New Moon on 6 July - Gemini and Aquarius Find Soulmate (I)

gemini and aquarius find soulmate

During the night of this Friday to Saturday July 6, 2024, around 0 a.m (GMT)., the new moon will form in the sign of Cancer alongside the sun which has already resided there since June 21

On this occasion, a series of important events take place, namely:

• - Neptune began its retrograde march towards the sign of Pisces
• - Mercury entered the sign of Leo
• - New Moon on Saturday (to see more what New Moon means, please go here)

In the following we will analyze the effect of these events on each astrological sign

Before that, however, we must offer a general overview

Well, in the sky, it was on July 2 that Neptune (the planet of intuition, inspiration, spirituality) began its retrograde march in the sign of Pisces, where it will stay until December 7. At the same time, Mercury (the planet of communication, of exchanges) entered Leo, where it will extend there until July 26. In the sky, the planets come together to create above our heads an atmosphere conducive to the exploration of all that, in our life, certainly secures us, but also confines us, all those habits which allow us to maintain around us a reassuring framework, but which, paradoxically, distances us from life, from its unforeseen events, these meetings against a backdrop of happy synchronicities.

Mercury in Leo

Mercury in Leo offers us the strength and courage to put on the armor we need to face what scares us, to remove the social mask that makes us renounce who we are. If the energies that surround us in no way encourage us to ignore fears which, like an alarm ringing, keep us away from dangers by warning us, they rather invite us to become aware of the underlying messages that fear sends to us, of situations past that she points to and which can be at the origin of several of our mechanisms. As Communication planet, Mercury will help Gemini and Aquarius find soulmate this new moon

Neptune in Pisces

Neptune in Pisces encourages us to look at everything that exists beyond the boundaries that we have erected, it asks us with immense gentleness what we would do, spontaneously, if we were not afraid... It invites us to draw the outline of these fears, to identify them, to redefine the word “failure”, the word “success”, and finally, to observe the way in which the views of those around us could impact our decision-making.

In short, the sky for this weekend promises to be foggy, and at its center, the moon, true to itself, sublimated in Cancer, calls on us to focus all our attention on ourselves, our interior, and in this whole of things, everything that is conditioned by social norms which often differ from our deep desires, and from what we really aspire to. The moon, at home, works to create all around us a cocoon of protection which is in no way confining, which invites us not to seek security at all costs, but rather the confidence which resides in our ability to adapt. , to surf the waves of life rather than letting ourselves be overwhelmed by them.

The lunar cycle or lunation, which we call magical, can have a real impact on your mood, your body and your life as it undeniably has in the garden. During a period of 28 days, the Moon, which rotates on its axis, also oscillates around the Sun. It is therefore never lit in the same way, which is why it regularly changes shape. Full moon, new moon, waning moon, it is also sometimes gibbous… 

Growing moon effects at the moment: what does it mean?

The waxing Moon corresponds to the phase during which the angle between the Moon and the Sun increases. It begins its movement, from almost invisible at the new moon to becoming completely visible at the Full Moon. Every night, she reveals a little more of her beauty and magic. Seeing it gain visibility and witnessing the return of its strength and power can have a reassuring effect. After the darkness, a new light reappears. This emerging hope inspires us to move our intentions from the invisible world of possibility to the visible world of positive action.

How does the waxing Moon affect human beings?

The waxing Moon is a time of determination. It encourages you to make decisions and invest in implementing your best-thought-out plans in order to achieve your goals. It represents a moment when the masculine principle of drive balances the feminine principle of reflection. Now is the time to water the planted seeds to stimulate their growth. It's also the time to deeply hydrate our skin with homemade treatments... or by drinking lots of water. aging the way

How do you know if the Moon is waxing (waxing) or waning (descending) and what is the difference between the two?

