  • Waxing Sextile between the Leo Moon and Gemini Sun (16 deg)

  • Mercury in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus (4 deg)

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

Waxing Sextile

Here we have a gently sparkling energy that encourages you to take pride in your words or go public with your ideas. You can gain favourable attention by communicating, but you have to step into the spotlight and say “Listen to me.” This is not loud and dramatic – consider it as light and playful but worthy of notice.

Mercury

Mercury (ruler of Gemini) starts things off right with a sextile to Uranus – slightly daring/innovative words but nothing too crazy. The freedom to speak out in your comfort zone. But then the square to Chiron, which could make it difficult. You may shrink back from saying your piece because you feel vulnerable. Or, anything that’s said may feel so personal that it hurts, no matter how you put it out there.

Understand that there will be some painful conversations or thoughts today (most likely about past and family). You can’t avoid it, but you can use the energy of the Waning Sextile to forge ahead. Just say it/write it, and use the added nudge from Uranus to say what’s not quite “proper” or put a different twist on it- you have the freedom to articulate and Chiron’s wounds don’t do go away just because you avoid them.

June 6th, 2019: Courage, Compassionate Words and Transformed Agreements

  • Mercury in Cancer trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (3 deg)

  • Pluto Rx in Capricorn opposite Juno in Cancer (22 deg)

  • Chiron in Aries trine Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (5 deg)

Mercury/BML

Lilith finds an outlet for her message. Her slippery, dangerous undercurrent of taboo female sexuallity can be verbalized in a way that’s personal – everyone who hears her message will apply it to themselves in some way, for the better. Excellent for triggering empathy or delving into your own BML issues via family discussions.

Pluto Rx /Juno

A major transformation to a relationship agreement brings you to a turning point or ending. This can be the “death” of contract or a confrontation that triggers fear of loss and the resulting refusal to let go (or an unbalanced expression of power as one partner attempts to dominate). Pluto will intensify all dynamics because subconscious issues are dredged up. Don’t’ expect a logical discussion but do look for truths to emerge. Pluto is Rx, so you and another are returning to this issue.

Chiron/Ceres Rx

Expanded nurturing, or the nurturing of a quest/new area of learning/faith can help you address certain wounds. Chiron in Aries is the vulnerability of true courage, or having the courage to be the pioneer while others turn away. The trine to Ceres Rx encourages you to keep moving forward into unknown territory. Ceres is Rx, so you may be revisiting this issue (perhaps you’ve contemplated this before).

June 5th, 2019: All The Feels

  • Moon in Cancer conjunct Mars (13 deg)

  • Moon in Cancer conjunct North Node (17 deg)

  • Moon in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)

  • Moon in Cancer opposite Saturn Rx in Capricorn (19 deg)

Assertive moods kick things off with the Moon/Mars conjunction- all the feels will be released with great energy (or anger), and this can propel you forward. The conjunction with the North Node encourages full-on expression; this is not the time to deny what you’re feeling.

Anger, tears, passion, protectiveness, vulnerability – they will all come out.

The trine to Neptune will enable the flow as limits are gently dissolved. You may need even more than you realized while connecting with the transpersonal vibe of compassion, the collective or greater healing. This can be the moment when you realize that others feel what you feel – you’re not alone.

However, the Moon then runs into an opposition with Saturn Rx and the flow will come to a halt. Here we have the external authority/rules/father and the message is “No.” What gives? Whatever limits you confront, consider them to be a call to maturity and self-sufficiency – it’s important to express your feelings but if taken too far, it’s like the child throwing a tantrum.

Ultimately, you’re responsible for meeting your own needs and you can’t hold others hostage with your moods. I mean, you can, but realize what that does to those around you. It’s a balance between owning your feelings versus forcing them on others and using your moodiness as a threat when they don’t comply.

Remembering that Saturn is the ruler of the South Node (the past) this opposition can also be an ending/result as your feelings carry you away from what no longer nourishes you. Parental dynamics will be pronounced, whether or not your actual parents are involved.

Mercury’s Transit of Cancer: Speaking When You’re Vulnerable

by  •

Mercury enters Cancer on June 4th, giving all communication and information a very personal spin. Cancer is the sign of home, family (especially mother/child) needs and inner security. Words will be subjective and may make you feel vulnerable. On the other hand, this is the transit to say what you really feel; empathy, neediness and protectiveness can be communicated.

Mercury in Cancer is able to communicate ideas in a way that everyone feels – everyone can connect with the message because it will resonate with them on a personal level, whether or not it’s targeted at them. So this can be a good time to (carefully) make your message public if you want to reach a wide audience on a gut level. At the same time, be aware that what you hear may or may not be meant to hit you in your soft spot. Even if it sounds like it’s all about your mother/past/inner child, you may just be resonating with the overall vibe.

Think before you respond- Mercury is a Cardinal sign and impulse (hurt, sadness, fear, possessiveness) can trigger emotional responses that say more than you counted on. This is the flood of words that rips off the bandage from the past and exposes your most private issues – this is fine if you’re ready to be verbally naked.

Mercury will exit this sign for Leo on June 26th, but will return to Cancer on July 19th, due to its retrograde. I’ll write about the Rx details during Mercury’s Leo transit, but know that Mercury Rx will reactivate 29 to 23 deg Cancer – questions about the impulsive words or a second look at how feelings and intellect line up will be featured at these degrees.

Here are the aspects Mercury in Cancer will make:

  • Jun 6th: trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (3 deg)

  • Jun 7th: sextile Uranus in Taurus (4 deg)

  • Jun 7th: inconjunct Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (5 deg)

  • Jun 7th: square Chiron in Aries (5 deg)

  • Jun 10th: square Pallas in Libra (10 deg)

  • Jun 15th: conjunct the North Node (17 deg)

  • Jun 16th: trine Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)

  • Jun 16th: inconjunct Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (18 deg)

  • Jun 16th: opposite Saturn Rx in Capricorn (18 deg)

  • Jun 18th: conjunct Mars (21 deg)

  • Jun 19th: opposite Pluto Rx in Capricorn (22 deg)

  • Jun 26th: Leo ingress
