daily numerology, New Moon in Cancer, nurturing, On This Day in History, self-care

Cosmic Weather:

“What the younger generation didn’t understand was that the grass was greenest where it’s watered..” Nicholas Sparks

Tonight’s New Moon (9:17 pm) occurs at 18 degrees of nurturing, protective Cancer, a sign represented by the hard-crusted crab. This is a natural time for new starts that focus on such things as enhancing our sense of safety, security, comfort, or self-care; firming up our familial, tribal, or ancestral ties; allowing ourselves to be rejuvenated/sensitized by the full range or gamut of our emotions, including a willingness to embrace our vulnerabilities or shadow side.

This lunation is also trined by transcendental Neptune retrograde in Pisces, possibly suggesting (at least for some of us, perhaps) a wish to link up to our Divine underpinnings in some palpable way. Neptune’s ray here also tends to enlist our compassion, creativity, and imagination.

Too, our nocturnal dreams may contain potent symbolism or special messages for our life now so we might want to place a personal journal under our pillow so as to capture any of these renderings. (And to maybe goad on us a bit, in this regard: It has been reported that Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones got the embryo of the band’s hit song ‘Satisfaction’ in a dream, which would go on to become the group’s first #1 single in the US on July 10, 1965. Also, Beatle Paul McCartney supposedly composed the melody for ‘Yesterday’ while catching some Z’s. )

Numerologically, today is a “3” and “9” day.  Typically boding well for communication, curiosity, and open-mindedness. Nine is also a symbol of completion and is thought to have a higher vibrational frequency, a reality which is associated with feeling a greater sense of personal power as well as experiencing greater clarity, peace, love, and joy.

*All times EST.

On This Day in History: On July 9, 1893, the first successful open-heart surgery took place on Chicago’s South Side. The patient was a young man with a knife wound to the chest from a barroom brawl. The surgeon, who had gone into medicine because he disliked earlier work as a shoemaker’s apprentice, was Dr. Daniel Hale Williams. Williams, an African American, also founded Provident Hospital in 1891, the first Black-owned hospital in the U.S. which had an interracial staff. Provident Hospital is also where this pioneering surgery took place. (Chicago Tribune and History.com)

Astrologically, that day, Mars, which rules surgery, was deposited in Leo, the sign of the heart (where it also is today). Mars was also part of a trio of planets conjunct in that sign then (Mercury and Venus were the other two). Mars was also exactly sextile to Saturn in Libra, which is an excellent aspect for concentration and for harnessing/maximizing expertise or a skillset. Additionally, Mars was exactly square to innovative Uranus in the rebirthing sign of Scorpio, an aspect that naturally lends itself to experimentation and or devising/using new methods.  

Happy New Moon blessings to you!

Astrology April 7, 2021: Sun Conjunct Ceres

daily astrology, nurturing, On This Day in History, self-care, Sun conjunct Ceres, symbolic birth of the internet, Waning Crescent Moon

Cosmic Weather:

“Nurturing a feeling makes it proliferate. Choose wisely. Joy, kindness, love, and caring will illuminate your life.” Amy Lee Mercree

Sun conjunct Ceres in Aries (3:05 am) – We are more inspired to actively pursue self-care measures. Fresh realizations also sprout up regarding what makes us feel the happiest or most alive; we identify desires that are vital to the continued emergence/flowering of our life’s sacred purpose or that yield for us a deep sense of inner well-being or self-renewal.

Luna, now in her Waning Crescent phase, also wraps up her stay in progressive Aquarius today, with her last aspect in that sign a conjunction to expansive Jupiter (6:04 am). With Luna conjunct the largest planet ln our solar system, there’s a  proclivity/preference for grander gestures now. Also, more of a feeling of hope and optimism.

The Moon will then enter imaginative Pisces in, late afternoon (4:30 pm), helping to give a big thumbs-up to creative projects. Luna here also extends to us a gentle protective cover for perhaps catching up on some (well-deserved) R & R (also a perfect complement to today’s nurturing Sun-Ceres conjunction). French fashion designer Christian Louboutin also says the best way to relax is “to do what you love.” That sounds about right. Do whatever keeps you in sync with your own natural rhythm.

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: April 7, 1969, is the internet’s symbolic birth date: publication of RFC 1.

Astrologically, that day, scholarly, expansive Jupiter and tech-savvy Uranus (which now rules the internet) were closely conjunct in two different signs: Jupiter was Rx at 29 degrees of analytical Virgo; Uranus was Rx at 1 degree of social Libra. The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction symbolizes, among other things, the birth of seemingly unlimited possibilities for modernization; the reception of important new (consciousness-raising) downloads. By the way, the U.S. also put a man on the Moon, for the very first time, when these two planets were exactly conjunct, later that same year. 

