Friday with New Moon in Cancer

New Moon in Cancer

After the sun entered the Astrological Sign of Cancer this past June 21 (together with the Solstice), we get an astrological moment of high relevance in each and every aspect, therefore, the sign ruled by the moon, More clearly, Cancer, the innate romantic, will mark this day June 23 the new moon and with it, a total restart of all our projects in the short and medium term.

This June 23 at dusk, we have our beautiful satellite entering the astrological sign of cancer, six hours later we will mark in the sky a loop like few, the star King of the Sun and the silver lady of the moon, seal their romantic union in The crab sign. It is a time of resumption, renewal, renaissance, visualization, and planting of new projects, especially those in the short term.

The New Moon at 2 degrees Cancer infuses a sense of belonging. There is a sense that we have to go home once more. This is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the crab sign. These include honoring our deepest, most irrational and intimate feelings, recognizing the sense of security that derives from whatever we call our home; Leaving us to accept and offer support to others; And start a project aimed at improving our domestic life.

A fresh and hopeful beginning offers us this lunar phase, associated with returning to our roots and returning to the origin of things. This New Moon in Cancer could mean an opportunity to restore broken connections and reestablish relationships that have been dissolved by stress or the passage of time. If someone comes back into our life and we are not emotionally prepared to deal with it, let us listen to our instincts.

Transformation Rituals

The phases of the Moon create a certain energy that affects us and everything on Earth, and the rituals can help us to flow through them. The more we can align with the flow of Universal Energy, the more powerful our ritual will be.

One of the Moon's greatest powers is its effect on the tides. The lunar phase affects the tides not only of the ocean, but of the atmosphere and even the Earth and, of course, affects people and animals as well. The tides caused by lunar cycles have a powerful effect on all things. In fact, the Moon is responsible for all life on Earth. It is no wonder, then, that the Moon is venerated as something that gives abundance and gives desires, not to mention the fabulous romanticism that accompanies it.

Each phase has its own strength and its own power. In that sense, we are invited to let ourselves be carried by the heart and invent our own way to make the most of the energy of each energetic moment of the phases of the Moon.

The new Moon is the Moon of death and resurrection, spiritual transformation, karma and past lives. To invoke protection and destroy evils in general. Maximum energy to act inward. Time of introspection and awakenings.

Meditate on what to let die, what to let go, let go and proceed with the ritual that is most convenient while thanking and saying goodbye (in case it is not clear to consult an Oracle or Tarot Card). Then, to return to consult them to know the nature of what at the same moment is being born. Meditate on the content of the reading, thank, welcome and celebrate.

Happy new moon

Goddesses of our day, Inanna.

Goddesses of our day, Inanna.

According to the myth, Inanna was the most beautiful queen of the sky among the ancient Sumerians, always dressed in the finest silks and wearing a crown of stars on her head. Inanna became obsessed with meeting with his twin sister Ereshkigal, lady of the underworld and to be able to meet her went down to their dark realms since according to this she Inanna, was also in love with her sister's husband.

For the long-awaited meeting, Inanna asked her maid Ninshubur to dress her in her best galas and her most beautiful jewels, and to take her place in her absence, when Inanna arrived in her sister's kingdom to be able to enter, she was asked to go through seven tests Or portals, and leave in each of them some of her clothes, she, the goddess of fertility and love, came naked in front of her fearsome sister.

In the first door was stripped of his radiant and beautiful crown of stars, in the second lost his beautiful lapis lazuli, in the third lost his double collar and in the fourth was his medallion, in the fifth took his bracelet in the sixth He lost his scepter to measure, And in the last his royal garments.

Ereshkigal beat his sister to death, wanted her to know what it is to feel rejected as she had been all her life, after killing her kept her body hanging from a hook, until Inanna came back to life, And so this Form could experience the mysteries of life, pain, and death.

