CANCER New Moon + CAPRICORN Full Moon 2016: Silvia's Moonthly Reading (Example for you to work y
Let's start by bringing to mind the key themes for the astrological sign Cancer, related to the Great Mother:
Family, nurturing, emotional safety, the Home, the Ancestors and all things related to our Inheritance from them, including DNA and Karma; as well as all that is Maternal, and of course the Womb and Breasts as the sources of of Life and Nourishment; including the healing of the Inner Child; and with the Moon being 'ruler' of this sign, we also add the quintessential archetype of THE Divine Feminine into this powerful Cauldron from which can all draw spiritual sustenance and psychic healing.
From this, I combined the general monthly theme, with the fact that I'm currently facing some Womb Space issues in my body, and looking at my natal chart, find that the New & Full Moons will be activating my 7th house + 8th/2nd house axis, and invite my natal Jupiter in Cancer into co-creation this lunar moonth. For this lunar moonth, therefore, my personal intention is to more deeply reconnect with the healing of my Womb Space, by calling in the Divine Feminine Essence being the Great Mother.
First, review the following 'cheat sheet' of my Moon~Coaching™ 8-Step-Creational-Cycle, which relates each of the main 8 lunar phases to a particular step or activity to be taken over the course of the entire lunar moonth. The basic format for working with the lunar phases is:
Now familiarized with the above 8 steps, let us proceed to the reading:

On this blog post, given the depth into which the reading took me, I will only write about the New and Full Moon cards that I pulled for myself. I will add blog entries for each of the phases as we reach those phase dates. This will also give you a very good idea of just how powerful a 2-card focused reading can be, when you are truly connected with your Intention. I've got enough information to get me going through the moonth with just the 2 cards for new & full phases.But as I believe strongly in the intermediate steps, I've still pulled the other 6 cards, plus a Guardian card, to zero in on the lunar cycles.
NOTE: The pictures show the Tarot or Oracle card for each phase, alongside my own Moon~Coaching™ Lunar Journey Meditation Cards. These are self-published, and available
by contacting me directly, should you be interested.
Card 1
New Phase:
Neith, the Egyptian Goddess who gave birth to the Sun, inspires me at the new Phase, with the power of creativity and passion. In essence, as the Queen of Wands (from Tarot of the Sacred Feminine), I am taking up my bow and arrows, and applying my all to Singular Intention and Committed Focus during this Lunar Moonth. This is a fiery card, and the red of her dress and headgear remind me of the Red Menstrual Flow, the Creative Life Force Energy that is such an important Archetype connected to the Womb of All Life. It is the Blood of Creation, of Life itself, and within it is the Gold of the Divine nature, as the Sun itself is the symbol of Pure Energy and Vitality. Since my intention this moonth is to heal my WombSpace, this feels very healing, as f to say, focus on the revitalizing of your Power Center...Note how Queen Neith is holding her left hand over her Womb area, and directing her Arrow from this very place of Creation...confirmation that focusing on this area for me will in fact bring forth new Life...and since I'm in my late 40's, this Creation is related to Creative Children, instead of physical children (I'm quite happy with my one & only Sunny Sun Son, Sebastian).
She also speaks of GESTATION (since the new phase is the seeding of an idea; and Cancer is the Womb and Mother archetypes; and Queen of Wands is focusing on the womb area in this card), so this lunar moonth is actually the Gestation of a longer Lunar Journey for me - perhaps the first moonth in a larger cycle of healing time. The healing may not happen overnight...after all my first Moon came to me when i was 9 years old...it's been 40 years now, therefore, this is part of a great healing, and therefore will take some overfull introspective work, as well as effective physical clearing work.
For over 2 years I've been suffering with hormonal issues, and was diagnosed with uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, polyps, menoraghia, and a host of other womb-related health challenges. It's been getting worse, but I refuse to have a hysterectomy nor allow a knife inside of me. I choose to heal naturally at a physical level, and spiritually on the causative level.
