This month’s New Moon falls in the royal sign of Leo. Leo is the fiery sign that is associated with the proud, majestic lion and the heat of the summer Sun.
A New Moon occurs at the beginning of every 28-day lunar cycle when the Moon joins the Sun in one of the twelve zodiacal signs. As the start of a new cycle, a New Moon is always a symbolic time to evaluate your life goals and set new intentions in the areas of your life associated with the zodiacal sign in which the New Moon is occurring.
The zodiacal sign of Leo is the sign that encourages creative self-expression. The fire of the leonine Sun ignites passion, inspiration and the ability to single-mindedly focus on one’s goals. Leo also represents children and romance, marking a time to evaluate whether or not we are nurturing our inner child, and creating romantic moments of honoring and loving the self.
As the heart is ruled by Leo it is important during this New Moon to set intentions that honor your heart’s desires. This is important for all of us, but especially important for Leos, who can actually develop physical heart ailments when they do not follow their hearts. Spiritual masters who have obtained enlightenment, such as Sri Yogananda, tell us, “God is center everywhere, circumference nowhere.” The essence of your creative light and the ability to love yourself and others exists within the center of your heart. Find the center of your heart during this New Moon and honor your unique and special gifts. This Leo New Moon is reminding us of the many spiritual teachings emphasizing the need to move away from fear and into loving relationship with self, others and our planet.
In many ancient cultures the Sun is worshipped as the giver of life and the source of light – spiritual wisdom. In fact, the Mayans tell us that the Sun’s movement into the center of our Milky Way during “2012” will ignite a mass spiritual awakening for mankind and a spiritual rebirth for our planet. Invoke the solar energies of this leonine New Moon to guide you into your center, your heart, to further your own process of awakening.
Leo New Moon Key Words: Solar Light, Create, Inner Child, Self Love,
We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars…
the stars form a circle, and in the center we dance.
-Rumi, 13th century

Saturn will once again enter Libra on July 21, 2010 through October 5, 2012
Astrologically, Saturn is often referred to as “The Lord of Karma” or “The Great Malefic” and sometimes “The Task Master,” all of which can provoke feelings of pessimism and negativity. Rarely are Saturn’s countless hidden gifts emphasized upon first contemplating this great planet’s Astrological significations.
Saturn is the planet that represents structure, social-political systems and authority, as well as the awareness of time and karma. He is the harbinger of the blatant recognition of a long standing way of life that is no longer serving us. With Saturn’s ingress into Libra we will find ourselves investing time to restructure the area of our lives reflected by the zodiacal sign of Libra. Astrologically, Libra represents partnership, equality, beauty, the arts, harmony and balance. Saturn will bring awareness and a need for dynamic change – individually as well as collectively – to any of these Libran qualities that are in discord.
Saturn represents societal structures and governments, and while in Libra he will encourage each of us to demand fairness and justice within our political systems. On a more personal level, each one of us will be questioning our partnerships and close relationships. This is especially true for Libras because Saturn will transit directly over your Sun. If you are between the ages of 28-30 or 58-60 you are experiencing or about to experience your Saturn return, a major maturation and turning point in life.
As Saturn makes its passage through Libra, it will activate the Cardinal Cross and simultaneously highlight the U.S. Astrological chart which will undergo its own Saturn return in Libra. These two important Astrological significations will point to collective and personal lessons of responsibility and right relationship with one another and our planet. These dynamics are heralding a wake-up call of change; a change in our attitudes, our attachments and our lifestyles. Universally we are quickly approaching the “2012” climax and the end of the Mayan Calendar, referred to by Mayan Elders as the “Shift of the Ages.”
Mindful awareness is required at the onset of a significant Saturn transit and we are encouraged to use integrity in all our dealings throughout its duration. The Saturnian journey often leads us into solemn periods of reflection where we may find ourselves feeling dejected, disillusioned and thwarted to move into the future we desire. Simultaneously, Saturn can promote new career heights, responsibilites and leadership recognition. If we consciously embrace Saturn’s wise teachings we can emerge with unexpected treasures and pearls of wisdom.
Saturnian transits and aspects bring us to a crossroads and provide opportunities to hasten our evolution. They usher in a profound time period, which if embraced, can ultimately bring great wisdom, a deeper meaning to life and awareness of self, maturation, humility and freedom by releasing that which no longer serves us.

Nineteen Degrees – Fifteen Minutes of Cancer
Visible in South Pacific, Easter Island, Southern Chile & Argentina
In my most recent Astro-gram I wrote about the pair of Eclipses occurring this summer. The first, a Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn occurred on June 26th, and the second, a Solar Eclipse, will occur in Cancer on Sunday, July 11th. A Solar Eclipse can only occur during a New Moon when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun casting a shadow upon the Earth. The next total Solar Eclipse is not due to occur until November 13th, 2012.
Disruptions in the earth’s magnetic field occur during Eclipses. Therefore, regardless of where an Eclipse is visible, its influence can be felt by all of earth’s inhabitants. Because this Eclipse occurs in Cancer, those with Cancer Suns or Cancer planets in their horoscopes will feel its affects more intensely. You may recall that Cancer is a Cardinal sign, and this pair of Eclipses is especially important because they emphasize the Cardinal Cross. Ruled by the Moon, Cancer cultivates maternal and nurturing instincts with an emphasis on home, family, heritage, and country. The Moon governs large crowds, the public, women, liquids, ocean tides and bodies of water in general.

Astrologically, New Moons represent new beginnings. When a New Moon is highlighted by an Eclipse it acts in a particularly potent manner propelling us to embrace change. Eclipses work on three levels: personal, collective and ultimately, the integration of both. Where there is inner uncertainty, an Eclipse will encourage you to seek clarity. Eclipses create a temporary shadow eventually unveiling something previously hidden. Therefore, pay close attention to the revelations occurring in your life during this Eclipse.
Domestic priorities become a universal focal point under a Cancer Solar Eclipse. While keeping in mind that Eclipses occur on a global scale, the U.S. Astrological chart shows us that the U.S. is a Cancer country and this Eclipse falls at the Sun/Mercury midpoint in the U.S, chart. This means that the Cancer Eclipse is emphasizing the U.S. Cancer Sun and the planet Mercury which speaks to financial resources and security dynamics in our country. Amidst an ongoing shaky global economy, current reports indicate the 2010 U.S. housing industry is still depressed with no signs of recovery anytime soon. Additionally the fixed star Castor is exactly conjoining this Solar Eclipse and symbolizes, among many things, foreign affairs and discrace. Why do I mention this? Because it relates to the overall security of our country, which in turn, can affect our personal security.
The Gulf tragedy escalated under this current pair of Eclipses. We know that the water ways of Gaia have been jeopardized for decades and that all life forms need pure clean water to thrive. There is grave concern about how much more toxicity our oceans and water sources can endure. The shock and horror of the insurmountable and accumulating disaster in the Gulf is a wake up call for each of us to remove our heads from the proverbial sand.
Although not necessarily related to the Gulf, during this pivotal time in our history, hundreds of thousands of people worldwide are creating and joining environmental justice organizations and gathering in groups for prayer and ceremony to intend world peace and planetary healing. We only feel helpless and hopeless when we believe we are disempowered to make a difference. This current total Solar Eclipse is occurring during an important evolutionary transition for mankind and our planet. The message is loud and clear – we must protect the mother that provides for us. We are being called to embrace sustainable forms of living that do not harm Her or any of Her inhabitants before it is too late!
