Saturn moved into Virgo on September 2, 2007 to stay for two years. When Saturn moves through an area of your chart it brings up challenges related to that sign's energy in your life. The house where Saturn transits is demanding attention, it is a contracting energy, expecting you to go inward before expanding outward.
The theme is "Get your ducks in a row and deal with this before taking on more."
The last time Saturn was in Virgo? August 1978-October 1980.
You can read more about this energy here- Saturn in Virgo and work with this via journaling and SoulCollage® process here Virgo Journal PDF.
Cancer New Moon SoulCollage® challenge:
The Moon rules Cancer, and this energy connects us to the waters of life, the waters of the Great Mother, the womb.
In the Cancer energies the challenge is to develop security by nurturing experiences for our selves rather than by clinging to or depending on the strength of others.
The glyph for Cancer is the male and female seeds f The archetype of Cancer is the Cosmic Womb in which the seeds of creativity grow and burst forth in diverse ways- biological, artistic or intuitive creativity, imaginative creativity, even business creativity.
In order to do this and be released we must first cut the umbilical cord which binds us to family karma- leaving the safe womb of the home. The connection between Cancer and water is vital. Just as the physical birth process involves the breaking of waters, so do our creative processes call for the breaking of water. Breakdown to break through.
Emotions (the water) run deep when I take a risk, step out of the boundaries created by my family and culture to create new forms. It is a scary place to be, it is the birth.
Where is Cancer in your chart? In your birth chart, the sign on your 4th House cusp shows you the way through it all. This is a sacred opportunity to meet and greet your Ancestors this month. In shamanic terms you meet up with your Loving Ancestors- who have your back in non-ordinary reality. Cancer is about "My roots".  How past and present move you into the future. Inspirations for your Cancer SoulCollage® may be related to:
I am the Great Mother. Cancer/mother archetype supports all forms of mothering- good, bad, and the ugly.
I am the One who is a HomeMaker. I create loving, safe environments at home and work for myself and others.
I am the One who Knows. I trust my instinctive knowing.
I am the Ancestor in the worlds beyond matter.
I am the One from the Sea.
I am the One who Nurtures.
I am the Moon, the tides, the feminine mystery within you and around you. "Shoot for the Moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."
