Venus’ Transit of Cancer: Mommy

by  • 

Charles West Cope

Charles West Cope

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?

Here are the aspects Venus in Cancer will make:

  • Jul 4th: inconjunct Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (1 deg)

  • Jul 8th: square Chiron in Aries (5 deg)

  • Jul 8th: sextile Uranus in Taurus (5 deg)

  • Jul 9th: trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces ( 7 deg)

  • Jul 14th: sextile Vesta in Taurus (14 deg)

  • Jul 16th: inconjunct Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (15 deg)

  • Jul 17th: opposite Saturn Rx in Capricorn (16 deg)

  • Jul 17th: square pallas in Libra (17 deg)

  • Jul 17th: conjunct North Node (17 deg)

  • Jul 18th: trine Neptune Rx in Pisces (18 deg)

  • Jul 21st: opposite Pluto Rx in Capricorn (21 deg)

  • Jul 24th: conjunct Mercury Rx (26 deg)

  • Jul 27th: Leo ingress

Cancer New Moon Eclipse: Come Home

by  • 

A few weeks ago, we moved into a new house; the first house I’ve ever owned. Yes, my name is on the title. Crazy. A homeowner? In Hawaii? How interesting that this a part of “the Plan”! My intention has only always been to listen inward for a sense of rightness, and be guided from that […]

July 2nd, 2019: Private Moments Before the Eclipse

by  •

  • Moon in Cancer square Chiron in Aries (5 deg)

  • Moon in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus (5 deg)

  • Moon in Cancer trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (6 deg)

  • New Moon eclipse at 3:16 pm EDT (10 deg)

Leading up to the eclipse this afternoon, we have a Moon/Chiron square. Here is an “ouch” that may be quite private, since it’s occurring during the dark Moon (the time just before the New Moon). This may be a moment for deeply personal contemplations of family wounds, or you may simply be feeling extra vulnerable.

The Moon’s sextile to Uranus (liberation) and trine to BML (taboo female energy) can provide some gentle encouragement that it’s ok to be different – to be an outsider. Not only is it ok, it’s high time that you embraced your differences, even if this means breaking away from family (or redefining your position within the family). New values and definitions of self-esteem will support you. But you can do this in a non-threatening way; you can blend it with your needs and comfort level so the transition is painless.

Keep in mind that everything that occurs during the dark Moon is for your eyes only, and the flow of energy (waning until the moment of the New Moon) means you’re releasing. This time could feel quietly liberating as you exhale and proceed forward, despite the wound. Chiron in Aries is about having the courage to confront the wound and make it part of your identity as you move forward. You’re imperfect and vulnerable but strong.

The eclipse is your fresh start.

Cancer Solar Eclipse: Expecting

by  • 

Eclipses herald change, and many of us have found ourselves careening from crisis to crisis – insecure about access to life’s essentials, flapping our wings in perturbation, frantically looking for ways to make ourselves feel safe and to bend the world to our will. Kicking back and letting nature take its course has not felt like an option. But as with all eclipses, this one is part of a larger story…

New Moon Eclipse in Cancer

by  •

New Moon eclipse coming up on July 2nd. It’s at 10 deg Cancer, making a wide conjunction with the Cancer North Node (path forward/the future). This means that new beginnings will be powerfully aligned with your future, and will urge you to move towards something emotional and authentic – something that resonates with your needs (your gut). Cancer is the sign of mother, child and family, so these issues will be paramount. It could be you as mother or child, in any relationship.

Mars enters Leo on July 1st and Venus enters Cancer on July 3rd. So this new beginning will be flanked by actions (Mars) that are proud, creative, showy and stubborn. Money/relationships/values (Venus) will be coloured by the eclipse themes – what you need and want, what feels right, what’s aligned with family. Overall, this suggests positive vibes for this eclipse, especially Venus – this new beginning should feature what you want.

Leo and Cancer are both associated with the child- Cancer is the child who needs to be protected and Leo is the child who needs space to display and play. These combined energies suggest the start of something that encourages you to just do what feels right and essential for you. If others don’t approve, that’s too bad. This is your thing, your direction. Your path of self-expression and safety and happiness.

But.

Let’s not the forget the Capricorn South Node (the past) and Saturn Rx’s conjunction to the South Node on July 4th. While you’re activating your future, you’ll also have to deal with your past. Saturn/South Node is the tradition, responsibility or authority issue that you continue to deal with (Saturn also passed over the SN on April 30th). So it won’t all be smile and chuckles – there’s an ending or old rule that you must attend to. The future is built on the past.

The New Moon in Cancer is a powerful birth image – whether this heralds a literal, physical birth or the metaphorical birth of a new you/ project/relationship, etc. Are you learning how to play and celebrate yourself? Are you welcoming someone into the world?

Congratulations.

June 29th, 2019: Cancer Sun Sextile Vesta

by  • 

Boris Kustodiev

Boris Kustodiev

  • Sun in Cancer sextile Vesta in Taurus (8 deg)

An area of devotion is subtly empowered. Absolute focus on habits, resources (including money) and security (Vesta in Taurus) is given purpose by emotional or family issues. Pay attention to the gentle intensification of what you need/feel by what you must have or what you’re trying to preserve.

This aspect can solidify a family matter or confirm your security/safety with a gentle nudge – a hint that you’re looking in the correct area. Security is sacred and family values can support abundance. The mood is quietly satisfied.
