Thanks Ursa, I love the moon and a strawberry one sounds lovely! 

The likelihood of this moon having any effect on my love life is probably slim unfortunately

Thanks UM - that description of the full moon is right on target for what I am dealing with right now

A little late as the New Moon was the 12th but I was on holiday so ....

==============================================

Tonight is a New Moon in the sign of Cancer. There is a wonderful sparkle to this New Moon. Something feels refreshing and even inspiring. Soak in the fabulous energy. Take time to be near water such as a stream, bath, lake, river, waterfall, rain, sea or Ocean. It is helpful to attune yourself to the Cancer water element, flow and be. this will refresh, renew, cleanse and heal you.

This New Moon speaks of new life. It encourages us to have faith in our potential alongside a deep resolve to ensure that potential is fulfilled. Just as an acorn contains the imprint of the tree it will become, so too do we contain our future selves in a form within us, waiting, slumbering, gestating, until the time is right to come forth into life and purpose.

In the darkness of this New Moon we are invited to dream our future selves into being. This is an intuitive Moon that has so much it wants to share and asks us to be ready to receive It. The Cancer New Moon reminds us that no matter how much we resist change, the fact is the change has already happened. We are already transformed, we just haven’t realised it yet, it wants us to stop striving now, to relax, be still and recognise the deep peace within, in which our potential is coming forth, it tells us there is nothing to do and nowhere to go. At this moment, right now, we have everything we need to be who we are meant to be. We are already complete.

The New Moon in Cancer is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Crab. These include honoring our deepest most irrational and intimate feelings, recognizing the sense of security and safety we need from our homes, jobs, family, partners and friends, allowing ourselves to accept support and offer support to others who need help.

This New Moon we will feel emotional, our feelings will be pulled in all directions making our heads spin, but let them come through, don't suppress them. Your feelings reveal what you truly love and value. They are your guidance system. Your passion for life is fueled by your feelings. They nourish your creative, artistic and intuitive abilities. In fact, having all the wealth in the world does not matter if you do not feel good. Your feelings count. Trust your emotional instincts on this New Moon. Tap into your deepest darkest feelings for they will reveal who you really are and what you truly want. Let the waters of Cancer wash over you and cleanse your spirit and soul.

Thanks Ursa, when is the MLC restorative moon due?

I'm guessing about the same time that  the Mid-Lifer gets whacked in the head with a 2x4... or gets run down by the Karma bus...... or goes <splat>  at the bottom on the rocks....

worth waiting for...

Nothing about the full moon yet but..... The fun will be in high gear...  We also have Mercury retrograde as of yesterday (26 July).... Yippee!

============================================

On July 27th there will be a Blood Moon, it will be the longest Blood Moon in the last century. The Moon will be red for about 1 hour 45 minutes and the whole process will take about 4 hours.

In Paganism a Blood Moon opens a gateway into the heavens as the Earth, Sun and Moon align, the earth casts it's shadow over the Moon to make it turn blood red. For a brief moment in time we can commune with the spirit world and other realms.

In Christianity Blood Moons are an omen it will be the return of their saviour Jesus Christ. The King James Bible predicts: "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day when the lord cometh and returns" [Joel 2:31]

There is belief in Jewish texts that a Blood Moon will be a sign of wrath coming upon world.

========================================================

Get ready for the Mercury Retrograde.
This is a time when Mercury seems to be spinning backwards. Mercury rules communication, technology, clear thinking, truth and travel, so when the planet goes retrograde, which means that it looks like it’s spinning backwards in the sky, all those things go backwards. They start to get weird and tangled up.

It’s like everyone you know has suddenly gone mad! You might find yourself getting into bizarre arguments about nothing at all, being unable to finish sentences or barely even able to form a coherent thought. Your computer, phone and other electronic equipment is more likely to break. You could experience travel delays too.

The retrograde will be from July 26th - August 19th. So be prepared!
