You may find yourself torn between wanting to have fun and wanting to work hard to have more accolades and notierity. Your higher ups are definitly giving you the attention (and scrutiny) that you want so you're going to have to be careful that you present yourself as someone who is responsible and mature and who can make the right decisions. It's okay to have fun, to socialize, and engange in your hobbies on your own time --- just don't let it interefere with your work.

Full Moon in Capricorn

Full Moon in Capricorn

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon occupy the same degree of opposite signs of the zodiac.  As you can see from the chart above, the Moon is at 24° Capricorn and the Sun is at 24° Cancer forming an opposition creating a dynamic of challenging one another; something is being split or divided.

The Big Picture

Capricorn rules over our careers, ambition, profession, who you are in public. When the Full Moon is in Capricorn, people are more interested in the own careers. They want their work to not only be noticed but rewarded as well. It is important now that they are able to take constructive criticism well. This is a good time to re-asses goals and aspirations pertaining to your career; or have a talk with your boss or mentor about taking on more responsibility, or asking for a review of your work to see what you can do better.  

Cancer on the other hand rules over home, family, and who you are in private. So there is a divide here between the public vs private.  This is a dynamic that we will see play out in the world at large, and in our personal lives. We can see this dynamic play out by watching the news and seeing events take place in the lives of our friends and associations on social media.  

The Personal Touch 

To better understand how the Full Moon in Capricorn will affect you on a personal level, you need to look at your natal chart and determine where Capricorn and Cancer fall in terms of natal houses. These are the areas of life where you will feel a division.  For example, in my own chart the 3rd and 9th houses are affected. This can indicate feeling torn between the desire to play it safe close to home and the desire to explore the world outside my comfort zone.  

Where does the Full Moon in Cancer fall in your Chart and how will it manifest for you?

Affirmative Prayer for Mercury Retrograde

Affirmative Prayer for Mercury Retrograde 

I am in the spirit of God and the spirit of God is in me. Therefore everything that it true of God is true of me. My mind, body, and spirit are in complete harmony with the dance of the universe.  There is no relationship or eventuality for which I am not prepared to experience in a positive and healthy manner and from which I may learn and grow. I will meet the challenges before me with patience and the understanding that everything is temporary. Thank you God-in-Me for peace and harmony. And so it is. 

As above, so below

Mercury Retrograde July 2019

Mercury Retrograde 

7/07/2019  4:14 PM (Pacific) 

Oak Harbor, WA 

Mercury Retrograde is upon us once again.  It begins on Sunday July 7th in the sign of Leo.  What does this mean for us? Well Leo is the sign of the Lion, so it's no wonder that one of the keywords associated with Leo is "pride". Other words associated with Leo are arrogance and playfullness. So with Mercury RX in the fiery-fixed sign of Leo we can have a greater tendency to exhibit these traits in general.  

Leo is associated with drama and theatrics so we could crave more attention and love. This, in and of itself, isn't necessarily a bad thing but with Mercury in retrograde our efforts to get the attention and love that we seek can't always be well received. We need to make sure that we are considerate of the feelings of others, listen as much as we talk, and be considerate of others. 

In his journey backwards through the zodiac, Mercury moves into the water-cardinal sign of Cancer on July 19th. Whenever a planet ingresses (enters) a new sign, it is felt in the world. We can feel this shift as a more emotional nature (not necessarily tied to love) and so we may move to nurture our own needs in this area.  Again, it is important that we not be selfish and self-centered. This retrograde affects everyone and so everyone is going to need more emotional support and encouragement. We need to consider the feelings of others as well as our own. Try not to be too emotionally needy. 

The Aspects 

Looking at the chart above we see that Mercury is making a conjunction to Mars in Leo. Mars brings strength to our opinions and we're not afraid to share them with others. This can lead to debates or arguments about love, children, or creative expression. 

Mercury in Leo is making a square (hard aspect) to Uranus in Taurus. Uranus brings instability to how we exchange information with others. This can produce tension between ourselves and authority figures. Disagreements can arise with those in authority over how we creatively express our individuality, which may be more unusual and unconventional.  There is a strain here between the traditional and the non-traditional. 

Mercury in Leo is making a square (hard aspect) to Neptune in Pisces.  This can translate to an inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality.  We only see what we want to see and fail to take other people's opinion and perspective into account. 

The Sun opposite (hard aspect) Saturn and Pluto can bring up childhood issues and blockages that need to be confronted and healed. You may find that you're competing with yourself to achieve an unrealistic goal, or one that no longer seems important in the grand scheme of things. It is important to investigate why you feel you need to accomplish this, is it for yourself or are you trying to appease someone else (such as a parent). 

Finally we have a grand-water-trine between the Sun in Cancer, The Ascendant in Scorpio, and Neptune in Pisces.  This aspect accentuates the emotions, and we are better able to dig in and explore them past the surface level.  Our emotions and intuition is stronger now and we are able to put them to positive constructive use.  

The house(s) where Leo and Cancer fall in your natal chart are the areas of life where Mercury Retrograde will mostly be felt and affected by.  What are these houses in your chart and how will Mercury Rx manifest for you?

Venus in Cancer (General) 

When Venus (I Love) is in Cancer (I Feel), people are more emotional but may refrain from giving out their affection too easily.  They want a true romance that is lasting and are interested more in strength, loyalty, and security rather than more transitory relationships (i.e. hit it and quit it). Feelings and values regarding love and romance lean more towards the traditional and they are more patient and determined in their pursuit of love.  Familiar and predictive behavior is favored more when Venus is in Cancer and people are more apt to seek out love in their own community, neighborhood, or family (i.e. my brother's friend) rather than online or through dating apps. 

The House where Cancer falls in your natal chart is the area of life that is being activated when Venus enters Cancer. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Cancer is your 4th House. 
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Cancer is your 3rd House. 
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Cancer is your 2nd House.

Example. 

Venus in Cancer and the 9th House 

Using our keyword system, Venus (I Love) in Cancer (to Feel) in the 9th house of spiritual growth, dreams, and long journeys can translate to I love to feel free and independent. You are attracted to anyone now who can provide your with less restraint and more adventure in your life; someone who can broaden your mind on topics such as philosophy, the worlds, and higher ethics. You gain a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction from exposure to different cultures and belief systems and may travel outside your comfort zone, if not visiting another country you could experiment with foreign food or visit an ethnic community.
