Sun transit in sidereal Cancer:
July 17 to Aug 17, 2023
You may be a little rattled or having mood-swings. Find out why?
The Sun is the planet which symbolises confidence, authority, brilliance and willpower.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon, which governs our mind, emotions and hormones.
Positively, Cancer can be nurturing, intuitive, faithful, creative, benevolent and family-centric.
Negatively, Cancer can be erratic, depressed, selfish, needy, vengeful and over-protective.
What can we expect right now?
The Sun does things confidently. The Moon feels things deeply.
The Sun entering Moon-ruled Cancer, causes a sudden shift in our energies, which can throw us off. This transit coinciding with the New Moon, compounds the intensity of it. It can take a little time for this feeling to settle down. Settle it will, as the Sun and Moon are friendly planets.
- We can let our emotions govern our decisions.
- We care quite intensely for family and friends.
- We have an urge to reconnect with our roots.
- We may be sensitive and passive-aggressive.
- We learn to trust our gut instincts a lot more.
Try to relax and glow with the flow.
Today is also a Cancer NEW MOON in the Punarvasu Nakshatra.
This New Moon is likely to trigger some intense feelings inside us. We may feel like our life is turning, a significant chapter.
The Moon is currently placed in its own sign of Cancer, so emotions and instincts are at the forefront right now.
The Moon is in the Punarvasu Nakshatra (the 7th Constellation), which is a powerful Constellation. The word 'Punar' and 'Vasu' together in Sanskrit mean, 'becoming light all over again.' Therefore, it is also called as the 'Star of Renewal.'
Let this New Moon refresh our weary spirits and allow us to reconnect with our core self.
The ruling planet of this Nakshatra is Jupiter, representing wisdom, growth and abundance.
Let this New Moon pave the way for expansion, even as we seek known comforts.
The ruling deity of Punarvasu is Aditi, who is the Goddess of Abundance. She is believed to be unbound cosmos and the 'Mother of celestial Gods', including Lord Vishnu in his Vamana Avatar (5th dwarf-Avatar). She is also believed to be the mother of the Adityas (Aditya means Sun-God). The Sun is currently in Cancer, with the Moon.
Let this New Moon help us nurture others, while also nurturing our own infinite potential.
This Nakshatra is the Nakshatra that Lord Ram (7th Avatar of Lord Vishnu) was born under. The symbol of this Nakshatra, is a quiver of divine arrows. These arrows return to the quiver, after fulfilling their mission to destroy evil.
Let this New Moon help us fight the darkness within us and emerge into the light once again.
This is a time to deeply introspect, let go of what does not serve you and tap into what pushes you forward. Be kind to others and yourself. Trust the process, that leads to a positive transformation.
Realise. Release. Revitalise.
