Cancer,
this week will kick-start with more energy but watch out on Monday for
the Moon's positioning opposite Neptune, which when combined with the
Moon being in fiery Leo could cause problems. You feel in extrovert-mode
but can't help feeling unsettled and strangely sensitive to comments
made by others which you might mistakenly take personally when there is
no ill-feeling intended. The Moon in Leo makes you proud but the
connection to Neptune makes that pride rather fragile and
easily-offended. Be conscious that any feelings of inferiority or guilt
are nebulosities - ignore them and don't let them cause you to doubt
yourself. The 90-degree Square aspect of Moon-Sun may exacerbate
irritability and feeling ill-at-ease and may cause some small set-back
on the home-front. Just be careful - contain and control the energies of
the Moon in Leo and think carefully before you say or do anything.
Tuesday
allows you a better opportunity to enjoy the Moon's position in Leo
because it forms a 120-degree Trine to Venus. Today is a good day to
spend time with friends and try to do things hat you enjoy and seek fun.
It is a romantic day - you like people and they like you back! If you
can take time off work is week, then Tuesday is the best day to suit
yourself and do something you enjoy instead.
Wednesday - could be
potentially problematic and quite damaging! The Moon is conjunct Mars
in Leo creating extremely strong energies and making you potentially
volatile, self-centred and disagreeable. Do not do or say anything
hastily or you may well regret it late. This phase is short, so just
weather the storm, stay out of trouble and walk away from any situation
or person that gets under your skin rather than stand and tell them what
you really things.
Thursday is a other day to exercise caution.
The Moon is opposite Uranus and this brings unexpected events and
surprises which may not be what you particularly want or know how to
deal with. You will be in an unpredictable frame of mind and is may
cause you do do and say things that make people slightly concerned about
your 'strange-ness'. The way other people respond to you might even
cause you to go further out on a limb with out-of-character behaviour
and an argument might arise even though you are not seeking one. Just
keep your head down at work today and use the moon's position in Virgo
to stay focused on any task that requires attention to details and calls
on your organisational skills. Keep the day as simple as possible, hang
onto your routines for the day and deal with anything that comes your
way that is unexpected or complicated as quickly and effectively as
possible and then let it go.
Friday is a good day to expand your
mind, think positively and make forward-looking decisions. You have
optimism, are approachable and easy to get along with - and you have a
streak of creativity! Just watch you don't over-indulge with food or
drink, because the opposition between Jupiter and Venus that the Moon is
forming a T-Square to suggests that a degree of restraint and
moderation is required to make the most of the potential benefits these
aspects promise. Enjoy yourself and have fun, but know when to draw a
line under it and call it a day!
The weekend, Saturday looks like
the prefect day to visit an art gallery, go see some theatre, take a
walk in nature or just day-dream. Engage in anything calls upon your
creative side, avoid anything taxing or demanding and you will get the
most out of today's positive opportunities. On Sunday the Moon moves
past Saturn on the ecliptic and then later in the day, Mercury. This
causes some frustration and upheaval, but with the sign being Libra, you
should instinctively know how to balance any tensions and seek harmony
even if you don't feel too tranquil inside. Sunday morning may be a
good day to do some work around the house or sort out some paperwork -
and then int be afternoon get out and about to express the more
Mercurial energies of the day: why not head out and do some Christmas
shopping in town in the afternoon and stop off at a Christmas market to
hob-nob with market traders and buy some unusual Christmas gifts for
family and friends!
This week is a bit up and down, and here are
days you will need to be cautious in how you interact with the world.
The best days are Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
4 potentially great days out of 7 days isn't bad. Make sure you take full advantage of them!
The Sun in Scorpio this week / Ophiuchus at the weekend:
After
having moved into Scorpio last Saturday, the Sun continues to cross
this constellation before progressing into Ophiuchus on Friday. This is a
rather exciting week because while the Sun spends its extremely short
time in Scorpio (only six days!), it is one of the more potent and
remarkable of the 13 signs. Basically, all interpersonal connections
operate on a primary, basic level - stripping away social pretensions
and superficiality to reveal what exists beneath the veneer. This can be
quite shocking and unsettling, but also very exciting and stimulating!
The energies unlocked by Scorpio can be intensely emotional and may
explode out from the unconscious in ways that take us by surprise!
We
may feel deep forces welling up from deep within us, intensifying our
feelings towards others, which may be fairly extreme such as obsessional
attraction or jealousy. Or perhaps we find ourselves suddenly gaining
profound insight into the motivations and games others may be playing
out routinely in their (and our) lives. This is a week to see the truth
around you - whether you want to see it or not. Ties between people that
are not counter-productive may be dramatically broken as emotions
possibly erupt. By the time we reach the weekend, Scorpio should have
unlocked so much unconscious material that needs to be dealt with that
most of us will probably feel quite exhausted.
This is a week in
which to state our intentions, but just remember that there are ways and
means of doing so. Avoid anything dramatic or destructive if you
possibly can. If you spend as much time as possible reflecting and
staying in tune with your inner-self, then you should be able to
recognise any emotions that are surfacing which require you to take
action. You can then formulate a plan to achieve your aims without
doing anything hasty or regrettable. It is just as much as week to
arrive at a clearer and deeper level of understanding regarding our
innermost feelings as it is to take action and express them! The former
is ultimately much more important than the latter.
Depending on
just how disruptive or explosive these manifestations actually are in
their forms of expression, the Sun moving into Ophiuchus on Friday will
be welcome in proportion. The time that the Sun spends in Ophiuchus is a
period during which there is a soothing of the unconscious. As Scorpio
stirs up the waters of the unconscious, Ophiuchus calms and stills them.
After any dramatic period, time is needed to reflect on and process
what has taken place. We all need to retreat into out psychological
caves and come to terms with whatever has been brought to the surface
that needs to be confronted and come to terms with. Therefore, expect a
quiet, reflective weekend afterwards what could well turn out to be a
tiring and demanding emotional week!
>>> Overview / reiteration of the Moon's significance:
The
sign of Cancer the Crab is associated with the Moon, which is why I
have exclusively always only listed its movements for this sign. Other
signs would do well to study its daily-movements, because it does set
the mood-themes for the week. Other signs have their own complex
arrangements going on via their associated planet's positions and
aspects, but with Cancer the speed with which it travels along the
Ecliptic and around the Earth FAR surpasses all of the others in terms
of weaving an ever-changing, highly exciting, colourful tapestry!
The
Moon's phases during the week affects us all (and Cancerians
particularly) according to Dane Rudhyar's theory - which both Vasilis
and I subscribe to. We must watch its phases because they set the scene
for the overall month's 'mood' and also that of a profound general cycle
which begins with the New Moon, ascends through personal realisation
(according to your particular sign and Natal Moon position), reaches a
zenith / eureka-moment (at Full Moon), wanes through reflection and then
tails off in speculative reflection on what has been, what has been
learned, assimilated and then deemed necessary to take through the
regenerative process by the New Moon from the last cycle into the new
one.
- You will find the book by Dane Rudhyar, 'The Lunation
Cycle: a Key to the Understanding of Personality' extremely useful in
this respect, as far as learning how to interpret the meaning of the
Moon's phases FOR YOURSELF is concerned: something there simply isn't
scope to do in sufficient detail here in our weekly forecasts.
-
Vasilis introduced me to this book and your getting to grips with its
key concepts, will serve as a useful introduction to the overall concept
of '13-Sign Astrology'; something you might wish to take up further by
undertaking the forthcoming online 13-sign study-modules that Vasilis is
planning for launch at a later date.
