Around 10 AM PDT we’re snapped out of our revery surrounding the past ( the previous Moon conjunct South Node aspect) by some good advice, sound guidance, and/or the need to apply our smarts to getting business done (Moon trine Pallas)–but it all still feels very emotional, as the trine takes place Water sign to Water sign. With the mental faculties down (or at least modestly fuzzed) by the retrograde, feelings may appear to be bigger in our emotional rear-view mirrors than they actually are, especially those connected to the past–and that means we may be over reactive. Awareness of our tendency to exaggerate the emotional element should be enough to keep us from problems, however.

We cruise along on this Water to Water contact until around 5 PM PDT, when we see a sextile to Sedna and a trine to Jupiter, the latter of which completes a loose Grand Trine in Water. The problem here is twofold: 1) emotions and emotional perceptions flow very smoothly; the feelings flow into the social role and interactions, and they access what’s wise–sounds good, right? And it can be. except for 2) the fact that Sedna has wiggled in there, suggesting that we will not in any form see this dynamic at work–and that means it’s susceptible to unconscious influences, and to tipping our own unconscious inclinations to everyone else. There’s nowhere to hide during this effect, I’m afraid; we will reveal ourselves to others, they to us, and once again the best we can do is be scrupulously honest–if we have nothing to hide, there’s nothing to fear.

By midnight Pacific the Cancer Moon sextiles Taurean Venus, who, I suspect, may not have been receiving her total due of late, simply because we’ve all had so much on our agendas that there’s been little time for love or relationships–clear out a spot on your calendar to coincide with this aspect, and give the lady what she needs–she’ll be generous with you in return.

By 6 AM on the 21st the Moon will trine Uranus and quincunx Neptune, followed swiftly by a sextile to Saturn, the final aspect for this pass through Cancer. The effect may be a desire to blend with or work along with the group that requires some adjustment to either our ideals or our fantasies of what this experience will be like. With Saturn at 29 degrees, expect a bit of emotional distress, and a very short Void. The Moon enters Leo at 8:41 AM PDT on the 21st.
