New Moon in Cancer signals major changes


The Sun in Cancer continues to oppose Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in Capricorn, and as the Sun shines its bright light onto that pernicious aggregation of planets, its rays illuminate even more about the deconstruction of individual and collective systems. On July 21, a New Moon  opposes Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto bringing the energies of these powerful planets to a focus.


The sign Capricorn can be symbolically related to a rock that has formed over a long period of time. On a collective as well as individual level, the conditioning patterns and the realities it has created have crystallized to such a degree that consciousness is primarily resistant and largely impenetrable.

Change then  is a threatening prospect that Capricorn fears. This forms the root-cause behind Capricorn’s anxiousness to maintain the status quo and to resist change. Therefore, when the Capricorn archetype is animated by transit, a new level of preservation is ignited, which results in intensified action directed to re-secure control.

Self-preserving, fear-based, and resistant Capricorn is prone to the employment of lock-down remedies that will recycle and prolong struggle. The result leads to added suffering, loss, and depletion that perpetuates more “death”, rather than create fresh life.

When that which Capricorn has held in check, (i.e. that which it has regulated, contained, guarded, inhibited, suppressed, or resisted) is released, it is done with great force. Rage, anger, frustration, and aggression can heat to the boil-over point, the result of which can ignite a particularly merciless episode of man’s crimes against man, and against humanity too. Brutality, ruthlessness, violence, crime and war can run rampant in such desperate times.

The New Moon of July 21 opposite Saturn, Jupiter and Pluto will bring to our attention a variety of events all of which contain the seed of the birth of a new order. Saturn Pluto alignments represent the need for deep changes in the structure of society and how we use power. The old order is being destroyed and a new one is being  born, and that means we have to accept events that mark the birth pangs of a new era. Unfortunately, there aren’t many leaders who appear capable of handling the pressure. Most seem more interested in clinging to power for its own sake. Some are crazy enough to ignite another war, but whatever the scenario, it can only end in their destruction.

Nations whose charts that are affected by the Saturn, Jupiter, Pluto conjunction are likely to go through major upheavals. Israel [1], Saudi Arabia [2] and the US [3] are among those that come to mind.  The New Moon falls opposite the US Sibly Pluto, on the MC of Israel’s chart and the descendant of the Saudi chart.

On an individual level those who have been working to overcome their deepest weaknesses are likely to rewarded.
