Claws up, its Crab Season
Last week was Neptune-y, this week is very Cancer-y and sensitive. Mercury goes retrograde in cancer, the sun enters Cancer, and there’s a solar eclipse in Cancer. Eek! However in the middle of the week we do have a glimmer of respite with some Mars transits that will energize and motivate you...that is if you can be motivated. it might be an uphill battle because we are likely to feel tender and emotional and not very logical, for the most part.
June 18th: Mercury retrograde in Cancer (until july 12th)
Our thoughts are coloured by our emotions. It is very difficult to be objective, during this transit. we are collectively in deep introspection now (which is obvious when you watch the news or look at social media) because we have 5 planets retrograde.
June 18th: Mars sextile Pluto - drive and determination
June 19th: Sun conjunct North Node - what we desire, also desires us. our annual opportunity to realign to our higher callings.
June 20th: Mars sextile Jupiter - strong and courageous
June 20th: Sun enters Cancer - you need to feel at home, safe and secure. you tend to be more affectionate with the one you love.
June 20th: Summer Solstice
June 21st: new moon in cancer and annular solar eclipse- its a jam packed one!
you will likely feel and be highly sensitive, and emotional awareness will serve you well. this new moon is influenced by Saturn, so the theme of responsibility bumps into the theme of family and home. AND, this eclipse is also (very snugly) conjunct the north node of the moon.
The new moon solar eclipse will put us at odds between our career and our home, our emotional needs and our responsibilities. This is almost the end of the Cancer-Capricorn eclipses that started in 2018. What has transformed in your life since the summer of 2018, particularly in regard to security and home, and tradition and career…? (The new themes later this year will be knowledge, networking, education, adventure, information, and freedom. This year has 7 eclipses, which is literally the maximum that can occur in a calendar year! So one more reason 2020 is bound to continue to be intense!)
In honor of Cancer season, my daughter, a Cancer rising, is helping me with Scopes this week. Frankly, I needed a little help from my mini this week. I have so much going on this week, which I will dish about at a later date. And how cool is it to have my amazingly gifted daughter involved...by her choice?! Mandy has determined that she will follow Spirit in how many cards to pull for each sign and from which deck. “Mini Oracle Mandy”, henceforth “MOM” will provide her intuitive insights and I will provide mine.
So without further adieu, your BitchScopes for this very sensitive week.
ARIES - “Creatrix” & “Warrior Goddess” - Follow your desires. Break free and create something new. Don’t play it safe or give away your power. Follow your instincts. MOM says “I think this relates to relationships. Don’t let anyone control you. Let go of the past and focus on the present. Release what you’ve been holding on to for too long.”

TAURUS - “Adjacent Possibilities” & “Journey” - MOM thinks this relates to career possibilities. Perhaps you’ve been looking for a job but not finding what you hoped for. Consider a different flavor of career. The journey is a new start.
(from Energy Oracle Cards by Sandra Anne Taylor)
GEMINI - “Queen of Gabriel” & “Justice/ArchAngel Raguel” - MOM feels like this is a Midheaven vibe. Somewhere amid and amongst the 9th and 10th houses. There are people in your sphere that could mentor or help you. Start networking more. Go after what you want and pursue your long term vision.
(from ArchAngel Power Tarot by Doreen Virtue & Radleigh Valentine)
CANCER - “4 of Cups & Ace of Pentacles” - A certain inability to see the gifts and opportunities in front of you. There is a payoff for your action toward something. You can’t walk into a Vegas Casino believing you won’t win anything and with your hands stuffed in your pockets permanently. In this case, the hotel is paid for, the casino chips were free, and you have a coupons for free meals. Take your hands out of your pocket and believe.
(from Line Strider Tarot by Siolo Thompson)
LEO - “4 of Gabriel” & “The Star” - Wow, This is a powerful pair of positive cards! The end of a difficult situation means it's time for a celebration. You’ve got the world on a string. Your connections to groups, friends, and loved ones is sweet right now. If you aren’t seeing this positive energy yet, the eclipse and everything it carries with it is likely to show it to you.
(from ArchAngel Power Tarot by Doreen Virtue & Radleigh Valentine)
VIRGO - “What do you feel?” & “After the Storm” - Fear and excitement are often confused for each other. That jittery feeling in your gut doesn’t necessarily mean that doom is near, and conversely sometimes it doesn’t mean that he or she is THE one. Tune in to your feelings and tell yourself the truth.
(from Sacred Rebels Oracle by Alana Fairchild)
LIBRA - “Messenger of Air” & “Love” - You may be reacting to a situation not based on present knowledge, but on past experience or a learned reaction. You are very worthy of receiving love. There is no real separation between you, others, your experiences, other people’s experiences, because we are all connected. MOM said she thinks this is about your 8th house...there is huge opportunity for transformation in your vulnerability and conscious actions, whereas doing what you’ve always done will get you what you always got.
(from The Good Tarot by Colette Baron-Reid)
SCORPIO - “Bring it into form” & “Release the Dark Wound” - Well it doesn’t get much more Scorpionic than “Release the Dark Wound”! That’s you in a nutshell! But moreover, society has a dark wound right now and it must be lanced to heal. It’s gross, as we clearly see on the news. But you, the transmuter of dark to light, wounded to healed, can offer so much. Bring your vision to the table and be the powerful facilitator you can be.
(from Sacred Rebels Oracle by Alana Fairchild)
SAGITTARIUS - “4th Chakra/AA Raphael” & 5th Chakra/AA Gabriel” - Interesting, because this deck contains many more things besides chakra cards, but MOM pulled 2! So pay attention to your literal energy centers in your body. Your heart and your throat chakras are the 4th and 5th chakras. MOM said she thinks this is in regards to personal relationships and honesty. The exchange of information and emotions could come up for you in the coming days.
(from Energy Oracle Cards by Sandra Anne Taylor)
CAPRICORN - “3 of Ariel” & “The World” - In a world where you could literally succeed at almost anything, what would you do? Well you literally COULD succeed at almost anything, so it makes choosing a path difficult. You have many skills that could make you money. But what do you love? The eclipses of the last 2 years have highlighted a lot of this information for you. So think about the things you passionately love to do. Pick the top 3. Keep #1 for yourself, and direct your goals and actions toward #2 or #3.
(from ArchAngel Power Tarot by Doreen Virtue & Radleigh Valentine)
AQUARIUS - “9 of Fire” & “Messenger of Water” - Look before you leap and consider your choices. The uncertainty you feel is your inner guidance. There are a lot of feelings floating around. Take good inventory of yours before acting on them. Where is this emotion coming from? Moreover, as an Aquarius, you might be saying “what the fuck is this emotion thing I feel? I don’t like it!” But your emotional intelligence will benefit you a great deal right now.
(from The Good Tarot by Colette Baron-Reid)
PISCES - “Lioness” & “Psyche” - You are entering a phase of fresh empowerment and self love, You are being called to be fully authentic. You may feel overwhelmed at some aspect of this process, but the help you need is nearby. You are a master manifester. There is more available to you than is apparent. MOM believes this is relating to your home and family life.
