 The Full Moon is Sunday, July 21 at 5:16 am in 29° Capricorn. Usually, when the Full Moon is in Capricorn we are able to use our energy in the most practical and responsible way. Capricorn cools down our emotionality and provides focus in business matters. This Full Moon is part of a configuration that includes being conjunct Pluto at 0° Aquarius. This can bring a strong urge to transform some part of your life. Take a moment of reflection to see if the change you crave takes you closer to your highest goals and dreams. If so, you'll be able to use the Capricorn earthiness to break the transformation into smaller steps so you're not turning everything in your life topsy-turvy in an instant.  This Sunday: The swamis of the Temple of Kriya Yoga are honoring our guru Goswami Kriyananda and our Kriya lineage in celebration of Guru Purnima on Sunday, July 21 at noon CDT via Zoom. We will share mantra, music, poetry, inspirational thoughts, and meditative attunement to Goswami Kriyananda and to all spiritual teachers. I will be doing a short talk on "Jupiter in Gemini: Conversations with Life Itself." You are very welcome to join us on the Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83500898237?pwd=m3zzzVxiTUAR941fBSKFMOnXl40DCb.1 Meeting ID: 835 0089 8237 Passcode: 829055

 The New Moon is on Friday, July 5, at 5:57 pm CDT in 14° Cancer. The sign Cancer relates to home and family, nurturing people, pets, and the plants in your house and garden. Designing and developing a calm, peaceful environment can be very beneficial at this New Moon. The Moon represents our emotions and in Cancer brings extra sensitivity. The Neptune stationary point of July 2nd at 29° Pisces adds to this sensitivity. We all feel extra hurt if criticized and maybe extra angry. When we get in that type of agitated state it's harder than usual to relax. Some aura cleansing like deep breathing or taking a warm shower can be helpful. Other aura cleansing can be aural - like listening to a recorded mantra. Maybe you don't need three hours of OM like this recording, but even 5 or 10 minutes can make a difference. I have a whole list of mantras I like on my playlist: Mantra, Kirtan, Chanting We have so many other techniques in our spiritual toolbox, don't we? Hatha yoga is balancing. Walking in nature, especially by water, can be very healing for the New Moon in Cancer emotional fluctuations. Online: I'm in the middle of reading Ray Grasse's latest book "So, What Am I Doing Here, Anyway?" I've been highlighting so much in the Kindle version that if this were a paper book it would be very colorful. My favorite chapters are the ones about symbolism and the ones about astrology and, of course, the ones about both. I like this quote from his book: "If science is to ever recognize the worth of astrology, it will need to do what Kepler and others like him did, which is to open their minds to the possibility of a world filled with meaning and symbolism, rather than a cosmos entirely bereft of it." If you're a fan, like me, of symbolism and synchronicity, check out this free talk Saturday, July 6 by Robert Moss via The Shift Network: https://theshiftnetwork.com/Magic-Signs-Symbols-Synchronicities I've enjoyed all Robert Moss' free talks which always include a lot of good information. The Shift Network's free talks are usually about 45 minutes plus 15 minutes giving information on an upcoming paid course.  |
