Mercury Retrogrades In Cancer

Today, the planet of information, communication, and expression moves from Leo, back into Cancer. Still in a retrograde, Mercury has been making its way back through the signs revisiting some issues from the past with a different frame of mind. Mercury when retrograde, usually slows down our mental processes making the way we see things, and how we interpret information a bit cloudy and skewed.

When Mercury was retrograde in Leo, it made us go inward to explore where we are still holding pain in our hearts, where the truth was still urging to get out, where the fear of what we are too afraid to tackle head-on rose up for acknowledgement. Mercury retrogrades have the tendency to take us back in the past, to revisit some topics and themes that require attention and a new closure, and to reassess our plans before moving forward.

Now with Mercury creeping back into Cancer, we will be feeling a bit more sensitive and nostalgic than normal. The dramatics will continue, rearranging the family dynamic and reconstructing the boundaries we have in place to protect ourselves, but with Mercury now retrograde in Cancer, the emotional, and sensitive reactions will overtake what has been heated and fiery.

We are still in a time of reassessment of our plans, re-evaluating what isn't working and what needs to be tweaked, but under the Leo energy, we were running a little hot. Tempers were a bit more feisty in Leo than they will be in Cancer. Mercury retrograding back into Cancer gives us the opportunity to apply our intuition to what it is we are reviewing. Our softer sentiment can smooth the edges of what was a very fiery, hot topic, and help us to truly connect our emotions to these situations instead of allowing the pride of the lion to get in the way.

Because of the recent eclipse energies still settling within us, this energy influence from Mercury retrograding in Cancer will allow the download, the shift in energy, to be a bit more calm and peaceful than it was in its harsh and abrupt form while Mercury was in Leo. We still have some integrating to do, and the emotional emergence of Mercury moving back into Cancer will provide a closure to many topics and themes that were triggered back in June when Mercury first moved into Cancer in a direct motion. To refresh your memory on what Mercury moving into Cancer triggered for you, read this post.

New Moon In Cancer/Solar Eclipse

Today we enter into our very first eclipse of the season, which happens to take places with our New Moon in Cancer. The portal of acceleration opened up over a week ago, and will stay opened until after the second eclipse (a Full Moon lunar eclipse in Capricorn) towards the middle of the month. This portal is a time when the earth, and everyone on it, receives huge amounts of energetic light rays that appear to speed up the events and timelines of our life lessons.

A solar eclipse has the ability to gift us with something that we were already set to receive in our life. It's as if the Universe is tired with how long it is taking us to align ourselves with where we need to be, and who we need to be with, prior to entering into 2020 (which is another game changing year in the cosmos). The Universe speeds up our timelines, creating a series of events that we essentially zoom through in order to be in a better position for the physical changes we can expect to see in the second half of this year. These are not wildcard events, these are elements which were already written into our path, we've just been taking our sweet @ss time in making them happen.

Because this is happening with the New Moon in Cancer, it makes what would have already been a new energy cycle being initiated surround the home, the family dynamic, the mother wound, and the way we care for ourself, even that much more amplified.

Cancer energy represents the Moon, the magic within the feminine divine. We are essentially healing the generational wounds of our ancestors, by acknowledging and mending the trauma wounds that have been passed down in our families.

Having a solar eclipse with the new moon in Cancer is like having a new moon on steroids. It brings the classic energy of starting a new emotional cycle as the moon brings back her light to shine over the world.

This tidal wave of energy has been felt over the last couple of days, creating an emotional shitshow in even the most stable of people. As the moon was in her dark phase building up to her moment to shine once again, we were left to sit in the darkness with our shadow selves. The emergence of the moons illumination now moving into her new phase will take away all of what surfaced within us, clearing us for a new energy cycle to work with. We are processing our emotions at an accelerated rate within this tidal wave of energy, leaving the old structures of our emotions behind.

