We’re in the build up to next week’s station of Mars. It will turn direct at 23 Scorpio on June 29. We’re feeling the ripples and waves of the energy in the collective. Mars rules Volcanos, so, as a result, we may feel like we’re ready to blow.

Aquarius Moon day creating a bit of a push/pull between needing the comfort of something close like home and wanting to explore the world through ideas, intellect. Aquarius is a very detached sign and about as far away as you can get from the Sun in Cancer.

This week Mercury has been passing through the combined forces of Jupiter, Neptune, and Saturn, activating a major story that has been unfolding this year. If Mercury in Gemini places a finger on the pulse of our choices, then what do we put our faith in?

Happy birthday Cancer! Happy Solstice! If you’re in the northern hemisphere like me, Cancer ushers in the start of summer. The trees and flowers are full with promise, the days are long and warm, and we enjoy the bounty of the natural world.

Today our gal Venus says goodbye to Gemini, a sign that she’s known to have a bit of fun in, and checks into Cancer for a four week stay. Cancer is the sign of home, family, roots, emotions, and the mother. It’s the first water sign and in it we discover our primal emotions.

Tomorrow, Saturn and Neptune will make an exact square, the second of three contacts. If Saturn is matter, the physical world, structure, and achievement, then Neptune is spirit, the non-physical world, mysticism. We are battling divine needs vs. our own.

Here are a couple of things to note as we start the week. Mercury is finally in Gemini after almost twelve weeks in Taurus. The other big thing to keep in mind is that Neptune turns retrograde today. Are you feeling overly sensitive? More emotional than usual?

We’re coming off of yesterday’s argumentative face off between Mercury and Mars. Tensions may still be a touch high today, especially now that the Moon is in Virgo. We may feel overly critical, nitpicky, restless, quick to find fault in the details.
