About this episode
This episode discusses the astrological implications of Mercury transiting into Cancer and the upcoming Mercury Retrograde.
This week we're working with five transits, highlighted by Mercury transiting into Cancer on Monday. With Mercury Retrograde on the horizon, we have over two months ahead to reflect upon our past, and the way we're speaking to ourselves about it. The Sun in Gemini Sextile Saturn in Aries opens a question about self-love, and what it asks of us to take greater responsibility for it. Mercury Trines the North Node Retrograde in Pisces, helping us trace where our guilt, shame, regret and blame stem from. Then Mercury Squares Neptune in Aries, the harder aspect, where the past we'd rather not look at can no longer be ignored. We close with Jupiter exiting its Retrograde shadow in Cancer, completing an arc that began last August. This one's personal, too. We're recording from this home for the last time.