Growing Moon Effects  - Aging the Way

To find out if the Moon is waxing (waxing) or waning (descending), it is possible to find out on the official sites but also to look up at the sky and decipher it yourself. In the Northern Hemisphere, the waxing moon forms an upside-down C, like a sickle. This phase of the moon goes from New Moon to Full Moon. Then, from the Full Moon to the New Moon, the Moon decreases and forms, over the days, an increasingly thin C (upright), until the last quarter of the moon.

Does the Full Moon have any effects on humans? (I)

As the full moon approaches behavior would change and our sleep would be disturbed. Does the moon really have an influence on our behavior and our body?

Does our character undergo a 29-day cycle, linked to the Full Moon and the lunar calendar? Nothing is less sure...

Moon and Earth: a story of 4.5 million years

The Moon is the only natural satellite part of our Solar system. Probably formed shortly after the creation of our planet, the Moon has a volume thirty times that of Earth. The Sun is 400 times larger than the Moon. On the other hand, the latter is located more than 384,000 km from planet Earth while the Solar star is 150 million km away. It is also because of this distance that, seen from Earth, we have the impression that these two stars are the same size when they overlap to form the total solar eclipse. The Moon has a direct influence on the Earth's gravitation. Indeed, the absence of atmosphere and magnetic field acts on oceanic and terrestrial tides. This satellite also determines the length of a day.

Quarter Moon: what are the phases of the lunar cycle?

Also, the lunar calendar would have an impact on mood, gardening, childbirth or even hair growth. This lunar calendar, available online, includes the four main phases of the Moon:

• New Moon ;
• First quarter; 
• Full moon ;
• Last quarter.

How long does the Full Moon last?

It is with the New Moon that the lunation, also called lunar month, begins. The Moon is not illuminated by the Sun, because it is positioned between it and the Earth. It is then almost invisible from our planet. After 7 days, at its first crescent, it is the first quarter of the Moon which is visible from Earth. It is increasingly illuminated by the Sun. During the Full Moon, the entire face of the Moon visible from Earth is illuminated by the Sun. When the Moon is waning, we speak of the last quarter. Only its left part is lit by the Sun.

Does the Moon affect people?

According to certain beliefs, the Moon has an impact on some of our rhythms (hair growth, the quality of our sleep, etc.). According to this theory, full moon approaches behavior, so that during each phase, this satellite would flood the Earth with a different energy. It is depending on the dates and its phases of growth and decline that certain processes could be influenced. However, science remains mixed on the effects of the moon on humans. If work has been carried out, the results are not categorical. If effects exist, they are totally different from the force of attraction exerted by the Moon and the Sun punctuating the tides. And some think that this attraction would have an action on all living (and non-living) beings on the planet.

What is the “power” of the full Moon on humans: what science says
What are the effects of the Full Moon on human behavior?

Can the Full Moon have negative effects on our behavior and promote a gloomy mood? To find out, scientists looked for statistical correlations between certain events and the nights when this star is the brightest. For example, they wanted to know if this star increased aggressive behavior. Some have looked at the number of admissions to hospital emergency rooms1 on the nights in question: apparently there is no correlation. Even if we look in detail at gunshot wounds, stabbings and homicides, the rate of the latter even tends to decrease2,3...

More fatal accidents on Full Moon evenings?

When the Moon is visible in its entirety, would there also be a greater risk of death in the event of a medical problem? American researchers looked into the question4, comparing mortality rates in intensive care units on Full Moon nights and on other days. No correlation could be observed. There would also be no increased risks of vascular and neurological disorders5. On the other hand, a Spanish study6 showed an increase in the incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding in men, without finding an explanation.

One point on which scientists seem to agree: the fact that road safety is affected during the Full Moon. The results of a Japanese study7 published in 2018 show that there are more people transported to the emergency room after a road accident in the land of the rising sun that night. Same observation from Canadian and American researchers8, who observed a 5% increase in fatal accidents among motorcyclists. In question ? Perhaps a drop in the attention of drivers, distracted by the night star...

Short stories: Influence of the Moon: truths and legends (I)

full moon and new moon influence

Humans have ended short stories up associating many properties and various powers with the Moon, but what is the part of imagination and reality in all this?

