The conjunction of Mars and the Sun moved from Gemini to Cancer, both in aspect (90 degrees) to the nodes of the moon, so now it all becomes much more personal and emotional. Together with Saturn returning to Scorpio, and the moon will be in Scorpio as well next two and a half days, we suddenly have a lot of water in the sky (and let’s not forget Neptune and Chiron in Pisces).
Together with the water, there’s also a strong fire present with the applying aspect between Venus and Jupiter in Leo, and both trine (120 degrees aspect) Uranus, which brings with it a need to do, create and do some more.
These days bring focused energy and a need to initiate and work towards self-fulfillment and to bring out our authenticity and personal creativity. Everything becomes more focused on our own needs, but this is a place we can find ourselves less objective and more motivated, impulsive and emotional. On the one hand, it’s really a good time to get things moving, to be involved in life and start to design and produce our own selves, to give voice to something more authentic and spontaneous to go out without a lot of filters.
The flip side is dealing with a lot of anger and emotional outbursts, on our part or on the part of other people as well, when everyone wants the forefront but no one takes into account others around. So we need to take a deep breath before reacting to every little thing or finding ourselves offended and take to heart.
Between all this fire and water, Mercury in Gemini will make in the coming days 150-degree aspect to Pluto. This aspect can stop us and allow reflection on mercurial matters, like how to talk to each other without creating more walls and lies around. Deeper attunement will be on June 27/28 (depends on your time zone), when the moon in Scorpio will join Pluto and Mercury to a “Finger of God”, and we can work on a deeper emotional expression. It’s a good time to express in writing deep feelings, fears and everything you feel restricts you in any way.
All this energy is currently being built ahead of the full moon at 9’55 Capricorn on July 1/2.
The Moon will conjunct Pluto in Capricorn and sextile Neptune in Pisces. The Sun in Cancer will conjunct Mars, which will be exactly square the Nodes of the Moon on that day (5 deg). This is undoubtedly a small energetic peak in this month, that could trigger a lot of pent-up energy within us, but if it is not routed in a healthy and balanced way it can lead to tantrums, fits of violence and impulsive aggression.
So if you wake up early in the morning to practice and meditate on this day (and if you feel like tuning in to this energy) take this as an opportunity to send intention to healing and cleansing anger from the past, frustrations associated with your family or the release of the barriers that come from that direction, beliefs that do not serve you anymore, and hold you from nourishing and taking care of yourself as you deserve.
If you have planets in the cardinal signs of the zodiac (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) those aspects will be more meaningful for you.
