This week your thoughts may be pretty pointed and you could find yourself wanting to call someone on their bullshit. While Neptune is retrograde, our intuition is actually stronger, and we may see a situation with a unique clarity. But of course we have to be prudent and sheath our sharp tongue for our own benefit, because the focus this week is truly about nurturing our loved ones and finding support from them for ourselves.
Both career and partner relationships are on stage this week. Your partner is likely to be a source of support for you, or you to them. The one challenge to that would be Venus square Uranus on the 8th. But I’m choosing to interpret that as a desire for positive change within the relationship based on new information rather than old baggage. That may not feel positive in the moment, but I feel you will be able to sense that there’s a supportive undercurrent to Uranus’ effects.
The New Moon in Cancer underscores this. We will be focused on nurturing, sentimentality, and feeling our feelings. New moons are always an opportunity for a fresh start. And in this case, relationships and family ties and experience positive influences. Try to view everyone as though they are 5 or 6 years old and see how it influences your interactions with them. Do this for yourself too. If you have old pictures, get them out and look at little you. Who were you then? Where are those parts of yourself now? They’re still in there...do those parts have expression? Play with that energy.

ARIES - Your enthusiasm toward a personal goal or achievement may feel delayed or unreachable . If you’ve been sidelined or otherwise held back, find the thing in your way and utilize it to your advantage. It could also be, though this would be somewhat unusual for an Aries, that you haven’t fully committed to whatever this thing is. More likely: you haven’t thought it through completely. When you manifest, and wish, bond yourself to that wish with a vow to stay the course. And if you just aren’t sure WTF you’re striving for, look to the water in your chart for clarity.
TAURUS - You are consistent in your actions, or in your inactions. A repeating pattern of disappointment might be because you haven’t finished your homework. When you get discouraged, your famous stubbornness kicks in and you have a tendency to throw in the towel. Knock that shit off. Do as much as you can today. Then do as much as you can tomorrow. Keep doing that until you’ve pushed past your own limited belief. Look to the Sagittarius in your chart for inspiration.
GEMINI - This week, lean in to your mama bear energy to protect what is yours by birthright. One of those things, which we tend to think we must earn, is joy. Protect your joy! It isn’t something you have to work for or deserve, it is a birthright, so claim it. Don’t let your job steal it. Don’t let your duties as a parent or a partner overshadow it. Don’t give it away out of some act of penance. If there is something you long for but don’t feel you deserve, get out of your own way and go after it. Damnit.
CANCER - Trust the momentum of the river that carries you. If weird things are distracting you, go ahead and follow them. There is wisdom even in wandering. Even your anxiety about certain things contains wisdom: Is it fear or is it excitement? When stuck at a choice or crossroad, pick the option that is the fairest to YOU. You tend to sacrifice your desire for the good of the family or tribe and this is your message from the Universe to pick something for you!
LEO - You are at the threshold of a life change. It isn’t really a choice, it is happening. But the great news is, this is the good shit! You’ve been waiting, working, hoping...and it is coming. Leos get a bad rap too often for being vain and conceited. But what is coming for you is due to your self confidence and charm that you naturally exude. Be proud of yourself and your accomplishments. Don’t downplay them just because other people are jealous. Own that shit, sis!
VIRGO - Things are going to start moving very soon. But take note: when things don’t look or feel the way you’d hoped, look for the blessing in the reality of the situation. You are good at finding the flaw in a system or process, or even in people. In this situation, what you may label as the fatal flaw could actually be the superpower. Wear your vulnerability or disappointment as a badge of courage. The destination where you end up is better than the one you’d imagined.
LIBRA - You’re in the midst of (or will be soon) a change that you’ve sought for a long time. You may feel a bit overwhelmed, both with the work, and by your emotions. Take a moment to realize that past betrayals have pushed you into current blessings. Rejection and protection are 2 halves of a coin. Bless the people who hurt you, and you’ll find that your own blessings multiply.
SCORPIO - You may feel worn out from carrying the weight of your passions. Don’t give up. Push through. Get mad if you need to. But pursue that dream with passionate vengeance. Lean into the fire in your chart to feed your internal fire. Your passion is also your purpose, and you can’t screw it up as long as you are acknowledging it. Don’t hide it under a bushel….let it shine!
SAGITTARIUS - Your innate idealism and optimism are serving you well. When you start questioning if you belong in a particular situation, relationship, place, etc., the answer to that question is in the asking. In other words, no. It is probably time to take a different path and go your own way. Your quest for truth will land you in a much better place. Keep an open mind and believe in what others would call impossible.
CAPRICORN - If you’ve ever been caught in a riptide in the ocean, you know how frightening it can be. The trick is to keep your wits and swim parallel to the shore line until you’re out of the current. You have to use the ocean’s power to overcome the ocean’s power… The situation you’re in now is similar. Keep your head. The fact is you are better prepared and have planned far more effectively than your “opponent”, who isn’t paying attention to how deep the water is. Watch the waves and just keep swimming (you ARE a sea goat after all, not just a mountain climber!)
AQUARIUS - You are about to step in to a period of ease and abundance that has long eluded you. But to recognize it, you need to purify your desires...meaning, get really clear on what it is you want. Don’t be too specific about what the thing looks like, but what does it feel like? Focus on essence, not form. You have the intellect and the skills to have and keep success right in your pocket. You will have the freedom to fill your own water vessel, rather than carrying everyone else’s.
PISCES - Withdraw from the chaos of life whenever possible and examine the path you’re currently on. Visualize a torch on either side of that path. What do those 2 lights represent? It is important you be clear about this and match your forward movement with your personal ethics. You are likely to find yourself in a position of having to choose between 2 opportunities, and understanding what your torches are will make the decision much easier.