Like the fiery Queen of Wands, I must be courageous and strong as I face my later years - is the Solar Disc setting, or Rising? Perhaps setting on my 1st half of Life, the creative child-bearing years, and Rising for my Crone years ahead, ready to gestate spiritual children, born of a different kind of creative Force. It dawns on me, that just last Full Moon in Sagittarius landed smack dab on my natal Moon, conjunct my Ascendant...and that's when I first committed to my Womb Space Healing Journey, but this Cancer lunar moonth is when I'm more fully embodying that commitment. I bought the necessary (womb-healing) books on the Sagittarius Full Moon 2 weeks ago, but I began the active spiritual and physical healing on this Cancer New Moon. I would say this will be a 9-moonth Journey for me, and one that will take me to Spring Re-Birthing at the Aries Lunar Moonth and Spring Equinox...the GrandMama of All New Beginnings! I actually, signed up for a 9-moonth womens womb healing events , which I hope will be a support system while I journey. here are some of the Tools and Teachers that directly or indirectly, I will be calling on as Allies in the next 9 Moonth for my Womb Healing:
Reviewing my New Moon Card, along side the 1st step questions from my Moon~Coaching™ Lunar Journey Meditation Cards, I answer the prompts: I am my own Seed. I dream a dream of a re-birthed Silvia Magdalena Pancaro, as Queen of Wands, modeling the Egyptian Queen Neith, strong, passionate, independent, ALIVE and vitalized by the Fire of the Sun - RA;
I create myself anew, and heal my physical and spiritual WombSpace, as Temple of Life. Years ago 2007, during a week-long empowerment seminar with Padma Aon Prakash, I gave my Womb a name, or rather SHE reminded me of who SHE was/Is: Cradle of Life! She not only held my Son Sebastian, but also as an extension of the Great Cosmic Womb of the Great Mother, now gestates and nurtures ME, until I am ready to be re-birthed in 9 moons.
To answer the question on my meditation card: What would you like to create? ME!
I Am Daughter of Magdalena Del Valle Fuste and Osvaldo Ruben Pancaro, Granddaughter of Carmen Garcia & Roberto Fuste and Maria Cozzetto & Angel Pancaro; I am gestating within the Womb of the Great Mother, to be re-made in the image and likeness of HER Divinity. I have been Lunar Priestess for many years (see www.LunarPriestess.com) but now it's time to embody the Soular Priestess - or what I am calling/intuiting as an Alchemical Union of the Sun/Solar Light Frequency (as Divine Masculine), with the Soul as Divine Feminine Essence represented by the Moon/Lunar Womb. Therefore not Solar, but Soular. Ah yes, www.SoularPriestEss.com is gestating...
Card 5
Full Phase:
The 8 of Vessels, named Rebirth in this deck (Wildwood Tarot), becomes my focal point for the Full Moon phase. What Seed I planted at the New phase, I manifest in 2 weeks at Full. What I see here in this image is a large Sacred Cauldron hanging from a Sacred Tree (my Ancestral Tree of Life). It is fed by 3 smaller vessels, and likewise it feeds 4 smaller vessels below it. In turn all this 'water' from
Above, is falling gently into the River of Life beneath it. This water nourishes the Earth, as much as the Earth creates a support system for the water by virtue of the rocks and boulders that give form to the banks of this great river. Of the 4 Elements, 2 are Masculine/Yang and 2 are Feminine/Yin. Water and Earth at the Feminine elements, and these are the focal points of this card. Technically, this cards of the minor Arcana belongs to the Suite of Water...but between the water and the tree and rocks, we are definitely in the domain once again of the Divine Feminine. This cards 'feels' nurturing, healing, loving, embracing, safe, Sacred...it feels as if the GrandMothers are Present at the Full Phase (at 28 Capricorn on July 13), to ensure that I personally honor The Ones That Came Before Me, as well as honoring Those Who Will Come After Me...the Past and Present in my Matrilineal Lineage - to celebrate and illuminate the Women of my Tribe, for all the Light and Shadow each has brought into Life. I have felt that as I heal my own WombSpace, I heal that of my Mother's, of my Aunt, of my GrandMother, of my Great-GrandMothers, and so on...and actually not just my Mom's side of the Family, but also that of my Father's lineage, because after all, I am also a Child of the Pancaro Bloodline, and it was my Paternal GrandMother who was a Very Important Person in my Life, playing an important role that cannot be denied, and actually needs healing, too.
