Mars into Cancer

When Mars moves into Cancer, we become super sensitive and protective. The great Durga and Kali energy that wants to protect those that are pure and innocent of heart at any cost. When Mars moves into Cancer, we are ferocious in a quiet way — aggressively nurturing, our actions led by our deepest emotions, beholden to our most intense of moods, for better or worse. But also, when Mars moves into Cancer, our grit turns into grace and beauty. The world sees our determination as illumination and we don’t allow our ambitions, drive and inner fire to get the better of our sentimental or caring nature.

During Mars in Cancer, you have permission to:

~ Explosively cry because you just feel like it
~ Integrate healing temper tantrums into your daily routine
~ Aggressively soak away your anger in a bathtub daily
~ Go surfing, boogie boarding or swimming in a vast lake
~ Protect and bless your house with salt
~ Wear some pearls as your power stone
~ Protect those you love but also teach them how to protect themselves
~ Enjoy yourself

Venus in Libra

Hello gorgeous. You flirt, you partner in love and light, you justice warrior, you creature of beauty and grace, you committed vacillator, you non-committal romantic, you shiny chaser and not-so-great-at-making decisions maker.

This is one of Venus’ favorite seasons (the other is Venus in Ta**us) because here Venus can be in her dignity and Venus in her dignity in Libra is a study in the magic of impracticality, reckless romanticism and shiny-happy syndrome. Venus in Libra is a time when we our hearts are so open, so free, so all enveloping, but in that, they are also very undefined. We may have a hard time deciding what we love, what we value and what kind of people we want in our lives, but that’s only because of an urge to weigh your options.

But we will definitely not have a problem just going with the flow and having fun during this transit!

During Venus in Libra, this is a time to:

〰 Glam yourself up - head to toe and back again. Experiment with a few new looks.
〰 Do heart-opening and clearing work because you’ll be right where you need to get that done.
〰 Let new love in — it can be any kind of love; a new friend, a new cat, a new Mercedes lol
〰 For those in relationship, come together, tackle those tough conversations, have the money talk, because harmony and diplomacy is on your side!
〰 Practice clear boundaries in practicing clear balance. Too much work will not make you happier; too much blah will not make you more rested. Both will give you anxiety. Find a happy medium.
〰 Money gives us resources, but it can also make us happy. If you are given an opportunity to make good money, take it!
〰 Dance, drink pink champagne, flirt unabashedly and have fun!

Sun in Virgo season is here.

Enjoy the fertile gold of a late afternoon, feeling healthy, wealthy and infinitely wise.

Enjoy the feeling of discovery, disentanglement, crisp morning dew, dazzling new rituals and routines that help you to feel wholesome and home in your body.

Enjoy healing as a passion, an art form and a way of life. Where the highest value is living sustainably rather than superficially.

Enjoy the aliveness of the critical and analytical mind; helping you feel nourished by simply understanding what was once a mystery.

Enjoy the feeling as night falls and all your tasks are done. Tucked in sweetly, mind at ease and body feeling wrung out in the best way.

Enjoy Virgo Season!

Eat some grains and greens and read thirty books and start a collection of vintage tea cups and pay your taxes.

🌾 VENUS IN VIRGO 🌾

The earth is beautiful, chaotic, magical and systematic.

Flowers are mathematical equations.
Trees are algorithms.
Oceans are designed by some Universal force.

Some sat science, some say God.

Venus in Virgo urges us to see the opulence in order.
Venus in Virgo beacons us to be of service to sustainable love.
Venus in Virgo requires our highest intelligence so we can see beauty not for what we want but what it is.

Linked to all good, wholesome and pure things.
Linked to all chaotic, fertile and wild things.

Venus in Virgo unveils the inner workings and we are even more amazed.

During Venus in Virgo, you have permission to:

🌾 Research and embrace slow fashion and green beauty
🌾 Whip up a plant-based feast and picnic in the middle of a meadow
🌾 Slow down the pace of a brand new love affair and talk about your future values and ethics
🌾 Strategize, analyze and ponder fertility as a concept - both creatively and biologically
🌾 Read nature-filled poetry
🌾 Cycle yourself with the eco-spirituality of the seasons

MERCURY IN VIRGO (July 25 - Sep 26)

Information is one of the most valuable resources we have in this world. But information is also tricky because it’s not material, it’s inherently biased and very dependent on the source.

Mercury in Virgo does what it can to alleviate the emotion behind information and goes straight to the facts. It makes a list and checks it at least three times. It researches all the possible options and doesn’t do anything without getting the message clear.

There’s a Mercury Rx during this period — so you’ll get multiple opportunities to work with this energy.

Mercury in Virgo is a great time to:
📍sit back and critically look at the messages you are receiving
📍get all your practical stuff sorted since you’ll probably have lots of motivation to organize!
📍 think about your mental health as your primary value and take care of that first and foremost
📍 refine your techniques of how you deal with anxiety
📍research first - Mercury in Virgo never spreads misinformation - they’d be too embarrassed to get it wrong!
📍Mercury in Virgo is in exaltation so enjoy the refined version of Mercury that has its s**t together and follow suit

☀️ Sun in Leo 🦁

This is where the heart opens and the sun shines in.

