Sun shifts out of debilitation and into Scorpio on November 16th, just before the Scorpio New Moon on November 18th. The coming month will request depth and introspection, peering into the unconscious terrain of your being, and gathering insights and pearls of wisdom. Sun in Scorpio shifts the light away from the most vulnerable and fragile time of year (Sun in Libra), towards looking at your darkness, pain and emotional struggles. Vulnerability emerges but through themes of sexuality and sensuality, as well as debts and grief, the past and illusions.

New Moon in Scorpio and Vishaka nakshatra arrives on the 18th at 04:42 am Mountain Time. Vishaka nakshatra is ruled by the dual god, Indragni. Indra is the king of the gods, while Agni is the priest. Both rely on each other and are interdependent on each other's skills and resources. One can not function without the other. The king relies on spiritual support from the priest, whereas the priest relies on the king's financial resources. Both are extremely powerful, yet their power doubles when they work together.

Agni is the fire of life, the powerful transformational energy of change, release and healing. Agni brings new life through digestion and assimilation. He connects us to the mouth, the portal of nourishment, where food is transformed into body and flesh. Agni supports the transformation of our offerings at the altar, in order for our gifts to be received by Spirit and the ancestors.

Vishaka nakshatra reminds us that two heads are better than one, that support and relationships are vital for life. This constellation also places an emphasis on duality and the need for integrating opposing forces. Differences can in fact be resources, rather than challenges that set us apart. How can you integrate opposing forces within you? Where are you in conflict with the illusion of difference and separateness? What inner conflicts are enlivened right now? What battles are you waging- against yourself and others?

This Scorpio Moon brings a new cycle that will encourage you to look at power in new ways. Identify your struggle and challenges with power. Where are you playing small and resisting your inner strength and empowerment? Where are you resisting goals and desires? What parts of you are stuck playing small when you know you have so much more to offer, share and express?

The coming weeks require deeper integration and balance between polarities, opposing forces and inner conflicts. Anger, rage, resentment and feelings of being stuck may emerge. Are you ready to change this dynamic? Action steps and new choices are required. Seek new types of support and resources to help you gather new insights and guidance. Collaborate and connect with others in new ways. Release the old in order to create space for new nourishment, wealth and bounty. If your old ways are not providing the results you want, try something new.

What needs to change in order for you to get new results? Where do you need more support, resources and guidance? How are you staying stuck, playing small and disempowering yourself? In what ways are you sabotaging your success, growth and strength?

Four Ways to Release Anger Right Now:

#1 

Anger is often a first response emotion. It can become an addiction to feel anger- especially if this is the way you learned how to feel and express. 

Anger happens to be the most socially acceptable emotion, so most people default to anger quite easily. Step number one is to get into the habit of checking in with the four levels of your being and do a self audit. This process can help you identify the experiences happening within your inner landscape so you don't disconnect from your body and emotions. 

Do A Self Audit

#2

What are you angry about? Who are you angry at? Consider this your challenge. Now use my Challenge Creative Ritual to identify, move and transform your anger into potent awareness. 

#3

Move your anger safely. Release anger and rage by screaming, yelling, punching pillows, throwing things (without harming yourself or anyone/anything else) and stomping. Get the sound of your anger out in a safe, contained space. Let the emotion move out and through your body.

#4

Tap and Rant. EFT is a powerful resource for moving emotions- especially anger. Tap on the heart point in the center of the chest or tap through the points as you speak your anger aloud. Don't hold back. Tapping through the points as you express your anger, will support its movement and release, without it getting stuck in your body.

The Sun just landed in Scorpio.

This past month of debilitated Sun is finally complete. Now the light will begin to strengthen in the coming weeks. As Sun passes through Scorpio, your depths will be called upon, as well as grief, unconscious programming and past pain. 

Read more about Sun in Scorpio. 

There have been many complicated transits and increased challenges for months now. Once the Kala Sarpa yoga completes in January, some of the big highs and lows will start to even out. Right now, integration, balance and harmony between extreme polarities- inner and outer- is key.

Exalted Mars in Capricorn is sparking anger, violence and aggression right now. Sun in Scorpio can intensify these strong emotions, if we are not doing our inner work.

Anger is in fact a powerful emotion, a change agent. 

It reminds you that a boundary has been crossed, that something feels unfair, that you have been wronged in some way. When you experience anger, there is an opportunity to find clarity about your needs and step into your power with more purpose. 


