JUNE 26 - JULY 2, 2023
All dates and times are given in EDT. Monday, June 26. Today's clash between Mars and Uranus sets an angry tone for the day the week starts off on a potentially explosive note. While this could easily turn out to be reflected on the world stage, this inflammatory and often accident-prone energy is likely to impact some of you on a personal level because it promotes short tempers and impulsive actions. It's very important that think before you act/react today. Not only does this influence urge you to break free of any perceived restraints, but with patience in short supply, you could take an action today that you'll later regret. Likewise, if you're asked to make a decision today, it's best to tell the person you'll get back to them tomorrow. You'll also do well to slow down in the physical sense, because accidents are more likely to happen if you're in a rush under this influence. You'll also do well to take extra care when driving, because even if you're calm, cool and collected, odds are high that someone else will be in road rage mode. At 8:24 PM, Mercury enters Cancer for a two-week visit with the Crab (details below). Tuesday, June 27. After yesterday's high-octane energy, today's peaceful vibes come as a welcome relief. You can count on the transiting Libra moon to help restore your sense of balance, and if necessary, make amends for any unfortunate interactions that may have occurred yesterday. This influence will also help you accomplish whatever is on your professional or personal to-do lists. Not only will you feel motivated to do so, but you can count on the cooperation of other people to help you. Wednesday, June 28. In and of itself, today's Sun-Saturn trine makes this is an excellent day for professional endeavors, as well as any project that benefits from organization, determination, focus and persistence. However, when you factor in the series of supportive aspects throughout the day from the transiting (and strategic) Scorpio Moon, it becomes a standout day for pursuing your ambitions. Thursday, June 29. Patience and a calm demeanor will serve you well today. Although the early part of the day should go smoothly, a catty exchange between the transiting Scorpio Moon and Venus in the mid-afternoon could trigger an argument that takes on a life of its own as the day goes on. Even if you're able to sidestep an afternoon tiff, you're not out of the woods yet because between and 5:00 - 8:00 PM, the transiting Scorpio Moon has a bone to pick with Uranus before she reads Mars the riot act. While a conflict is by no means inevitable, should you find yourself involved in one, do your best to diffuse the situation rather than allow it to escalate in an emotional free for all. Friday, June 30. Shortly before transiting Neptune stations retrograde (details below), the transiting Moon lightens the mood when it enters the upbeat sign of the Archer (11:01 AM). With the Mercury-Saturn trine promoting clear communications, rational thinking and attention to detail, this can be an excellent day for professional pursuits, because it will help you express your opinions, create effective plans and meet any outstanding deadlines. Saturday, July 1. If your life has been feeling stagnant lately, the flowing and expansive aspects between the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter can help you jumpstart it in a new direction. Taken together, these influences promote a wide variety of creative endeavors, as well as travel, education and social activities. Topping it off is the transiting Sagittarius Moon, which encourages new adventures and supplies a sense of optimism and enthusiasm.
Sunday, July 2. After a brief Void period (9:34 AM - 1:21 PM), the energy becomes more grounded when the transiting Moon enters Capricorn, provides a steadying influence against the instability of today's Venus-Uranus square. This influence is usually experienced through our relationships and/or our finances. Whenever sparks fly between Venus and Uranus, it's not uncommon for instant attractions to occur which are fun while they last but tend to lack staying power. If an existing relationship has become boring or routine, this influence will make certain that you're aware of it, and if you're game, it will help you breathe new life into it. The downside of this aspect is that its impulsive nature often encourages rash decisions, which is why it often coincides with sudden breakups, as well as a significant number of impulse purchases. The key to working with this influence is to resist the impulse to make radical changes today, especially those that will cut people out of your life or drain your income. After the influence passes, if it turns out that it is time to cut someone lose, you'll be able to do so from an informed state of mind rather than on a whim. | | TRANSITING MERCURY IN CANCER | |
An intellectual in every sense of the word, Mercury filters the world through an analytical lens and experiences life through the head. In contrast, Cancer views the world through an intuitive lens and experiences life through the heart.
Odd bedfellows indeed, but instead of drowning in Cancer's emotional waters, Mercury holds his breath and adapts to it. Not only does this enable logic and emotion to co-exist, but it allows it to commingle.
And that's when the magic happens.
Because when the mind and the heart are united, it gives birth to intuition, compassion and empathy.
That's why whenever transiting Mercury is in Cancer, many of you experience an intuitive boost and/or heightened sensitivity.

Each year, Neptune not only embarks on a lengthy introspective journey, it invites you to come along on its reflective odyssey, and while you would do well to pass on some of this planet's invitations, this isn't one of them.
And that's because when Neptune floats backwards its bewildering influence is watered down, allowing you to see through its murky waters and discern between what is real and what is an illusion.
But it takes courage, because once you see the truth, it can't be unseen, at which point you can choose to go forward in clarity or live in denial.
If you choose clarity, you need to own and release your past bad judgment, misplaced faith and self-deceit. Fortunately, you can count on Neptune's forgiving nature to help you do so with compassion.
On the other hand, if you choose to live in denial, you will continue to be shielded by Neptune's haze until one day Saturn, Uranus or Pluto will force you to withdraw from your fantasies cold-turkey.
And there won't be a drop of compassion in sight.
