus. 
    • Dealings with “authority” types, such as teachers, principles, supervisor’s may be in focus. Being respectful of such positions may help to alleviate tension. 
    • This could be a good time to get mundane business tasks out-of-the-way
    • If you have been waiting to get a “chaotic” situation under control, now may be a good time to do it.

***NOTES***

  • The Sun Enters the Sign of Gemini on May 21 @ 3:59 am (ET) 12:59 am (PT).
  • Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communications, transportation and technology.
  • Gemini is a dual sign, she has more than one side to her nature and is the sign of Twins.
  • Gemini is chatty and can be superficial… She can have many things on the go at once, and many Gemini folk may have more then one job, likely in the form of two part time jobs.
  • Boredom is the “enemy” of Gemini… they need to keep busy and can be quick to become restless…

Many Happy Returns of the day go out to: Annette, Debbie, Chandra, Christopher, Cheryl and to all Gemini’s may this be a fabulous year for you… :)

*** Mercury moves into the sign of Gemini until June 28th.

As mentioned above, Mercury rules this sign and is connected to the 3rd house of siblings, day to day affairs, short trips and correspondence.

Mercury is content in this position, he will enhance the mind power of all Gemini’s and any of us who may have a strong Mercury/Gemini chart influence. It is easier to get our point across now, however, some of us may have to watch how much we talk… it’s a chit chatty time for some of us. Make good use of this influence, by seeing to anything that requires strong mental power… it could be a good time for study or for picking up a new subject.

  • Be careful when driving especially when upset or angry
  • We may be more susceptible to head injuries or head aches
  • We could be eager to start projects now, however, we have just experienced a full moon, (time to finish up) so if you really want to start something now, choose something small… 🙂 
  • Be careful about while engaging in physical activities, we may feel stronger or more “heroic” at the moment but our bodies might not be in the same “zone” 🙂