Ninshubur, after three days of Inanna's absence. And after having turned to his grandfather and his father, he sought Enki, his other grandfather who mourned the death of his granddaughter, and asked for his help; To rescue, The corpse of his granddaughter Enki created two instinctive and asexual creatures a Kurgarra and a galatur, And sent them to appear before Ereshkigal and reclaim the corpse of his granddaughter, one of those creatures sprinkled on the body the water of life And the other poured over him fed life so that Inanna could thus resurrect, but before returning from the underworld, he must have sought someone to take his place. Refusing to sacrifice Ninshubur or any of her children, she chose not painlessly to turn over her own husband Dumuzi, who had earlier asked her to divorce her and whose attitude had somehow contributed to the heroine's journey into the underworld.

Geshtinanna, the sister of Dumusi, offered to share her fate by agreeing that each of them, spend half of the year in the underworld, so Dumusi could return to fertilize the land.

For the ancient Babylonians, Inanna, she was called by the name of Ishtar, venerated as the goddess of sex and passion and represented as a beautiful woman escorted by a pair of lions whose symbol was the star and its sacred number 15.

In Sumerian mythology, Inanna was the goddess of love, war, and protector of the city of Uruk. With the arrival of Akkadians, Inanna is syncretized with the goddess Ishtar. Its representation was a bundle of vertical reeds with the curved upper part.

Associated with the planet Venus, it is identified with the Greek goddess Aphrodite and with the Astarté Phoenician. Among the Akkadians was known as Ishtar. According to Sumerian mythology, she was the daughter of Nannar (Sin in Akkadian, moon god) and Ningal (the Great Lady, the moon) and twin sister of Utu, known in Akkadian as Shamash. His consort was Dumuzi (demigod and hero of Uruk). Ishtar or Inanna represents the archetype of the Mother Goddess.

It had 7 temples, to which another eight can be added, although the major one was in Uruk (Eanna, dedicated to her and Anu).

Uruk had its celebrations several of sexual and violent character. Fragments of the Babylonian poem are preserved to Erra, in which the attitude of a king of Uruk, who does not treat with sufficient kindness to the prostitutes and courtesans to the happy boys who changed their masculinity by Femininity as well as the carriers of daggers, knives, blades and flint, since these, by their acts, please the heart of Ishtar. It seems that the fact that the young people slept in their beds was a matter of concern and copulation in the streets was a common practice. The role of prostitution is unclear and its possible ritual function has been discussed.

Denigrated in the Old Testament as the great prostitute of Babylon, she was the goddess of the ancient sexual mystery who was worshiped as the source of all life and embodiment of the power of Nature.

"She is the giver of abundance, the judge, the legislator, the goddess of time, as well as love and war" Her name means giver of light and derives from her role as queen of heaven she is the planet Venus as the star of the morning and sunset and his belt is the wheel of the zodiac? Descended into the underworld and restored the god of vegetation Tammuz and reviving it, Restored fertility on earth she represents feminine creative and attitude of strength.

Inanna through her journey to the underworld takes us on a spiritual pilgrimage a descent to the caves of the subconscious where hidden that part, unknown to us, invites us to recognize that shadow that dark part of our soul, and teaches us that each Travel to that part brings us back to rebirth, always richer in wisdom and experiences, teaches us that many times we must get rid of the ego, to meet the mysteries of life and death.

Inanna's journey to the Hells

The myth of the descent of the goddess Inanna (in Sumerian) or Ishtar (in Akkadian) to Irkalla or Erkalla (the underworld), constitutes one of the main Mesopotamian literary cycles and is known under several names, emphasizing those of Inanna's trip to the Hells and Inanna's Travel to the Country without Return. There are different poems about this myth, the first of which appeared in Sumerian times, and also have found paleobabilónicos examples. The poems, except for one Akkadian dating to the fourteenth century a. C. is written in Sumerian.

In Mesopotamian tradition, autumn and winter are times when the earth regains its strength and purity as opposed to spring and summer, times of flowering and fertility. In Sumer, this epoch (autumn and winter) was used for the same religious purpose, to regain strength and improve internally. Irkalla (land of no return) is the place to which impurities, bad habits, memories that are lost and the dead go. Death is a state of purification and improvement that leads to a new life.

