  • Moon in Cancer square Mars in Aries (12 deg)

  • Moon in Cancer opposite Saturn in Capricorn (13 deg)

  • Moon in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces (14 deg)

The Moon/Mars square triggers emotional outbursts. The Moon is at its most powerful in Cancer (the sign it rules) which means feelings and needs will be close to the surface. Mars can stir up anger, passion or hurt feelings, and everything will be taken very personally.

But the Moon’s opposition to Saturn clamps down on any outbursts. Cancer is the child and Capricorn (ruled by Saturn ) is the adult. So we have an equally strong Saturn using authority and rules to block the expression of feelings. The result can be simmering frustration and repressed needs. Watch for stress-induced regressions into childhood.

The trine to Neptune is your outlet. If you’re feeling angry or impatient, you can tap into a source of creativity, transcendence or spirituality. Neptune encourages you to reach beyond your immediate needs – exhale and consider what else you can do in the moment, since Saturn will effectively block you. You will feel needy or restricted.

Remind yourself that this too shall pass and there’s always something more beyond what’s happening right now (Cancer is intensely personal but Neptune/Pisces is transpersonal). If you can find a way to forgive or shrug off the tension while focusing on what’s soothing and uplifting, you can glide through these stormy waters.

Leo Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse: The Gift of Boredom

This Full Moon brings the last in a series of Leo eclipses that began in early 2017. Eclipses reflect points of change and crisis, and in Leo, the crisis is around how to feel more engaged with your life. How to love, create, and inhabit it fiercely and fully. As this cycle of Leo/Aquarius eclipses comes to an end, I think we’re finally ready to change our lives to make room for more heart. I’m hearing this loud and clear from clients, and I’m feeling it myself. But the question is always, “How will I make time for it?”
