The Sun moves out of Gemini and into Cancer.

Venus in Leo opposes Mars in Aquarius.

Welcome to Cancer season yay! The Sun enters the intuitive, domestic and nurturing sign of Cancer. Shifting us from  air to water energy. Today also marks the winter solstice. With the Sun in Cancer you will find that you are more focused on relationships and those who are the closet to you. Trust, turning inwards, home and family life will be highlighted this month.

Venus in Leo opposes Mars in Aquarius. this opposition only happens once a year. Venus and  Mars are sitting 180 degrees from each other. Venus energy is very feminine and Mars energy is very masculine, and as they oppose each other today you will feel that you may long for the either one or the others energy in your life. Whenever they aspect each other the potential for creativity, fertility and romance are high. This yin and yang energy is also great for sudden break through… especially when it comes to business and travel adventures. Launch that website, ask for a pay rise, book those tickets, make your big plans happen or just get things started at least with the Venus and Mars energy sitting so far away from each other ( As much as they are against each other today) they will eventually join up where they belong and create something new.  However this opposition will cause friction and you may find it hard to appreciate what you have especially as you keep looking over your shoulder for what you think you would prefer or always telling yourself something better will be coming along. Balance of the male and female energy is key today and appreciating the life you have!

I want to take this opportunity as a Cancer to clear up a misunderstanding I often see expressed about us Cancer’s. Everyone seems to know that Cancer is sensitive, moody, nurturing and tender. However, do not mistake our kindness for weakness or our  sensitivity at that.  Please, make no mistake, Cancer is a powerful sign in its own right! The worst thing you could ever do is take the trusting and forgiving nature of Cancer and abuse your power, we have crab claw’s for a reason and we are very in tune when we think something doesn’t sit right. Think of Cancer as the nurturing mother bear! Don’t ever mess with mamma bear Cancer especially if you assume she will not strike back!

Over the coming month it is a time to focus on home, family, emotions, inner experience and our connection to the Divine Mother.While the Sun is in Cancer, you may feel more drawn inwards, you may focus more on building deep roots and a sense of belonging. As your attention is drawn inward to your domestic life. Enjoy the more gentle, intuitive nature of this sign.

 

Have a great day!

The Sun enters Capricorn, so Allow Stress to Roll off Your Back.

The Sun moves out of Sagittarius and into Capricorn

The Moon moves into Aquarius.

the Sun’s forms an alignment with Saturn.

The Sun entered Capricorn today. the Sun’s forms an alignment with Saturn (also in Capricorn). It is asking us to get serious. Saturn is the planet of lessons and hard work so if things get tough just allow stress to roll off your back.

Now that the Sun is in Capricorn, it marks for us down under (the southern hemisphere) the summer solstice/litha and the winter solstice and yule in the northern hemisphere.

Capricorn’s are the type that keep their  feet-on-the-ground. They are focused, especially when reaching a work stats and goal.  This month, expect to keep your eye-on-the-prize. With Sun in Capricorn we become more realistic, this earth grounded signs approach to life is by working hard and playing hard. The Capricorn Sun energy will give us ideas on how to do things, and how to get things done. This month use the Capricorn energy to make something and your self worthwhile.

When the Sun is in Capricorn, our attention and focus is on hard work. We start to become authoritative and more disciplined and responsible. Capricorn is represented by the Goat, who no matter what condition is thrown their way or how hard the journey is to the top of the mountain, they will reach it no matter what. Capricorn energy really helps us cut the fluff , the maybe’s, the airy fairy and wishy-washy out of our life. Capricorn makes us focus on the important things that contribute positively in our world. Capricorn energy helps us to decide what we want to build in our lives. It gives you a solid foundation of power, ambition a drive  to work hard and build your futures.

However, as above as below. Everything has a polar opposite. The shadow side of this sign is that we must watch out for being overly controlling, hard, emotionally repressed and cold, reserved, unforgiving, unsympathetic, rigid and to much of a  perfectionist.

This serious energy is very much welcomed in my eyes, as we can welcome some discipline into our lives. I know I surely need a good shape up or a good clip around the cosmic ear as of late. This is also a great time for working on a revised plan for creating order in your life, personal, work, business and daily routines even sorting out the pantry.

The Moon leaves hard-working, responsible Capricorn behind to enter innovative, free-spirited , humanitarian Aquarius.You are able to see the bigger picture now, without getting stuck in your own personal narrative and work needs. You may notice that you are not as attached to your own emotions, personal outcomes and gains and more about the collective. You are able to be more objective regarding situations and circumstances you find yourself in.

The Aquarius Moon is understanding and compassionate towards others, you may start to think outside the box or what society calls “Normal”.

Remember it’s not to late to write your new moon wishes! Get manifesting. I you are not sure how click below to help you along the way.
