This week the Sun, our shining self, and Mercury, our fast moving, wide-ranging mind, both move from the waters of Cancer to the brightness of Leo.
This is a significant shift in mood and thinking; from nostalgic to confident and expressive.
This is the transition from Cancer to Leo. The time of saltwater sea and tears, the floating in the depths on our own, the merging and riding the waves closes. The time of basking in the warmth of each other's original presences, of sharing stories and allowing ourselves to light up and share our gifts has come.
At her Last Quarter, the Aries Moon challenges the Cancer Sun in her final degrees, and asks her what she is going to do with all the intensity of feeling and emotional growth of the last month?
Enough dwelling in our feelings. It's time to move.
And what do you need to leave behind now?
What weight do you need to drop to rise higher?
You may ask yourself:
What is weighing me down and holding me back?
What simple action can I take this week to begin to move forward with less baggage?
Banish regret; the time is now and the timing is perfect.
Planetary Helpers
On the day of the Last Quarter Moon (Wednesday the 20th) Sun and Moon create a tight T-Square with Pluto. This lends transformative potency to our symbolic (and actual) acts of release.
In the meantime, Venus, Vesta and Hygeia hold nurturing space for our transformation, with a grand trine in Water.
There's potential to initiate deep and lasting change under this Moon. We are pushed to let go, it may be uncomfortable, but we are held in a gracious embrace of healing, balance, and devotion as we shift.
Use this opportunity well.
I want you to know: You are resilient. You are capable of shifting and releasing even the oldest, most entrenched patterns. It's not too late. Just do it.... Allons-y
