Sun into Cancer 2011 & 2nd Anniversary Edition
Hello,
Happy Summer Solstice to you and welcome to the 2nd Anniversary edition of Elizabeth's Oracle! It has been and continues to be my privilege and pleasure to research and share the astrological happenings each month. It has also been a huge gift to see this newsletter grow and evolve and to welcome new readers. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support. While I'd love to act like a Cancer and wax nostalgic about the past two years and reminisce about that first edition (anyone remember the ten copies of "Lovescopes" I raffled off to new subscribers?), the reactivation of that powerful Grand Cardinal Cross tells me that I need to remain firmly in 2011.
In addition to this month's feature article about the upcoming Cancer cycle, more information about this Cardinal water sign will be available today on a very special edition of "Simple Tales." I will be the guest host for vacationing C.A. Brooks, and Cancer natives Reverend Keith Ruback, psychic Jamie Dawn and Hay House Radio Producer Diane Ray will be visiting as part of a Cancer Confab. We'll be talking moods, diets, stomach ailments, hoarding and all things Crabby, or not! Vedic astrologer Mo Abelbaki will also be making a guest appearance for a segment on the Nodes. They play a huge role in our charts and he will be explaining their significance. It all starts at 11:00 A.M. PST today and I warmly welcome you to join us. There just might be some 2nd Anniversary Edition prizes in the 12Radio chat room during the show!
Also on the cyber airwaves this week, the latest edition of the Hay House Book Club will air on Friday, the 24th, at 11:00 A.M. PST on Hay House Radio. Former Oprah protege Iyanla Vanzant will be talking about her book "Peace From Broken Pieces" with host Diane Ray, Hay House bloggers and me. Her story of loss, failure and rebuilding is a powerful, courageous and honestly told one. Please listen in on Friday and join us anytime at the Facebook fan page.
Sun into Cancer: Expressions of Love & Vulnerability
As revolutionary 2011 reaches its midpoint, the intuitive, nurturing and initiating energies of Cancer arrive. Knowing what we want to overthrow is easy. Knowing what we want to replace it with is somewhat more challenging. And building the new utopia? Well, that is another matter entirely. Powerhouse planets Saturn, Pluto and Uranus are already traveling in close degree to one another and occupying three of astrology's four instigating or Cardinal signs, Libra, Capricorn and Aries. The Sun's entrance into Cancer at 10:17 A.M. PST on June 21st completes the set and reactivates a Grand Cardinal Cross. July 1st's new moon eclipse in sensitive Cancer, as well as Mercury and Venus Cancer transits, underscore this cycle's theme of releasing the past to birth the new.
The Sun's movement into Cancer transforms the current T-Square the outer planets are forming into a Grand Cardinal Cross. Mercury strengthens the Cancer aspect of the Cross as it travels through the sign of the Crab until July 1st. Venus then takes up the cause on July 3rd when she enters Cancer. Encompassing all four of astrology's elements, water, air, earth and fire, a Grand Cardinal Cross positions at least one major force (planet) at each of the four initiating points of astrology's wheel. These energies signal and support new beginnings. The angles created between the planets however, form squares and oppositions. These aspects bring up conflicting issues in need of resolution. In an atmosphere of what astrologer Stephanie Austin describes as "change or be changed," here are some hot spots to be mindful of. On June 26th the Sun squares radical Uranus, on the 27th it opposes destructive Pluto and on July 2nd it squares unyielding Saturn.
July 1, 2011
Cancer's psychic prowess, maternal instinct and inner drive are some of this sign's most valuable resources. Its motive after all is to create and foster emotional security. In 2011 however, if we are intent on birthing something truly transformational, we will need to access one of protective Cancer's most guarded traits, her vulnerability. In part that means getting in touch with our emotional bodies. From the impact of a Tsunami, to the devastation wrought by flooding, to the ability of even calm water to eventually erode solid rock, the power of water is indisputable. Symbolized by that element, our feelings carry a similar force. Whether expressed or repressed, their magnitude shapes our lives profoundly and in ways that we rarely stop to examine. The new moon solar eclipse of July 1st gives us a sweet opportunity to connect with the emotions driving our actions and consequently writing our stories. Even the unpleasant ones are messengers. When fully embraced, they will serve as a fine-tuned navigation system for those new realities we are birthing. Later that day, Mercury will enter Lion-hearted Leo where, due to an August retrograde, he will be active until September 8th. A new moon eclipse with this Cancer-Leo combination is a cosmic invitation to begin living with less fear and more courage.
Be
sure to join Elizabeth and astrologer CA Brooks every 3rd Tuesday of
the month on "Simple Tales" at 11 A.M. PST on 12Radio.com. Thank you
for listening!!!!
More moments of sublime clarity about how to build those new paradigms arrive on June 22nd when the Sun trines dreamy Neptune, July 7th when expansive Jupiter trines Pluto and during the July 15th full moon in constructive Capricorn. Under these conditions, Cancer's intrinsic beauty and power are like cascading moonlight pouring onto a glass ocean. Wordless, their effusive lunar magic speaks to the deepest corners of our being. Under their luminous influence, hoarding Cancer freely surrenders old resentments, hurt feelings and perceived slights to the past. Unlocked, the Crab's hardened shell retracts. Our crusty little creature bravely ventures into the unknown, fully exposed and completely vulnerable to life's softness, poetry and romance. So while this cycle's Grand Cardinal Cross is certain to bring discordant issues and messy feelings to the stormy surface at times, the mantras "It is safe to feel" and "It is safe to love" echo in the heart's chambers.
Subscriber-Only Cosmic Note
One theme that has clearly emerged in readings lately is that of old issues coming to the fore for final resolution. The July 1st new moon and eclipse certainly signify the onset of a new era. Before making any new start, some clearing out of old energies is always a good idea. Sometimes metaphysical practitioners come up with very elaborate systems and rituals. For this occasion, I recommend working with the basics, like taking a sea salt bath, using lavender oil in a defuser and burning sage. What is important is your intention to release the past. These tools will also help you maintain a clean and bright auric field as the energies of change come through.
Thank you! I hope that you have enjoyed this edition, that you will be part of some of the upcoming radio shows and that your summer is fantastic! Thank you as always for your subscription!
With love,
Elizabeth

You have been forgiven. Through the beauty of flowers, your Angels are gently communicating powerful messages of release from the past to you. Each time you see a flower or group of flowers, pause.

Forgive and accept yourself, and then thank the flowers and Angels for their love.

Six 90-minute lectures presented by six gifted teachers for six special weeks? How great is that? Last week author Denise Linn kicked off the Metaphysical Arts Online Intensive series with a wonderful class on the charkas, and on Wednesday (the 22nd) "Lovescopes" author Mark Husson will be talking about those Nodes. They truly are huge indicators of our life lessons and purpose. Find out why they are so important and how they work in your chart. Also, do not worry about it already being week two of this series. When you sign up, you get access to all six lessons.
I'll be there!

Ok, this guy is a Capricorn, but his story strikes those emotional Cancer chords and covers those familial themes. You may remember Charles Nelson Reilly from 70's television game and talk shows. But that isn't necessary to appreciate his one-man autobiographical play, "The Life of Reilly." From the Bronx, to Broadway and ultimately to Hollywood, Reilly takes us on a touching journey through his challenging and charmed life. What emerges from his funny, honest and moving tale is perspective. Entertaining and insightful, "The Life of Reilly" is well worth a viewing. Btw, he's not dead yet!
