This Saturday, June 28, I'll turn 77! Can't believe I've made it this far ; )- One of the privileges of having a blog is I can post what I want, and it's my birthday, so I'll party if I wanna.

New Moon in Cancer
an essay by Mike Zizis
Each New Moon — every 28 days, gives us the chance to begin again, again. Please keep it simple.
Wednesday June 25, NEW MOON 04' Cancer — 6:31pm EDT / Toronto
Attention astrologers; please relocate this new Moon to your local coordinates.
Today I am curious. Tomorrow I am brilliant. The next day I am clueless.
This is what it’s like having a moon-ruled character. A solar ruled person just gets stuff done, regardless. Get up early — write everyday in the morning for 3 hours — it ain’t me, babe.
I am dreamy, procrastinating, and romantic. My character is ruled by the moon.
“I’d jump in the Mersey, but it looks like rain.” Ringo Star — Cancer.
There is a novel written by Goethe, called The Sorrows of Young Werther. In it, Werther’s beloved woman rejects him, and he commits suicide. After reading this book many young German men took their own lives. This shocked Goethe, as he tried to create the opposite meaning.
Deserted Cities of the Heart: CREAM

The previous new Moon was in the capricious sign of Gemini. (Adjacent astrological signs have nothing in common, not even their differences with the possible exception of Capricorn and Aquarius, both are ruled by Saturn, and yes the ‘modern’ ruler of Aquarius is Yoo- RAHN — uS.) Gemini is ruled by Mercury.
The sign of Cancer is ruled by the moon.
Ancient Greek astrologers, and probably the Egyptians and the Babylonians before them, considered the sign of Cancer to represent the soul’s entrance into this world, to be born into this world. Analogous to this concept, is the idea that we are dying away from the astral world. There is said to be a lot of grieving by others upon our departure from that place.
The previous sun and its new Moon, contain metaphors of mind, and a kind of playfulness ascribed to scrabble, chess, checkers, and treating everything lightly, and often with playful and sometimes immature humor.
If the previous sign represents the capris of the mind, Cancer symbolizes the ferocious, wild, beautiful and sad emanations from the heart. There is a Gemini-esque statement that goes something like … Sincerity, that’s the thing. If you can fake that, then you’ve got it made
…
Nothing is more terrifying than re-inhabiting the deserted cities of the heart.
That is the sign of Cancer — as if we were serenaded by a lover with a mandolin under a full moon. Beautiful, sweet, sad, nurturing music that is sometimes in the shadow of simple fear, or even dread by acknowledging loss.
“From time to time
I realize
That I was sent here
To perfect All men.”
- Leonard Cohen
About a decade ago, I got a kiss from my Lover. She made funny squeaky sounds with her lips. I asked her if she kissed me with her mind or her heart. From that point on her kisses became more beautiful, and heartfelt each and every time.
“What comes from the heart, goes to the heart.” — Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
What would it be like if we sold air conditioners to others, rather than killing each other. After we kill each other to death, we have also murdered the chance to sell them anything. This is not good commerce.
During this new 28 day cycle, it is good to overcome your fears of loving this small blue miraculous planet.
