Week Ahead Transits 26th June - 2nd July

This week the Sun makes its way through the first decan of Cancer, highlighting the way we connect with others, share ourselves, and collaborate. The week starts us out with a first quarter moon, triggering strong urges to fix the parts of our relationship that feel out of balance. Situations may come up where you notice that things aren’t totally fair, this is the universe offering the opportunity to teach people how they can be better partners by not sweeping hurt or uneasy feelings under the rug. The energies are ripe for proactively finding solutions in our relationships so that everyone involved is getting their needs met equally.

Harmonizing and balancing are the keywords that influence the rest of the week. The Moon travels through the signs Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn, the 3rd quadrant of the zodiac. These signs in general show us how we integrate our outer worlds with our inner worlds through relationships, sharing, and information from others to evolve the ego. Notice how you integrate what other people are offering, does it get met with resistance or with eagerness?

Neptune stations retrograde this week at 27° 41’ Pisces and stations direct on December 6th. That gives us a whole 5 months of psychic development! When Neptune turns retrograde, we are tuning in more acutely to the subtle energies that surround us at all times, the etheric and auric fields feel much louder and it is easier to connect with the subconscious realms. For those of you who feel that you already have a strong connection to these invisible forces, you may find that it actually tends to be a bit more difficult to tap into while everyone else experiences ultra-heightened senses. That’s because Neptune has a tendency to create a fog around our third eye during the retrograde period for those who are more sensitive to begin with, which may actually be a welcomed reprieve!

Another important transit for the week is Mars square Uranus on the 26th. This aspect between the two strong forces of chaos feed off of each other and create spontaneous bursts of energy in areas where it is least expected. This is a day where we need to take extra caution while out and about since we will all be under this pressure cooker energy – those who have explosive tempers may be triggered easily. Mercury enters Cancer on the same day so sensitivities are heightened and there may be a lot of room for conflict. In other ways, this can be a really helpful energy to tap into for those who would like to connect more strongly with their Mars energy through initiating a new workout routine or starting a new hobby.
