The New Moon on July 26 2014 falls on the star in the front paw of the great bear Ursa Major. The star is called Talitha, which means “daughter of the assembly”. It is associated with a bible story where Jesus is called to revive a dying girl. Jesus says “Talitha arise”,
"They came to
the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus saw a commotion, people
weeping and wailing loudly. And when he
had entered, he said to them, 'Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The
child is not dead but sleeping.' And they
laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the child’s father and
mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. Taking the
child by the hand, He said to her, "Talitha kum!" (which translated
means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!"). And
immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of
age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement."
This star can bring healing and compassion
along with Ursa Minor’s other protective, nurturing traits... However, this Moon could make
us overly defensive and stubborn. If threatened, the influence of Cancer’s shell
can harden into Saturn armor. This is when the famous Leo pride intensifies
their resolve never to show their soft, vulnerable core. We could be setting
intentions with this moon to toughen up, if we have been hurt by that raptor full
moon two weeks ago... So even though this
is a brand-new Moon cycle, it still feels a bit like we are tying loose ends
from the previous moon. We are also reawakening a few issues from the earlier
on in the year. At this time we will feel very much in limbo, about to
arise as Talitha, but a little half baked!
What the Leo Moon is in direct conjunction with, is the god of all
gods, Jupiter! Combine Zeus with the Lion King and you get someone who relishes
power and is very happy to give orders. Of course they will be accused of being
bossy, but at the same time they will look after you. Jupiter, lions and a big
bear paw all suggest fierce protection. Seek the balance being protective
without being stifling. Be willing to let go of the leading rein and even take
off the harness. Combined with the “Talitha arise” thing and I
get the impression of the Frankenstein monster. But no! Let’s hope the risen
being or project looks rather more aesthetically pleasing. With this Moon I
think it will be essential to debate into the small hours. The topic needs
churning over from every angle before it can arise. This is a New Moon of very
heated discussions and it’s important to hang in there and not rush out a new
plan or product in haste. Otherwise it really could look like a patched up Frankenstein.
It’s important to let those Franken scars heal good and proper, then get the
timing right for when you need to let go of your “baby”, literally or figuratively. The house this New
Moon falls in, will give you a clue in what area of life you need to carefully
incubate something or someone
