Aries Moon and Venus Enters Cancer Today

"Let's go!" "Move em out!" "Ready set go!" says the Aries Moon.  Not known for endless patience but rather like a finger on the trigger, Aries is ready to thrust into a direction without a lot of forethought.   And thank heavens for that as sometimes we need to forge ahead without holding back.  If we were to consider all the possible outcomes, we may not make a move.  This cannot be more true than in war where one may not enter the battlefield if  truly cognizant that they may end their life. The goal of Aries is to develop courage and become the fearless warrior.   The Moon will engage in the theme of balance between self and other as it sits opposite Mars in Libra.  Seeking to find the harmony between opening oneself to the compromise of relationship and not losing oneself.  Taking down the shields of self protection just enough to be vulnerable to another.  Walking down the road of relationship without merging paths.  Keeping one's individuality a mist the inspiration and engagement with another.   The Moon will also pass by Uranus who indicates to Luna that you can maintain your authentic self and there may be a new way of doing just that.  As the Sun in Cancer wants to act based on consideration of feelings, the Moon desires to come from fiery inspiration and courageous action so your head and your heart may have differing agendas today.  Venus moves into Cancer today where it will remain until August 12th. Relating from our heart space is emphasized with this placement.  So while we experience the theme of balance in relationships and expression of self, we are reminded that we need to integrate the emotions.  Mercury is also residing in Cancer bolstering the expression of one's feelings when communicating.  Next month, all this Cancer energy will shift to fiery Leo.  Now is the time to listen to what feelings may be bubbling to the surface, accept them as transient and flowing, as well as important symbols of where we are emotionally vulnerable and open, while seeking to expand the heart.
