The 6/22 Cancer New Moon

This upcoming Full Moon in Cancer is a sort of stress test regarding the most personal aspects of our lives. If someone's not getting their needs met, the underlying tension may surface now- while power/disempowerment issues become more acute too. The New Moon-Pluto opposition will amplify emotional intensity, and also geocosmic stress- especially with the Moon at perigee(closest to the earth).

The Cancer New Moon occurs less then 48 hours after the Summer Solstice, and thus heralds the birth of a season where the Sun is at it's highest in the northern hemisphere.

Since the New Moon conjoins both the U.S.(7/4/1776) Venus and Obama's natal Venus, the current financial crisis is further highlighted, along with it's impact on collective values. Moreover, as the Sun is a symbol of leaders in mundane astrology, the annual Sun-Pluto opposition suggests a stressful few days for rulers already facing threats, and/or those fighting for their political(or mortal) lives. Power struggles tend to take center stage.

The geographic longitudes occupied by the city of Kabul, Afghanistan, and Phoenix, Arizona, are possible flash-points for this New Moon's extreme potency.
