Today the Sun and the Moon meet and nestle together in the sky at 1:25 am July 16, 2015 in the sign of Cancer. This sign represents the archetype of the mother and the qualities of warm, holding, nurturing love and containment. It is about connecting to our personal inner world, our intimate feelings and imagination. It has to do with our 'nest', our home, our 'family'. Having a place where we feel at home and can rest and revitalize ourselves after a long day out in the world/at work. It relates to that group of people with whom we share a sense of belonging, whom we care for and who care for us.
Yet, at the same time as this lovely, caring new moon is taking place, there is a powerhouse of alignments in the sky that are activating other archetypes.
And all this coincides with the Pluto flyby this week!
Here is a lovely pic of Pluto and notice the heart shape - so beautiful, and yet, with Pluto it can be #tough love or #transformational love or just as we usually say, having to #face the shadow aspects to move forward in love and evolve!
Yet Pluto in Capricorn is opposing this combo of 4 planets in Cancer, making this a time where high emotional intensity can rise very easily at the same time that there exists the potential for deep plutonic passions to be unleashed.
Uranus the planet of the unexpected, sudden changes and new breakthroughs is also implicated in this configuration and can be felt by some as if they were on a roller coaster type of adventure and by others as feeling terrified, life is too fast paced, butterflies in the stomach all the time, or you may feel a sort of electricity buzzing through your body and keeping you awake all night!
Jupiter and Venus continue their journey together in the sky in the sign of Leo, making for the expansion of love vibes during all this month and representing the qualities of experiencing joy and love and romantic intimacy. And Jupiter and Venus are now making and exact square (hard aspect) to Saturn (responsibility, real world structures). Saturn's archetype reminds us to 'stay real' and work at our relationships, and to trust that some things take 'time' to heal.
As always this is a summary of the archetypes at play and then you must look at your chart and study how it applies to you individually.
To end I would say that, looking at the dance between Jupiter and Saturn in the sky happening at this moment, this is a time to trust in (Jupiter) and take responsibility for (Saturn), our dreams, plans, ideas - if we trust and work hard, it may take some time, but we have a good chance to 'make it happen'.
Thanks and that's all for now!
