The Cancer-Capricorn axis can be a battle of polarities – inclusion vs. exclusion and feminine vs. patriarchal. Economically, we see this polarity as the guns vs. butter struggle with our political decisions. Soul searching becomes necessary. Its okay to consider a one year 700 billion dollar war budget and yet eliminate that much for healthcare over the next 10 years. And so it is that these themes and extremes are exposed when the inner planets in Cancer oppose Pluto Rx in Capricorn, and square Uranus in Aries.

Chiron follows up Neptune in Pisces for it final retrograde in that sign. Feelings of disillusionment and disappointments may continue. Venus in Gemini will square the nodal axis setting up boundaries with our self-reliance while ameliorating when and how we extend the helping hand to others. Venus will enhance Gemini throughout July, so stepped up communications around values are highlighted. Be alert for slick sales pitches and watch your words in response.

Finally, The waning inconjunct of Jupiter to Neptune in the mid-degrees of Libra-Pisces brings more reality checks and behavioral shifts in our social circles as we re-define our core aspirations and adjust with whom and what we wish to share on this fascinating journey to the core of the Soul.

We are just beyond the halfway point of Saturn’s retrograde cycle with its opposition to the Sun, so continued focus on the “truth vs. lies” theme.
Chiron will soon follow Neptune, going retrograde in tandem in Pisces. Finding truth and throwing off what is not real helps us to transcend life and all the disappointing news cycles.
The New Moon in Cancer, with Mercury and Mars close by, will march toward oppositions to Pluto Rx in Capricorn. Combined with the cardinal T-square of Jupiter in Libra, Pluto and Uranus in Aries, those Cancer planets will continue to be strong emphasis on exclusivity or lack of compromise, lines in the sand, haves vs. have nots until progress demands we do things differently.
The Sun in Cancer mantra is: ” I evolve emotionally with self-responsibility.”
Venus’ waxing trine to Pluto Rx @ 18* Taurus-Capricorn and the grand fire trine of Uranus @ 27* Aries, Saturn Rx @24* Sag, and the North Node @26* Leo are a creative burst forward for us amidst the inner processing.
Finally, Mercury speeds up, conjoins and then laps Mars on June 29 @17* Cancer. Mars will have made a last quarter square to Jupiter in Libra @ 13* Cancer-Libra and a waxing trine to Neptune @ 14* Cancer-Pisces so our true redemption remains contingent upon feeling deeper and deeper levels of inner security, guiding our actions forward on the journey to the core of the Soul.

Lots of soul searching on this Sagittarius Full Moon weekend with the planetary ruler of Sag, Jupiter, also stationary direct at 13* Libra. Expect our relationships to reflect a renewed search for truth, understanding and fairness with some emotional piques along the way.
Neptune will move stationary retrograde as well on June 16 at 14* Pisces, slowly dissolving illusions and fantasies we may have constructed. This may result in some summertime blues as we remove those stubborn barriers that keep us from the highest and clearest relationship to Source.
The Sun in Gemini opposes Saturn Rx, also in Sagittarius, on June 15 following the Full Moon and could bring some frustrations.
Finally, Mercury adds ingredients to the mix with a waning trine to that Jupiter in Libra and a waxing square to Neptune. Overall, a good mantra may be “Show me the truth, show me the truth”

Our common experiences will now be colored by the inner planets changing signs and Jupiter and Neptune changing directions.
Mars reluctantly enters Cancer (June 4 – July 20) to process a new level of emotional intelligence prior to taking on any new summertime projects. Mercury into Gemini and Venus into Taurus, signs that they rule, so expect some emphasis on refining values and communicating those values in our decision-making.
Venus conjuncts Uranus @ 27* Aries indicating the potential for conflicts, upsets and surprises in relating. (R)evolutionary Love anyone?
Saturn Rx in Sagittarius trines the nodal axis and will certainly reward our efforts to date, particularly if our actions and accomplishments have been congruent with our core beliefs.
The Sun in Gemini makes a waning trine to Jupiter SD in Libra. This will bring some much needed clarity and sincerity to our conversations. Presentations, public speaking and direct communications are emphasized.
Finally, ultimate truth becomes the search with Neptune turning SR halfway through its own sign of Pisces from 14* Pisces back to 11* for five months. Map out the middle degrees of the mutable signs in your chart for illumination on this magnificent journey to the core of your Soul.

The applying T-square of Mars, Saturn and Chiron, in the mutable signs, strongly suggests that now is the time to be actively pursuing self-healing strategies. Be open to new revelations, modalities and processes that may have been avoided or discarded to date; and then be willing to adopt one this summer.
Sun in Gemini mantra is “I gather information with intuitive searching” The New Moon @ 5* Gemini on May 25th is a powerful intention point for this.
Remember that Mars Saturn hits have the potential to cause frustration and may also set up certain power struggles and many righteous conversations.
Be the wise one to step back and slow down the energy as we enter the holiday weekend. On a collective level and considering the charts of the current U.S. president and the U.S. chart, the time between mid-May and September of 2017 will most likely portend additional fireworks and confrontations from Washington, culminating in the solar eclipse that literally dissects our country on August 21. The institutional breakdowns highlighted to date by transiting Pluto in balsamic phase to the U.S. Pluto in Capricorn are being managed naively by defensive politicians and a weary free press. This stand off will most likely result in more dramatic news, saber rattling,  economic upsets or outright war during the third quarter of 2017.

Mercury direct, now in late Aries and within orb of conjoining Uranus, also forms a mutual reception with Mars in Gemini waxing semi-square Uranus, and thus continues the theme of spring activity, many surprises and lots of verbal excitement. Pacing and prioritizing are necessary to avoid becoming swept up in someone else’s chaos. The nodal shift to Leo-Aquarius will spawn a dramatic surge in creative activism over the next year and a half. The resistance movement will be emboldened as more and more promises are broken, freedoms and healthcare erode, while patriarchal barbarianism seems to take over our national and international politics.