In that context tells the Sumerian mythology that Inanna decided to go down to the underworld to face her sister and opposite deity, Ereshkigal. In the struggle Inanna dies, after which no being on Earth had a desire to mate: neither man nor animal. Before this, Enki creates to creatures without genre that deceive to Ereshkigal obtaining to him the corpse of the Goddess to whom they apply the "water of the life". Thus Inanna revives but has to find a substitute that takes its place in the underworld. On returning to Earth he finds that Dumuzi has occupied his post, so it is he whom he sends to the underworld.1

As a result, Dumuzi reigns during the fall and winter, while Inanna during spring and summer.

The fragments of poems give rise to interpretations. The story tells the arrival to Erkalla of Inanna on the occasion of the death of her husband Dumuzi. However, the Acadia version suggests that Inanna, hating him, gave it to the demons. The poem counts also the assault to the hell, governed by Ereshkigal, of Nergal, aided by Ea, and ends with the marriage and reconciliation of both.

Last Spring Friday + Summer Solstice (Litha) + Cancer Sign Start + Rituals

Last Spring Friday, Summer Solstice (Litha) + Cancer Sign + Rituals

Hello lovers, as you have already read in my previous post, this Friday 16 with the moon in the mutable sign of Pisces initiates the Neptune Retrograde cycle, which will force us to keep the focus on the objective and not distract our trip with projects "without Objective "or unsafe steps. On the contrary, the ruler of the seas and religiosity will teach us to remain calm and to keep our focus on the creative plenitude of each project we undertake. You should also remember that Neptune is an innate leader, the patron of earthquakes and high tides, and closely monitors "leaders" and group leaders very closely during their retrogradation, so if you do not learn the lesson, you can keep The calm, the regent the oceans will repeat it to you as many times as necessary until you learn it, that if, what you lose in the process for vanity or laziness, do not expect to recover it.

If you have not read the full post about Neptune Retrograde this 2017, Click here.

This Friday, June 16 will be the last Friday of spring for those of us in the North, the symbolism will not be absent, the spirit of spring begins to get sick during the intense summer nights, it gradually perishes during Autumn and Finally awakens in the world of the dead with the entrance of Winter, to return to us until the following year, there is no better example of renewal and reincarnation than the same mother nature.

As a suggestion, on Friday it is appropriate to start the "summer mode", anticipate climate changes, prepare the appropriate clothing for the coming warm cycle and remodel the home, change the furniture, do some modern feng shui, replace The colorful flowers for herbs at home and add red, orange and yellow decorative candles in the rooms, preferably aromatic candles, to symbolize the spirituality that precedes all cycles and help us harmonize the energy of the home.

This last spring Friday we will close the night with the aforementioned moon in Pisces, it will be a good time to meditate, pray, carry out all kinds of practical exercises and yoga, enter the spiritual world, read and study on religious, metaphysical themes And esoteric. The night of Friday will be in general aspects a good phase for the delivery to the prayer, the mysticism, the witchcraft and the studies linked to the astrology. Taking into account that Fridays are ruled energetically by the planet Venus (the lovers), and this is currently in Taurus, the most romantic sign of the Zodiac, will be a good time for romantic dates, marriage proposals, and family planning a long term.

A shower with rose water and essential oil of lavender or lilac will be the perfect touch to magnetize your aura with the energy of love that will be channeled, between the dusk of Friday and the noon of Saturday.

Saturn, a day ruled by Saturn, will maintain the moon in Pisces until noon, and right afterward our natural satellite will enter the astrological sign of Aries, where it will remain until Monday at dusk.

The moon in Aries that we will have between Saturday and Monday, will be a moon of fire, a winning moon, ardent, competitive and provocative, perfect for the creative and enterprising who want to go further and develop new ways of generating income. Do not forget that when taking risks, the moon in Aries is the right time, it will also be a good time to start a diet to lose weight and introduce all kinds of lawsuits and complaints.

