Quality over Quantity: Mercury Moves into Cancer

-

 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. 

Cancer is the sign typically associated with the home, body and cycles, encouraging us to care for ourselves before caring for others. With Mercury transiting this sign we are learning to care for our mental health and personal wellbeing so we may better care for the people closest to us.

Take time to journal your experience over the next couple of weeks to track your moods and mental state. This is best done first thing in the morning and right before bed. Once per day minimum.

The reason for this important practice is because the more often we "check in" with ourselves, the less often we react to things while mentally "checked out".

We also are preparing for the Full Moon in Capricorn coming up next week, early Monday morning, after the Sun and Mercury conjunction hits Friday the 30th. This makes the theme of this week:

"I think, therefore I am." 

Observe your thoughts as you journal and focus on what and who you would like and choose to BE.

We are not defined by our thoughts, however, our thoughts often become our actions and our actions become our habits and our habits become our character. 

This makes it essential to choose wisely the thoughts you water and the weeds you pull so the garden of your mind is tended to with care.

Wishing you love, light, peace, prosperity and abundance my friends. Take care!

Slow Down and Smell the Damn Roses with this New Moon in Taurus

            There's no better time than right now to take a moment to slow down and check in with where you're at and where you are heading. How long have you been driving on auto-pilot? Are you even heading to where you set out to go, or are you just taking the familiar path home and to work?      Although it might feel like things are busier than ever, or there's this growing pressure building whenever you think ahead, now is truly the time to take a moment and rest in order to re-align and focus on the task at hand. Maybe you're like me and you've been focusing on too many things at once, getting lost in your to-do list or avoiding it all together. Or maybe you're not a master procrastinator like me, and just need a little water break to refuel your tanks and keep going.  Whatever it is you need to do, take a moment to prepare before taking action. Don't just keep doing whatever you've been doing if it isn't working or building t...

Navigating the Eclipse in Virgo

-

        As this summer wanes and we come to the end of Virgo season, the winds of change are cool and brisk, ready to sweep away old stagnancy creating space for new growth and abundance. This partial solar eclipse in Virgo on Sunday caps the end of the season before the sun moves into Libra and the new chapter of autumn officially begins, perhaps with some big shocks and surprises.    Solar eclipses are often described as, not just an ordinary new beginning, but more of a physical portal or super significant shift into a brand new direction or phase of life. With Virgo being an earth sign ruled by Mercury, this eclipse is thrusting us into a new timeline with situations that will have us evaluating and analyzing where we are and where we want to go as well as how we may have found ourselves here. Not only that but who is in the driver's seat of your life and what or who are you allowing to guide you ?   The key right now is to use ...

The Power of Passion, Courage and Vulnerability: Mars transit back into Leo

-
Image
 The question that comes to my mind when I think of this planet Mars, that represents action, passion and conflict, moving from watery Cancer into the fire sign Leo today is, " What was I running from and what  am I really fighting for?"       Since this transit is occurring after Mars moved from 6 degrees Leo back to 17 degrees Cancer in it's retrograde it represents the energetic rebirth that comes from reflecting and facing our feelings and patterns with the healing rays of love and honesty. It's realizing the power that comes with being vulnerable enough to change and still face all of ourselves in the mirror with love, choosing courageously to bear our heart and take action to protect what we whole heartedly believe in.      While in Cancer Mars was in what's known as its fall and is considered debilitated. While Mars is in retrograde it's a good idea to take time to reflect and review the areas of our lives we are noticing conflict...
