How have you grown emotionally and spiritually? What’s your next step? This is a good time to reflect and especially identify what helps you feel emotionally secure. It will take some time to get things moving, so plant seeds with your intentions.

Other Planetary Influences
Cancer is a very introspective time, which is deepened with five planets retrograde. When planets are retrograde it’s a reminder to slow down and be introspective. Each planet has specific characteristics that influence you. Learning how each of these is impacting you will help you understand yourself better. Let’s start with Mercury since it’s one of the fastest moving planets. Mercury is retrograde from June 18th through July 12th. Mercury influences all forms of communication. With this taking place in Cancer it’s helping you care for yourself. Review your internal dialogue and shift it to be positive, kind and compassionate.

Venus is retrograde until June 25th in Gemini. It will be moving through Gemini through August. Venus is the planet of love and money. It’s influencing ideas, communication and opportunities to network. It’s helping you tune into and communicate a new message of truth. What is she teaching you? She is presenting new options and possibilities, reminding you to stay mentally aware. She’s rewiring and activating your voice. Allow yourself the freedom to explore options, dream and breakout of your old value system. As you look within with these two planets retrograde and set your intentions with the Cancer New Moon, you’ll fertilize your seeds of intention to grow into something amazing.

Saturn (structure & authority), Jupiter (expansion & luck) and Pluto (power) are retrograde in Capricorn. This is helping you breakthrough outdated systems and structures. Jupiter is expanding the possibilities and seeing life through a new lens. Explore options and be creative. This helps you be open to new solutions.

Review your astrology birth chart and find out where these major changes are taking place. Look for patterns that give you insight into what you’re being called to do.  It provides a road map so you make the most of moving forward.
