Welcome to our New SolLunar Cycle aligned astronomically in sidereal Cancer and conjunct the powerful dwarf planet of Ceres. The sign of Cancer represents our family relations and ancestor/lineage issues. Ceres helps guide us toward knowing what is nourishing to our being on every level. There is a positive trine of generous, optimistic Jupiter to this New Moon which bodes well for good vibes and wonderful opportunities.There are other fierce forces coming to the fore in the next four weeks such as fiery the Mars/Uranus/North Node conjunction in Aries at the end of July. Sacred Lammas occurs on August 1, marking the halfway solar point between Summer Solstice and Autumnal Equinox. And when Uranus turns retrograde on August 24, it is always a wild and crazy time…

This New SolLunar Cycle in sidereal Gemini takes place in square to amplifying Jupiter and on the same day Neptune turns retrograde. Gemini, dubbed the Twins, is all about the nature of polarity and duality: sunlight/shadow, conscious/subconscious, light/dark, progressive/regressive so integrating your own split screens and tensions can be part of the opportunity this Cycle brings. Midway through this Cycle, the Sun enters secretive and private Cancer. This can bring shifts regarding your home life, family matters, reunions, passages. It can a good time to move forward with new opportunities even if you aren’t 100% sure what you are doing! 

In this somewhat stabilizing New SolLunar Cycle, the Sun and Moon align in mid-sidereal Taurus which is an earth sign that rules the throat chakra and aspects of our physical realms like our bodies, resources, finances, Earth itself. In addition, this New Moon is conjunct the star of Aldebaran, a star of visionary possibilities brought down to Earth through our collective endeavors. This cosmic activation is about motivating individuals to step forward in their field of leadership and influence. Everyone has a way to serve the higher good. May we continue to do our inner work, intend and pray for more cooperation and engage with less division.
