Just before this Summer Solstice 2023, there was a potent New Moon in 27 Gemini that set the stage for the summer. A pause-for-reflection is going on with Pluto back in Capricorn eroding dysfunctional systems. And, Saturn went retrograde during this Gemini Moon—a potent combination that favors backing out of supporting crazy extremes such as the LBGTQ movement. Deep unease and confusion crept into our minds as the Gemini New Moon squared Neptune in 28 Pisces. Creeping doubt about the value of extremes resonates with Pluto’s dark ability to inject truth this summer. The Gemini New Moon emphasized survival over attention-grabbing fads. The compelling push for more comfort and ease with AI/Robotics has numbed the majority of the people as they wander about lost in AI virtual rainbows. If you watch closely, many people are splitting off in a world of runaway technology as if there were no tomorrow. Everybody is facing great difficulty and confusion, yet also notice that you feel more alive in nature amidst churning weather and earth changes that mirror your disturbing thoughts within. However, you haven’t seen anything yet!
Things are going to rock when reality takes a quantum leap during the New Moon in Cancer on July 17. Pluto in late Capricorn opposes the New Moon in 25 Cancer and is squared by the lunar nodes that are moving into Aries/Libra, a karmic Grand Square. Grand Squares draw down very high dimensional forces, thus critical change will come. Neptune retrograded on June 30, thus during the Cancer New Moon we will easily commune with our souls; Goddess nurturance will flow in our hearts. However, in the collective, the USA will be in deep crisis because Pluto is edging back closer to Pluto in the 1776 USA Foundation chart. Also, Chiron retrogrades July 23 exactly on Chiron in the 1776 USA chart suggesting some kind of deep wounding. I prefer to not predict specific things, only field tendencies, but maybe the wolf in sheep’s clothing will be exposed (Biden?). In some way, many more people will see that the US is not the Global Empire. Maybe with high food prices, a rising tide will scream for a cutback in the bloated military expenditures that are bankrupting the public. Jupiter has been in Taurus since May 16, an aspect favoring economic stability, so the pressure will be intense to stanch the financial bleeding.
The Lunar Nodes show us how the past transforms current reality. I think a critical shift will come during this Cancer New Moon because the nodes move out of Taurus/Scorpio into Aries/Libra, suggesting excess materialism and ugly violence will wane. Suddenly, evolutionary personal growth in balance with the opposing forces will be the new game in town for the next 18 months. We will trust our own instincts to choose an enlightened path with retrograde Neptune and Chiron guiding us. Yet, as many people discover their inner power, dissonance in the world “out there” will be deafening. Change is never easy; awakenings unbalance and disconcert us. The level of change required for each one of us is intense; shocking events will test us to the max. But, if you shift your perspective just a little, you may recall that these events have been predicted for a long time. This is happening now because so many have lowered their resistance, and also astrology is moving into a more harmonic zone, such as the Lunar Nodes in Aries/Libra, that will encourage personal initiative and balance until January 2025.
I feel like we’ve come to a turning point—especially during the New Moon in Cancer in July—that is opening up many people to the critical danger we all are in together. You’ve experienced adrenaline flowing during crisis, even spikes in your consciousness. During this time of great evolutionary potential—Summer Solstice 2023—your body will not fail you; just surrender to the flow. If you plan to stay on this planet during the great passage—2023 to 2027—be ready to reach out to the ones you know and love, and to all other humans, animals, plants, even ETs! Take plenty of time to admire the magnificence of our planet, Gaia, as she speaks her truth through natural phenomena.