The question of lunar influences is only folklore or belief: it can in fact be studied in practice. Of course, as with any scientific test, there are a few conditions: have many subjects (not a single tree or a person), observe for a long time (one cycle is not enough), eliminate effects without a direct link (to study the influence of the full moon on car accidents, we must first remove the well-known weekly variation), use the correct ephemeris (no, we cannot decide to have a 30-day lunar phase cycle instead of 29.53 because it is easier for the calculations), do not select the data to keep just those going in the direction of the desired effect, have replication on other data or by other researchers.

That being said, let's take a look at the different areas where the Moon short stories has been incriminated.

Weather: the role of tides

Does the Moon provide information about the atmosphere? Sometimes yes. The Moon will thus appear darker during total eclipses if the Earth's atmosphere contains a lot of dust. Around new moons, the ashen light will be brighter if the side of the Earth facing our satellite has more clouds. And if you see a halo around the full moon, it's because the atmosphere has ice crystals at altitude, in clouds called cirrostratus which sometimes, but not always, precede a worsening of the weather.

Everything that has just been described is in fact linked to the atmosphere, the Moon is in no way responsible, but is there a direct effect? Forget the tradition that the new moon heralds a change in the weather (since the phase is the same for all countries on Earth, this would imply a change in weather everywhere on the same day!). On the other hand, effects, although weak, of the Moon have been noticed for the weather at the Cerro Paranal observatory and for tropical rains: they are in fact linked to oceanic or atmospheric tides.

Another lunar reputation: it causes tsunami, earthquake, or eruption. Of course, terrestrial tides (yes, it's not just the water that rises, the ground too) knead the crust of our planet, while ocean tides, by moving large quantities of water, increase or decrease the pressure on this crust.

However, it is clear that the role of the Full Moon or New Moon is not gigantic, and in fact you already know this: we do not announce a big global catastrophe, widespread eruption and global earthquake, every full moon. At worst, it's possible that tides could bring the final straw to a fault nearing change or a volcano ready to erupt.

Gardening with the Moon

At the beginning, everything is based on a simple analogy: the shape of the Moon grows between the new moon and the full moon, so our satellite favors everything that needs to grow and it is a good time to sow. As time has passed, some have modified the initial tradition and "waxing Moon" sometimes refers to a Moon located further from the celestial equator (the projection of our terrestrial equator on the celestial sphere), which causes the Moon to change its height relative to the horizon, as the Sun is higher in the sky in summer and lower in winter.

The short stories here are based on a more “gravific” conception: a Moon located closer to the zenith “pulls” the plants upwards, pushing them to develop upright. This growing moon would therefore become favorable for what grows out of the ground (corn, for example) and unfavorable for what must be buried there (carrots, for example).

Finally, for about a century, still others have combined the growth of the Moon (in one or the other meaning) with its position in the sky, a moon/astrology mixture of sorts. However, it has been known and proven for centuries: soil quality, water supply, pest control, and weather are the most important factors for any good gardener to monitor. As a leaflet from the French National Horticultural Society points out, the New Moon doesn't have much to do with it.

Determinate Location of Full Moon and New Moon

Full Moon and New Moon

The Moon is our satellite. Speakung on how to determinate location, you should know this planet rotates on itself and around our blue planet in such a way as to always show the same face to the inhabitants of the Earth: this is why we speak of the hidden face of the Moon. 

Its orbit around the Earth, the lunation, lasts approximately 29 days. During this cycle, the Moon is more or less illuminated by the Sun. It in not difficult to determinate location. Its appearance will vary: when it is Full, the Moon is visible from the Earth because it is entirely illuminated by the Sun. On the orbital plane, we observe in order the Sun, the Earth then the Moon. Conversely, the New Moon is not seen in the sky. This is why it is also called the Black Moon. On the orbital plane, we observe in order the Sun, the Moon then the Earth. The Sun then illuminates the other side of the Moon, the one it hides from Earthlings.

