Family Tree by Norman Rockwell

Is it time to examine our concepts about family? This Full Moon at 02° 10′ Capricorn on 23 June 2013, 04:32 AM PDT presents us with a wonderful opportunity to think about the people who are a part of our families, both by blood and in spirit. This Full Moon is unique because the Moon rules Cancer, further emphasizing the connection between the Sun and Moon.

Gemini season comes to a close.

Big news this week is Jupiter in Gemini traveling with the Sun in Gemini until the solstice and after that with the Sun in Cancer. This very noisy combo will probably drown out the other aspects in play. Think of a huge, happy family gathering where everyone is babbling at once. Gemini loooves to talk and Jupiter increases this tendency exponentially. Lovely if you are a social air or fire sign who enjoys this sort of thing. I predict there will be some shy, retiring earth [...]

Lingering light on the solstice

For a change we have a dreamy summer solstice to celebrate! The Sun enters Cancer in a waxing Grand Trine with enduring Saturn in Scorpio and compassionate Neptune in Pisces. If you live in the northern latitudes you know how magical this time of year can be with long light days and exquisite evenings. There is a very good reason growing up in England inspired Shakespeare to write his classic play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” . . . which I love!

As Cancer’s ruler, the Moon is always [...]

Ah, Jupiter in Cancer

On 25 June Jupiter leaves airy Gemini for Cancer and we are awash in water. So what will Jupiter in Cancer emphasize? Because Jupiter always emphasizes whatever he touches you know, or should I say exaggerates.

Cancer is all about home and family in one way or another. It is a sensitive water sign who feels deeply. Jupiter in Cancer may envelop us in loving warmth or make us feel smothered by too much mothering. All those uncomfortable food issues could show up once more as in substituting food for nurturance. Bulimia, anorexia and [...]

It is Venus in Cancer’s turn to complete a T-Square with Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn this week. Nerve endings are raw and feelings can be easily hurt. Between Uranus in Aries’ complete lack of sensitivity and Pluto’s need to be controlling, relationships of all types will be under the gun. Those most vulnerable with be people with personal planets and/or Ascendant from 10° to 12° in the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn). Cardinal signs are seldom passive when they feel attacked and will strike back.

Both Mercury and Venus [...]
