Coming home to the arms of the nourishing mother, the Moon merges with the Sun at 4°18 degrees of Cancer in the nakshatra of Pushya where she comes under the stoic gaze of Saturn.

Saturn, the lord of time and consequences, gifts our new Moon cycle with a state of emotional courage and emotional fortitude. Directing its energy into our heart and minds, where we can make inroads stabilising our sense of self and our actions. The tough love lesson of the new Moon is how to trust ourselves, depend on ourselves and understand ourselves in the most intimate and concrete of ways. Knowing where we stand firm, dialling into our sense of when to act and in which direction.

With five planets strong in their own signs now, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury and the Moon, their energy sources give us strength equal to the effort we make, offering us a glimpse into what is possible.

Showering the new Moon is the nakshatra Pushya, a place of success and rewards with endeavours, however it reward is conditional. You see at the heart of all water signs is Saturn and Saturn is all about putting in the effort with humility. There is no escaping Saturn and its lessons, its teaching of self knowing, locating the source of strength within you, from your toes to the tips of your hair, your entire radiant shield working for you. The dialog between the Moon and Saturn in the axis of Cancer and Capricorn is how to connect your heart and your head and allow that state of energy to flow uninterrupted.

In the year of 2020, we have all been pulled out of our shells into shared vulnerability. We are all letting go of the idea of who we were, what we wanted to do and how we wanted to live our lives, none of us are the same anymore. While some are experiencing being positively revolutionised, others are facing significant challenges, yet together we are all facing the unknown, we are all being transformed.

I send you lots of love and luck with the new Moon cycle and don't forget to practice compassion
