 From today until July 10th, Mercury, the planet of communication and information, will be transiting through sensitive Cancer after the last couple weeks in sociable Gemini. We will be listening and speaking more instinctively during this time with less interest in universal things and more interest in what affects us and those around us on a personal level.  Since Cancer is ruled by the moon which represents our moods and emotions, our thoughts will be more colored by our feelings at this time making it a challenge to think objectively. This is a great time to get more serious about your meditation practice and really evaluate the quality of your thoughts. As we build a better relationship with our mind, we gain more clarity and control over our emotions as well. You will see over the next couple weeks how intimately connected our thoughts and feelings really are. This knowledge could lead to a beautiful transformation about how we feel and care for our mental wellbeing....

The moon transiting Virgo after the last few days in Leo alongside Venus and Mars, we likely feel in resistant to our duties and responsibilities. Especially with Saturn in Pisces we may be quite prone to escapism while duty calls. Despite recently taking more pride in our work, there’s still a lot of tension coming up when we face change, our ego and attachments being tested. Will we project our feelings out in an effort to control the people around us or can we face our problems and duties critically with careful and steady progress like Uranus in Taurus has been teaching us? The planet of change has been moving through slow and steady Taurus for a few years now and her rebellious nature is being activated with the squares to Venus and Mars in prideful Leo. Take pride in being a disruption when what you’re doing pleases your heart without harming another. This reminds me of the story of Ferdinand the bull and how he is a disruptive, peace loving bull who wants to just smell the flowe...

The all powerful giant Jupiter is transiting Taurus now hitting an exact sextile to Saturn who is currently back peddling through Pisces. This can look like limitations, or perceived boundaries, moving to meet our personal growth and opportunity. I’ve seen abundant blessing showing up for me personally as more ease when pushing past my limits. There’s been a growing awareness in my life that is both a blessing and a curse. To fully recognize my obstacles is difficult and painful, especially when those obstacles are my own emotions and illusions. Reflecting back on the patterns these mental limitations have created in my life makes me grieve the fantasies I’ve held close to my heart. They are the same things that got me through the most difficult times of my life. But, “what got me here will not get me there.” To me this transit is the result of releasing the victim mentality we see often glamorized in media. When we acknowledge and learn from that habit of victimization, we can unders...