Those magical rituals linked to the fire element will begin to have higher energy frequencies in the next few days, due to the trance between the fiery moon and the beginning of summer (which is linked to that element). For practitioners of the popular art of Feng Shui, this weekend represents a good time to energize the North point of the house and the fire point of it.

On Sunday the 18th, we maintain the moon in Aries, but this time will be the waning moon, the lunar moment to close, finish, officially consolidate and reflect on all kinds of processes and projects. This lunar phase generates a certain impatience and irritability from early hours so very attentive with the bad character and with the way of responding to others.

We started Week positively

I have always mentioned it in my social networks, I do not think there is a better way to start the week positively, than having a Monday with the moon in Aries or Cancer. One day Monday with the Moon in the astrological sign of Aries nourish us with courage, character (somewhat reckless), energy and enthusiasm of the ram, is a good week to carry out new projects and to take all kinds of risks.

Mondays are ruled by the moon, and the moon that is in Aries will change at noon to the Taurus Sign, this change between signs of fire and earth is not usually so noticeable in the first hours, so probably many will not even notice This change until dusk, when the emotional, sensuality, tenderness and possessive romance of the bull's sign is made to look. This lunar phase will keep us active throughout the day Tuesday, and until Wednesday.

We skipped on Wednesday because Tuesday will be a relatively calm day. The day governed by the communicating and multilingual planet of Mercury, we will have not one, not two, but three great cosmic changes that will be noticed from the first hour of the morning.

Starts the Summer Solstice, the Sun enters the house of Cancer and the moon leaves its comfort in the house of Taurus to visit during 48 hours the house of Gemini.

The Summer Solstice will be the great event of the day, we abandon the green frescoes and the floral spring winds to enter the warmest time of the year. In different regions and cultures we celebrate two important events that start this day, on the one hand, we have the celebration of Litha, and on the other, the fires of St. John's Eve.

Litha & San Juan

When the sun appears at dawn on June 21, Litha begins, this festival as old as mystical, releases (according to European folklore) so much energy that all the portals open and momentarily and allow the passage of spirits and ghosts to our plane, The plants picked up tonight have more power than usual, they are even more powerful than those collected at Bruges in Samhain and Walpurgis. Especially aromatic herbs.

Anthropology has taught us that man celebrates this day by lighting fires to attract fertility from the Neolithic era, so it is one of those few traditions that, when realized, somehow allow us to keep alive the memory of our ancestors.

The fires of Litha are lit in different parts of the world, it is the magic night when the spirits wander among us with divine permission, for no more than 24 hours, and the gods of fertility visit lovers' beds to commemorate their union with Unforgettable gifts.

In the Yoruba tradition, the children conceived on this eve as a divine gift are considered, not for the parents, but for the whole humanity.

Litha is one of the eight Sabbat celebrated by the Wiccan community, where the sun shines with greater intensity and the strength of male-run coven increases until it shows its greatest potential.

During the night, Saint John's Eve, Saint John's Eve or Saint John the Baptist Night is also celebrated, depending on the country, because it is celebrated in different places between June 21 and June 24. This ancient tradition consisted in firing fires by the sea to "give" its fire more force to the Sun because HIM would lose its strength in the coming months with the arrival of the icy winter. Today it is celebrated this same night under the tutelage of St. John, who consecrates the attendants to the celebration with his blessing and health, in addition, the grass Luisa and sagebrush, collected during the night of San Juan, are considered doubly consecrated By the magic of this day, brings clairvoyance and exorcize the evil spirits, being one of the most powerful nights of the annual cycle.

Added to this and to close, this same day is the Sun's entry into the Cancer Sign, and the moon into the Gemini Sign. So, Happy Birthday to all Cancer in your month and be very attentive to my networks, that I will be sharing various rituals and tips for each lunar phase.

Saturn & Neptune Retrograde

Saturn & Neptune Retrograde

The planets, as well as the stars, function as magnets of magnetic energies that alter and influence positively or negatively in different aspects of each of us, these magnets, radiate, transmute or

Absorb these energies according to their polarity.

