We are in the last week of the month of Cancer, and Friday night, we move into the New Moon of Leo.
On Sunday, the Moon in Gemini is conjunct Uranus, which has just entered Gemini, bringing emotional ups and downs. This can become a crisis for the nervous system. Here, we need to find inner stability and ground ourselves. Find a place of security and imagine expanding it. Uranus in Gemini (especially for you Geminis) brings changes in everything that is connected to the air element. It’s time to pay more attention to our thoughts and be aware. Be mindful of what is going on internally and how emotions surface.
The Moon will also conjunct Venus, the planet of love and relationships, also in Gemini. And this brings some unique aspects to all that is connected to female energy. Take time to make sure you’re breathing well and to support your respiratory system and mental health.
On Tuesday, the Sun moves to Leo, giving us the sensation that we are all on fire. It also brings us great opportunities to step up to responsibilities and let the Light guide us. But it can also bring up anger, and one of the attributes of the fire element is a “my way or the highway” attitude. Stay open to the fact that we don’t know everything. One of the journeys of the fire element is learning humility.
Also on Tuesday, the Moon conjuncts Jupiter, the planet of blessings, in Cancer. This gives us an opportunity to understand people emotionally and to relate to them more easily, to create true connection. The Moon rules Cancer. In addition, Jupiter in Cancer is exalted—together they are strong and powerful. Be aware of where you direct your thoughts and actions this week.
As the Moon enters Leo, we begin the month of Leo on Friday night. The nine days that follow the New Moon are the toughest nine days of the year, bringing us to the ninth day of Leo, which is the most negative day of the year. From Friday on, give extra attention to what type of judgments are active in your life. Judgment can be good when it gives us healthy boundaries, but there is also the kind of judgment that amplifies negativity in our lives—for instance, when we wish people harm or we want people that we don’t like to evaporate from our environment. Know that each person is on a journey of their own, whether we like them or not.
Each person we encounter has the right to connect to the Light and to succeed. We have the tendency to wish others ill if and when they hurt us. Observe this negativity and keep it tethered. They have permission to enjoy life and to be successful. They are on their own path. Each one of us will eventually get to that place of deep connection to the Light. Some of us will get there sooner, and some later. But we will all get there. This is a great understanding. Then, even when someone hurts you, you’re not sending negativity back to them. You can release your own personal prison of revenge and negative thoughts. Remember, those negative days can be positive if you direct your energy in that direction.
