My Sign Says

The Moon in Cancer Wants You to Express Your Emotions

We are feeling a lot of emotions today, particularly earlier in the day. We feel playful, romantic, imaginative, and intuitive. Later we may feel the need to bottle these emotions up or to lash out at loved ones. The stars want you to fight this impulse and express yourself in a productive way.

The Moon Is Sextile Venus at 5:14 AM

This morning, the moon in Cancer forms a sextile with Venus in Virgo. When the moon is sextile Venus, it forms a tender, loving aspect. All types of relationships can flourish under this influence, but it’s especially auspicious for romantic pairings. You might even start a new relationship.

It brings about increased beauty, charm, social popularity, and successful dating experiences. It’s an ideal time to be with your partners and friends if you’re able to do so right now.

When Virgo (earth) and Cancer (water) mingle, they can kindle some playful, sensual energy. You might find yourself in the mood to seek out new experiences and people. Lean into it.

The Moon Is Trine Neptune at 1:39 PM

In the early afternoon, the moon in intense Cancer forms a watery trine with Neptune in dreamy Pisces. All of this watery energy brings about a time of introspection and imagination. It would be a great time to focus on creative projects. Because of Neptune’s influence, working with film or video, or even working in front of a mirror, could spark some serious creativity.

This is also a good time to meet, or call in, a future partner. Your friends may also seek you out, either for support or advice. You’re happy to oblige both. In fact, you might feel like seeking out ways to support others, perhaps with charitable or humanitarian work, or using your art and influence to draw attention to a cause.

Your intuition is quite strong under this transit, so pay attention to any psychic flashes or hits you might receive. It would be a great time to delve into a divination practice.

The Moon Is Opposite Pluto at 6:02 PM

This evening, sweet emotional Cancer leans into her more protective and secretive side as she moves in opposition to Pluto in Capricorn. This placement can bring about abrupt and complex feelings of lack and inadequacy, and cause us to turn inward and try to bottle up our emotions, unable to express what’s going on.

It can also bring on feelings of wanting to hide or numb our feelings away. This placement can stir up relationship drama. Try to stay aware of these inclinations, and find a way to express yourself that’s uplifting and productive.

The Sun Is Square Uranus at 8:49 PM

A few hours later, the sun in Leo forms a square with Uranus in Taurus. This transit asks you to stay flexible and open-minded amidst insecurity. It’s quite possible this will bring up feelings of tension and anxiety, but rash behavior isn’t going to help matters here. It’s important to remain calm and aware that this is only a temporary situation.

Square aspects bring about discomfort in order to teach us valuable lessons about ourselves and those around us.

Also keep in mind that you’re not the only one being affected by this transit. Be on the lookout for outbursts from others as well. Try to make yourself a point of calm within the storm for your loved ones.