These transits corresponding to each retrograde planet take the energy of the sign in which they are, and slow it down, causing a de-acceleration in each of the aspects that are governed by it, helping us to take it for what it really is: a lesson Of life, since in life there are no failures, only experiences.

Neptune Rx

Neptune, the regent of Pisces, will be retrograded in 2017, between June 16 and November 22 in his sign Regent, Pisces.

During this transit, it is common for external structures to weaken more and more, to lose their support and stability. But Neptune only corrodes that which has an unreal or defective structure and only wears out the aspects that we have voluntarily ignored or avoided for too long.

When Neptune is retrograde, it makes us daydream, so it is important during this transit to have our head very well placed on the shoulders and feet on the earth so as not to make mistakes during this transit. When it happens, it tends to live in a world of fantasies, old dreams that do not match the reality of today. He travels a sign between 14 and 15 years and retrogrades once a year.

The most common attributes of Neptune are spirituality, religiosity, dream, and transmigration of the soul. Its retrogradation, on the other hand, extols in its totality the discord, the superficiality, and the arrogance. Neptune in retrogradation is a good opportunity to open ourselves to what is beyond the ego, to actualize the altruistic love and to penetrate in spheres of knowledge and wisdom more ample and complex.

Neptune represents the ability to sound and create, as well as our inventiveness, sensitivity, spirituality, intuition, compassion, the world of sacrifice, deceit and illusion. Retrograde Neptune can discover careless feelings of our interior but that flow to great depth, this period marks a suitable time to delve into the emotions with calm and understanding.

Saturn Rx

Saturn, the regent of Capricorn, will be retrograde between April 6 and August 25 in the sign of Sagittarius.

Saturn, whose domains include discretion, diplomacy, well-defined structures, our understanding and use of time as well as the passion for all that is unknown, is who helps us to better understand the world around us.

Saturn is well known as the planet of discipline, perseverance, perseverance, order, and silence, as such, demands calm behavior, the seriousness of intentions (zero double intentions) and practical actions that lead us to the goal without deviating Of the road. When Saturn is retrograde, it forces us to understand and remember what our limitations are, this period is a blessing among retrogradations, because it forces us to grow as human beings and entrepreneurs, usually brings us additional responsibilities and forces us (understand, against our Desires) to accept duties and all kinds of obligations with a lot of patience, tranquility and above all dedication, retrograde Saturn leads to much frustration, but not for that we must surrender, this period strengthens us and helps us to grow in the personal and professional aspect .

During the retrogradation of Saturn, it is common to feel frustrated, angry or more stubborn than normal, because all projects seem to be delayed and there are thousands of "issues" that we had forgotten to attend. Retrograde Saturn is a true specialist in developing personal growth, testing people and separating the strong, the truly strong (not those who pretend to be) from the weak. It is an annual period of improvement, so good luck.

June of Intense planetary changes + Full Moon in Sagittarius

Intense planetary changes

Mars to Cancer

On Sunday, June 4, start the transition from Mars to Cancer, a time when we feel the need to fight for the family, the people and the causes in which we strongly believe. With this transit, when we are hurt we hide in a shell, our emotional life is very charged and we tend to act or react according to our feelings.

With Mars in Cancer, we have a protective instinct that leads us to create a safe home for ourselves and our loved ones. At this point, we need to keep busy at home in order to burn off excess energy. Mars is both an activator and a warrior. This battling planet is our best friend when we need the energy to make something concrete and to get in trouble by reacting exaggeratedly.

We pursue our interests with ardor, but we avoid a direct approach to go after what we want. In addition, our goals and plans are subject to mood swings and hesitations. We are more defensive than aggressive and much of what we do depends on our current mood. As Mars moves in Cancer, we will be more sensitive so we must avoid impulsive action and exercise our patience. Pay close attention to our sensations, instincts, and hunches, because they will give us many of the answers we need for the change proposed by the Uranus-Pluto square.

