A call to Compassion - BitchScopes for the week of June 8th

Neptune is King this week. These are just a couple of the transits this week, there’s always infinite numbers of aspects going on and everyone’s chart is different. But this week, it’s clear who is in charge, and that it will be a mushy time.

June 11th: Sun in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces

Sun square Neptune transit has a draining and “lazy-fying” effect. Motivation may be scarce. Depression and feelings of insecurity are possible. Things, events or people can cause confusion and disappointment. Honesty in an over the top way is well advised right now.

June 13th: Mars conjunct Neptune in Pisces

Mars is awkward here, and may get a little romance-drunk. That’s not a super effective mood for the warrior planet. Your desire for spirituality could be activated. More desire to chase your dreams is possible as well. Watch for delusion and escapist tendencies which could have consequences (drunk driving, unsafe sex etc).

Neptune rules the 12th house and the sign of Pisces. In the realm of Neptune, all is water. All water touches other water and becomes the same water. A drop of water is indistinguishable among other drops of water. That is why the 12th house is the collective unconscious, the collective shadow, the place of oneness and the place of isolation. We are all connected. We can choose to see and feel that, or we can choose to remain isolated, which is just an illusion because no one is ever really isolated. We all came from the same star dust. But in that collective where we are all touching, it is also hard to tell what is real. There are no boundaries and there is no truth. Everything is gray.

So it isn’t a week to try to create black or white out of gray. It isn’t a week to try to create solutions. We have to individually and collectively look at the problems first. And to do that, we must feel. And that sucks. But we need to FEEL more than DO do right now. There’s plenty to do, for sure. But I think it's really important that we feel everything right now, and it's very uncomfortable. Being a light worker doesn’t mean you get a free pass from feeling hard things. It doesn’t mean you get to float above the pain and just be a light fluffy angelic being. We incarnated as humans to make a difference, and we can not do that without being among the pain.

Neptune clouds our thinking and communications, as well as our actions this week. These Neptunian influences will make us feel tired, groggy, unclear, lazy, romantic, delusional. So while we are feeling so much passion to change the world, I feel like this is yet another message that we need to be still and listen. Really listen. Not just to your own voice, but to others’ voices. Let's not pretend we have all the answers. Compassion is the business of this week.

ARIES - you may find yourself uncomfortable this week, confronted by too many feelings, not enough action, and truths that you don’t want to accept. You will need to be conscious about finding some inner peace. You may find you need to pay some attention to life’s more annoying details as well...bills, repairs, things like that. Your drive to succeed in your career has not waned a bit, and the stars are still behind you. March ahead, little badass.

TAURUS - people may look to you for comfort and it may be hard to find it. But your literal presence may bring comfort to some, so avail yourself to those close to you. This may mean tolerating some of your nearest and dearest’s minor dramas, but the good news is, it is likely to be somewhat comical. If you’re able to focus on work, you should find a good flow this week.

GEMINI - Your voice matters more than ever. But you must also be aware of how you spend your energy and who you say yes to. You may receive a bolt of inspiration or chunk of knowledge that validates something within you. Don’t filter your creativity this week, as it could point you toward much success, and enlighten some people along the way.

CANCER - As the mother archetype for the whole zodiac, your heart will be aching as you feel everyone this week. You may feel somewhat drained. Focus on your closest relationships, and remove anything from you schedule that feels burdensome or makes you anxious...you won’t get it done the way you’d like right now anyway. Focus on receiving, if you can.

LEO - Dream a little dream, pussycat. This week, look at some of the things you’ve let go that maybe you didn’t want to...plans, dreams, aspirations, ideas for time travel, etc.    Do a Mari Kondo and hold those ideas to your heart and see if they still spark joy. Joy is the breadcrumb path for you to follow. And romance is a strong vibe this week and next for you.

VIRGO - A sense of relief may show up this week, as you receive some kind of news you were anticipating or hoping for. You’ll be happy to have some time with friends and to enjoy some leisure activities. This surprising respite may inspire you to approach your daily work routine with a new focus on yourself.

LIBRA -The energy out in the world is very upsetting to you, and you may feel very pained by it. You may feel frustrated by things not going to plan, and feel sad in general. This sensitivity can be soothed with some sweetness in the form of romance, or even a little nature. Professional or career news may come this week as well. Get all the info before leaping into gear.

SCORPIO - Important connections this week could lead to great opportunities. But don’t get hung up on the material aspects of things. You know as well as anyone that the satisfaction of stuff is less than the satisfaction of depth. Play is the goal for this week. Pursue love and romantic ideas, rather than linear plans and order. A little chaos is healthy (said the Aquarius author).

SAGITTARIUS - Do something for yourself this week. No, really. Buy yourself something. The money is going to show up for you and then some. Conversations could be lively but could also trigger your into an argument. But now, more than ever, conserve your energy and don’t get drawn into a pointless battle of wills (or worse yet, wits, because the other party will lose...so why bother?). Make your home a true sanctuary, and be aware of not just the stuff that makes it beautiful, but the energy that you allow in.

CAPRICORN - One of your major goals could experience some minor challenges this week, but in the solving of this problem (which you will do), you may discover something that benefits progress a great deal. A recent small project has the potential to bloom into something more. But with all of this success on the horizon, its important that you think with your heart as well.

AQUARIUS - Focus will be important this week, and you may be easily distracted. A family disagreement might chafe you, but lean in to your more harmonious relationships for solace and peace. Love is the salve. But back to that focus...you could have some great moneymaking energy around your creative pursuits this week. Don’t hold back!

PISCES - You will need to pull from your well of confidence this week and tackle an issue or two that is overdue for attention. This probably entails you putting your foot down or standing up for yourself in some way. Spending time alone will be beneficial if possible. But it's likely that you will feel called to action, and you should follow that call.
