If we can quietly observe and reflect in what holds the most importance for our individual growth, we could find an opportunity in this cosmic process of breakdown, to break through. Areas that surround our values, relationships, love and money will be most sensitive this week, with a lonely Venus/Saturn opposition on Wednesday July 17, […]

July 14th, 2019: Injection of Perspective

Waxing Inconjunct between the Sagittarius Moon and Cancer Sun (21 deg)
Sun in Cancer opposite Pluto Rx in Capricorn (21 deg)
Challenging energies today, as the Waxing Inconjunct presents an awkward reminder that what’s safe/subjective needs to be adjusted with the bigger picture. Personal or family issues may receive an unwelcome injection of wisdom, education or expansion. You have to look up and out while still considering matters closest to you.
Adding to the discomfort, the Sun opposes Pluto Rx. Pluto is the Shadow, the power play or manipulation. The light of the Sun will expose what’s darkest, revealing the underside of family or deeply subjective concerns. Watch for domestic power plays, increased neediness or a result that indicates the “death” of a familiar situation.
This is where the Waxing Inconjunct will come in handy; as much as you may not want to consider the bigger picture or distant horizon, it’s essential that you factor it into this intense Pluto energy. You need that outside input because it will give you perspective on this heavy situation.

July 11th, 2019: Mars Square Uranus

Waxing Trine between the Scorpio Moon and Cancer Sun (19 deg)
Mars in Leo trine Chiron Rx in Aries (5 deg)
Mars in Leo square Uranus in Taurus (6 deg)
The Waxing Trine enables harmony between what’s safe/comfortable and what can be very uncomfortable. Intensity blends with familiarity, moving you towards a profound exploration of needs, feelings or family issues. Excellent for accessing secrets or personal issues that no one wants to look at. Now’s the chance to dive in and get comfortable in the deeper waters.
The Mars/Chiron trine continues that theme as bold or confident actions trigger healing through courage. The wound is there, but you’ve got the stuff to confront it and move through it – you can stand out/stand up even though you feel vulernable.
But…Mars also squares Uranus. So there will be jolts, accidents, explosions of anger or unexpected displays. Again the backdrop of these smooth trines we have a surge of electricity – it may be a push into the future or an impatient demand for attention, no matter the cost. Maybe this is what triggers the need to go deeper. And it can certainly open up an opportunity for healing (Chiron) through bold actions (Mars).
Mars/Uranus is risky – Mars in Leo likes to play/gamble/grab attention and a hard aspect to Uranus cranks that up. These energies can result in liberation or breakage – caution is advised. What are you trying to accomplish? The current is moving forward but it’s best if you exercise awareness.

July 9th, 2019: First Quarter Square

First Quarter Square between the Libra Moon and Cancer Sun (16 deg)
Moon in Libra square Saturn Rx/South Node in Capricorn (17 deg)
Sun in Cancer conjunct the North Node, opposite Saturn Rx/South Node in Capricorn (17 deg)
The First Quarter Square involves the Nodes and Saturn Rx, so there’s extra oomph. Something is out of balance – old rules/traditions/fears need to be addressed, as well as family issues. It feels very personal and subjective, but there’s a prompt that encourages you to step back and balance your needs with another’s.
This will feel uncomfortable: you’ll feel like focusing on your stuff while curling up and hugging your blanket/cat/bottle of wine. The very act of trying to balance anything may feel like too much work. But the way forward (the Sun conjoins the North Node) is only open if you can view the past and future objectively. That means taking action – correct the imbalance, tend to that old responsibility, finalize the ending. Consider how your needs impact others.
The Moon squaring the Nodes means this balance is crucial – you are at the tipping point between past and future. There may be a specific relationship, or this could just be about you bringing your life back into balance. Saturn Rx will apply pressure, forcing you to focus, grow up or do the work. You may need to balance adult with child, authority with empathy, independence with vulnerability.

July 8th, 2019: Slow Down, It Hurts

Mercury Rx in Leo conjunct Mars (4 deg)
Venus in Cancer square Chiron in Aries (5 deg)
Venus in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus (6 deg)
Chiron stations Rx in Aries (5 deg)
Mercury/Mars
Words and actions unite, but Mercury’s Rx status means one or more of the following:
taking action on a conversation/idea from the past
questioning current actions (look behind the shine)
looking back intensifies the decision to act (it’s time)
a message from the past triggers anger/passion/assertiveness
In general, there’s increased thoughtfulness combined with bold/showy actions. There could be delays, but more likely the second look or question will prompt the actions. This can be a powerful way to manifest, provided you take note of what Mercury Rx is telling you.
Venus/Chiron
Venus’ square to Chiron in Mars-ruled Aries adds another layer to the above. It would appear that the actions are happening in the face of a painful relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. Venus in Cancer is tender, and a hard aspect to Chiron means ultra-sensitive moments where you don’t get what you want (including empathy) or what you want reveals some very awkward feelings. Perhaps this is why Mercury is Rx when joined with Mars – it will be so important to slow down and proceed with care even if you’re asserting yourself with bold words.
However, Venus’ sextile to Uranus (in Venus-ruled Taurus) is hopeful. Despite the pain and tenderness, there’s room to progress, provided you focus on doing things for yourself and liberating yourself from stagnant habits/security needs. Taurus is about self-sufficiency and Uranus is about independence. These energies can support Venus who is (let’s be honest) sometimes quite helpless and needy in Cancer. Look at how you can become more self-sufficient.
And finally, Chiron stations Rx after the “ouch” with Venus. This echoes Mercury’s Rx – more reviews and intensifications. Whatever Venus/Chiron stirred up will amplify what hurts. Chiron Rx can press harder on the wound or force you to slow down and look inside. You can’t ignore it – it’s time to face the pain. You may be called on to display more courage, even though you feel weak. That “weakness” is the entry point and it’s where the healing begins.
Today is the day you assert yourself, with carefully chosen words, in the face of what hurts. Today is the day you take stock of why it hurts.

Venus’ Transit of Cancer: Mommy
Venus enters Cancer at 11:17 am EDT on July 3rd.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon, which is about needs. Venus is about what you want. The two are very different, but when Venus enters this sign they are united. So think about what you want and need, and how they can come together in the next month. Consider the differences and how they might unite.
Venus in Cancer adds a very personal cast to all relationship, financial and self- esteem issues. It matters because it matters to you, end of story. Venus in Cancer is emotional, empathetic, moody. Love/affection is displayed via nurturing and there is no way to detach. Yes, it’s personal and if they don’t get it they don’t get you. Literally.
You want to feel safe and cuddled. Love is expressed with hugs. If there’s no emotional connection- f**k them.
Food.
We can’t forget about Cancer’s association with comfort food – chocolate, soup, mashed potatoes. Whatever you want and whatever makes you feel good. This is a potent blend of want and security. Mother, nourishment. Milk. How does this play out in your life?
Regardless of what your relationship is with your mother, this transit can take you to a place where you are aware of what you want and need, and it’s all about her. It’s potent because it’s based on the past.
How does what you want connect to your relationship with your mother? Do you need to change it or strengthen it?
