We are still in the New Moon phase, and the week opened with the Sun entering the sign of Cancer on Sunday. This signals the approaching summer solstice. The energy moves from air to water, from expansion to contraction. It is a journey to look within and figure out how to use your emotional intelligence and avoid being your feelings, while using them to create true connections.
Mercury, the planet of communication in the sign of Cancer, has a good aspect with Mars, the planet of war and desire. This can help us gain perspective and positive manifestations in life. Next week, on Monday, Mercury will go retrograde in the sign of Cancer, giving us an opportunity to reflect on our emotions. Of course, make sure you back up your files!
The thing about Cancer is that when they get hurt, they don’t confront the situation. They shove the hurt way down inside. With all the emotions expanding, they can get out of proportion. Mercury in Cancer creates confusion about emotions. When Mercury is retrograde in this sign, this process is amplified and will require us to talk about things to create and restore connections. Exploding on others is not part of a spiritual practice. The goal is to learn how to speak with vulnerability. Holding things in causes damage to our health.
The month of Cancer is not an easy month, but it is rewarding. So, use every positive aspect to gain more understanding and emotional intelligence. Wednesday, Mars will also be in a good aspect with Jupiter which can help us set goals and achieve them. The combination of water and earth can be fruitful, and it is just a few days before Jupiter moves to Leo.
Monday, the Moon in Libra is in opposition to Neptune and then Saturn. Turn your attention towards setting the right boundaries in your life. Neptune can bring confusion if we are not really looking into the situation in a focused, spiritual, and efficient way. Be aware of arguments with people during this time.
A special aspect starts to build with the connection between Uranus, Pluto, and Neptune on July 9th. They will all be in exact trine and sextile with each other. It is a portal for humanity to understand that nobody can take away our power. Deepen your sense of responsibility towards your life and towards the world. This type of aspect has never happened. In 1921, there was a trine between Uranus and Pluto, and that’s when people started to notice that there is more to a person than the body.
On Wednesday, the Moon moves to Scorpio, where it’s very deep spiritually, and it’s going to be in an opposition to Mars, which can bring some tension between what we want to hide and what we want to talk about. Friday, the Moon moves to Sagittarius, and it’s going to be in opposition to Uranus, which can cause tension in our emotional systems. The process is to balance our nervous systems, explore, and study.
