We are in Cancer season and post the Solstice on 21st June-it’s officially hot girl summer! The tricky energy that comes post-Mercury retrograde (is over so I really hope you are feeling the freshness! As you might have seen on the news this past week new had a super rare alignment of planets (Mercury & Venus in Gemini, Mars & Jupiter in Aries and Saturn in Aquarius)ALL visible with the naked eye -did you get to see? On June 25th the Gemini Moon joined in which hasn’t happened since March 2004.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year, and the energy is of celebration and related to fertility and feminine power. Fertility is about our ability to create. To use the increased light to understand what we want and alchemise our goals into a feeling of abundance within our lives. As we strive for more impact, more achievement, the energy of Jupiter in Aries all this year is a perfect time to celebrate all things bold (he will be retrograde from 28th July!)

However, A wonderful question to ask yourself this Cancer season is How am I nurturing the abundance I want to see? (Astro Tip: A big part of this is learning to receive from others) We can be so programmed in our Mars boss-babe energy we may forget that we all need love, compassion and support from others.

If you tend towards the hyper-independent NOW is your chance to feel the power of allowing others in more deeply to that project or relationship. As the Sun brings the earth this life-giving energy, so we can allow our emotional selves to thrive when we open up to others and (eek!) really let ourselves be seen and looked after.

Dates for July.

June 29th–NEW MOON in Cancer. This New Moon is conjunct Black Moon Lilith and square Jupiter in Aries. She is not messing around! Time to set those intentions for the coming month -call in more love, demonstrate more love... dare to dig into your emotions.

July 5th–Mars enters Taurus. Time to put all those ideas into action. Start slowly knowing you are building the strongest possible foundations.

July 13th–Full Moon in Capricorn. Time to reflect and celebrate on what you have achieved between this date and 30th December last year. This is an area of life that has reached a maturity and wisdom and remember to love the scars that brought you here too!

July 25th–Leo Mercury trine Jupiter in Aries. This is a powerful time to share what is on your mind and show up as fully as yourself as possible. Do you have presentations planned? This is perfect timing
