This Week the Sun in Cancer moves to the 3rd decan and we begin to see what taking action on our new daily habits for self care means for the future and our big picture. This won’t be without its challenges as we hold space and seek new faith. A Full Moon in Capricorn at 21° has us believing in new possibilities for the future based on the new balance we are seeking with home and work. Black Moon Lilith moves to 10° of Cancer on the same day and we may face some fears over the next week or so around what self care habits we have or haven’t maintained in the past. It is time to move away from the old patterns around getting new habits to stick. Mercury, who is further along in Cancer, and nearing his conjunction with the Sun, is helping us bring our mind and heart’s desires together to help us truly visualize the future. Before the cazimi, he will make a square to Chiron in Aries, and sextiles to Uranus and the North Node in Taurus. We are starting to mentally open up to the new habits we need to identify with now for what we wish to manifest in the future. His conjunction with the Sun at 24° on Saturday could have you envisioning what this new future of self care looks like. They will both make trines to Neptune on Sunday, which should strengthen our faith even in the unknown. Venus, is also in the 3rd decan this week of her current respective sign Gemini, and we are in harmony on multiple levels as we open up to believing in a new future that we never thought possible before. She moves into Cancer on Sunday, and next week we begin to really open up to those self care changes we have been desiring and mentally considering for the past few weeks. Mars in Taurus moves from 4°- 8° of Taurus and our ego is beginning to attach itself to the projects we feel most drawn to. By the end of the week we will be considering what internal decisions must be made to bring those projects to fruition. Jupiter is in Aries at 8° all week, with Mars making an approaching semi-sextile, and we are expanding our beliefs around what the right decisions to make for ourselves now are. Saturn in Aquarius retrogrades back to 23° on Friday and we are beginning to reconsider what our new responsibilities look like in the future based on what we feel we believe now. (Quite a harmonious change, if I do say so myself.) Chiron in Aries is direct for one last week, and is still at 16°. We still have 9 more days to open up to the new healing we must address in order to evolve into our new sense of self. Uranus in Taurus is still at 18° but is of course, notably being approached by the North Node (T) who is holding at 20° for the next 2 weeks. This 2° orb could create some shake ups and unexpected shifts to your new decisions and action plan. You could see changes that alter your future in ways you never could have seen. Be mindful to hold the space of the tone you wish to create going forward. Neptune retro in Pisces at 25° and Pluto retro in Capricorn at 27° press on, and we continue to reconsider our God given role in the future and how to take action on transforming major power structures for the future.