Everything you need to know about the lunar cycle

The lunation begins arbitrarily at the New Moon, when it is therefore not visible in the sky. Then a thin crescent takes shape, widening into a quarter... Between the quarter and the full moon, it is called gibbous. And from the Full Moon, the cycle of waning begins until the next New Moon.

1. Identify the type of moon

The fact that the moon is new or full already gives a first indication of the overall energy. 

A New Moon is always a sign of new beginnings. In other words: it drives a project, a launch that is close to our hearts, materializes an intention or an objective. 

In contrast, the Full Moon intervenes in the middle of the cycle to initiate the waning of the moon. It thus invites us to work in depth, in introspection, on a weak point and prepares for an upcoming closure. It is an energy of balance. It is therefore the best time to work on your shadows, your difficulties, what you have the most difficulty with in general.

2. Determine the astrological sign in which the moon is located

You have certainly already heard that on a certain date, it is "a New Moon in Taurus" or "a Full Moon in Scorpio". When determinate location the sign will allow you to know the theme associated with it . Indeed, depending on the sign in which the planet settles down, its effects are not the same.

Learn to identify the sign yourself:

- For the New Moon, it's very simple: it's the sign of the zodiac whose season it is on the date of the New Moon. 

Example Last New Moon was in May 7, so we can say that New Moon was in Taurus (April 22-May 21). Next New Moon will be in June 6, that means it wil be in Gemini (May, 21 - June,21)

- For the Full Moon, is a little complicated, as it is the sign opposite the sign in which it is the season. As there are 12 signs of the zodiac, there are 6 pairs of opposite signs. To identify them, simply find the 6 pairs of signs furthest apart in the year, those whose seasons are spaced 6 months apart or take the list of zodiac signs, start from a sign and count up 'to 6 to find its opposite sign. 

An example with the Full Moon of May 23: on May 23, we are in the sign of Gemini (May 21 - June 21). The opposite sign to Gemini (count 6 times) is Sagittarius. It is therefore a Full Moon in Sagittarius. .

At the time of the New Moon on May 8, at 06:22, the planetary aspects are harmonious, and a stellium is formed in Taurus: a karmic cluster formed by the White Moon, Venus, Uranus and Jupiter, along with the Moon and the Sun. These planets create a strong positive energy fund, which will be amplified by the New Moon.

New Moon Ritual: meditation and intention setting (I)

moon ritual

A symbol of renewal, the  New Moon is an ideal time to experience a moment of mindfulness before taking stock of your goals and formulating wishes. This article offers you a moon ritual idea to practice during this phase of the lunar cycle.

The Moon has always been a source of beliefs. The satellite, in constant movement, changes its appearance every day and takes approximately 28 days to complete its cycle. During this period, it evolves in the sky. 

The Moon grows until it shines during the Full Moon, then gradually disappears until the New Moon. Instant when it becomes impossible to distinguish it with the naked eye. This meeting marks the end of a lunar cycle and the beginning of a new lunation. A period of darkness and pause, the New Moon is known as a magical moment, during which it is advisable to set your intentions, write an abundance check or formulate positive affirmations. In other words, to express your wishes for the weeks to come. 

More concretely, it is a time of rest that the energies the Moon ritual offer us. They allow everyone to take stock of the month that has just passed, while starting to plan for the coming days.

New Moon Symbol

In her book Rituals to gently explore the power of your feminine, the author and life coach, Chloé Mason, returns to this phenomenon. “The New Moon is invisible because during this phase it is positioned between the Sun and the Earth. It’s a strong moment, because not being visible, its usual brightness is absent and you are plunged into a much darker night than usual.” She now shares her ritual dedicated to the New Moon to allow everyone to express their wishes as they should.

What are the benefits of the New Moon?

