Simon Vorster & Jennifer Langstone – The Full Moon in Cancer on January 12 marked a huge shift in our emotional reality. As we venture into 2017, we are beginning to operate from a purer energetic space as we journey to the center of our individuated sense of self. The Cardinal Cross alignment involving the outer planets of Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto has reflected to us a sense of internal friction and tension, which has forced us to make changes in our lives, and to see ourselves in new and different ways, while the planetary aspect of Mercury and Uranus to the North Node helped us to bring new insights into our moment-to-moment reality.
Now, as we come (back) into alignment with the many deep layers of what it means to be human, our current evolutionary path is reshaping our sense of identity and reorienting how we see ourselves and our place in the world. With a strong theme of energetic completion, this new lunar cycle offers us the support to go deeper, and to learn the truth of what is natural and right for us as individuals, free of the limitations of the conditioned mind.
Let’s look at the evolutionary potential of yesterday’s New Moon in Aquarius, and what’s in store for the new lunar cycle it signifies.

Following the recent cycles of Venus and Mars transit through Pisces, a main theme for us has been the urge to become deeply submerged in a restful, insular way of living. This cycle of Mars and Venus in Pisces has been asking us to retreat, to find sanctuary in which we can be with our deeper feelings and explore the energy that underlies that which we do in our lives: habits, patterns, impulses etc.