Far too often though, anger becomes an unconscious reactive emotion that never gets to truly serve its purpose- to wake you up! 

Right now, the planet and particularly the United States, is being called into action. So many are feeling very old, deeply embedded anger and rage rise to the surface. 

You may be feeling anger as a result of your own personal mythology, as well as a result of the collective consciousness.


Allowing your anger to move through you is potent medicine. But even more important than it's movement, is actually harvesting from this emotion. 

Understanding the deeper layers of your anger can help you awaken to needs, more nourishment and empowerment.

What you don't want to do is suppress your anger, or use it in ways that harm yourself and others. 

Systemically suppressed anger can become depression- which is ultimately a result of resisting your power. Anger is in fact a resource for tapping into your power, purpose and dharma!

Swati*

The week begins with a full Moon in Aries, a sign of head on focus and strategy. Transition and transformation abounds as Moon moves through Krittika nakshatra. Agni brings certain burning, clarifying and release in the cycle ahead. You can be sure a sense of inner clarity is coming. Get ready with action steps and awaken to your inner yes. Get in right relationship with your inner masculine and don't settle for mediocrity. Get idealistic! Get nourished! Get empowered! Sun finally moves out of debilitation early in the week and Venus will shift out of the challenging nakshatra of Mula later this week as well. Some smoother days are coming, but diligence with depth, darkness and healing is still required. Don't neglect your grief work.

Monday, November 14th
Moon in 15th to 1st tithi
Purnima to Pratipad

Moon shifts to Krittika nakshtara early morning, just as the Moon swells to fullness. In the early morning hours, the full Moon arrives at its peak. Full Moon is at 06:53am MST on November 14th while Moon transits Aries and Krittika nakshatra. Agni, the ultimate transformational energy, encourages change in the cycle to come. At the time of the full Moon, Sun is at the edge of Libra, still debilitated, vulnerable yet strengthening the implications of its weakness. Relationships, harmony and balance continue to feel the instability and conflict most directly. The coming cycle will encourage deeper integration of polarities and opposing forces. Moon is also poised at the edge of Aries and is sandhi (in the gap between signs) at the time of the Full Moon. The emotional body is begging for transformation, release and change at this time. This will likely be felt on the emotional body level through anger, rage, frustration and violence. What does this anger actually express? What needs are not being met? The divine feminine is calling out loudly and aggressively for change right now. The coming cycle will provoke clarity and laser focus about what works and what doesn't work for your nourishment and support. Find ways to integrate and harmonize opposing forces, imbalances with polarities- especially the masculine and feminine.

Read more about the Full Moon in Aries

The Moon continues through Krittika nakshatra today, but moves to Taurus shortly after the full Moon. As the emotional body moves into Taurus, it becomes exalted, increasing the strength of feelings, emotions, expression and the swelling of the inner waters. Saturn, Mercury and Jupiter give their gaze to the Moon in the coming days, provoking a greater need for balance, harmony and integration. Get in the body, meditate, release emotions, stay out of the mental body stories, seek nourishment through wisdom and understanding.

Tuesday, November 15th
Moon in 2nd tithi
Dvitiya

Just as Tuesday begins, Moon shifts into Rohini nakshatra and into mulitrikona degrees. There is emotional body strength but waves will be high. Saturn, Mercury and Jupiter give their gaze to the Moon now. Expansion and contraction request integrated balance- especially for the mental and emotional bodies. Creativity increases as well as nourishment. Goddess Saraswati and Lord Brahma request creative activation and manifestation. Say yes and receive. Align with your inner knowing and your needs, then take action. Discomfort is a reminder to lean in closer. Move closer to your emotions and find the needs underlying your scarcity story. Who are you without your story of lack? Just before midnight, Moon shifts to Mrigashirsha nakshatra and the divine nectar of the Moon awakens.

Sun moves to Scorpio on November 15th at 17:24, bringing more light and strength with it. However, this will translate as more inner light and strength due to the depth and mysticism of Scorpio. Turn your focus inward and deepen your awareness. Shine your light within. Sun joins Mercury and Saturn here, which is challenging for both Saturn and Sun as they are not friendly towards each other. The Sun purifies all that it touches, through heat, fire and agni. Saturn is old, slow and cold. He is set in his ways and requires steady, consistent steps in order for progress to be made. This opposes the forceful and powerful energy of the Sun. The challenge will be integrating the hard parts of yourself this month, the pieces that are stubborn, resistant, and that which refuses to change within your personal mythology. This process will require you are willing to bravely look at parts of yourself that have been hidden and in the dark far too long. Sun will shine the light. Will you be willing to see?

