GUT INSTINCT

Gut Instinct

Have there been times when you wished you had listened to your gut instinct, to your intuition (call it what you will)? 

We can often fall short and make mistakes when we don’t.  We just know or instinctively understand that we should not take a certain path, but we do, and something takes hold that could have been avoided. 

In most cases, our instincts can be overruled by our mind or emotions, and we follow blindly forward sometimes into unknown territory and almost anything can happen.  Sometimes the unexpected takes hold and we are victims of our own choices and actions. 

“I should have listened to my heart”, “If only I had followed my gut”, or “When will I learn to follow my instincts?”, are common questions.

Poor decisions can be brutal, but in many cases, they are learning tools.  We gain immensely from these so-called mistakes.  They are our teachers, and we must listen when life’s twists and turns seem to dictate.  The path we take is the road we are meant to follow, no matter how difficult it is.  Change that is required will not unfold without these important but difficult steps through learning experiences.

Gut instinct, however, can help us when we are in situations that might be dangerous.  Sometimes our gut instinct is so powerful that it stops us in our tracks and pushes us in a new direction.  Sometimes these new directions seem far from where we want to travel but life pushes us that way anyway and we, at times, may have little choice but to go with the flow.

When we are too impulsive, we get little warnings.  When we need to make changes, we get little nudges suggesting that we move in a new direction. Sometimes our impulsive actions cause very difficult repercussions.  Sometimes when we do not listen to the little nudges, we get kicks and if we don’t listen to the kicks, life uses forceful energies to take us in that intended direction. 

We need to listen carefully to what our gut is telling us and pay heed, especially when a part of us knows which direction to take.  Do not run from adversity. Face challenges head on and move in the intended direction that is required.

We have intuition, gut instinct, a simple knowing (again call it what you will) for a reason. Utilize your gut instinct.

NEW MOON IN CANCER, 2024

New Moon in Cancer

On July 5, 2024, we will be experiencing a New Moon in the sign of Cancer at 14°.  This New Moon will impact those with planets or angles in their natal chart that fall withing 3-5° of this New Moon’s placement either by conjunction or opposition and to a lesser degree the Square, the Trine and the Sextile. The three latter aspects should be giving a tighter orb range.

This will be a time for nurturing and looking after those that you are close to.  This will include your children, parents, close friends and spouse.  Your emotions run high under this influence, and you are sensitive to any emotional hurt or mental anguish that might be experienced by any of these people. 

If you find that all is good with these individuals, then perhaps you are the one in need.  Perhaps someone has hurt you emotionally, and you are going through a hard time recovering from what has taken place.

If this is the case, sometimes we just need to let go and move forward, leaving the past behind and letting go of the hurt.  This can be difficult depending on how severe the incident might have been, but we all have the ability to recover from severe incidences in our lives.  If this pertains to one of your children, you will have to ascertain what is best under the circumstances, and of course their age, as you must deal with everyone on a different level.

The sign of Cancer can sometimes be related to issues from the past that may not have been dealt with accordingly.  Perhaps you need to clear up the residue of emotions or events from earlier times because you never fully dealt with them at that time.  The memory may be restored and suddenly you now recall what took place in a much clearer manner. Now might be the time to deal with this matter not only from an emotional perspective but rationally and with compassion at the same time.

This may also involve one of your parents and perhaps the time has come to think in terms of their health and welfare.  Perhaps they are of the age where you might want to look after them or they may need to investigate a retirement or senior’s home. 

The New Moon in Cancer, 2024 is a time when the senses are activated, and the intuitive side of life seems to come to the surface.  Channels may open for you and your insight may increase; much depends on the openness you have in these areas.

The New Moon’s energies have some type of focus on the beginning process, the time to plant seeds in the garden of life. As a result, it will be interesting to see where things travel as we nurture, progress and reach our culmination or harvest point in about six months’ time when the Full Moon is in the sign of Cancer.

AS NEPTUNE TRANSITS THROUGH THE ZODIAC

Neptune is the planet of illumination, inspiration, intuition and psychic access.  It has also been tied to ambiguity, confusion, dismay, vulnerability and not seeing things as they truly are.  Neptune is the planet of psychic awareness even under the most distressful aspects and can be illuminated but twisted when in challenging situations.  Neptune is spiritual, can be religious, and will enhance your perception and any psychic inclinations you may have.

As it makes contacts with planetary energies within the framework of your natal chart, it will illuminate the energies of the planet and merge its emeries with the planet in question, especially when a conjunction is taking hold.  In some cases, Neptune will help solve issues that have been plaguing the individual especially when aligned in positive aspect to Mercury or Jupiter. 

In contrast, if Neptune is making a hard aspect like a square or opposition to Mercury, you will want to make sure that you are not blowing things out of proportion, and you should ensure that you are seeing things as they truly are.  Help from outside sources is often suggested especially if your Natal Mercury is under stressful aspects to other planets particularly to Neptune in the birth chart.

Neptune Transits Through the Zodiac

Transiting Neptune to the Sun or your North Node can bring forward goals and your life’s path can be highly attuned to deeper insight, and assistance may surface from outside sources that you may not have deemed likely in your life.  You may have visions or dreams that can open doors that have been closed or not even apparent for many years.  Neptune can instigate psychic energies that are straight from the light and into your consciousness for the first time in your life or open channels greater than those available before this time.

As Neptune moves into Aries next year (2025) perhaps this might be a time when we move ahead with our own objectives in a more intuitive and spiritual quest and change the course of our own personal lives slowly as its energies unfold. 

Neptune also has to do with talent as it rules Pisces and the twelfth house.  Music, acting, art, etc. can become highlighted as Neptune opens pathways that have been closed prior to now.  Neptune can be magical in its delivery when well aspected to natal positions. It may bring energies you never believed could take hold in life. 

Neptune in Aries sounds personal and that is just what it is.  In the past 14-15 years, Neptune was in Pisces and what we were taught during this stay in Pisces can be used in personal terms.  This can be a time of awakening to your higher self, stimulating your intuitive faculties and bringing to life what you never deemed possible. 

Use Neptune’s energies to the best of your abilities and uncover the mysteries of life.

What energy is available to you as Neptune transits through the Zodiac?
