The Cancer Moon triggers the separating Venus/Chiron conjunction. This suggests hurt feelings as what you want clashes with what you need – vulnerability or rejection are mixed in. The need to be loved/wanted is intensified and childhood reactions emerge as you feel raw and exposed.
The Moon’s final aspect before she goes VOC is a sextile to Uranus, providing a release for the above in the form of gentle detachment. You’re encouraged to step back and free yourself from the heaviness of old, unmet needs. Remind yourself that your physical world, resources and routines are all being updated – you’re no longer dependent on others for security.
The Moon enters Leo, trining Neptune and Saturn. The mood shifts, becoming more optimistic and bold as you turn towards the new dream/vision and focus on making it real. You’re capable and independent, taking pride in this new manifestation. The opposition to Pluto will present some challenges in the form of a power struggle, jealousy or external attack that threatens your pride and what you’re trying to accomplish. Watch for extreme reactions: volatile displays, demands for attention or fears that you’re somehow “disappearing.”
This is where you lean into the trines- tap into the passionate, personal vision and your commitment to it. No one can take away your self-expression. No one can blot out your light. You don’t need to engage in manipulative or even destructive displays to prove you’ve got what it takes.
Things end on a very positive note with the Waxing Trine – this portion of the lunar cycle is about stepping forward (into the future) as yourself, by yourself, and shining your light. Pride and the creative urge blend with courage and initiative. This builds on the Neptune/Saturn trines for a natural flow of focus, vision and strength – do your own thing and trust that others will see your worth.
