The first quarter moon takes place tomorrow with Jupiter’s opposition. We are deep in our journeys and are going through battles with our egos. As the summer solstice approaches and by the solar eclipse in Cancer, we will have cleansed ourself and learned the lesson. Until then, there is much self-discovery occurring.
As Cancer season slowly approaches, the emotional highs and lows continue. With Neptune’s opposition to the moon, we can be very moody and emotional. That being said take plenty of time for yourself this week. If you feel the need to “reset” often, don’t question it, just do what your body needs. If we choose to not work with this energy and push forward anyway, you will be disappointed. This aspect influences us to have too high of expectations for a situation and will hurt our sensitive egos. Sometimes pressure makes diamonds but other times it makes dust! Neptune is also square to the sun so us going overboard simply to please others is expected.
Venus has entered Gemini in the 8th house and challenges us to transform the way we look at relationships and abundance. Questions to ask yourself during this time include what are your emotional values and do these values need to be reviewed. Unresolved issues from previous relationships can be triggered now and reoccur. The Venus in 8th house can be tricky if we are not careful. Ensure that you are not trying to manipulate people into doing what you want, but that you are actually speaking intentionally. When we speak from our heart, our intentions are pure. The universe will ensure we are aligned based on what is delivered to us at this time.
It’s the perfect time to add extra leather and kinkiness to the bedroom as Venus trines Pluto also. We are becoming the seductress and are so charming with our words. This energy can be used for the bedroom but also to help us in our abundance and manifestations. Use your charm to help push you into conversations and give you the boost you need. Business partnerships are expected to bloom now. With whatever you are working on, ensure your people skills are polished. You never know what conversation can elevate you to the next step!
Stay focused on your goals and remember why you started the journey in the first place! Although we are realizing how much work there really is going to be in this, we are also grateful. This gratitude we are feeling influences us to want to keep going. Give yourself a break this week as the cosmos suggest. Although there is a lot of fire energy in the air, we need to balance it out by tuning into our divine feminine side. As the Virgo moon trines Venus, we are focusing on our inner peace. Be gentle with yourself and others and continue to practice compassion.
If things don’t go your way, keep calm and stay grounded. Self reflect and ask what is this trying to teach me, instead. Carrying that inner peace will ensure fruitful situations come to us. Forgive yourself for how harsh you were before. Accept what has happened and carry the lesson with you. A minor bump in the road should not disturb your peace! You have self control and you have a spiritual anchor. Allow it to guide you, let the universe guide you.
Continue to work on building stable, good habits this moon cycle. Allow yourself to maintain your desire to push and instead, find strength in stillness.
