SUN IN CANCER ON JUNE 22, 2017

An Astrological Sun sign, by definition, is descriptive of our most inner self.  Some of the more gentle or subdued Sun signs can be highly influenced by other stronger factors in the chart.  This could include several planets often linked by a Stellium in one house other than the house ruled by the Sun sign.  Another example is a powerful rising sign which is enforced by many aspects from other planets.  To a lesser extent, modalities, elements and an emphasis in different house segments can also dilute the Sun Sign characteristics.  This is why some people do not have a powerful identification with their Sun sign although the Sun sign usually identifies us rather well deep within.

On June 22, this year (2017) the Sun will enter the sign of Cancer.

Those with the Sun in Cancer are clearly identified by their emotional state, which is subject to change depending upon outside circumstances.  One day they can be uplifting and emotionally secure and the next day they may appear emotionally upset and moody.  It is important that these highly sensitive individuals understand that their emotions are affected by their surroundings.  Cancer individuals must always have a place of comfort and peace to return to after a day of interaction with the world.

Most Cancer people are sensitive to the needs of others as well as their own person needs.  They are protective of others and their own emotions and will fight for the underdog or those who are wronged.  When confronted, they often hide behind a wall of security which to others may seem hard to penetrate.  Cancer individual’s emotions are actually sensitive to criticism and many Cancer individuals hold on to these comments for a long time.  They are “feeling” people and feel everything intensely.  Because of this, they protect themselves accordingly.

Those with strong Cancer tendencies are nurturing to family and also those that could be considered family.  Many are avid cooks and enjoy entertaining those individuals that have a close place in their heart.  Some are talkative, especially if they have a strong Venus or Gemini character traits in their chart, but many are somewhat subdues, preferring to listen rather than participate.  Much depends on the overall astrological chart’s condition.

As mentioned, Cancer’s need a private place where they can recharge their emotional batteries, and their home has to reflect this.  Many will have their home decorated in soft colours and filled with articles that hold memories as they can be attached to the past.  Family, children and close friends are important to them.  They care deeply and will work tirelessly to keep these people in their lives, but if emotionally hurt by them, Cancer individuals can resort to letting them go from their lives, especially if they are emotionally hurt repetitively. 

If there are other factors in the chart, such as an emphasis in water, or a Grand Water Trine, or a close contact between Neptune and Pluto, these individuals often has psychic tendencies.  Some become intuitive or are born with some traits links to the supernatural. 

Cancer individuals can provide services offering assistance to those in their times of need.  They feel out situations and are highly susceptible to outside influences.  As a result, Cancer people will have to be careful not to take on energies of others while attempting to help them.

SUMMER SOLSTICE 2017

We will be celebrating the summer solstice on June 21, 2017 in the Northern hemisphere.  This powerful solar energy serves to recharge our spirits, minds and bodies.

All things are energy and this energy is interconnected.  Some of us are quite aware of these influential external energies and others, are not.  With or without this awareness, all living things are affected by the position of the planets at their birth, by the continual movement of the planets, by the influence of the rotation of our earth including the changing seasons and any other shifts that occur in nature. 

When guided by spirit/our higher selves (call it what you may), our focus is to walk and live our truth, during the easy times but especially during the times that we are being tested or taught.  Take advantage of the strong solar energies of the Summer Solstice to push forward with this focus.  Use the more aggressive energies of the Sun to catapult forward and allow yourself to bloom into your own true creation.  As with the Sun current at its fullest potential for our earthly position, you too can allow all of your inner power and beauty to radiate out.  This expresses your true self but also benefits each and every other living thing that your energy touches.

What a glorious time of year.  Allow yourself to mirror the seasons.  We have just experienced a season of wonderful renewal.  We have worked hard to create buds of promise.  Now is the time to allow those buds to open and to eventually bear the fruit of our efforts but also to allow all other living things to see and experience this beauty and to eventually share our fruits. 

Happy Summer Solstice!

TRANSITING NEPTUNE TRINE NATAL MOON

Neptune is currently in the sign of Pisces.  In order to have a trine to your natal Moon, you would have to have your Moon in one of the other water signs, (Cancer or Scorpio).  Trines are considered a major aspect and most Astrologers give the trine a ten degree orb of influence.  That being said, transiting Neptune has been and will be between 9 to 14 degrees Pisces this year (2017), so you can see the range encompasses most of Cancer and Scorpio.  As Neptune draws ever nearer to your Moon sign’s position, it will intensify in strength.  If you have Neptune in the later degrees, the transit of Neptune will only intensify over the coming years.  Neptune moves slowly and generally covers less than two degrees per year.