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology January 15, 2014: Full Moon in Cancer

“You will never feel truly satisfied by work until you are satisfied by life.” Heath Schuck, The Working Mom Manifesto

COSMIC WATCH:

A Full Moon in “maternal” Cancer tonight (11:52 pm EST) illuminates the polarity between our personal or inner world (home, family, and roots) and our public or outer life (career, duties, and ambitions), the latter signified by the opposing Sun in “paternal” Capricorn.

This nurturing Full Moon is a chance for us to get clearer on how we can successfully integrate both of these realms so that we can bring more enjoyment into our lives. Too, with the frenetic pace of daily living, it’s often easy for us to look upon life as something merely to be endured, instead of as a vehicle for self-actualization and fulfillment.

This feelings-oriented Cancerian lunation predisposes us to go within; to perform a “gut check” on ourselves, regarding where we’re at and how we got there. Feminine, protective Cancer, the sign of the womb and mother, has a very keen survival instinct and always knows what is in its best interests to do to sustain its existence. Included in the equation now may be a growing awareness of the need for administering liberal amounts of self-care to ourselves as a way to start thriving in the future. “Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel.” Eleanor Brown

This nostalgic Cancer Full Moon may also find us journeying down “memory lane” to re-connect with, or reflect upon, our familial past. In general, there may also be movement or developments in affairs pertaining to family or our home life. “For in every adult there dwells the child that was, and in every child there lies the adult that will be.” John Connolly.

This lunation may additionally be a good time to assuage or heal old wounds as we have benevolent, philosophical Jupiter retrograde conjunct the Moon and wise Saturn trining it from transformative Scorpio. The Moon and Saturn can also help us to coolly detach from our feelings and see things as they are instead of how we merely wish them to be. On another level, this trine is positive for re-organizing our domestic environment to make it more open and efficient, with Saturn injecting the minimalist or utilitarian influences.

Overall, Full Moons are a time for release, a time when we begin to empty out our chalices. We also may see matters suddenly coming to a head or climax. “You leave old habits behind by starting out with the thought ‘I release the need for this in my life’”. Wayne Dyer

What activities could you minimize now that don’t add to your sense of personal well-being or professional fulfillment? What makes you feel nurtured and protected? What comes up for your when you think of your home, your family?

Full Moon Blessings to you!

Astrology October 24, 2013: The Nurturing Cancer Moon

“When you assess your own life, consider it with the eye of a gardener. Underneath the surface lies rich, fertile soil waiting to nurture the seeds you sow. Even more than you can imagine will grow there if given a chance.” Steve Goodier

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon’s placement in “maternal” Cancer graciously supports self-care efforts and also poises us to be more protective and nurturing with those around us. Too, on the topic of self-care, Life Coach Cheryl Richardson (author of “The Art of Extreme Self Care“) wisely recommends that, “We need to put the idea of ‘self-care as selfish’ behind us for good.”

Additionally today, we have the Moon sextiling “energizing” Mars (10:30 am EDT), in the “diligent” sign of Virgo, enabling us to deftly tap into our own resourcefulness, while also serving to align us with our heart’s passions and desires. This potent aspect is also very positive for any systemic cleansing or detoxification measures, with “perfecting” Virgo governing health matters. “A healthy body is a guest-chamber for the soul; a sick body is a prison.” Francis Bacon

Enjoy your Thursday!

COSMIC WATCH:

“Question reality, especially if it contradicts the evidence of your hopes and dreams.”  ~Robert Brault

We have mental Mercury in vulnerable Cancer squaring off with stern, reality kingpin Saturn in balancing Libra. This is one of those days when we may need to earnestly strive to see the glass half-full, as naysayer Saturn tends to conjure up our doubts and fears. We begin to second-guess ourselves.

Not to worry, though. There is surely a patch of blue sky with sunshine around us somewhere. We just have to find a way to align our personal orbits so that they will eventually intersect with this more inspiring outcome. With Saturn’s narrowing ray stoked, it is often helpful to step outside of ourselves in a bid to gain wider perspective.

Also, we do have the Moon steeped in mystical, nirvana-seeking Pisces, which should be a blessing for us here. The Moon in Pisces also helps to inspire compassion in us. Too, we may want to remember to use some of this on ourselves now, as part of our own self-care.

In the Northern Hemisphere, it is also the day of the magical summer solstice (1:16 pm EDT), when the empowering Sun enters nurturing, nesting Cancer, where it will stay for the next month. This ingress also serves to sensitize our nature and gets us much more in touch with our feelings, as well as our nostalgic past. Our need to put down firm, stable roots, is very vital to us now, as we seek out activities or interests that make us feel more secure, with special emphasis centered on the home and family arenas.

“When you look at your life, your greatest happinesses are family happinesses.” Joyce Brothers

Happy Solstice Day!
