Ever get that feeling like the universe just tossed you into an emotional blender without the lid on? Well, buckle up, because the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter are all huddled in Cancer right now—a watery, emotional, cardinal cocktail that’s as volatile as your last binge-watch cliffhanger. Reality’s doing its shape-shifting dance, but hey, we’ve got a secret weapon: smart, grounded devotion to principle. So instead of spiraling into the drama of the day, how about we channel that emotional whirlpool into some clear-headed, intelligent moves? It’s like trying to navigate Saturn’s rings blindfolded—tricky, sure, but oh so satisfying when you get it right. Now, I gotta ask: when your inner chatterbox starts throwing curveballs, are you the type to yell “Hey, so and so!” or just simmer with a “Is that so and so?” Take your cues carefully here—only leap when your gut shouts louder than your doubts. Curious where this cosmic new moon at 4 degrees Cancer, cozying up to Jupiter and flirting with Mars, lands in your chart? That’s where the magic (or mischief) kicks in. Dive in, lean in, and why not thread that needle tight? LEARN MORE
The Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter are all in Cancer, a watery-emotional-cardinal and highly-charged stellium challenged by shifting reality but aided in tangible, intelligent maneuverability. The atmosphere is tangibly emotionally volatile, but even so we have the grounding strength of devotion to principle.
If overwhelmed by unfolding events, pass over inflammatory narratives in favor of nuts-and-bolts directives that offer realistic next steps. Defang fear with information and sunshine: matter-of-fact. If you don’t know, find out, seek out. If you do know, speak up. Calmly. It’s okay if your voice shakes with emotion; that doesn’t make it weak. First steps of “doing something” go a long way toward claiming the confidence of being part of the solution, part of a larger family and the safety and security that engenders.
All day Monday, Cancer Mercury squares Aries Chiron, and words hurt. But when they come from the heart and affect intelligent action, we can move through the hurt to a healing. Monday’s Mercury-ruled Gemini Moon is clear of diverting distractions, so pay attention and get curious. Mercury-ruled Virgo Mars sextiles the Cancer Sun and Jupiter as well as Vesta in Scorpio; such devotion leads to satisfaction.
Tuesday morning, the Sun conjoins Jupiter and the Gemini Moon trines Aquarius Pallas Athena. Big egos are everywhere, but the mood supports making greater humanitarian sense of the throughput of history to future. The Moon moves through the midpoint of the Mercury-Uranus sextile (exact Thursday), all end of sign. Aha moments are pinging and raising the pleasure point. ZING – oh yeah!
When the Moon moves to Cancer Tuesday evening, it picks up a square to Saturn-Neptune that perfects in the night/early Wednesday morning. The day’s events reverberate in the mood… “nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.” Or action makes it so. Are you making something solid because it feels that way? Maybe wait till you’re sure of why. Emotional reactivity feels insistent. Intelligent action is certain.
You know how you see someone on the street and think, “Is that so and so?” as opposed to seeing someone and thinking, “Oh! That’s so and so!” Only act on the latter.
But then, early Wednesday morning we have the Cancer Moon conjoining the Sun: the new moon! The Moon passes over Jupiter, squeezes in between Jupiter and the Sun, to pass over the Sun and sextile Mars. Threading that needle and pulling it tight. Simultaneously, Mercury tightens its sextile to Uranus, so profitable planning pops!
Taurus Mercury is Uranus’ current sign ruler, and Venus moves in square to Pallas Athena. “Smart money” may not be obviously in your corner on this one, but putting your plan into action is still favored. Trust your own “knowing”. If it’s “Hey, so and so!”, go for it. The Cancer Moon trines Scorpio Juno in the night. To quote the inimitable Pee Wee Herman: “If you love it so much, why don’t you marry it?”
Thursday, the Cancer Sun perfects its sextile to Mars, and the Cancer Moon sextiles Taurus Venus. Mercury moves to Sun-ruled Leo, and the Moon squares Chiron. Morning through midday is smooth-shifting funny-fun; midday there’s a bit of a clunk, but finer attitudes prevail along with a zippy Moon sextile to Uranus. Nighttime takes the Moon into Leo as well, and the Moon rolls over newly minted, fiery Mercury.
Early Friday, the Leo Moon highlights Mercury’s budding trines to Saturn and Neptune, as well as its impending opposition to retro Pluto in Aquarius. Drama is UP, attitude is dramatic! Still, they have strong training wheels and a tendency toward decorum. What truly matters is still on the collective mind, glove, and boot.
The fiery Leo mood burns merrily all day, picking up a square to Scorpio Juno in the night. Possessiveness or jealousy may be conflated with righteous passion, so be aware and don’t throw down the gauntlet without checking in with reality.
Wednesday morning’s new moon takes place at 4 degrees Cancer, conjunct Jupiter and sextile Virgo Mars. Where do these hit your chart? Where are you feeling compelled to action?