Neptune, in its own sign, suggests that opportunities for growth in spiritual endeavours are increased and Neptune is quite comfortable in its own sign.  The psychic realms can become enhanced for those seeking this area of life.  Neptune is spiritual, mystical and very intuitive, often enhancing clairvoyant abilities, inspirational dreams, visions and increased connections to the other side.  Neptune has been in the sign of Pisces since 2012 and will continue to be in this sign into the year 2025.  As a result, its influence will be quite significant for this earthly cycle and will touch all Astrology charts through transit in one way or another.

For those with their Moon in Cancer or Scorpio, as mentioned, Neptune will be in trine to this lunar position.  The Moon coupled with Neptune gives way to sensitivities particularly to the feelings of those around you.  You may find that you pick up on the feelings of those around you and intuitively understand what is transpiring in their lives on an emotional level.  You may even be able to pick up on some of their thoughts and emotions and can help them unconsciously or consciously with some of the things that they are going through.  You will “feel” in very powerful ways during this transit and must watch out for taking on other people’s experiences and making them your own.  As time passes, you will become more adept at understanding what is coming from you and what is coming from others.

You compassionate nature is greatly enhanced and you truly want to be of assistance.  Insure that your own life is in order before you take on the weight of the world. 

The Moon is strongly connected to your mothering nature especially those with their Moon in Cancer.  You will want to protect, nurture and take care of those that have emotional connections to you.  This could include family members or the greater whole of humanity itself, as you understand, especially during this Neptune cycle, that we are all part of the whole and what affects one affect all.

Neptune tends to be somewhat illusive although in its own sign what you feel is much more reliable.  With the influence of the trine and even with the sextile, you can rely on your intuition to guide you.  With the square or opposition, you will have to rationalize your feelings and try to make common sense out of situations.  Your feelings can be accurate but make sure you take the time to figure things out.  Neptune can be deceiving although the trine is open and usually honest and life opens up in ways that it may never had previous to this influence.

We all have psychic abilities.  Some people may have been experiencing dormancy with these areas in their lives up until now.  This may be the time for things to unfold at a much more rapid pace.  For those that have not invested much time in the occult or spirituality, this may be a good time to explore.  The door is wide open especially for those that have this trine in their charts at present or coming up in the near future.

TRANSITING URANUS SQUARE NATAL MERCURY

Transiting Uranus’ (current location) impact on Natal Mercury (Mercury location when you were born) could be described as

1.  sudden flashes of intuitive insight;

2.  inspiration at its best; and

3.  erratic mental conceptions based on belief structures that are impulsive and irrational at its worst.

Mercury on its own, as mentioned in previous posts, does very little.  It needs the energies of other influences in order to be stimulated. 

The square between Uranus and Mercury brings into focus the need for rational thinking and mental action.  It is best to familiarize yourself with the mind’s perception of what is taking place in your life.

Although the mind will be stimulated with new and unusual concepts, it is easy to become confused because of the erratic nature and speed at which these ideas come into focus when Uranus is involved.  It is best to view these ideas from all angles and not to jump into situations or be speculative before you truly understand what is being presented to you.

Uranus currently is in Aries which brings forth much impulsiveness and if your Mercury is square to Mercury, this would suggest that you either have your Mercury in Cancer or Capricorn (in your birth chart).  Those with their Mercury in Cancer could be led astray during this transit by their emotions.  Rationalizing emotions with this placement can be very difficult.  Often the emotions are not based on what could be considered rational or thought-out behaviours.  The emotions come from within and intuition would serve these individuals more favourably than trying to analyse their thoughts and emotions. 

Those individuals with their Mercury in Capricorn would do much better with rationalization and thought out behaviours.  Mercury in Capricorn individuals, in general, would be able through careful reflection to come to a viable conclusion to anything that might be troubling them.

With this aspect, these individuals are likely to feel emotionally nervous and conscious of the impulses taking place in their lives.  They may feel the need to make sudden changes in order to break free of anything that seems to be holding them back or stopping them from growing through experience.  The lessons learned during this transit can be rather tumultuous and unsettling but will often present these individuals with different viewpoints and ways of handling the situation at hand.  Other people may challenge these individual’s concepts during this period as in the eyes of others these individuals with this aspect may be behaving irrational or without forethought.  It is suggested to those with this aspect to listen to the information that others are offering to them.  Impulsive behaviour is common under these conditions.  These individuals with this aspect may make mistakes that could otherwise be avoided if they take the time to listen to what others were trying to tell them.

