The New Moon graciously provides us with a long-needed respite from working the plan. Ordinarily, we would provide a candle ritual to get some magic going, but this time we are going to respect the energy and let it be. Why? Simply put, this New Moon opposes Saturn in Capricorn.
We have a powerful solar eclipse in the sign of Cancer and a New Moon in Cancer and it’s Father’s day! Ordinarily, the New Moon is a great time to begin new things, but, during a solar eclipse, it is not recommended. However, it is a good time to connect with spirit and meditate because this sign helps us deepen our sensitivity to the other side.
Our New Moon is visiting the sign of Gemini on May 22, 2020. The energy is all about starting something new or going to the next step, but we may find our minds flitting from one subject to another. It’s ok, this is the influence of a Gemini New Moon in action.
Our Full Moon is visiting the sign of Scorpio on May 7, 2020. This moon phase asks us to wrap things up and let the pain not only teach us but transform us. Scorpio energy sets the stage for lasting change because we have changed.
Cancer is the sign of nurturing, protecting and sustaining. This is exactly what we need when we are faced with a life change. It doesn’t matter if it was planned or completely unexpected, we all have our feelings about change. Like the crab, seek shelter when you’ve become overwhelmed with all the new information and feelings bombarding you.
Transition is the process in which something changes from one state to another. Our state of being is transitory. Rarely are we completely stagnant. Something about us is always in process. It could be as deep as a change of mind or as superficial as a change of clothes.
The Scorpion Moon will show us how it’s done when it comes to being an empowered individual. No other zodiac sign goes more deeply in the psyche and roots around in the back of the Akashic closets than this one. Because of the influence of Scorpio on the full moon we will not become empowered because we’re smarter, or prettier or wealthier.
I’m of two minds when it comes to talking about personal power. That’s what happens during a new moon in Gemini. We get an opportunity to look at both sides of the coin and compare the two perspectives. I caution you to be careful and don’t get tricked into undoing something beautiful.
Counteracting feelings of being overwhelmed with a Taurus new moon is an exercise in adoring everything about being alive on such a beautiful and bountiful planet. It’s about reveling in the pleasures of life and all the comfort and beauty available for us by relaxing into the idea that this can come easy.