The New Moon is given many virtues. In the calm of this lightless night, we are given the opportunity to take care of ourselves. It is a time to rest and relax. An ideal time to do a major cleaning. If you can take the opportunity to sort through your cupboards, it is also advisable to embark on a little detox (if you feel like it, of course). If you are more into beauty, know that this is the right time to deep cleanse and unclog. To lightly moisturize. In short, let go of everything that can block us to prepare for a new cycle.

The New Moon ritual gives impetus. It's a bit like a second wind. It inspires us and invites us to take action. As a result, you can start sowing the seeds that you want to see germinate during the month, during the lunation. Some then make what we call abundance checks. Small requests or wishes sent to the Moon and which they transcribe on paper. A ritual based on the law of attraction.

Through rituals, the New Moon can contribute to the materialization of dreams. Formulate a wish, think about your goals, put your wishes down on paper... There are a whole bunch of names for the ritual of intention. Please note: writing an abundance check is a little different. See the details of the moon rituals in our next posts.

What the Full Moon Means in Astrology

In astrological terms, a Full Moon occurs when the Sun is in opposition to the Moon, which means the Sun is straight across from the Moon with the Earth in between. 

Because the Moon reflects light from the Sun, this creates the visual effect of a full Moon from our vantage. On a symbolic level, the Sun represents spirit (or insert your preferred word of choice, whether divinity or universe or fill-in-the-blank). 

The Moon represents the physical as well as the emotional body. The Full Moon is a time to be receptive, to take the light and awareness of spirit into your emotional and physical body.

The full Moon is not a moment in time or a single-day happening. It is a phase of the Moon that is active for at least three days. Letting yourself really be with the Moon during the full phase and whatever presents itself to you can become a practice of emotional mastery, especially during the lead-up to the lunar event.

Note what comes up for you in your emotional body. What is being illuminated? What behaviors or thoughts can no longer hide in the shadows? What darkness can no longer withstand the light? Specifically, what unhelpful mental patterns, self-destructive habits, or unhealthy communication styles need attention? Perhaps you can find the strength to incur change or to find help at this time. It is a continual progression.

Why each Full Moon is different

All full Moons share the attributes explained above, yet each has a different feeling. This is because each lunar cycle coexists with a different configuration of planetary forces. With each full Moon, stay mindful of the zodiac sign that is affecting the Moon, as well as the other planetary influences.

How the full Moon affects your tides…

The full Moon exerts a stronger pull on the water, causing the waves to flow higher than during any other phase of the Moon. This is a scientific fact.

Full Moon Rituals

What we must know and remember is that in the New Moon we intend and in the Full Moon, we purify. Full Moon rituals are “purification rituals”. This phenomenon is ideal for making Moon water! You can leave a container with distilled water overnight in the light of the moon and use it to wash and thus purify yourself. The Full Moon is also the ideal time to free ourselves, note what prevents us from moving forward, toxic relationships, problematic situations and “return them to the earth or burn them” explains Isabelle.

Stay mindful that every full Moon brings with it different energies. Our monthly astrological forecasts key into what is to come so you can continue to tap in and release your resistance to whatever is happening.

Why you might not sleep well before a full Moon

The Full Moon is said to have an effect on our physiological and our emotional health. During Full Moons, people have a tendency to be awakened at night, find more difficulty sleeping, and/or have heightened experiences during the dream state. There is scientific research to support the correlation between less sleep and Full Moons, although there is not a clear scientific reason as to why

The Symbolism of the New Moon

The New Moon is commonly known as a time to initiate beginnings. Something to also be mindful of is that when the new Moon occurs, it not only begins a new cycle, but also ends the previous phase. We are reminded to reflect on the cyclical nature of reality, to see that every beginnings and ends are in a constant relationships, because every beginning is an end, and every end is a beginning.

In astrology, Sun represents spirit whereas Moon represents  physical and emotional body

 What does it mean when these two conjunct? One of my teachers speaks of the New Moon as a gestation period. It is the right moment when the physical and emotional body can rest and reset in the womb of one’s spirit. No separation exists during this phase.

