Second New Moon in Cancer / Online Class: Rituals and Spells with Dreams.

New Moon in Cancer
July 20/2020




Greetings and hugs to all my readers who walk through this little virtual corner, this 2020 cycle we celebrate a second new moon in the astrological sign of Cancer, and this brings us interesting energy that we must work on.

Blessings…


The new moon is our appropriate moment of reflection, meditation, clarity, and introspection, it is the moment that we take advantage of to plan and plan our next steps, and begin to recharge our energies.

This moon once positioned in the astrological sign of Cancer (water moon), is a lunar phase focused on self-love and love for family, for friends and loved ones, for the appreciation of home and of our place in the world.

Motherhood, fertility, conception, fertility, as well as all matters related to the study of past lives, premonitions, and the world of dreams, all of this becomes vitally important during the moon in cancer.

The "unusual" of this moon, the fact of having a second moon in the same sign of Cancer, again, is a sign of the universe that is sending us to focus on those aspects, which for one reason or another (work, projects personal, aspirations, individual trauma) may be inevitably displaced.

This moon brings us to focus on working from within the home, from the family and individual aspect, from the couple relationship, and the relationship with our loved ones, to the way we feel that we are being treated by them.

During the moon in Cancer, there is also a certain tendency to sudden mood swings, indifference, depression, anxiety, and highs and lows in moods.


A new cycle…. That we had already started.


Only weeks ago we started a new cycle with the new moon in the sign of cancer, a cycle to strengthen and study our personal relationships with the moon. And now again, with a second new moon in Cancer, we are presented with a new cycle that will end a full moon in the next six months.

We can take this as an omen (both individually and at the community level), indicating that the next few months will put our interpersonal relationships to the test, and therefore the moon is resisting advancing to its next stop (the moon in Leo ), where we focus more on ourselves, and it is giving us the adequate energy to continue working a little more in our family relationships.

The new moon represents this monthly reset, which the moon performs to remind us how important it is to renew ourselves and to be ready to start again from scratch.

This powerful energy favors us to start and lay the foundations that will bring benefits, well beyond this lunar cycle. Now our love life can be more interesting. This New Moon in Cancer instills a deep feeling of belonging. There is a feeling that we have to go home one more time.

It 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 most intimate feelings, acknowledging the sense of security that comes 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.

This New Moon in Cancer could mean an opportunity to restore broken connections and re-establish relationships that have been dissolved by stress or the passage of time. If someone comes back into our lives and we are not emotionally prepared to deal with it, let's listen to our instincts.


Rituals to perform with the energy of the moon.


The new moon is the right cycle to bless, perform and consecrate new talismans and amulets, and keep these on the altar charging their energy for two weeks until the full moon, to ensure that they have enough energy before being used.

This is a moon dedicated to the elemental spirits of water, those spirits and fairies that inhabit rivers, lakes, waterfalls, bodies of water, beaches, and oceans.

If you work with water-related magic, if your magical work includes the help of mermaids, undines, or other water gods and spirits, make use of blue candles and floral-scented incense to consecrate your magical work.


Seven-day magical work with Yemaya, goddess of the waters.


Yemaya is the Orisha and African goddess of salty waters, the sea, treasures, and material wealth. To get her blessing, if you are not initiated in any of the Afro-Caribbean religions, where she is usually venerated, you can perform this simple seven-day ritual to attract her blessing, which will manifest itself in economic opportunities, wealth and business.

Anoint seven blue candles with lavender or rose essential oil, I like to make drawings of moons, snails and stars on the candles, so as to "enchant" them with an extra touch, you can do this with a nail or a needle. And for the next seven days, you light a blue candle every morning until you finish with seven.

Start this ritual on the day of the new moon, or the next morning, if you wish, you can complement this simple ritual, decorating your altar or your space of power, with snails, ornaments, and ornaments with marine representations or figures of mermaids, even some White or pink roses will be welcome in this sacred space.

with love, Elo!

Nana Buruku, full moon, and lunar eclipse in Capricorn.


Full Moon / Nana Buruku

Sunday, July 5, 2020 / Full Moon in Capricorn
Penumbral lunar eclipse in Capricorn (1:52 AM)



The full moon is a time of fulfillment, culmination, and celebration of our achievements, the light of the full moon is here to appease, calm, and illuminate everything that escapes from the shadows.

This full moon of July 5, closes a cycle of manifestation that we opened six months ago with the new moon in Capricorn, this situation leads us to analyze in accurate detail, where you were six months ago, doing what, and where you visualize yourself from then until now?.

The full moon is at its climax, manifesting in our environment different ways to achieve all our goals, but also projecting externally, our fears and frustrations, it depends on you in what aspect you want to fully focus your vision, in the opportunities that are presenting, or in the obstacles that remain there, that will depend on you.

