On
Monday, the Moon is uber busy (
we likely are, too) ... until she isn't anymore.
We start the day with the Moon in initiating, passionate, "me" and action-oriented Aries - get to work early. Best to put future gains ahead of present comfort this morning. Yes, even if the sun is shining (
unless we are on vacation then this is good energy for vacation style action - get out there!). With an Aries Moon everyone will want what they want and they'll want it now. The Moon kicks off with a trine (
brakes off) to Saturn in Sagittarius. This is a good time to work with Sagittarius themes - foreign, travel, weddings, politics, higher education, religious, media, politics and with structure and authority.
With the Moon in Aries it's best to keep the focus on our own stuff even as we deal with 'big picture' themes.
The Moon is sextiling (
opportunity) Mercury - good time to make a decision or come to an agreement. Ideas, communication, local activities, neighbors, siblings, transportation, interviews, writing - all get the green light early in the day. Later on the Moon conjuncts Uranus (
also in Aries) and then sextiles (
opportunity) the Gemini Sun. We are all feeling ambitious and probably a bit restless and scattered.
The Moon goes void at 3:42PM EST and then moves into Taurus a couple hours later. In Taurus the Moon is
exalted. This would be a good day to close down early and enjoy some Taurean comfort - good food, nature, massage, etc. Summer is as close as our own fingertips ...
On
Tuesday, we have the Moon exalted in Taurus and Venus (
happy in Taurus) sextiling Neptune (
in Pisces where she rules).
Right brain activities are favored. What could be better for making money with imaginative work, attracting what we want with and through women and/or for compassionate, spiritual or healing activities. We will all be absorbing each other's energy now ... likely in a positive way
- it will be easy to feel where other people are coming from (
if we are patient enough to let ourselves go there) even when we disagree with them.
The rest of week -
Wednesday onward, it is all CANCER all of the time (
and there is alot of Cancer for the next few weeks actually). First the Sun moves into Cancer kicking off a new season with the Summer Solstice. Post to follow
The Sun quickly conjuncts Mercury (
also making a move into Cancer this week) so
the first day of summer brings important messages/information
or something involving a Mercurian theme - information, communication, sibling, transportation, local environment - that could involve us through the summer season.
Family discussions will be sentimental. What we need and what other people need will be colored by our memories of how things
used to be (or how we wished they had been). Comfort comes from people and situations that are
familiar.
Then we have the New Moon in Cancer (
Friday) - the entire end of the week is about NEW BEGINNINGS. We'll talk about this New Moon later, coming so near the Summer Solstice and sitting with Mercury - it's a big one.
Cancer is all about family and home and history and patriotism and security - about having our needs met and meeting the needs of others we are close to. It's about vulnerability and how we deal with
that.
The Sun will shine a light on these areas as well as light up our natal Cancer house. Cancer is ruled by the Moon. Her emotional nature comes from the fact she changes signs every couple days - contrast that with the Sun who moves through one sign a month or Neptune who sits in the same sign for fifteen years. Can you imagine if the celestial body ruling our emotions stayed in the same place for fifteen years? We wouldn't be moody anymore that's for sure and certainly some people would be lucky enough to be smiling for over a decade, but we
could be stuck in a bad mood through four presidents and three car loans. That's a whole lot of lemons!
Looked at it this way - the moody, changeable Moon is our friend, right?
By the end of the week, the Sun, Mercury and Mars will all be in emotional Cancer. Whatever is happening will feel deeply
personal.
Emotions will override logic. We will be feeling where we are most vulnerable. So will other people, so let's give each other a break.
On Sunday, Mars (
in Cancer) will square Jupiter (
in Libra) and then trine (
brakes off) Neptune (
now retrograde in Pisces). This adds passion, excitement and ambition to whatever we are focused on. It could make something feel bigger than it actually is. New beginnings can seem overwhelming because we will be
feeling the words we hear and speak,
feeling our way through the actions we take (
yes, this could slow us down a bit) and feeling what we need to feel safe. The further our current circumstances deviate from this space of safety and the feeling of "home" the more stress we will be dealing with over the next couple weeks.
