We can all have roots and wings … if we are willing to fly.
As is the theme for 2020, we are experiencing another rare and unprecedented event when we welcome in the second New Moon in Cancer on July 20. This opens up the possibility of making changes to our terms, before the universe makes them its own.
The new moons generally follow a particular cycle through each zodiac sign; However, this year, there will be no new moon in Leo, as there is usually in late July and instead we will be honored with another New Moon in Cancer, the first one occurred on June 21st last month.
But this is a Double New Moon: a bookend moon where we have another chance to see the issues that come up for us.
There is absolutely nothing that is random, including astrology, so for us experiencing four moons of cancer in one year is truly the universe, not only calling us home, but giving us the opportunity to make changes to the front of home.
As we go deeper into this moon, we are likely to continue reflecting on the full moon lunar eclipse in Capricorn that we experienced just a couple of weeks ago, in which we were asked to reflect on the foundations and structures that we have already laid down. , and those that we hope to create.
We have also just arrived on Saturn to return to Capricorn as part of its retrograde cycle, which is creating for us a moment of review for the events that occurred between December 2017 and March 2020. This is not just in terms of rethinking and reflecting on what we learned, but wondering if the path we are following is the one we want to follow.
Saturn in Capricorn, especially, refers again to the structures and foundations, including the agreements we made in our lives. So this is an excellent time to reflect on what we have subscribed to in our lives, and if they still resonate with the person we have become.
Adding to the energy is Mercury that went direct into Cancer on July 12, helping us to feel more easily and articulate to communicate those deep needs that we may have difficulty expressing. Even by looking at the energy we receive, we can see that Cancer stands out, the sign of home, family, motherhood, but also Capricorn, the unofficial sign of fatherhood and duty and obligation, which often adheres a This role.
But we have to go back and look at the bigger picture: the pattern that the universe has created for us this year so that we can tune into what we must see and learn.
We start this year with a full moon lunar eclipse in cancer, celebrate the new moon solar eclipse in cancer and now welcome a double new moon in cancer. We will end December with a Double Full Moon in Cancer, because it will be the second Full Moon in that sign this year!
Having four Cancer moons in one year is significant, and wasting this opportunity would be tragic.
All this year, also thanks to the pandemic, we are asked to focus on the home, the family and even on that role of mother / woman. In many ways, we are beginning a new chapter with this New Moon in Cancer that we will see bear fruit in December.
But we have to allow ourselves to see the truth, grow from it, and then make the necessary changes so that, by 2021, none of us says that we simply returned to normal.
As beautiful as this moon is, it will come with its own challenges. Venus, the planet of love and beauty, although direct, has not yet reached the grade (five Gemini), and turned retrograde in May, so we may not have the full picture yet.
These energies may be seeping into this moon, but we can also realize that we have to decide to act without any guarantees.
While this is potentially the beginning of a new chapter in our lives, with the Double Full Moon in Cancer occurring in late December, we may be experiencing feelings of frustration.
There is likely to be an energy of being able to see the outcome of different situations in our lives, specifically those involving, home, family, committed relationships, and life paths; however, how to get there may still be cloudy for many of us.
This is completely normal for where we are now. But instead of succumbing to frustration, try using it as fuel to keep moving forward. And ask yourself: is it that you don’t really know how or when you will arrive at that final vision, or is it that you expect there to be a different way?
Even if we feel uncertain or frustrated by the lack of clarity right now, we can still celebrate how far we’ve come, even in the month since the last New Moon in Cancer. And, most importantly, we can still act this month.
The new moons have to do with new beginnings and new cycles. In many ways, this is not just a Double Moon, but the second opportunity that does not always come to reflect on what we want to start.
What seeds do we want to plant that we can harvest next December’s harvest? What steps, no matter how small, can we turn around this New Moon in terms of those sensitive areas of home, family, and commitment that we will be thankful for once we call in 2021?
Life only changes because we do. This is something we have to learn as we go along: to really see that change in our physical environment, we first have to see that within ourselves.
One of the most important lessons we will experience this year is that we do not need to choose between roots or wings; We do not need to abandon what the people we are did to us to become the souls to whom we are destined.
Instead, we must learn which pieces to take and which to leave behind. This is the gift of this moon.
