Cancer Season kicks off by touching a nerve. With the Sun squaring off with Chiron into this weekend, we may be feeling triggered. Chiron shows us our emotional, psychic, and spiritual knots, which hold us back. It’s a weekend for healing work.
Couple that with a Scorpio Moon all weekend, plus Mercury opposing Pluto, and we’re really zeroing in on a deeper issue. Mercury and Pluto give us almost an X-ray vision into things and can set us up for a powerful conversation with someone. If you have plans this weekend, you may end up having an emotional revealing conversation with someone, one that touches on trust, intimacy, and vulnerability. You can also use this aspect for self reflection, meditation, and journaling.
Circling back to Chiron, the planet/not really is really a planet is active in the sky right now. In fact, it will turn retrograde on July 5 at 2 degrees of Aries. The square between the Sun and Chiron is a check in on our emotional, spiritual, and psychic knots, these invisible tears and snags in the fabric of our lives that we have to work on to heal. These knots come through experiences that left a mark and we release these knots by connecting to the collective experience of what we went through and depersonalizing the pain. (Example, working on mother issues or trauma as means of opening up space for all people who suffer similarly. When you heal yourself, you make it more possible for others to heal because there is more space for light in the tapestry of humanity as well as creation. Chiron teaches us that the personal is collective.) Seeing how Chiron is now in Aries, this is a big check in on what this new era means.
Lastly, as I mentioned yesterday, we’re officially in Cancer Season, a time in the zodiac calendar when we get back to the heart of things. Cancer is emotional connection, bonding, and nurturing. It’s home, family, and the roots of our lives.
Because Cancer touches on sensitive and fundamental aspects of human life, this season can sometimes hit on something deep, especially if we feel that our lives are lacking care and nurturing. However astrology always gives us another chance to reset this area. With that in mind, do your emotional work this season. Reach out to loved ones. Create stronger connection. Find ways to bond. Share positive memories.
PS — I’m doing a webinar on June 30 called The Gateway to get you ready for eclipse season, which happens every six months. Eclipses mark the major events of our lives. They send us in new directions. They close one door and open another. I’ll be talking more about what eclipses mean as well as how you can work with the energy for your sign. Details and registration below.