There is significance in any sort of conjunction, which is when separate elements join one another in order to continue on their path of perfection. The Sun and the Moon, which were recently in union during the full phase of the lunar cycle and then separated, join one another in order to continue on their path of perfection. The Sun and Moon combine and separate themselves, only to recombine in a continued and an everlasting cycle.

This is the relationship - the alchemy - between spirit and matter that can be consciously attuned to if we take heed of the magic of the New and Full Moon cycles.

From a psychological perspective, the Sun represents awareness and the expression of light that emanates from Source. The Moon represents our emotions that reflect our experience of that light. The new Moon can bring us into a careful investigation of how our emotions continue to ebb and flow within the steady light of awareness.

Why Every Next New Moon is Different

Well, \every Moon cycle is in a different sign of the zodiac, which means not only will have its own particular flavor, but it will exist somewhere different within your personal birth chart. Each iteration of the new Moon brings a specific invitation wnd energy in your life.

Why the New Moon Affects You

The Full Moon is characterized by the Sun which opposes the Moon and which illuminates "what is going or not going well" explains Zaza, in your new intention, your new start or your projects. When the New Moon increases in energetic power for 15 days, the Full Moon has its full power as soon as it opposes the Sun, on the evening of the Full Moon, then gradually descends in terms of energies, over the following 15 days.

What to Do During the New Moon

For centuries, the new Moon has been considered an ideal time for seeding things. As such, it is often talked about as the time to set intentions for the lunar cycle that is being birthed. Lesser known is the fact that in many cultures, the Moon wasn’t considered to be “new” until her light returned from the phase of observable darkness.

This by no means implies that we should discontinue setting intentions during the New Moon. However, this knowledge enables us to experience the dark phase as an invitation to feel into the cycle from a more embodied perspective.

New Moon Rituals

The New Moon is "a new beginning" and it is also an opportunity to take stock of our intentions, desires and projects. You can write them down on a sheet of paper, “fold it and keep it under our pillow,” . We can also take advantage of the New Moon to recharge our crystals in order to “launch all our projects” specifies the astrologer.

You should return to this orientation with the New Moon every month. This time is like being in the womb, the place of gestation, receiving the nourishment of being in the dark, and connecting with something more than myself in order to go on the journey of actualizing at the next Full Moon.

New Moon and Full Moon: What do they mean and What are the differences between

The Moon, as we know, impacts astrology and the zodiac signs. As the Sun, the Moon and the other planets move from sign to sign, two recurring phenomena stand out and systematically influence our mood, the vision and evolution of our projects and our intimate bonds: the New Moon and the Full Moon.

The New Moon and the Full Moon are two distinct phenomena that do not impact us in the same way. We will try in the following to reveal the differences between, how to welcome them and what rituals we can put in place during the different stages of the lunar cycle.

These two phenomena occur once a month and do not have the same impact at all. Also, to help you better accept them or get energetic benefits from them, we can each involve in very distinct rituals. 

New Moon and Full Moon: what are their differences?

In astrology, we speak of a “lunar month”. A lunar month lasts 29 days. It begins with a New Moon. When the Moon is “new,” its orbit falls directly between the Sun and the Earth. In astrological terms, this means the Moon is conjunct, or joined with, the Sun. Because the Moon reflects light from the Sun, it seems to have disappeared from our vantage at this phase of the lunar cycle.

A Full Moon, conversely, occurs when the Sun and Moon are in opposition, or straight across from one another with the Earth in between, which creates the visual effect of it being fully illuminated. Due to the obvious external expression of its energy, the full Moon receives vastly more attention, although it would be wise to cultivate a relationship with the new Moon.

The New Moon and the Full Moon are therefore two distinct phenomena. By consequence, they are very distinct implications in our lives and they can be differentlely accompanied by rituals.

If we know what a New Moon and Full Moon mean and look like and measure the influence and impact of each on our mood, we should know that the Moon's influences are powerful at other times in its cycle and not just when it is  new or full  status!

By following, I invite you to read the posts related in detail to the New Moon and the Full Moon
