New Moon July 17 in Cancer: Love and Protection

A YouTube talk by astrologer Joni Patry about the New Moon occurring July 17 in Cancer (Nakshatra Poornavasu). Patry emphasizes themes of security, family, emotional renewal, and self-empowerment; she gives practical advice (nighttime affirmations/recordings) and situates the lunation among near-term astrological patterns (Mars–Saturn opposition, Jupiter with Rahu, stationary Saturn in Shatabishak). She also promotes her offerings (newsletter, GalacticCenter.org magazine, Shooting Stars community, and a University of Vedic Astrology semester starting July 26).

Hi, I'm Joni Petrie and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well, today I'm going to talk about the new moon that happens in cancer. This will be July 17th and this new moon is in the Nakshatra Poornavasu, which means return of the light. So before I get going here, I always want to remind everyone you can sign up for my free newsletter where you will have all of my predictions delivered to your email address.

Check that out that Shooting Stars. You can find all of that on my website, Galactic Center.org lastly, don't forget I'm starting a new semester one with the University of Vedic Astrology. And you can go to my university website. That's July 26th. Universityofvedicastrology.com so a lot's going on in July. Let's talk about this incredible new moon that happens in Cancer. Cancer is the sign that deals most with protection. And I feel like this month we're going to feel the need to be protected and with government affairs, with what's going on in the world, it's getting heated up. But I do love this new moon being in Poornovasu because it means return of the light, which essentially means it's time to renew something. And when I talk about security.
You'Re probably thinking, is my government making me secure? Or you're probably thinking, is my husband or my wife giving me a sense of security? Is my family secure? Is my life secure? Do I have enough money? All of those things are all wrapped around the sense of security.
But it always starts with you. What's within you is reflected out there. How do you find that you are secure within yourself? And that always means that you trust. Security means trusting someone or something. And you've got to trust yourself. You cannot be consumed with the fear of everything coming down and crumbling in your world, because if you believe that it could. But if you believe that you're going to stay strong, you're going to have a renewal, you're going to be a better person because of what's going on in the world, then that's exactly what will happen for you. This is truth. What we dwell on, what we think about, what we where our thoughts are all day or all night.
That's what we manifest in our world. So we've got to change those fearful thoughts. Security means feeling secure within yourself. And that's what I want you to work on. Feeling that sense that you have the power to change and make things better. Because there's so many opportunities that are coming now that will give you the ability to make things better. So now is the time. It's a time to renew, to refresh, to start over. If you've been screwing up before, so what? Start over. Today is the first day of your life and I'm telling you a new moon is exactly what it sounds like. New. It's something that's just been planted, something that's about to grow. That's going to be big, that's going to be a new beginning in your life. Every month you have that opportunity and whatever sign it's in and whatever Nakshatra it gives you those opportunities to plant that seed. Because in two weeks when the full moon comes, you'll start to see the results. Because it's blossoming and growing. It's going to a point of illumination. That's the cycle of our beautiful moon. And the moon rules the nighttime and the moon rules the time when we sleep and reflect and go within. The moon has a reflective power. It reflects the light of the sun.
This is a beautiful thing. So in our contemplative, reflective times when we sleep, here's one thing I want to tell you to do. We do. We're doing things like this all the time in shooting stars. But I'm going to give you one of the examples of what we're here to do.
Before you go to bed, you should always.
Repeat what you want to manifest the next day over and over in your mind. If you can't do this, get a recording. Mainly it could be of yourself or it could be.
Self empowerment recordings. But right when you're going to that point.
Of.
The subconscious mind before you fall asleep, that is the time when your mind is the most receptive and that is the time when you can change the recordings in your mind. Because what are the recordings in your mind based on? Your subconscious? When we sleep, we go into the subconscious mind. So falling asleep, do this, repeat over and over what you want to manifest. Because for most part you're probably worrying about what you can't fix before you fall asleep. So I'm telling you this because the new moon represents a new time. And this is reflective of our mind, our consciousness. The moon is in cancer. It rules cancer. Cancer is ruled by the moon. I mean, and so we have the sun, moon conjunction in the sign of cancer. Cancer is also the sign of family. So it's time to begin anew with issues around our family. Start over, make it a better world through making your family. You know, the family is really the unit our whole society. It's what makes our society. If the family's broken, then we have a broken society. Work on mending and healing issues with your family because it's really the most important thing. Family is everything. Family is what gives us security. And that's everything to do with the sign of cancer. Family and security.
It deals with love and protection. Cancer is a sign of the mother. And the moon is. This is the planet of the mother. Now, whether or not your mother's here or not, it deals with giving a sense of security and protection. That's what the mother gave us or was supposed to give us when we're growing up. But most, mostly that's what a mother does. It's unconditional love. And that's where you need to pick this up, pick up the pieces and be that come from a place of unconditional love. Heal the family, heal yourself. And through healing the family, you will heal yourself. Through healing yourself, you'll heal your family. It works both ways. And that in the long run, heals humanity and the planet. Isn't that what we all want? It is, whether you know it or not, we all want to heal. And you know, it's very interesting, in Vedic astrology, the fourth house is the house that the that is relative to the fourth sign, cancer. Now, the fourth house represents your mother. It represents security. It represents your home. And remember, cancer is the fourth sign and the moon is the karka of the fourth house. In other words, the indicator of the fourth house. But did you know this is so interesting that the fourth house ruling security is the house in Vedic astrology of happiness.
And if you've tried to figure that out, we can't be happy unless we feel secure, period. So security and happiness go hand in hand. Family and happiness go hand in hand. That is the root cause of the brokenness in our world. Family. It all boils down to family. And it all boils down to you. You have the ability to work on this and heal. This during this beautiful new moon sits at zero degrees of cancer. Now also right after this New Moon, we're going to have that Mars Saturn opposition. That means there's going to be some struggles. So you got to come from a place of security because the world is going to be contentious and fighting. It's just the way it is with Mars Saturn in opposition. And of course we've already had these realizations from the full moon that we just had. Now we have where we're reverting into our sense of security. And yes, there's going to be outside forces that make the world feel incredibly insecure during these times. But you got to work on you. That's what you have control and power over. And that is no matter what's going on in the world, feeling a sense of security within you. And that power is going to heal your you. And it may not happen overnight, but it will have a vibration and a reflection in the outer world. And this is what it's all about. We've come here to heal ourselves, our lives, and consequently, as that happens, it heals the world. I know I say this all the time, but this is truth. And when you start to know what I'm talking about, you'll feel what I'm talking about. Because what is the moon being in? Cancer? Feelings. The moon rules feelings and the moon rules cancer. So intense feelings over the sense of renewal and a sense that we need to feel secure. And maybe the government's not doing it, maybe our family's not doing it, maybe. But you do it for you, within you. And this is how you're going to affect.
A ripple change in the world. This is important. Now we've also got Jupiter's been. Jupiter's right there with Rahu. Between Rahu and Uranus, major changes. Saturn is stationary. It's heavy right now. Saturn is in the Nakshatra Shatabishak. Things are coming out we didn't know about healings.
What'S out there in space. It's all coming out now. And that should be a healing. To know the truth is what heals us. And I want that to be your motto. The truth heals.
And we are given an amazing amount of freedom in our lives to be able to work on ourselves. That is your true freedom. And this is the spiritual truth. So take advantage of this beautiful new moon, the seed, and plant those seeds with the sense of finding your family, your security, your love within your life. That's going to help.
Incredibly. So with that, I'll close.
