Nourish & Reborn
Happy New Moon Eclipse and really, it all comes down simple concepts such as nourishing yourself, rebirthing yourself & totally where you have 19 degrees of Cancer/Kataka in your chart. If you can’t bothered figuring that out, fret not! Just obey intuition and do it where-ever you feel most famished. Really, feed yourself and others. And no, i don’t mean naff crap.
And remember, think re what could have been ‘conceived’ back in October that is being born around about now or in the next fortnight…Concepts, relationships, fresh ways of being, new looks, heartsease…if it’s an actual baby you’re hatching, hell are you aligned with celestial energies or what? Sensational…

Happy Eclipse, happy new beginnings l!
I can totally be bothered figuring out where I have 19 degrees in Cancer but I have no idea how to do that…astro.com? If you can guide I’d be massively grateful! Thanks!
Yes, check astro.com and see which house has 19 Kataka, that should be where fresh new beginning spring up
At the risk of being totally irritating, where do I look? Under portrait (at the very bottom for all the blurb) there’s nothing that says Cancer 19 degrees (loads of other stuff, but not that). Is there somewhere you can plug that in? Sorry, not trying to be difficult!!
If you just make a ‘Short Report, Personal Portrait’ for yourself, scroll down the bottom of that page and it will tell you house positions and the degrees.
5th house for me, totally starving in that whole area. Here’s to new beginnings indeed, lord knows I need them.
Now that you know which house, try this link for a quick overview;

it is 5th house for me too. Happy new beginnings!
Quadrupled, thank you so much for that link, I had never read that page before. Her suggested scenarios are spookily accurate. Thanks again! And happy eclipse! I woke feeling great, it’s a goodie…
thanks for the link Quad!
hmmm me third house:
Axis of Perception & Expansive Growth.
yessssssssssssss please
That was such a helpful link! I have Kataka in the 10th house (of careers, as I’m sure many of us know), and just yesterday I finally muscled up the courage to ask the manager of a local vegan-friendly specialty food store if she would be willing to sell some of my jewelry there. Turns out she is a jewelry designer herself and was actually looking for other jewelry makers whose work she could sell! I plan to bring in some recent work sometime next week. I hadn’t even realized that I had kataka in the 10th, but I do believe that was the eclipse making its presence known a day early. Perhaps it was due to the small offering I left the earth the night previous. Rose petals, lavender, tea, and some fine crystals in a circle of white rocks. I know nothing of “legitimte” rituals like that, but it felt right to me. Guess it worked!
Thanks for posting that Q. Explains a lot.
Thanks Quadrupled, was wondering how to make sense of Cancer 19 deg in 12 th. Adaptation and retreat – preparing to star new job in entirely different role to what I’ve done before. Heaps to learn and do, and will need to balance the rest of my evolving world as well.
also near 5th – time to step out of the shadows & be self fulfilled!
Hooray for all of us and then some xo
Thanks for posting this. Just checked astro and it turns out I have cancer in my moon in the 7th house at 18 degrees. Would that explain why I broke up with my partner of ten years and the father of my child on Friday? Deep sigh. Rough times.
oh Lucy
blessings to you in getting through this tough time
Good luck, sweetness! It’s all for the best, life never throws anything at one that he or she cannot handle.
ooh, must also note that Leos have that pesky full moon in the 7th house in a couple of weeks. Oh well, I guess at least the cosmos is telling me loud and clear, right?
The cosmos is brilliant for that and like Lesly said life never throws you anything you can’t handle. Good luck to you sweetie and sending you lots of hugs.
I am having a phenomenal New Moon. (It’s Sunday here in the US)
I’m at 18 in my 9th/10th house. Candles, new age music in my freshly cleaned home and now off to my 2nd Yoga class of the day. Coming home to a healing bath with herbs, scents and spices, more candles, more music, a light dinner, and off to an early sleep.
Doesn’t get much better than this.
Jealous…xx
Be strong and look after yourself, Lucy the Leo. Remember there are always new experiences ahead but now is the time to nurture yourself and your child. Most of us here have been there. You are not alone. hugs.
I have nothing good in Cancer near 19. All i have at all is South Node. and October last year sucked. A relationship I thought was going somewhere dried up and died mysteriously between mid-Oct and beg-Nov. I was in the hospital during mid-Oct. I have nothing good to say about last Oct.
but what house is 19 cancer for you? x
8th house but just barely from the 7th.
Hi year of the fox – October was similar for me too – really beautiful stuff happening and then went dramatically sour – have just been re-reading it in journal – am not so good at working out where 19 kataka is … I have kataka at 18 in the 9th house?? x
*nods* It makes me mad because it seemed out of my hands and there was no explanation for any of it. No drama. Just blip. Disappear. I still have yet to figure out why the universe even bothered to introduce me to a jerk who just went off radar like that after 9 months of flirty fun bliss. It’s ok though. I met an Air-Toro who is more my speed this Apr/May. Perhaps he won’t be a huge waste of my time.
year of the fox, if the eclipse just happened in your 8th house, its all about transformation. phoenix rising and all that. it also relates to that old saying about if there are rats in the basement the universe is gonna need to demolish from the ground up.
i think good things are coming to you. churn through it…
I found myself last night being given the rough edge of my Virgo sister’s sensibilities. In the 24 years as adults she’s not gone there. Our relationship I thought has been built on mutual respect that we do things in different ways and that’s ok. Apparently that was the case up till last night. I think she may of been trying to ‘help’ me, but it felt ugly.