Wednesday, November 16th
Moon in 3rd tithi
Tritiya

Moon continues through the last pada of Taurus and Mrigashirsha nakshatra as the day begins. Mrigashirsha nakshatra is Soma's constellation, the divine nectar of the Moon. This powerful lunar amrita is the ultimate healing resource. The Moon is still large right now and full of light. Soak up the rays of Soma. Clarify and activate your needs. Find resources and gather support. The nourishment abounds! Are you able to receive? Emotional resistance will keep you from feeling well nourished. Let your inner waters flow. As Moon enters Gemini late morning, Venus gives her gaze to the Moon as does Ketu. More flow, increased creativity and connection is available right now, as well as sudden change and surprises. Communicate, express, create, co-create. Activate through your creative powers! Early evening, Moon shifts to the challenging energy of Ardra nakshatra. Stand in your strength and power, but make sure you're in right-relationship with it.

Thursday, November 17th
Moon in 4th tithi
Chaturthi

As Moon moves through Ardra nakshatra today, Rudra brings his energy of emotional opening- usually through aggressive and tumultuous upheaval. Expect the wrath of the masculine to be unleashed today. Are you in right-relationship with your inner masculine? Relationships may feel volatile as a result today. Keep clear boundaries and honor your needs for safety, clarity, nourishment and empowerment. Veils are being removed. Stay connected to your body and breath. Seek balance between masculine and feminine. Check your ego as it will likely be rooted in righteous indignation. Sun in Scorpio gains strength in degrees now, increasing the solar and masculine energies as well as the necessity to address the grief in the body and the soul. Early evening, Moon shifts into Punarvasu nakshatra and the abundant nourishment of Aditi arrives to soothe the challenges of the day. Land in her goodness, her soft holding, and allow yourself to receive the comforts of MA.

Friday, November 18th
Moon in 5th tithi
Panchami

Moon continues through Punarvasu and Gemini today, while Aditi brings her worldly support and resources. The challenge is to accept her wisdom. Unify power and peace. Where is the stillness within you? The calm beyond the storm? This is your unity. Beyond right and wrong and the disturbance of the critic. Enter your inner resiliency and find you well of reserve- your sacred, inner flowing waters. Before noon, Moon shifts to its own sign, Cancer. Move closer to your heart and land in your inner wisdom, in truth and light. Mars will give his direct gaze to the Moon in the coming days, which instigates aggressive emotions, anger, passion and hurt. Move closer to the challenge and listen carefully. Your emotional body has a message for you. A part of you feels wronged. A part of you is seeking re-connection to your own inner knowing, your source. A part of you is yearning for self empowerment. Align with your purpose and truth. Be honest with your needs and say yes to your heart wisdom. Late afternoon, Moon shifts to Pushya nakshatra. Integrate your light and dark pieces. You must lean closer to your grief in order for it to move. Where are you resisting your shadows, your hurt and pain? Dive deeply into your healing work and allow the grief to move.

Venus finally moves out of the challenging Mula nakshatra- after almost two weeks of forced letting go and chaos. This has especially impacted relationships, money, comfort and health. As Moon shifts into PurvaAshada, there is greater support from the essence of Venus. Read more about Venus in Sagittarius

Saturday, November 19th
Moon in 6th tithi
Sashthi

Moon continues through its own sign, Cancer, and through Pushya nakshatra. Brihaspati and the "nourishing star" bring support through sustenance. Physical support is essential today so attend to the body, breath and embodiment diligently. Exalted Mars gives his direct gaze to the Moon which can impact the emotions greatly. Express anger in cathartic ways and release emotions with intention so they don't stagnate. Touch the heart and notice what's on the other side of the intensity. See if you can find compassion and loving-kindness, even gratitude, mixed in with the pain. Late afternoon, Moon shifts to Ashlesha nakshatra and Sarpa's energy slides in. Mental body intensifies and requires taming. Continue to unleash the anger, but channel it consciously. Keep coming back to the body, even though the mind will be grabbing your attention. Breathe.

