The Sun Enters Cancer and Solstice Bonds

Desire, optimism, collaboration and continuity are all themes coursing through. Whether one feels seen in their value, vision and hunger, and a hope that bonds in the matrices of life will continue to strengthen once again. Where a person is at, and what relational dynamics stand to test this, will be deepening themes in the coming days.

Reflections on Mars in Cancer and the Lion's Visage

The dark moon is in Cancer, passing yesterday’s sextile to Mercury in Virgo and opposing Pluto in Capricorn later this morning.  Mars has made fresh entry to Leo, and Venus retrograde in Leo continues her square to Saturn at Scorpio’s end.  Jupiter is separating from his conjunction with Venus in the sign of the Lion, entering Virgo to join Mercury.

With the Sun in late Capricorn, the enthronement of one’s psyche and earthly poise over personal ‘kingdoms’ is emphasized in rooted footsteps.

Tectonic shifts, erupting anger at each injustice, every unforgettable sorrow — and blood still seeping around the ephemeral foundations of political fortresses and the real masked faces adorning them.

To Move and Mire in Midair

​Mars! Ruler of Aries! Planet of willful assertion and forceful action!  Combative and courageous.  You know, ‘Ares, the god of war.’  This solid orb entered the protective, ‘sweet yet instigating’ and territorial waters of Cancer on June 4th.

Sun Rays, Whirlpool and Watershed

The word “emergence” always lingers with me when Cancer yields to Leo.
