Cancer Moon ~ 4-6 June 2019

The Moon travels into nurturing Cancer and the 11th House of friendship, hopes, and desires at 9:17 AM PDT on 4 June 2019 until it moves once again into Leo at 12:16 PM PDT on the 6th. From an emotional perspective, friends can be both a blessing or a curse to Cancerian, particularly when in the 11th House. Although they may not always live up to our expectations, we’ll still feel compelled over the next few days to seek security from close friends. The chart is below:

Chart Information

• Mode/Quality – Cardinal and Mutable energies dominate over Fixed during this lunar period creating an interesting balance between initiating and unstable influences.
• Elements – Fire provides the strongest influence, its energy both motivating and challenging
• Ray – Although roughly in balance, the 7th Ray of Ceremonial Order and Magic assists in organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Sign – Gemini and Cancer provide the strongest influences blending Air (intellect) and Water (emotions)
• House – 5th and 11th Houses provide the strongest influences involving creative expression and relationships with others.
• Quadrant/Hemisphere – both the 4th Quadrant as well as the Southern Hemisphere are influencing surrounding career and public status.
• Retrograde – Ceres (issues of self-nurturing), Jupiter (inward focus), Pallas, Pluto (dealing with karmic debt), and Saturn (revisit old issues, inward discipline)
• Active I Ching/Human Design Gate/Line – 6/4 – Gate 15 Modesty, Egolessness Line 2 Influence – influence over others based on personality; 6/5 – Gate 39 Obstruction Line 5 Singleminded – provoking an emotional response; Active Channel – both days – 5-15 Channel of Rhythm – a design of energetic flow.
• Lunar Phase – New Moon

Aspects

A conjunction with Mercury (Orb 0°17′ Separating) indicates an imaginative and intuitive individual fostering emotional interactions with others. Ritual is favored with the Moon in sextile with Vesta (Orb 1°57′ Separating) along with a focus on preventative health care. However, if misunderstandings arise, it may be due to the square with Chiron (Orb 5°26′ Applying), and it may center on our mother or a mother figure in our lives.

Attention paid to the Human Design Gates and Channels may provide support, particularly on the 4th, however, caution is important on the 5th given the singleminded focus on obstructing others. This is where Chiron’s wounded nature may make its influence most felt. The Channel of Rhythm fosters staying in the flow which may be exactly what we need.

Magickal Workings

Over the next two days, magicks involving catalytic action (Tuesday) and communication (Wednesday) can be worked. Amethyst and bloodstone can provide a helpful assist on Tuesday while citrine, agate, and fluorite are favorites on Wednesday.

Additional rituals can involve revelation along with divination. Ansuz will be helpful in this regard on Wednesday, however Nauthiz would be appropriate for any catalytic workings on Tuesday.

Overall Outlook

We may want to be careful over the next lunar period to stay in the observer mode and avoid emotional reactions to others. Alignment meditations or rituals can assist us in staying in balance and help us avoid taking the bait. Seek out friends for support but be cautious if any obstructive or provocative tendencies arise.

Until next time…

Lunar Blessings!
