Cancer Season Is Here — & Your Love Life Is Going To Be Chaotic
Welcome to Cancer season and the summer, too! The planetary ingress will be extremely messy and dramatic, so from 21st June, grab a box of tissues. The planets aren’t playing, but they are leading us to a place of wisdom and emotional upgrades.
The next few weeks will be extremely intense due to the fluctuating energies at play. On June 21st, the sun gets a healing touch from the centaur Chiron, which is in Taurus. Two days later, the sun and the North Node of Destiny harmonize, offering us the chance to accept our fate. Then June 25th brings the sun and Neptune in Aries together, making us hypersensitive to the world and the people around us. The sun and Saturn in Aries share a fraught moment on July 6th, urging us to be more responsible and authoritative. The sun and Mercury form a conjunction in Cancer on July 12th, creating the “cazimi” effect, which enlightens our minds with knowledge.
Our love lives won’t be any less chaotic, especially since Venus in Virgo contacts the South Node of Destiny until July 10th, encouraging us to feel a kinship to past relationships. We might feel stuck in current partnerships, which could lead us to seek refuge in the arms of an ex, given that Mercury is in retrograde at this time. It may seem reasonable to flirt with “the one who got away,” but the ramifications and consequences may not be worth it. Our sentiments will change when Mercury turns direct on July 23rd. Venus in Virgo squares Uranus in Gemini on July 13th, motivating us to break free of dynamics and structures that are rigid. We are craving autonomy and freedom in matters of the heart. Plan a trip out of town with friends to have independence and fun.
The end of Cancer season brings an astrological aspect known as Barbault Basket, which is similar to a cradle, which is a geometric shape similar to a trapezoid that consists of an opposition (in this case, it’s the 180 degree polarity between Jupiter and Pluto retrograde), three sextiles (the 60 degree distance between Jupiter and Uranus, as well as Neptune and Uranus, and Jupiter and Neptune), and two trines (the 120 degree aspect between Jupiter and Neptune and Uranus and Pluto retrograde). The opposition creates the contour of the foundational shape, the trines connect the inner planets, while the ones that are sextilng each other tie the outer planets together. Four planets — Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto retrograde — connecting from July 15th to 21st, at 4 degrees. The “four 4s” are bringing an existential crisis of sorts that leads us to a transformative state. Let’s break it down. Uranus in Gemini unites with the fixed star Hyadum I, creating an immense desire to rebel against authority. Neptune in Aries linked up with the fixed star Deneb Kaitos, offering us a metaphoric spiritual awakening. Pluto retrograde in Aquarius connects with the fixed star Oculus, making us aware of what others don’t notice. Their missteps, avoidance, and oblivion will give us the upper hand, so use it to your advantage. All the while, Jupiter in Leo urges us to put our needs and desires first. Our knowledge of matters will shift, changing our opinions and mindsets. Four is numerologically aligned with the home and security. Therefore, we can expect powerful shifts in our personal lives, particularly in our foundations.
By the time the sun waltzes into Leo on July 22nd, we will be on an upward swing that allows us to transcend to an evolved mindset. Having the right amount of support and self-determination will catapult our consciousness to an enhanced state of being.
