Good Morning,

Today the Moon is in Cancer. The Scorpionic waters have been churning our emotions and experiences. With the Moon in the first Water sign of Cancer, we can invite some nurturing to ourselves and others. The ‘Empress’ card from the Voyager Tarot selected today speaks to the energy of Cancer. “The Empress symbolizes the law of preservation…she represents your responsibility to maintain and guard the seed-essence of life so that is can eternally flower…As Empress, you are the mother…You are a nurturer, a provider, and a giver…You possess unconditional love for all of life’s creations…you embrace life compassionately and non-judgmentally…You are home and healer, center and synthesizer, abundant and earthy…You can turn these qualities, however, into those of a sedentary, home bound, possessive, smothering mother.” We may be feeling a deeper connection to what provides nurturing in our lives. Cancer energy is a receptive energy motivated by the instinct to protect. Being true to what we feel while avoiding the need to make sure others ‘feel good’ at our expense is important. The ‘Innocence’ card from the Power Deck chosen today adds to this concept: “To live in a civilization, at a very young age, we become like sheep trying to fit in with the crowd. To maintain your receptive innocence is to listen to your own inner voice. Know that the powers of the universe are within you.”

Today the Moon in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces until 5:13pm (MST). This energy will allow us to respond to life with a compassionate and nurturing approach. Neptune in Pisces helps us to transcend attachment while Moon in Cancer allows us to offer emotional support. This is a soft energy; allowing us to truly embrace ‘what is’ while expressing our intuition. This could be a good time to discuss what we feel as Neptune will help soften the more sensitive Cancerian edges of emotion.

The Moon in Cancer opposes Pluto in Capricorn for the remainder of the night. We may find the need to defend our feelings in relationship; even at the expense of change. Moon in Cancer feels deeply while Pluto in Capricorn transforms through death and regeneration. Our feelings can take on an emotionally penetrating quality. Avoid manipulation based in fear of change and choose to get to the Truth of matters. If things must change, embrace it and move forward.

Mercury and Jupiter conjunct today in late degrees of Scorpio. This energy will bring some relief and optimism from the extra heavy Scorpionic times we have been navigating. Jupiter wants to expand our horizons thorough new opportunities, experiences, knowledge and understanding while Mercury thinks and communicates. We may have new ideas about our paths forward but, more specifically, understanding about integrating our shadow or what our true desires are. Even though Jupiter ultimately wants to bring prosperity and growth, in the sign of Scorpio, this may happen through deep transformation of ourselves and our relationships with others.

Be well,