Venus in Taurus

Before changing signs, a few days ago the Venus-Uranus conjunction was formed in Aries on June 3. At the moment we are resourceful, with unusual tastes, and a certain degree of artistic ability, looking for all kinds of human relationships, even those that are not fully accepted by society, in order to explore life in all its dimensions. Now we want to enjoy freedom in our personal relationships to be able to detach ourselves, without feeling guilty.

In Taurus, the goddess Venus is confirmed very sensual and possessive. The sign for its part values the "here and now", as well as the world of the five senses. While we are under this influence, we seek the security and value of what remains. Our appetite for pleasure is strong. Taurus values the here and now, as well as the world of the five senses. So the tangible and physical expressions of love and romance are more important now.

The tangible and physical expressions of love and romance are the most important thing now. Clinging to someone we love is our tendency under Venus in Taurus. The dark side of this is excessive possessiveness and treating our partners and partners as objects that we possess or wish to have.

A love for music, appreciation for sensual pleasures and for the other good things in life is typical of this transit of Venus in Taurus. This has an effect on the aesthetics and art of insurance, but at the same time on the practical and materialistic: we develop a sharp appreciation of the value of things, including the money that is needed to acquire them.

Mercury in Gemini

Just in the magical hour of the midnight, between June Tuesday 6 and Wednesday 7, 2017, enters Mercury in Gemini, where he feels at ease as regent of the sign. Now, the planet travels first class to move situations and bring information bubbles to the surface. With spontaneity, ideas and new concepts in the air, from this moment the star establishes a new rhythm that increases activity, facilitates new information and speeds up the speed of things.

When Mercury is in Gemini, we are especially communicative, curious, and sociable. "The winged messenger" feels at home in Gemini, one of the signs he rules. We now have the tendency to have more pleasure in obtaining a superficial knowledge of many subjects rather than deepening one. We are especially cunning when it comes to arguing or making a point. We are attracted to word games and negotiations, but we can also easily distract ourselves.

Mercury in Gemini fills us with astonishment for the world. We go out and mix with a new crew, we get into cultural activities, and explore the new in the surroundings, from the perspective of the messenger of the gods. Artisans and those responsible on planet Earth will be blessed by this transit. Writers, teachers and media managers of information exchange and ideas also favor the event.

Unfortunately, this quicksilver energy does not give us a long period of attention. Our interests could change from day to day, and every hour, In this period, under this influence, committing ourselves to a thing could leave us claustrophobic, or feel that we lack the air.

Sagittarius full moon

This Friday, June 9, is the time of the Full Moon in Sagittarius. Then, on the same day an hour later, he takes up his direct Jupiter course in Libra, continuously connected in quadrature with the change agent Pluto in Capricorn, activating again the process of synthesizing everything that you have experienced from February 2017, to digest it into usable wisdom.

The Full Moon in Sagittarius speaks of the Gemini-Sagittarius polarity, a mental axis, where Gemini represents the "lower mind" and Sagittarius represents the "higher mind." The Sun in Gemini encourages us to think logically, while the Moon in Sagittarius persuades us to intuit and think in a broader way.

Sagittarius symbolizes the search for meaning and ideas that expand into the "here and now". Gemini is quite comfortable in your immediate neighborhood or neighborhood, while Sagittarius encourages us to venture beyond it. Neglecting either end of the shaft, surely, can turn against us. Ideally, a balance must be found between the two energies, and this is what the Full Moon invites us to do.

This Full Moon is in communication, attitude and our sense of adventure. Something has been building within us, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos rather demands that we let it out. Over the next two weeks, let's find out what this means for us. For now, we can not sit in our feelings. We have to express them.

This lunation illuminates the conflict between logic, intuition, and faith. With the Full Moon in Sagittarius shining in the sky, symbolic "enlightenment" occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional because there is a feeling of emotions exploding in our consciousness. It's time to express ourselves, and let things get out of our systems. Of course, we might want to exercise some caution in doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is fresh, unrefined, and particularly irrational yet.

Blessings and Happy week.