They should aim to take things one step at a time and not to rush into situations.  The best results will come about when they are thinking rationally about the situation and make adjustments accordingly.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND CARING

I wanted to take a moment to let everyone know that life is getting back to normal and I am ready to move forward with my on Astrology charts and Oracle readings once again (although I never really stopped completely during the healing process). 

I certainly did need some healing time and energy work.  The outpouring of love, compassion and healing energy shared was felt deeply and appreciated.  It is wonderful to see how people come together during times of need.  So many of you have shown your true BEAUTIFUL colours to me over the past couple of months. 

Remember to stay true to your own needs as well --self-healing and unconditional love towards self.  Giving without measure is a gift which is meant to be shared not only with others but most certainly with self.

Again, thank you everyone and I wish you all well!

Peter.

TRANSITING PLUTO OPPOSITION NATAL MOON

Transiting Pluto, which moves roughly one degree a year, is moving through the sign of Capricorn.  In the year 2017 Pluto can be found between 16 to 19 degrees of Capricorn.  If you allow yourself approximately five degrees when Pluto is approaching (11 to 14 degrees Capricorn) and two degree separating, so up to and including 21 to 22 degrees Capricorn and if your Natal Moon is in the sensitive sign of Cancer, you will be experiencing an opposition between transiting Pluto and your natal Moon. 

The Moon can identify your reigning need in life.  It is indicative of what makes up your emotional makeup and is an indicator of your emotional response to life’s situations.  In Cancer there is a genuine need to provide emotional support particularly to family members and close friends.  There are mothering qualities linked to your emotional being and a protective wall that you offer when those near and dear to you need your emotional support.  This is particularly true when it comes to your children and parents, as well as your brothers and sisters.  If connected to the fourth house in your chart and strong in the sign of Cancer, you may find that you offer this support in your home environment.  If in the second house you will provide the family with emotional support through security measures.  If in the sixth house you may provide them with support through health matters or through critiquing their moves in life offering some form of support through disciplined action.

The natal Moon in Cancer makes you very sensitive to emotional upheavals and when your own emotional life is challenged, you may wish to withdraw or not to deal with these matters.  The sensitivities are extreme and you feel what others feel.  Many Moon in Cancer individual develop psychic abilities especially if there are other links suggesting this in the birth chart.  You instinctively feel what is going on around you and can be a helping hand for those going through trauma as long as you learn not to take on the energies and make them your own.

Pluto is all about regeneration, transformation, potential confrontation, and the ability to change what needs changing after careful and honest review.  Pluto’s action is slow and deliberate, and you cannot avoid its confrontational and transformative energies.  Pluto is a powerful force in Astrology and constitutes action where it is needed.  When connected to other planets through the opposition (the Moon in this post), often times other people will be involved and possibility the effects on you will be through their actions.  Pluto’s actions are inevitable.

Pluto often speaks in terms of power struggles and in opposition this will be connected to other people.  Often confrontations are likely and one or both sides will try to control or manipulate the other.  If you are coming from the right place, things will still seem disrupted but there is greater potential for the resolution to work out perhaps in your favour.  Any preconceived notions that you will be able to dictate will most likely cause much disruption and ego disputes.  These arguments may stem from your lover or your children or even other family members.  Sometimes it is through women that these issues arise or the problem may involve women, even the mother (indicated by the Moon).

From an internal point of view, this transit can signify great internal struggles and could stem from earlier in your life.  You may find that issues that you thought you had dealt with now surface and will need to be faced and acted on, once and for all.  This is Pluto’s purpose-- to bring up any unfinished business that needs dealing with so that you can move forward in life.  Often you will get gentle nudges in the beginning to change something or move through a difficulty.  Later, if you did nothing originally, the energies that are stirred up can become much more aggressive.  You must act on what is taking place in your life or Pluto will almost always make things much more difficult and will ensure that the issues are faced. 

If the emotional problems are too intense then this is a good time to seek professional advice that will help you understand the process and help you deal with the issues.  The answers to life’s dilemmas are always found within and although others can help you activate the energies to work through the problem, you ultimately do what must be done.  When Pluto has passed through this area, your life will have gone through some changes that have been required for a long time.