1. I asked for no help.
2. She kept trying to reformat my ambition into a form that fit her.
3. Actually she was very bloody critical.
4. I’d been really chipper and happy cleaning till she called.
In retrospect she is the last person in my family who has had a go at pushing the boundaries and unasked for tried to ‘fix’ me.
Apart from the fact that the sun is shining and it looks like a brilliant day and my office looks brilliant, I’m feeling a bit pissed off.
I don’t understand why family seems so bloody apt to point out my flaws seen through their eyes when I don’t do it to them. I mean really I leave it to people to work out what works for them…and give them the respect to find their own way unless they actually clearly ask me for help.
Apparently, a to me, stray comment that I am pricing a gate, and looking at building a new front fence was attacked as a delaying tactic on my part to me going overseas. To me I thought securing my house as best I can if I leave it unattended for 3 months is a responsible choice.
Good god I hate it when Virgo family members go into pick it apart mode at me.
Nat any suggestions?
Plans for the day so far is to bake for my Mum and then go to the gym.
Virgos can be so hypercritical that they annoy themselves sometimes, but they mean well.
Just say what the fuk and go on being a Leo and enjoy the sun.
you can also be really immature about it and start picking on tye Virgo sis. She’ll probably read it as love.
Darling LL, oh how i feel for you! Have been similarly attacked by one of my sisters last week… in my birthday card no less! 5 lines wishing me happy birthday with side swipe about how dedicated I am to my work. Followed by 15 lines criticising me for not participating in the family as a family member *should* and failing to meet her expectations/rules/standards etc. etc. etc. Sheesh. (she Aquarius btw).
But enough about me… Suggestions for you:
* this incident is not about you at all. Her words & actions are all about HER. She may give them your name and try to make it about you and your gate etc. but really it speaks volumes about her. You don’t have to analyse her motives or even know what they are. You do have to “leave it on the table” and not absorb it. Acknowledge her “concerns”, maybe even thank her for them, and then DETACH DETACH DETACH and carry on your merry way doing what-so-ever-you-bloody-well-like about your gate, your fences, YOUR LIFE!
* do not lose the benefits of your Dark Moon cleansing and return to nourishing and re-newing yourself and enjoying your good work. That is your choice now. Yes, by all means let off a bit of steam but don’t get stuck in analysis or ranting or otherwise continuing to stew about her. You will only hurt yourself. I know it is hard to do this when you have been attacked by a family member but you must invoke your adult self especially with these sort of things (some of my family members think they have some kind of back-stage pass of privelege into my life but they bloody well don’t!!!).
* Give responsibility to her for what is hers. Take responsibility for what is yours.
* You may if you wish, call her on her behaviour and use this incident as an example. But honestly, do you really need to? Think seriously about that. It may just add fuel to something that you have no chance of changing and prolong your anguish. Control by letting go is often a much better option. They are none the wiser but you are a lot more peaceful.
* if this is a pattern where family members cause you to feel extreme grief or anguish and you feel de-railed by it, then see your reactions as your problem and seek some help in finding new techniques to deal with them.
Good luck x
Thanks guys. I’ve not gone to the gym yet…have been making stock instead.
Thanks for your thoughts scorpiontailedtongue, olyalyalya, and nat. It’s funny I think I was a little wah about it this morning because it was a bit unexpected, and I’d sort of hoped that I may of processed it all as slept. Hah how optimistic is that?
Somewhere in chopping vegies i started to think that maybe this was about her. I do think she is extra sensitive at the moment and I get the feeling that she has been reinforcing that she is on track for herself . Somehow my responsible attitude probably grated as the most scatty blithe non-her thinking.
I’m glad to be able to acknowledge that I just feel a bit sideswiped by family members trying to impose their views on me. It doesn’t derail…does give me a slightly shuddery feeling of wtf? Talking here takes the sting out of it and helps me put it aside. Thank goodness I’ve trained them out of thinking they have a backstage all access pass to my life now. I think this has just taken me by surprise a bit. As we’ve been so deliberate in not acting like that with each other. It’s not worth discussing with her. Am detaching and concentrating on my own progression.
I am now able to see the humour in someone trying to stomp around my boundaries while discussing MY fence, and MY gate.