Sunday, November 20th
Moon in 7th tithi
Saptami

Ashlesha and Sarpa energy rules the day. Deception, illusion, confusion and uncertainty increases, with a taint of aggression and sharpness. Soften the edges with inner awareness and movement. It's important to get closer to your body and not get stuck in stories, thoughts, chitta vritti (mind stuff) and the imaginal. Get in control of the mind and affirm your inner knowing by dropping into heart. Early afternoon, Moon makes the tricky leap into Magha nakshatra and into Leo. This is a gandanta between water and fire, which makes the passage especially challenging. Magha is a fierce constellation that requests bold and daring actions, choices and behaviors. Ruled by Ketu, it can bring sudden changes and shifts. Ketu is also giving his gaze to the Moon over the next few days, as Moon conjuncts Rahu closely in Leo. Saturn's gaze slows the emotional body and increases the experiences of grief and sadness. Expect sudden emotional tidal waves and emotional body releases. Your job is to just surrender.

Monday, November 21st
Moon in 8th tithi
Ashtami

Moon continues through Magha for the majority of the day, sparking sudden and magnanimous changes. The ancestors rule the day, so be sure to honor them and pay your respects. Gratitude is the greatest medicine and a balm for the heart. Let Spirit and your lineage know what you honor them for and why you are grateful for their support. Look for messages and signs that they are listening to you. As Moon shifts late afternoon, to Purvaphalguni, Moon also moves to the inside of Rahu, re-starting the Kala Sarpa yoga effects impacting extreme highs and lows for all right now. Expect confusion, uncertainty and sudden, unexpected changes in the coming weeks. As Moon moves towards the tail of the serpent, Ketu, this is a cycle of release, loss and letting go. Read more about the impact of Kala Sarpa yoga right now.

November 29th: New Moon in Scorpio and Anuradha Nakshatra 


Mars in Capricorn

On October 31st at 20:35 MDT, Mars moves to his exaltation sign, Capricorn, until December 11th. This begins many fiery days ahead, with potent action oriented expression, as the warrior planet steps into his most powerful sign. There is much movement in the weeks ahead. The intention and driving force is nourishment and attaining the nectar of life. However, this process must be done with balance and attention to integration and harmony. If there is imbalance within physical, mental, emotional or spiritual bodies, challenges, pain and hardship will arrive. Suffering is optional. Pay close attention to your inner aggression and force. At the same time, notice where you are resisting the nourishment you crave. 

Gains come when you honor your dark, hidden desires. Lean into your fear more closely. Align with this resistance and keep moving closer to your pain. Keep peeling back layer by layer, to expose your needs more fully. Without moving closer to your terror, you are missing out on the deep nourishment and satisfaction you crave.

The heart seeks stability, grounding and focus. It needs integration, balance and co-creation. It wants to heal old pain and darkness. It wants your hidden grief to come to the light. Will you lean closer to it, in order for it to touch your conscious awareness? You want depth and pleasure, connection and pure relationship. How will you connect with this feeling unless your your heart is pure? Purify, clarify, release all that is stagnant within the chambers of your heart. Seek receptivity, openness and more life force energy. As you clean and clear, release and liberate yourself, an immense power can be released from within. Channel this power in effective and dharmic ways in order for maximum gains.

Venus in Sagittarius

Just before midnight on November 6th, Venus moves to a new friends' sign, leaping into the tricky gandanta (gap) between watery Scorpio and fiery Sagittarius. This transit lasts just under a month, until December 2nd. As Venus arrives in Mula nakshatra, expect change and turmoil with all things Venus related- money, relationships, comforts, women, creativity, the arts and commodities. The entire constellation of Mula is considered a gandanta, a gap, that provokes challenges, uprooting and change. As planets pass through this nakshatra, an inevitable transformation takes place with the indications of that planet. Mula is infamous for chaos, calamity, uprooting and imbalance, as well as adharma- that which is against dharma. At the same time, Mula can also bring great depth and spirituality, but often due to navigating hardship and challenge. Venus moves through Mula for the first 12 days of this transit and won't shift to Purvashada until November 18th. This is a delicate time- as transitions are taking place. Deepen your intentions and resolve. Clarify your purpose and needs. Take right action towards dharma; notice where you are derailing yourself and meeting your own self sabotage. 

The transit of Venus through Sagittarius will take a certain mental body strength and determination. The overall theme of this cycle is balance and integration- but through mental body channels. It's time to clean up the mind, the stories, illusions and imaginal realms that leave you in lack and misfortune. This is an opportunity to lean closer to challenges and seek the resources within them. A way to heal and transform hardship and turn it into support, guidance and wisdom. Take your lemons and make lemonade.