You can't appreciate the stars if there wasn't a dark night.
The same happens with your own light.

This full moon on July 5 is also a penumbral eclipse in Capricorn. As we have previously discussed, eclipses are the magical moment to meditate silently and inquire within ourselves, in order to bring the light of the eclipse to each one inside and illuminate everything that we want to eliminate, from the inside out.

That which you wish to illuminate, be it a situation, place or person, this is the time to do it, to evoke the light of the full moon and work in this situation, not from the external superficiality, but from within, from within the situation, from the root of any inconvenience around that situation.

It is time to sit down, put in writing all those obstacles that you are working on at the moment, and look for your solutions, but not easy or quick solutions, but true solutions that entail effort and good results.

Remember that this eclipse happens in the constellation of Capricorn, the sign that governs structures, order, discretion. Capricorn is not about opting for temporary solutions, it is about looking at the problem from another angle, looking to solve it from the root at all costs, trying with other points of view, studying where, when and how this “problem” originated and treating to fix the situation from there, from the root.


Trends and Benefits.


The moon in Capricorn is the right time to establish and review guidelines, documents, hierarchies, and structures. Good time to buy and build properties, focus on obstacles and problems that we have been dragging for some time, study how the home is being managed, and how to improve it.

During the transit of the moon in Capricorn, there is always a tendency to pessimism, anxiety, depression, emotional severity, self-centeredness, irritability and mistrust, beware of these aspects, if you feel this way, it is because your frequency is lower than adequate, and it is time to meditate and work from within.


Elemental magic


The full moon empowers all beings on the physical and metaphysical plane, it is time to work on our individual connection with various external worlds. Living beings reach their maximum energetic fullness with the full moon, and this allows them to manifest on the astral plane, the world of dreams, and other kingdoms. While the inhabitants of the spiritual world, use this energy to manifest or communicate, among the beings of our world.

It is a moon of the earth element, the magicians use this influential energy to work with the elemental spirits of the earth, these can vary in forms and names according to the tradition of each Country, but essentially the gnomes, the elves, the Nymphs, and in general the spirits that reside in the forests gain more strength in this cycle.


Nana Buruku.


Six months ago we began to perform a manifestation work with the new moon, under the divine guidance of Nana Buruku.

Nana Buruku (or Nanán Baruque) is a Yoruba deity and major Orisha, highly revered in Candomblé, the Haitian voodoo, and other esoteric Afro-Caribbean currents. It is the divinity of the drizzle, the mud, the swamps, and the mediator between life and death.

In Venezuela, Cuba, and Colombia, Nana is commonly associated with the cult of the moon in its different phases.

With this full moon, I would like to invite you to work on your intentions with the help of Nana, decorate a small altar or a sacred space at home or in the garden, with a small tablecloth, it can be white or blue, decorate it with candles (white, blue, pink), incense, white flowers, gold coins, fans, a glass with water and honey, a bowl with fresh fruits especially grapes and watermelon slices.

Any object or representation with the moon or with marine oysters on it will be welcome on this altar.

Nana Buruku is very attentive to the things that are asked of her, she always looks for the way to grant the wishes in an accessible way to her believers, she works from love to allow her followers to understand the lessons behind each obstacle, not from the strength, but from calm.

Write your wishes on paper and dip them in the honey water, let them rest in a bowl on this altar, after a few days collect the altar, throw the flowers and the remains of fruits in a nearby river, including the wishes for writing in this process.


Rainwater


I like working with white quartz from a very young age, and I have always sought to include it in most of my rituals, I feel that its energy is soft but powerful, subtle, adaptable, and easy to use.

Collect rainwater in a bowl or cauldron, add several small pieces of quartz to the water, and leave them there to stand for several days and nights, keep the container sealed to prevent dust particles from falling into the water.

This is an energy exchange process, the crystals and the water are exchanging energy with each other in a natural process. Make use of this consecrated water to bless and magnetize energetically, magic objects, amulets, and talismans. And make use of this quartz as amulets of protection and energy recharge.


Santa Ana


I have noticed that many of my readers identify themselves as Catholic, or are part of this faith if they wish, I invite them to work with Saint Anne, the mother of Mary and grandmother of Jesus. Santa Ana is considered in religious syncretism one of the forms of Nana Buruku or one of its manifestations (depending on the country and the religious path of each individual).

The festivities in honor of Santa occur throughout the month of July, mostly in Latin America and Europe, it is the saint of miners and pregnant women.

If for some reason you are not comfortable with the veneration of the divinity that is Nana, you can instead venerate Saint Anne. When you know where you are going, no matter what name you put on the road.