Nat what a shitty trojan horse of a card. I’m so sorry you copped that on your birthday…well any day, but especially your birthday….I hope otherwise things are going well for you. Belated Happy Birthday too.
you could always just stab her in the head with a nail file and scream “Exfoliate This!” … no don’t do that
Do what nat said
You were a Medici in your past life Prowin’, weren’t you?
that would be cool! way better than the Siberian prostitute assassin that some reader once told me about. Maybe I was tutored by Galileo or commissioned Michaelangelo??
ohhhh the 8th house for’me. Sun conj Merc exact 19 degrees. And Juno in Cap sitting at 19. Expect some sexy talk from me. Hehehe
Yep mine’s in the 8th too. Hey, how hot is Sophia Loren? Of course I always think of food as sexy but WOW she is incredible!
Mars in 10th House is at 19′ Kataka for me.
I’m having a great new moon too. Lots of clarity and stability in my worklife, which is allowing me to connect with old friendships and come home in my social life.
This morning I had the urge to take my djemba drum deep into the bush and play. So I did. It was wonderful.
All the lessons of the past 3 years (my Saturn return) are finally making sense and fitting into place. Is that the new moon eclipse influence? Or Saturn finally leaving Virgo (I have Saturn in Virgo)
Hey Herby! Me too, Saturn in Virgo – hell of a saturn return eh?! – the drumming in the bush sounds great, made me turn and look at my poor cello peeping out of its case – the eclipse did pop up lots of lessons for me too – but am also still feeling really close to them so can’t see them as clearly as I will say, when things move on further? ~ July 22!
FireyBovine – Oh yeah – it was hell! Hopefully my second one later in life will not be nearly as bad as this one was. However, I was very lucky to have been able to take 2 months out of my life earlier this year to go on a personal pilgrimage. I’ve been home 6 months and finally have enough distance to see things clearly.
Moi aussi! Here’s to clarity, to new beginnings and to Saturn moving right along out of Virgo!
Thank you Pip – for asking the question I was too scared to ask – how the hell do you work it all out. Thank you Quadrupled and Charley for showing how it’s done. AND the moonkissd link is incredibly accurate! It talks about no longer being able to relate to your tribe/searching for a new one – that’s me.
I have Cancer in the 5th – I’ve never been able to say that before now!
Bless xxx
Nice to know how aligned I am ……. there’s a baby due any day now !!
19 Cancer for me is in the 11th House …. can’t quite find the connection ….. a community baby perhaps ……. making my own friend ?????
Thanks to Quadrupled’s link I can see exactly what’s going on. Yes it’s the dreaded 8th house which I’ve not focused on much before as I have no planets there. I do have Juno though and she’s being lovingly conjuncted at the moment by herself
(must read that Juno link again to see what this means)
Money, possesions, intimate relations – this is all going on at the moment. The unraveling of things that no longer hold importance. Clincher time for intimate relationship (looks like partners job will take him interstate, not sure I want to go with). Yes I’m at the crossroads.
Ooo, 19 Cancer is the very last degree of my 12 – asc is 20. So a re-invention in my inner world leads to re-birth in my sense of self, perhaps?
18 degrees Kataka – 4th house – so my weekend was 18th birthday for my half sister (dads side), where Dad and I started plans to go back to NZ to celebrate his parents both turning 80 this year (and in Oct last year I took dad to Scotland – our ancestral birthplace, interesting correlation). I also found out that my step-sister (also dads side) is expecting – and that brought up some grief and pain for me as I am still single, and love seems elusive. I am also in a job that I tolerate, as I am hopign that soon I will reap some rewards and move into a more me role….. also seems so far away…. But!! I moved into my very own 2 bed flat as well, so I feel very grown up to have my own place, and for it to have a spare room!!!!!
I think that covers all facets of the 4th house.
Interesting. think I’ll go home and soothe my tired Kataka Moon self by cooking casserole and dumplings.
How EXCITING!! My best friend is due to give birth any moment now till early August – I do expect great things of her child too. His dad is an eery Aqua psychic eschewing his talent for an ordinary job and his mum is earthy multiple Virgo control freak. Sounds like a combo that might produce a lovely roaring little Tiger kitten!!
By the by, I have Mercury at 15 deg of Cancer, I had a rough week last week – I wonder what it is all about.. Thinking my way across the dark side of the moon..
This vision of Sophia is my fantasy….. Thankyou Mystic.
I meant to write this here but accidently put it in “Dark Moon Idyll?” oops. Ok this is very strange indeed! I’m not sure if this has anything to do with the eclipse but I think it may! Cancer is my moon. Today I took some time to go for a walk near the creek etc to have some time alone. This of course made me late for work so I thought I’ll just pretend my car wouldn’t start (battery’s been going for a week now anyway) and it will give me the 5 mins I need. Of course it dies completely, so I’m an hour late
the raa guy was cute though hehe. Anyway, I was thinking I have to cull the ex-turned-friend but wouldn’t it be nice if he was interested in what’s been happening in my life etc. (and of course telling me he was wrong to leave, hes been immature etc :p) Come home from work and have recieved an email asking me what’s been happening, just when I was going to cut him loose! Weird. So be careful what one wishes for I suppose. I was thinking about freedom though a lot. Everyone to be freer, get back to nature in a lot of ways. Hopefully that helps everyone.
