With just a week passing since we’ve planted our intentions under the Cancer moon, we enter the first quarter moon in Libra, which offers a moment of reflection. First quarter moons are usually when we are looking back at what we’ve planted and what shifts have taken place since. A lot can happen in a week, especially when it’s summer and the middle of peak portal season! This quarter moon becomes exact at 10:14PM est on 07/06, taking place at the 14° of Libra. Connecting with ruling planet Venus in Gemini, this moon is truly about taking a moment to honour the spaces we are in. Situations could be unfolding in unexpected ways, and yet the possibilities that are blooming are better than we ever could have imagined. Gemini and Libra, and even Cancer, carry this energy of embracing duality and the many manifestations of the unknown. These signs know how to look at all sides of a situation before making a decision; this moon is here to teach us the same.
Mars and Mercury both entered new signs yesterday (Taurus and Cancer), working in harmony to create ease in our plans. The connection between these two planets can help us with clearing our minds of unnecessary baggage, and moving forward with pending plans. Mercury in Cancer’s intuitive nature reminds us to follow our instincts, while Mars in Taurus comforts any lingering doubt, as this transit helps us create healthy strides in our plans. This season is all about taking our time and doing everything with intention. With the full moon just a week away, this week is a reminder of what the energy of Capricorn embodies; before the success and stability, comes the discipline, focus, and preparation.
How are we taking this week to reflect on these themes and prepare ourselves for the upcoming moon? A full moon in the element of earth is popular for abundance workings, but what must we do in preparation of this?
See below for what the cosmos have to say!
Aries
With your ruling planet entering the element of earth, this is a time to slow down and smell the roses! Abundance and positive changes are on the horizon, but you have to slow down and be present to see it. Don’t question if you’re ready, question how you’ll celebrate!
Taurus
This upcoming week can be a bit busier than expected, and perhaps shift your focus into getting more work done. This is a theme that can take place for the remainder of the month, so remember to implement self-care into your routine! This week may also call for an emotional release, which can clear up any doubt lingering about your plans.
Gemini
Your ruling planet has entered the element of water, which adds heightened intuition for you over the next few weeks. Be mindful to protect your mind, as it can also jump to a lot of conclusions this week! Give your plans and thoughts some time to fully develop, before making any changes, everything is flowing effortlessly!
Cancer
This week brings a sense of ease and tranquility to you, and hopefully will inspire you to rest! When was the last time you celebrated your work? Your current birthday doesn’t count either. Continue the celebrations this week and allow yourself to be fully supported by your loved ones.
Leo
Some major challenges could be taking place this week and can feel overwhelming; but you’re doing amazing sweetie! Although it may look or feel like chaos is in the air, there is actually positive changes taking place. Avoid making impulsive decisions and allow the dust to settle first.
Virgo
Your ruling planet connects to the planet of strategy and motivation this week, which is also in your element! Intentions can manifest with a lot more ease this week (and the next!). Speak clearly on your intentions and move with discernment accordingly! You’re so close to your goal, be mindful of lingering distractions.
Libra
With this moon taking place in your sign, this week can have you feeling more emotional and sensitive. But this also gives you more insight to current affairs, make use of this advantage! Instead of being hard on yourself and looking at what’s left to be completed, take a moment to recognize your effort. This week encourages healing, softness and grace.
Scorpio
Sometimes we become disappointed with the outcome we are given on certain affairs. But sometimes that disappointment was divine intervention and protection. You may find yourself shifting into a new direction, or receiving a new perspective on a situation this week. There’s no need to question this wisdom, especially if you haven’t abandoned yourself! Honour the tides by honouring all of the aspects and truths of you.
Sagittarius
This week can feel overwhelming as the moon opposes your ruling planet for a couple of days. Be sure to reflect on what you want to communicate, before doing so - this can avoid a lot of conflict! Perhaps taking a break and disconnecting would be best. Your frustration is completely valid, but beware of exhausting yourself.
Capricorn
A sense of ease and relaxation is in the air this week, be sure to take full advantage! Be open to receiving positive news and changes this week, as the cosmos have chosen you as the favourite! Communication and relationships could be given a boost and even upgraded. Remember, it’s okay to express yourself and be vulnerable!
Aquarius
Deep exhale for you this week (finally!) as things start to move with less force needed. It’s okay to still be skeptical, you should definitely prepare for “anything”, but be open to receiving your blessings now! More eyes could be on you this week, which could lead to growth in business affairs and more. You made it!
Pisces
The distractions could be heightened this week, which could make it difficult to complete certain tasks. Do whatever is necessary to remain focused, whether that means enhancing your boundaries or simply taking a break because you’re already doing too much! Frustration and stagnancy can be expected, deep exhales and keep swimming! This too shall pass.
