As we wade into the emotional waters of Cancer season, this week is an invitation to explore the depths of our relationships. On the 26th, Venus finds herself at the crosshairs of the nodes of fate, encouraging us to confront our fears around intimacy and take bold steps towards deeper connections. This influence may push us to leap into new romantic adventures with courage and openness.
Mercury trine Saturn on the 26th brings a grounding energy, highlighting the importance of persistence and perseverance in anything that’s feeling a little scary right now. Then on the 29th, Mercury sextile Uranus sparks stimulating conversations and keeps things exciting!
Adding to the vibrancy, Venus sextile Mars on the 29th brings a playful, sensual vibe to relationships. Connections that have been nebulous get clarified now. This is a wonderful time for dates and making auspicious connections.
Everything leads to Saturn stationing retrograde on the 29th. Think of Saturn retrograde as the summer vacation that comes after a long school year. While we still have some responsibilities, this period is more about integrating the lessons we've learned rather than taking on any new tasks. Saturn won’t station direct until November. I recommend taking this time in between to reflect, regroup and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