The heart is tender and soft, while relationships are passionate and fiery. Calm aggression and agitation by leaning closer to your heart wisdom. Listen carefully to your needs- for safety, support, holding and harmony. What is the deepest need you can find? How can you release and let go of fear and inner violence? The aggression towards the self? The aggression that gets transmitted to others as a result? Find the stillness. This is where your power, strength, courage and wisdom resides. Keep moving closer to your soft center. Lean in to you pain and struggles and seek compassion and loving kindness- for yourself and others.

The unavoidable changes of this Venus cycle provoke challenges with all things Venus. Women and your relationships will feel the most impact. This will not a comfortable ride for many.

In the coming days, stay closely connected to your needs, to heart and to your emotional body wisdom. Notice where you are disconnecting from your self, rather than staying close to home, to Self and spirit. What actions and choices need to be removed once and for all?

Stay away from excess sugar, intoxicants, alcohol, foods and choices that keep you disconnected. Be mindful of old addictive patterns and behaviors that may return at this time to sabotage your forward momentum.

Seeking clarity for the weeks and months ahead? Wondering how the transits will impact you- short term and long term? Get guidance, support and resources. Gather clarity for your path. Experience more ease and empowerment. Book A Session With Me

Mercury in Scorpio

Mercury shifts into Scorpio on November 8th at 11:54, for roughly three weeks. His fairly quick transit through the sign of depth and inner awareness, also brings a connection to Saturn at the same time. Mental body meets physical body, so it will be important to stay as resourced from your body wisdom as possible- for grounding, stabilizing and integration. This combination of Mercury and Saturn can increase mental worry, grief and fear. Look closely at these parts of your mind and work diligently to attend to and release the struggles and pains they provide. The fear is not the problem- it's your relationship with the fear that matters. Much learning can take place while attending to the mental body- stories, the imaginal, thoughts and perceptions. Track the mind carefully and lean in closer with compassion and loving-kindness. The mind will be your teacher in the coming weeks, attend to these challenges thoughtfully. The Sun continues to be weak and vulnerable until the 16th, which impacts the mind intimately. Mercury is the prince, whereas the Sun is the King. When the king is weak, so is the prince. This is a time to be inwardly focused and do necessary self development work. Just as seasonal cleanses are important for the physical body, use this time to detox and clear out the mind and emotions as well.

Full Moon in Aries

The November Full Moon is both vulnerable and dynamic. Moon will be transiting Aries and Krittika nakshatra at the time of the full Moon on November 14th at 06:52 am MDT. Beginnings arrive as Moon passes through the first sign of the zodiac, while Krittika nakshatra brings transformation, alchemical changes and fiery transitions. There is a potent co-creative energy taking place in the cycle to come. An interdependence and interdependence arrives with self and others. This supports passion, creativity, strength and clarity of purpose.

More details about the Full Moon coming soon in my November Full Moon Wisdom.

Sun in Scorpio

Sun moves to Scorpio on November 15th at 17:24, bringing more light and strength with it. However, this will translate as more inner light and strength due to the depth and mysticism of Scorpio. Turn your focus inward and deepen your awareness. Shine your light within. Sun joins Mercury and Saturn here, which is challenging for both Saturn and Sun as they are not friendly towards each other. The Sun purifies all that it touches, through heat, fire and agni. Saturn is old, slow and cold. He is set in his ways and requires steady, consistent steps in order for progress to be made. This opposes the forceful and powerful energy of the Sun. The challenge will be integrating the hard parts of yourself this month, the pieces that are stubborn, resistant, and that which refuses to change within your personal mythology. This process will require you are willing to bravely look at parts of yourself that have been hidden and in the dark far too long. Sun will shine the light. Will you be willing to see?

At the same time, this is a potent cycle to step towards your passions and purpose with more dedication, enthusiasm and authenticity. Moon is exalted in Rohini nakshatra just as Sun shifts into Scorpio. Don't discount the immense creative powers available to you during the cycle ahead. The old must be released, in order to make space for the new. What are you clearing out and letting go of? What are you consciously filling this space with?

Mercury in Sagittarius

Just as the month comes to a close, Mercury transits into Sagittarius and into Mula nakshatra for an extended stay on November 28th. The entire transit will last until February 3rd, an unusually lengthy dance of forward and backwards for this swift moving planet. Mercury will retrograde on December 19th for roughly three weeks, until January 8th. This prolongs his stay in the fiery sign of Sagittarius, who is fortunately a friend. Retrograde planets increase the strength of the planet and its indications, expressing themselves more as the nodes do- with excess, confusion and intensity.