This cosmic event hits really close to home. It washes over our heart space and shows us where we need to have more compassion for ourselves, and where we need to work on providing ourselves a sense of inner security. This energy will infuse us with an inner strength to master our emotions, and recognize that external events cannot sway us from the faith, strength, and belief we have within ourselves.

We are entering into a new phase of life, where we get to choose our emotions, our response to external triggers, and essentially to the emotional experience itself. This is a time for us to emerge out of the darkness of both the Sun and the Moon recognizing that we need to consciously choose to see and experience love in all we do. If nothing else, let the take away from this karmic event be that you must stop looking for anything less than love, in all that you experience.

Sun Enters Cancer/Summer Solstice

Today marks the Summer Solstice here in the Northern Hemisphere, when we experience the longest day of the year, and the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere.

Here, in the Northern Hemisphere, the Solstice represents the peak of the year and the point of highest energy. We have had a pretty tough first part of the year, and luckily for us, even with the intense eclipse and retrograde season in front of us, the second half of this year won't be as challenging and defeating. Make no mistake though, we still have lots to learn and many shifts to endure.

The Summer Solstice is a time of light, masculinity and outward expansion. We can expect the power of the Sun to light up and illuminate everything that now needs our focus and attention.

The Southern Hemisphere is experiencing the lowest point of energy for the year. The Winter Solstice for them, is a time of darkness, femininity, and inward expansion. Southern Hemisphere natives will find themselves in a reflective state as they are in the season of death preparing for rebirth.

Regardless of where you are at in the world, you can feel the energy of the changing seasons by observing Mother Nature. Her energy in the North provides sunny days, warmer weather, with bright blue skies and rich greenery all around. The wildlife is alive, growing, and singing their songs of a new solar season. In the South, the days are dark, cold, and dreary. The colors of the sky and land are grey. There are no birds singing and chirping, as the season calls for rest.

Even though there are differences in the energy of the Solstice, the planetary or cosmic energy is the same no matter where you live.

There are beautiful patterns among the stars as they set us up to experience  lessons in a way that allows the energy to build and become clearer and stronger as the planetary alignments take place. The Solstice lends us the energy to see the things we need to focus on in a brand new light, as the Sun reaches the peak in the Sky.

The Sun moves into Cancer today triggering the Solstice, which lends us a softer energy to work with as we face these new issues and themes as they arise in the light of the Sun. The Sun in Cancer will have you focusing more on your family and your home life. This gentle water sign will have you feeling a bit more sentimental than usual, and calls your attention to the home and what part of you, and others, need to be more nurtured.

The cosmic energy around the Solstice and leading up to eclipse season holds an intense energy, almost like the heavens are beaming down on us and lighting up areas of our lives that are screaming for attention.

We are all going to be called upon to step into our fullest potential and begin aligning with our purpose and our highest path. Up until this point in the year, we were being asked to create a vision of our reality, what we wanted to see change and have the end result of our vision come into real life. The second half of the year, from today onward, will be taking action to make the changes necessary to have you living your dream by the time 2019 is comes to an end.

Use this Solstice energy to make a final edit, and review the final changes to your vision. This is the final draft. You will have the opportunity next week to release the themes and issues that need to be let go of before your vision can come into reality. Make sure the blueprint you have for your life is solid. Take the time to think about the small details and make changes accordingly. A lot can happen in 6 months, and whether you believe it or not, you will be living a better version of the life you're currently living, if not a totally new version of life altogether, by the end of this year.

It is time to build bigger dreams, have higher ambitions, and to find more and more joy. In fact, if you don’t know where to start with all of this energy, start by following your joy and the rest will fall into place.

Life is strange sometimes, but remember that aside from all the lessons and growth, we are here to have fun. Focus on using the cosmic energy of the Solstice to bring in as much joy into your life as you can. Set a foundation of happiness to grow on, because we are about to start building our dreams with much more passion and determination than you ever thought you had inside you.