Yes, the Full Phase focus for me requests that I include ALL the Women Tribe of my Family, during my Womb healing journey. In fact, I will hold them in Heart & Womb as I work, clear, heal, forgive, and release the old toxic blood that has weakened all of us. Only in doing the releasing can I become strong enough to embody Queen Neith, the Queen of Wands of the New Phase, and then truly birth myself as Soular PriestEss in 9 Moonths. I have to come to peace with the painful fact that I have no Daughters. Even as I write these Words, my Heart aches and breaks for this fact, and my Tears wash over my face, stinging profoundly. Though I adore my Sunny Sun Son Sebastian, there are things that only a Mother-Daughter bond can accomplish, and this is something that I must grieve. As I must also grieve, after nearly 3 years, my Mother's Death. At this point, I can barely type from the powerful Emotion that overcomes me. I understand that my New Moon Intention as to Birth mySelf anew, must also and first include the 8 of Vessels' lesson - the grieving and releasing of Ancient Emotional Patterns of Feminine Loss - all that my Mother suffered in her Life - all that my GrandMothers suffered - my Great-GrandMothers - the pain my Aunt still feels - the untimely Death of many born and unborn Children for various reasons, to all the Women-folk of my Tribe. And grieve and let go of my own Suffering - and regrets of all that was not made manifest, especially not having had a Girl child, when I could have...yes, the lesson of this card is profound by any standards, but when put together with the meaning of the Capricorn/Cancer Full phase, in light of my own Life and my own Astrological chart, it becomes a potent Ally, a healing balm, and a Prime Focus for Queen Neith to consider as she/I take up our Bow and Arrow....
In order to be able to fill myself anew, first I must empty. In the program I designed called Path of the Lunar PriestEss, during the very first weekend meeting, we all 'break our vessel' in order to allow Spirit to remake it - remake us - before stepping into our new skin, as new vessels. For this reason alone, this card speaks volumes to my Soul...reminding me, that I've come to a point of absolute Humility - that at the Capricorn/Cancer full moon, the greatest Revelation will be my empty, naked Self...Carrier of the Divine Feminine for my Lineage...and that if I am to truly embody the Goddess in my own unique form, then first I am to release all my emotional attachments and karmic baggage...perhaps then, at the Full Phase, my surrender to The Great Mother should not only be metaphorical and spiritual, but also physical in a ceremonial setting...a Ritual of Surrender, of my Womb, as I've carried it for 49 years, in preparation for my Cronehood, and therefore the new way of being a Vessel for the Divine Feminine. It's too soon to plan my Ceremony yet, but I trust over the course of the next 2 weeks, as the Moon waxes from New to Full, She will reveal what I am to do. And in Humility, I will.
Putting now the Full Moon card, 8 of Vessels, alongside my Moon~Coaching Lunar Journey Meditation Card, I answer to the prompts: I manifest a healing release of all the pain the Women of my Lineage have suffered, or caused. I become Illuminated as an Empty Vessel, ready to be made Whole, New and Full again by Spirit's Love and Grace. I will honor also the Divine Masculine, my Father, GrandFathers, Great-GrandFathers, Brothers, Son, Husband - knowing that as we the Carriers of the Feminine WombSpace - Cradles of Life - heal ourSelves, we also heal the Men, and help raise them to their True Nature, representatives of The Great Spirit who hold the Sparks of Life within themSelves. Yes, I plan to celebrate my success, in Humility and Grace, at the Full Phase.
And putting the 2 cards side by side, to notate how they relate - the New Moon/Intention/Seed + the Full Moon/Manifestation/Realization:
Card 9
My Guardian
of the Moonth:
And perhaps it is appropriate to share the extra card - the 9th - that represents my Guardian for this Lunar cycle: She is the Fairy Queen - Zero (called The Fool in traditional decks), 'Flying Into Spring' according the the Triple Goddess Tarot.
