Hope you are all still standing after the crazy cosmic weather we’ve been having on planet earth, even though some of us might have been hurt in the process. You should be able to get your bearings back soon, as the cosmos is much calmer this week.

The week begins with the Moon in her home sign of Cancer.  It’s the last quarter phase. Time to look at what’s been working and what hasn’t, if you’re on target or off track from the intentions you set out at the New Moon.  With the Sun and Moon both in cardinal signs, we tend to want to externalise what we want, although some may still feel safer within themselves for the time being.  This is the time to surrender, let go, move slowly and patiently, allow healing to happen where wounds are exposed.

Moon goes void-of-course early today at 9.33am for the entire day until tomorrow at 1.56pm. Some astrologers say the Moon is not void in Cancer – either way, there’s a break from all the powerful tensions that fills the air.

We have an optimistic trine between Sun and Jupiter as well as some erotic spice courtesy Venus and Pluto. Trines tend to make things flow easily and smoothly. We have big dreams and goals and with the first aspect it provides enthusiasm and a bit of luck to make things go our way – restoring our faith in life. The second aspect makes it a good time to make big improvements in relationships as well as financial issues. It suggests either deepening a relationship or a chance for an easy release from a situation that is past its time. This is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we've done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to detail, planning and strategy - as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. With the trine between Saturn and Neptune  – maybe Saturn will breathe some new practical magic into our dreams.
