The July New Moon Over the Southland
By Johnny Mirehiel
The astrological chart for this month’s New Moon sets the stage for the types of events and circumstances we might expect to encounter here in California’s Southland.
Here is the chart of that moment for this month:
There are many things going on in this particular New Moon Chart which casts its shadow over this coming lunar month. To begin with, we have a 29° New Moon, in itself a rare occurrence. As it is with all 29° placements, it is considered to be at a critical degree as it is one leg of the bridge between two signs. And like all the rest, this one also indicates the end of an old cycle. Now, add in the dynamic of a Total Solar Eclipse at the same moment (which some astrologers consider to be 10 times more powerful than a normal New Moon), and we have the makings of a tumultuous month ahead. And while I don’t want to seem to be piling on here, I must also add that this Solar Eclipse is the longest one in this entire century. Ya think that someone trying to tell us something?
Eclipses bring changes, both good and bad. Solar eclipses are usually associated with new beginnings, but here at 29° Cancer, it marks the end of something to which one has become emotionally attached. The key here is to understand, intellectually at least, that this “end of something” is a prerequisite for a new beginning to take place. The emotional attachment part probably is more difficult to let go of, but hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Let go of your Cancer insecurities. As the natural ruler of the Fourth House, Cancer relates to the very bottom of things, to the “root of the root” of oneself. If you really want to change something, ya gotta get to the bottom of things, scope it out, scoop out the decay and plant the seeds of something new.
Remember, in a solar eclipse, it's the light of the Sun that is shut down, meaning that the “will/ego/force” that He represents is “on hold,” even if for just this moment. And while the Sun’s light is blocked, the Moon also does not shine because She has her back to the Sun and so is in no position to reflect its light to us. Consequently the needs/emotions/mentality that the Moon represents also does not shine. In other words, it’s like a “Null” moment, in which the conflict between the archetypal Masculine (Sun) and Feminine (Moon) is quited. In that moment of truce (Truth), a way may be seen to reconcile these two basic forces.
This is an opportunity to look at things related to the house where the New Moon Solar Eclipse falls. Surely we can expect some fireworks, especially anywhere along the eclipse’s path through India, Tibet, Southern China, Shanghai and just south of Japan, as well as in our own world of relationships. In our chart for the Southland, this NMSE is in the Seventh House of relationships.
Here in the Southland, we can expect to see the end of the unraveling of worn out relationships that have been, more or less, hanging by the proverbial thread. At the very least, let’s be willing to review the circumstances of those “care-taking” relationships in life that always seem to require more effort than they are worth. This New Moon Solar Eclipse can allow us to lovingly release the past and throw open the "doors of perception" so that we may breathe the clean, fresh air of the possible. The decks are cleared for your next adventure in Partner Land, with that loving partner that you now have, that new person who fits your partnership bill to a T, or even (and this is really neat) with a new, emergent YOU.
Before we leave this 29th degree stuff, I should mention the rather curious Sabian Symbol that is associated with it: A Daughter of the American Revolution. My dear friend and the world’s most widely respected authority on the Sabians, Lynda Hill, suggests that it is “… an image of someone who stands for and is a product of change … [of] … bringing new ways into the world.” This symbol only serves to reinforce a level of change mentioned above. Perhaps the best suggestion that Lynda has for this degree is a quote taken from “A Course in Miracles:” Seek not to change the world but choose to change your mind about the world. Embracing that attitude during this month, with it emphasis on a break from business as usual in our relationships seems the wisest course.