Again, here I find another Goddess dressed in bright blood red robes and beautiful heart-shaped tulips in the same blood red colour. I feel loved, supported and witnessed by my SiStars above and below. Because this is technically The Fool card, it's saying the I have a Heavenly and Royal Court of Fools watching over y new Initiatory Path. The book for this deck says something that is profoundly meaningful to me: "This is the time to break free. Your interior alchemy is in the process of profound transmutation. Be responsible and do no harm, while simultaneously meeting the void of the unknown with an open heart and wing. Flight awaits you." Indeed, my 'interior alchemy' at a very physical level is undergoing massive change...I never thought that the 'changes' from Maiden to Mother to Crone could be so profoundly varied and at times excruciatingly challenging to daily living! I won't go into details regarding what my Body Temple is undergoing, but yes, Interior Alchemy is appropriate terminology! The book continues, in describing The Fairy Queen (which I am acknowledging as my Guide this moonth): "In the Triple Goddess Tarot, the Fool archetypes is connected to the Fairy Queen who is known throughout Celtic lore as 'the One Who Blesses.' The fairies were known to be the 'MOTHERS' of the unseen and magical realms....Medieval sources indicate that fairies were real women, of ordinary size with supernatural knowledge and power...." Yes, I feel the Fairy Queen very present with me, and I also am going to reach out to the 'human variety of women fairies, in the Womb support group that I just signed up for.
I think that about covers it for now. I will continue with the Crescent phase on July 7. Here is a schedule of the lunar phases for this lunar moonth, should you wish to add it to your calendar:

For additional depth to my Moon~Coaching Lunar Journey, I overlay the New & Full charts onto my own Astrological Chart:
I see that the Queen of Wands/Creative Power of Nature, activates my natal 7th house of Sacred relationships.
My primary interpretation is that I can rely on my Beloved, Marcus Geier, to support me on this Sacred Journey. I can literally bare my Soul to him, and he will partner with me in this healing. In fact, he is giving me a SCIO Quantum Biofeedback healing session as I write this. He will also be partnering with me as co-facilitator in what is to become Path of the Soular PriestEss, as a result of my healing. Actually, as I plant my intentional seed into Universal Consciousness, I ask my husband to co-journey with me as my main Ally. I also feel that this healing is, above all else, the Inner Sacred Marriage, or Communion, of my Soul and Spirit, of my Inner Divine Feminine & Inner Divine Masculine, in a different and higher Vibration than what I've experienced previously. This is a new layer of Divine Union. And with the new moon card I pulled, Queen of Wands, Neith, I would add that I can call her in as my partner and ally, too.
And the 8 of Vessels/Rebirth activates my natal 8th/2nd house axis (Power/Alchemy/Dearth & Rebirth for the 8th, and Money/3D Matter/Values for the 2nd) as well as including my natal Jupiter (Blessings from the Guides/Expansion in Consciousness).
At the time of the Full Moon, the Sun will be activating my Jupiter in the 8th in Cancer, and the Moon will be traveling in my 2nd house.The result of my work during the 1st half of the lunar moonth, will be an Alchemical Rebirth wherein the manner I value my body will empower me and expand upon my innate sensitive connection to the non-physical realms from which we all derive our Life Force Energy Supply. I will have a new and deeper understanding of Consciousness, which will help me to manage my power in a more self-nurturing way, that allows for the detoxifying of my WombSpace, as well as the clearing of my Psychic Space. Adding the card I pulled for this phase to the 2/8th house axis, it is clearly confirmation that release, forgiveness and surrender as well as grieving will greatly assist me in the process of rebirth and alchemical transformation, so that i can feel a greater sense of ease and comfort in my 3D body, having done the necessary work in my spiritual/emotional bodies.
Wow, that was seriously intense. Now, off to do my healing work !
ENJOY YOUR JOURNEY!!
Bright Blessings,