This is where the body vibrates at the frequency of radical joy.

This is where we find ourselves looking in the mirror and saying, “You’re doing amazing today.”

This is where we allow a little extravagance.

This is where the creativity we’ve been craving starts to trickle in.

This is where our meditations turn into manifestations.

This is where we let the shiniest parts of ourselves commune with the shiniest parts of others.

The shiny in me honors and recognizes the shiny in you.

During Leo Season, you don’t need permission to do anything. But a Leo loves to 🌟 MAXIMIZE 🌟 every moment so here’s some wild ideas:

☀️ Go to karaoke (or do it in your living room) and sing at least five songs.
☀️ Hand out compliment cards to everyone you that inspires you or makes you smile.
☀️ Tease your hair, wear it curly or just pay extra attention to it when you leave the house. You never know who’s admiring!
☀️ Invest in a good or all-natural sunblock and go commune with the midday sun. Take selfies with it.
☀️ Dance all day, all night and then into the early morning.
☀️ Teach, get on a stage or do something that frightens you or feels truly embarrassing. Once you’ve done it once, do it again and again.
☀️ Take lots of baths and cat naps
☀️ Enjoy life!

This Cancer season, we experience a unique phenomenon: two Full Moons in Capricorn! This particular Moon, at the potent degree of 29 and within decan 3, signifies a significant transition.

We’re leaving behind an old narrative and stepping into a new one, ready to be written. This feels almost like a passing of the torch, with the grounded energy of Capricorn giving way to the revolutionary spirit of Aquarius.

This Moon carries an undeniable intensity. It emphasizes evolution over stagnation. We might witness established systems in our lives begin to crumble or transform, with new leadership or rules taking their place.

But remember, this doesn’t necessitate abandoning the wisdom of our elders.

Change is an ancient and essential process. Every generation experiences profound shifts, and these lessons transcend lifetimes. We can learn from our ancestors, then transform those lessons into our own stories of growth and change.

The path to becoming a leader and authority in your own life lies in understanding the wisdom of those who came before you. It’s about honoring their knowledge while embracing the opportunity to shape a positive future.

What messages do your elders have for you? Look deeper by reading your SUN and RISING signs for personalized insights.

ARE YOU READY TO BE INTIATED INTO YOUR MOST AUTHENTIC SELF? 

Yesterday, Mars in Ta**us made an electric conjunction with Uranus in Ta**us. We are still in the afterglow of that exact, especially as today’s late-degree Moon in Scorpio opposes this energy, initiating a transformation that, perhaps, feels a little uncomfortable.  Transformation sometimes feels like a vague, almost abstract concept. Ta**us works directly on the soma, or body, in that we can feel this energy in the most sensory and embodied way. 

Perhaps you’ve been especially hungry or felt tension in your body. Maybe you’ve been clearing your throat more or are restless in moving or taking action.

Something is calling to you, but this spirit of conflict and chaos permeates everything. That’s your sign to slow down, take a beat, and feel this aspect working through your body.

What have you been feeling the last few days?
What message are you getting from this feeling? 

Every sign has ways they thrive in action and ways they cultivate authenticity. Check out yours, and also look at your rising sign. If you’re feeling like going deeper, consider your natal Mars and Uranus as well.

VENUS IN LEO

The heart is the keyword with this transit as Leo rules it. If you aren’t comfortable being the center of attention then perhaps take this time to become more comfortable in your heart space and to cultivate a richer, deeper self-love practice for yourself. Breathe from your heart, talk from your heart, sing from your heart, move from your heart. Let the heart just unfold itself however it can. Take the steps to move out of the rational mind — which doesn’t particularly care about your feelings sometimes, let’s be honest. Your heart and body will always hold you closer; your nervous and circulatory system always works to protect you with the ferocity of a lion, even if you mind is telling you something else.

This is also a good time to get in touch with the most grandiose of emotional expression inside of you. Think big. What is a big feeling you are holding onto? Can you release it from the heart wall if it’s all clenched up there? It doesn’t have to be a negative emotion. Sometimes we hold onto big joys for fear of flaunting our good luck or our nice lives. Venus in Leo knows that she deserves good things; there’s just no other way to be.

During Venus in Leo, bring your heart into the spotlight and:

🦁Get a crush…on yourself! Others are cool, but this season is all about you loving YOU!
🦁 Wear something flashy, loud, wild or sexy. Preferably all those things at once.
🦁 The bigger the hair, the closer to the stars.
🦁Infuse everything you own or touch or see with love. Your morning coffee, “I LOVE YOU.” Your morning commute, “I LOVE YOU EVEN MORE.”
🦁Be generous with your time if someone needs a little bit of your special sauce.
🦁Accept that you are impossible not to love, even more so if you have shadow aspects.
🦁 Practice making yourself the center of attention; then get used to it and enjoy it.
🦁 Dare greatly and say yes if it feels good. Say no even if it doesn’t feel bad but if it feels meh. Meh is not acceptable.
🦁 Strength-training and long prowls make all the difference for your heart.
🦁 Enjoy life! Have fun!
