planet waves horoscopes

by Eric Francis

This season we have two New Moons in the sign Cancer, and two penumbral eclipses of the Moon (each at the time of the next two Full Moons). This highly unusual combination of solar/lunar events will seem to spin the world on its finger. The first Cancer New Moon coincided with the Cancer ingress of the Sun on June 22 (the solstice), conjunct the asteroid Vesta, the revered erotic high priestesses of Roman mythology. The second New Moon is a total solar eclipse in the last degree of Cancer on July 21. The June 22 New Moon is no ordinary lunation, arriving close to the solstice and consequently touching the Aries Point in a square aspect. This is astrology that seems to push us into an acceleration curve. In the background is the feeling of reaching for deeper and more meaningful connection to the larger world. The sign Cancer is one that is associated with pushing our way into physical incarnation, which we do mostly with our feelings. Yet Vesta teaches an element of detachment, as if we are being called upon to express devotion without much promise of a result. Apropos of Vesta, I would be cautious about offering yourself up for too much sacrifice, and I suggest you keep questioning the whole concept, which A Course in Miracles tells us is the one thing standing between us and our freedom.
