In this seventh installment of our monthly salons on the New Moon, Salome’s resident astrologer, Carol Ferris, will offer insights into the astrology of the month ahead, including the Summer Solstice. Join us to hear all about it.
In July, the New Moon is in Cancer:
Why is the Summer Solstice constellation named Cancer, after the crab?
If you stand in the same place every Winter morning, watching the Sun climb from the low horizon of the sky, day after day, you will see the Sun climbing higher and higher. You might think the Sun will continue to climb higher in the sky throughout the year, however, at the Summer Sol-stice, the Sun, Sol is still stice. Then the Sun begins its descent, back the way it came—moving like a crab.
At high summer, during the longest days of the year, Nature brings her pregnancy to full term, preparing to deliver the golden child of summer: Leo. At high summer, this part of the sky is full of ripe, productive constellations, including Praesepe, a milky cluster also known as The Beehive. Visible with the naked eye, near the constellation Cancer, you can easily imagine bees flying from it in the ancient world, a birthplace for new souls.
In this evening salon, Carol will offer participants information on what this Dark Moon in Summer may deliver?
Note: If you have a copy of your own horoscope, it will be possible to trace these currents to your own experiences.

About Carol Ferris
Carol Ferris is a full-time consulting astrologer, teacher, and private tutor of astrology with four decades of experience. She completed her MA in Interdisciplinary Studies at Marylhurst University. The title of her thesis, The Sky's Body: Constellations and Medicine reflects her ongoing interest in nature-based medicine and governance thinking of the ancient Near East and Chinese philosophers and astrologers. Carol's work with the multivalent symbols of astrology is interwoven into work with dreams and active imagination. Over the years, Carol has seen these two frameworks —astrological mapping and Jungian imagery —as mutually beckoning guides to understand how all life, in its exquisite specificity, rises from a unified field.