The active many shall overcome the ruthless few as Mar’s waxing square to Neptune in Pisces and waning trine to Jupiter will provide additional inspiration and ease for those on this path of awareness and activism. The mutable signs are activated with Mercury’s waxing trine to Saturn in Sag @ 27*. It may be no coincidence that the 28* Sag point is the Galactic center. The explosion of alternative facts and fake news is challenging us to recognize and intuit the validity and relativity of truth. The approaching Sun in Gemini mantra is: “I gather information with intuitive searching.” Stabilizing and balancing transits include the Sun in Taurus’ trine to Pluto in Capricorn and Mercury’s upcoming ingress into Taurus May 15th.

Finally, our most influential long term transit is Jupiter Rx @14* Libra making the waning inconjunct to Neptune in Pisces. This has been affecting relationships since October 2016 and will be strongly in orb May through July 2017, through Jupiter stationary direct and Neptune stationary retrograde. So ask yourself “What blindspots must I heal and what real outer adjustments must I make in order feel congruent in my relating scene personally and professionally?”

Late April has been confounded by 5 planets retrograde and inner planets changing signs.
Venus, now moving forward and back in Aries until May 6th, will challenge us all to be more direct and assertive in expressing ourselves. Venus will record 97 days in Aries before entering Taurus May 15th, demanding activism and movement on those newly minted values spawned during the retrograde.
Mars makes a waxing square and a half to Pluto SR, so confusion continues as the power grabs and control issues result in confrontations and some deadlock. Where can you be flexible without giving yourself away?
Mercury direct @ 24* Aries will then conjunct powerful Uranus @ 26*. Map out these degrees in your chart (and all the late cardinal degree points) for maximum effects personally. Ideas can be easily accessed and conveyed now. Watch the tendency to convert and renovate another’s opinions. Internally, a good time to meditate for the highest and best answers to those prayers and intentions you have been marinating upon. Tune in to any repetitive messages coming through in dreams and quiet times as the veil is thin now and resolutions are facilitated.
Finally, Saturn Rx last quarter square to Chiron in Pisces will cause some re-assessment of our most cherished beliefs. Refine those beliefs, then move gallantly forward on this springtime journey to the core of the Soul.

A shower of April transits keeps the energy erratic, exciting, and somewhat volatile.
For the next week or so, with Pluto SR standing still in the sky from our geo-centric viewpoint, reality checks will be needed. The Soul will want to push forward but hits a Capricornian wall of rules, regulations, red tape or just downright resistance.
Adding to this mix is Mercury Rx, just beyond its retrograde halfway point, touching in to sticky Taurus. Upon re-entering Aries, Mercury will trine Saturn in Sagittarius. The spin and mistruths continue to be revealed as celebrities are unmasked and the real facts are exposed. This is classic frustration, so prioritize the details well and use the Taurus mantra often: “I create self-reliance with every metamorphosis”
Furthermore, Mars ingresses Gemini and will square the nodal axis, amping up the pace of activities and communication requests from others, making for a very exciting weekend. Stay focused and have some cellular discipline, particularly when driving. A little humility and understanding goes along way with Mars’ aspect to Jupiter in Libra. The communication squabbles continue if you wish to be the blowhard and choose not to listen well. Remember the old adage: “You do not learn anything when talking”. The New Moon @ 6* Taurus on the 26th and Mercury SD May 3rd should bring some calming spring breezes your way on the ever-freshening journey to the core of your Soul.

Only considered and conscious actions should be taken when Sun and Uranus align in impulsive Aries. The late degrees of the cardinal signs also continue to be supercharged.
With Mercury retrograde, we must practice much more self-forgiveness than usual when interacting with technology, travel plans, and appointments. Mars finishing up in steady Taurus will aid in some grounding, making aspects to Chiron and Saturn Rx. This may result in some internalized slow downs and value reviews. Mercury’s interior conjunction is April 19th, alleviating some of the detail chaos.
Venus now stationary direct in late Pisces, continues the challenge to further define our beliefs and ideals, ethics and scruples; our character. How large can you expand your circle of inclusion without judging another’s mores or standards? Venus’ new cycle around the zodiac begins April 28th re-entering Aries. What about your financial goals and values? How do they align?
Finally, the Sun makes a waxing trine to Saturn Rx @ 28* Sag just before entering Taurus. Be looking for some unexpected truths to be exposed and a burst of creative inspiration. May you fully adopt the Taurus mantra of “creating self-reliance with every metamorphosis” on this value and resource journey to the core of your Soul.

We have a host of retrograde planets, as well as the asteroid Lucifer. The Sun will trigger and invigorate the cardinal T-square on a full waxing Moon weekend,  so slow down and be much more cautious and careful.
Sun @ 18* Aries opposes Jupiter in Libra squaring Pluto SR @ 19* Capricorn. The emphasis is now on releasing all those outworn relationship scripts. Venus Rx @ 28* Pisces makes a waxing square to Saturn SR @ 28* Sag. The resolutions to those old scripts will only occur to the degree you accept maximum responsibility for all that you bring into the relating sphere. No projections allowed.
Eris, an archetype of the warrior goddess, conjoins the Sun and Uranus enlivening 21* – 25* of the cardinal signs. Check out those degrees in your own chart while envisioning peace for all.
Finally, Lucifer Rx @ 7* Sag will attempt to undermine our truth. Be alert to con jobs, watch out for spin in the news cycle, and overselling of any kind. This is where evolution turns the light switch of the returning forces on very brightly; illuminating the path to the core of your Soul.
