CANCER/CANCER RISING Excerpt: "Any serious ego clashes between you and another may send you into deep soul-searching... " ♈ ♉ ♊ ♋ ♌ ♍ ♎ ♏ ♐ ♑ ♒ ♓ New Moon Horoscope & Intention for Members Below: No matter how others show up for you – regardless of their status, power and ability to control worldly affairs and public achievements, under this New Moon, you may still be inclined to try to manage, control or command them to bring out the best results not just within themselves, but for you. Pluot’s involvement in this lunation rears its ugly side through power struggles, manipulative and dominant relationships, and through dependency and addictive interactions. All the intensity and symbiosis of this moment can be felt here through instances of death, isolation and alienation, especially involving those figures whose paternal influence is most significant in your life. The compulsive urge toward relationship, towards merging intensely with another person forces you to accept that unless you are whole within yourself, no true relationship is possible. Hence, a profound tranformation occurs for you through a relationship, one which takes you deep inside yourself to meet the perils and riches of understanding the deeper dynamics that come into play when you surrender yourself to being your true, unpretentious self. Any serious ego clashes between you and another may send you into deep soul-searching. This can develop into wonderful shifts in attitude, mainly around accepting true responsibility – not just playing a part or an expected role but being a balanced and mature whole being. In extreme cases, where you’re being controlling or dealing with a remorseless monster, there may be some serious dissent or a fracture in your relationship. Any union that you form generally tends to be on the basis of some desired security – the practicality of its purpose. It is not uncommon for you at this time to become obsessed with the practical advantages you stand to gain from others and discount all other values. Just know that there’s always much more to everything than what meets the eye, and if you cannot see eye to eye with others during this time, unresolved tensions will come back to haunt you. Hence, best to be prepared to meet others on terms upon which you can both agree. As such, you may have to give way to any unrealistic concerns or expectations that you place upon others, set aside your fixed and demanding views and transform relationships into a place for soul growth. Ultimately, this lunation signifies a true meeting and sharing of being, of unconditional intimacy through achieving emotional equilibrium within your relationship. New Moon Intention I will pay special attention now to my personal needs for progress and reform through acquiring dignity and significance among those in my social environment. I will stay mindful of my strong, sometimes desperate desire to claim my importance through contrast to my contemporaries. I can do this by first demonstrating to myself that I am as competent as others, not expect things to be the other way around. I acknowledge that most of the opportunities to realise my personal ambitions will arise from establishing successful contact with friends, associates and fellow workers. I must guard against any resentment toward failed attempts to create my world. I will take any disappointment as a sign that I must plan my objectives with greater consideration to the wishes of others. I will look into difficulties faced in my relationship with my parents for any determining sign of toxic behavioural patterns in my affairs with partners. I must work hard to absolve and forgive all dramas, or possibly face further bitterness and resentment. I will establish clear goals and guidelines in how I will develop my creative talents and look within myself to find the encouragement and determination I need to succeed (I cannot depend on others to motivate me). I will develop my career ambitions only through cultivating better relationships with others (including the public) by maturely initiating peaceful negotiations, acknowledging that expert counselling, legal and social services are available to me, should I need any assistance in finding solutions to more complex problems in my relationships. I have the greatest opportunity now to work at exploring myself through my partnerships with others, particularly with one significant individual. I must stay mindful not to descend unnecessarily into quarrels and petty squabbling.
