Cancer New Moon: Sopdet Activation

As I write we are living in times of such powerful transformation. We are witnessing the world as we know it with new eyes. Seeing things in ways we have not seen before. This is beautiful. It can also be new and unsettling. As we wonder whether we are aptly prepared for this curious and transformational journey

I spoke in the podcast about a handful of aspects that are active in the chart for this new moon. I will offer a few more comments here in the bolg about the themes in the podcast:
1) Sun and Moon in Cancer: The super sensitive yet protected crab is the perfect time to be having downloads about the state of the 3d world in which we live. Cancer innately invites us into our sensitivities. 

2) Sun and Moon Conjunct Venus in Cancer: Venus adds the invisible communication aspect to this new moon, as she is currently not visible in the night sky. This is the time when Venus is said to be communing wth the stars and  preparing to reconnect with humanity later this month. You should be able to see her after sunset at the end of this month (around the 24th, depending on your horizon and light level).

3) Chiron squaring what feels like Everything: The centaur known for his ability to share healing wisdom and knowledge is squaring Pluto in Aquarius, the Sun, Moon, Sirius and Venus in Cancer, as well as Castor and Pollux, which are conjunct Venus. I want to share here about the aspect Chiron is making with Venus, Castor and Pullux. In Greek mythology Castor and Pollux (melodramatic music plays in the background) are the twin sons of the union of Leda Queen of Sparta and her husband the king of Tyndareus, but also fathered magically by Zeus himself. THey are the two bright stars in the Gemini constellation. And, as we've just left gemini season this message is coming in at the perfect time.The Greeks and Romans had many legends about the twins. Some tales are contradictory: this is not an uncommon occurrence in classical mythologies, and did not affect the veneration in which the twins were held. All the stories agreed that when Castor was killed, his bother Pollux, who had been offered immortality by Jupiter, insisted on sharing the gift with his brother. But the Fates of the underworld still needed to be appeased, so it was decreed that the twins had to spend the same time above ground as below. This possibly rings a bell with goddess Persephone, who also spent half her time below and half time above ground, with one of her overarching messages being the balance of light and dark. I offer here that Castor and Pollux, showing up to conjunct Venus tightly together are reminding us of the inherent balance of light and dark in the universe. As the goddess (in this case symbolized by Venus) awakens she is squaring Chiron to remind us of the bigger picture, that some of the collective wounds we are trying to heal are less our own and more within the collective consciousness.

4) Sun and Moon Conjunct Sirius: I will close this post by sharing an image of the relationship of Sirius with our Sun. The notion of Sirius being the most important star to ancient Egyptians, along with its importance to the Dogon tribe, suggests that there is more for us to learn and receive as a transmission from this star! The image at right suggests that not only do the Sun and Sirius have their own "binary relationship" via their orbit, but that this is perfectly in sync with what we know of the Hindu Yuga Cycles and/or The Great Year.

The Yuga Cycle says that there is a 24,000 year cycle of time with 12,000 years descending and 12,00 years ascending. The image at right outlines this concept, and I've made a video you can find on my youtube channel here and in the image below to offer some more information.

​As with everything, take what resonates for you!​