As Mercury arrives in Sagittarius at the end of November, he also lands in Mula Nakshatra. This constellation is notorious for sparking change, transition, release and uprooting. As the planets continue to move through this portion of the sky (Sun next, then Saturn in the first part of 2017) inevitable shifts take place. Mercury will be in Mula for a lengthy stay in the coming months, moving in and out of this challenging gandanta of change. Mercury will leave Mula for the first time on December 8th, but will return on December 28th for over three weeks, until January 21st of 2017. The dance of Mercury in and out of Mula, will provoke deep mental body changes and challenges in the coming months. This is a powerful opportunity for uprooting old, outdated personal mythology with all things Mercury. This includes communication, connections, commerce, business, money, creativity, writing, computers and all resources of connection.

This transit of Mercury impacts the mental body, the mind, stirring a change process that impacts relationships, money, the feminine and creative powers. The cycle ahead supports change towards nourishment, fluidity and ease. An ability to arrive in the love and stay oriented towards the heart is possible- with courage and commitment. Get clear on what works for you and what doesn't. Communicate your needs authentically and purposefully, but through loving kindness. Work towards clarity with your inner authority and notice when you go against your needs out of fear or a misuse of your power.

Use this cycle to step into your creative powers more fully and bring more beauty into your home and heart. Seek balance- inner and outer. Move closer to your emotional body and deepen your feminine wisdom. Say yes to integration of fluidity and structure. Find your middle ground. Land and reconnect. 

New Moon in Scorpio

Just as the month comes to a close, the Moon empties. On November 29th at 05:18 Mountain Standard Time, the new Moon arrives in Scorpio and Anuradha nakshatra. Moon is debilitated and sits with Sun and Saturn in the sign of depth, transformation and the hidden realms. Debilitated Moon turns inward, softens the expression of the Moon and requests deep contemplation. This coming waxing cycle brings changes in creativity and courage while the passion of the heart strengthens and awakens convictions and empowerment.  

More details about the new Moon coming soon in my November New Moon Wisdom.

Aries: It’s a powerful time for career as your planet of luck, Mars, is exalted in your 10th house this month. Take action with clarity, focus, determination and commitment. Some release of old fears clears as a new stability arrives. Trust your steps. Meanwhile, Sun is debilitated in your relationship house until mid month, which asks you to be steady, gentle and inward, more than outward. Relationships may prove challenging, confrontational, harsh and unsupportive in the coming weeks. Address your deeper needs and notice what your heart is truly asking for. Allow relationships, children and clients to truly awaken you. What do you need? What are they mirroring to you? Everything that arrives is a mirror of the self. Enjoy the November full Moon in Aries!

Taurus: Continue seeking the stability and support you deeply crave and yearn for- especially in your relationships. There is a powerful transformation taking place on this level for you this month. Get clearer about your needs and requirements with self and others so that you can express and communicate these needs more authentically and fully. There is healing taking place with your needs and a release of past hurts. Uproot and let go of the past. Shine the light on your dark places and lean in closer to your pain. It’s the only way you’ll be able to fully confront the challenges you are feeling. As you release, deepen your intentions for what you are inviting in. Give to others what you seek.

Gemini: Relationships and romance get your focus this month, requesting clarity, communication and creativity. You are working on releasing and healing some very old grief and pain. Your digestion is working over time to let the past go. Do everything you can to support your stomach, the release process and constipated grief sitting in your gut. Exalted Mars in your 8th house forces the issue and is blatant about making you confront your pain, challenges, illusions and past. Debilitated Sun in your 5th house requests gentleness and softness with children, romance, clients and your own power. If you’re forcing, you’re missing the messages. Let your heart guide you and allow its wisdom to support your journey of awakening. Lean in to your emotions and the stories they provoke.

Cancer: Passion is alive in your 7th house of relationships as Mars moves through its exaltation sign. This can have powerfully positive effects on relationships or very challenging and aggressive tendencies. There may be disappointments or overly high expectations with others right now. You’ll certainly be confronting your inner challenges and anger. What are the needs not being met? What do you need for more trust, safety and security? As Sun moves through its debilitation sign in your 4th house of emotions, heart and home, there’s softening and an inward pull. This requires your attention and intention. Honor your needs for soft, gentle landings. Notice where you are being aggressive with yourself, where you are in battle with yourself. Seek resolution, integration and harmony.

Leo: The self is still in shadow and illusion with Rahu in the first. Life and direction likely feels confusing and uncertain.
