SATURN SEXTILE NATAL MOON

Saturn Sextile Natal Moon

Saturn sextile natal moon can be quite challenging.  However, because the energies of the Sextile aspect have to do with opportunities through engagement, there is a constructive energy that applies to this aspect.

Saturn is the teacher, the disciplinarian. Through hard work and a steady approach, Saturn’s energies can initiate achievement.  With the right amount of effort, especially when we are talking about the Sextile, Saturn can initiate the potential for long lasting gain especially through the feeling nature due to its influence in this case with the Moon.

Sometimes this will relate to the mother or important female individuals. 

Eventually after the sextile, Saturn will make a Square aspect to the Natal Moon, so what we do with the Sextile aspect will undoubtedly assist over time when the Square aspect comes into play.  The emotions will most likely be involved throughout this whole interchange, and Saturn makes emotional responses difficult even under the best of conditions.

Perhaps this relates to the home where the mother currently resides.  There is often a steadying and reliable situation when we speak of the home environment.  Perhaps the mother, who might be beginning to show signs of aging, will need to be placed in a home soon.  This can be a touchy situation because perhaps she feels like she does not need assisted living, but part of you knows that this is fast approaching.  The emotions come to the surface for both of you, but you know that something needs to happen soon, so you try to explain the situation to her.

This might be a good time to start to organize the placement, as it will likely take some time before things fall into place (Saturn’s influence).  You might want to take this opportunity (Sextile aspect) to get things moving in the right direction.  If there are challenging conditions coming into focus, (perhaps this aspect also forms a difficult aspect to Mercury) then perhaps her mind or your decision making is strongly affected by the emotional situation at hand.  You may have to make challenging decisions, and this can be even more challenging if Uranus or Pluto also connected by aspect.

For example, Uranus involved in the situation could bring things to a head when you least expect it, and Pluto could suggest that this will be life changing for your mother and likely for you as well. 

Much can be ascertained by the story written within the natal chart as well as other transits or progressions in place during the affected time of this aspect. 

Sextiles suggests that opportunities are in place, but that does not mean that it will be an easy journey.  The house position and Saturn’s natal position by house and aspect will further define what takes place as time progresses and the energies begins to come to the surface.

SUN IN CANCER 2024

The Sun moves from the Mutable, Air sign of Gemini into the Cardinal, Water sign of Cancer on June 20, 2024.  This is a huge transitional position when you think of the personalities involved.  Gemini is inquisitive and thinking and very much into communication, while Cancer is emotional, sensitive and very much into feeling.  The senses are open and operating at full capacity when we speak of the sign Cancer.

Those individuals that are born on the cusp of Cancer and Gemini will share some of each sign’s character traits; while the deeper we go into the sign of Cancer, the more the qualities of Cancer become apparent. 

The Sun has an orb of influence of 16°.  There will be individuals that have other indicators within the framework of their chart that puts emphasis on different signs and the Cancer traits may not shine through (as with any sign).  Much depends on the overall picture of the natal or birth chart. 

An example, someone who has their Sun in the very early degrees of Cancer (therefore having some Gemini traits) may also have Mercury and Venus in Gemini and the rising sign of Gemini. All of these planets in Gemini emphasize the Geminian traits but being in the first house (with Gemini rising) ignites Aries tendencies as well because the first house is naturally ruled by Aries.

Sun in Cancer

Those with their Sun in Cancer, the rising sign of Cancer or an emphasis of the fourth house will share some of these traits that we are about to discuss.  The Sun sign is always tied to who we are on an internal level, the rising sign is the way we represent ourselves especially when we first meet people, and the fourth house will have some traits similar to Cancer’s and much will depend on the planets found in this house as to how these energies and traits play out.

Cancer is a sensitive sign, emotionally driven and has strong nurturing tendencies.  Family and the family of friends are important factors in their lives.  Cancer individuals would likely consider themselves homebodies and their home environment needs to be peaceful and comfortable as this is where they can recharge their emotional batteries.  They are often quite affected by their surrounding and some take on the energies of others, so they need a place where they can unleash and rewind.

Cancerians can be action oriented and restless under the right conditions but also prefer to sit in comfort and watch TV or settle into gentle conversation with those that matter.  Their children and often their parents play an important part in their lives. Being a mothering type, Cancerians would like to help where they can.  They feel deeply and have a hard time keeping emotion inside although their symbol, the crab, can put up defense by going within the protective shell.  They are more sensitive than they would like to admit.  Some see their emotions as a vulnerability and do their best to show strength by hiding their emotions somewhat, but this can also be quite difficult.  Emotion is a virtue not a vice.  As much as they need to nurture, they also need nurturing themselves.

Heritage and the past are important to a typical Cancerian and their memory is usually quite factual as they remember more than most.  They are also very much into cooking, at least most of them, and they can be quite the master chef.  Some are also into antiques and have a close tie with the past. 

When emotionally hurt, Cancerians don’t forget.  Hurt runs deep and although they try to hide it, they hold on for far too long.  It is not that they can’t forgive but emotional hurt takes a long time to heal.

Many Cancerians are kind, gentle individuals that will do almost anything for you.  They are a friend that you can rely on, but stand on the wrong side of their temperament and you may not remain a friend for too long.  As they mature into themselves, they often learn to curb their emotion or at least try to accomplish this.

Cancer individuals should recognize that their emotional response is a strength and not a hinderance.

Happy solar return to our Sun in Cancer readers!

FULL MOON IN LEO 2024

Today, January 25, 2024, at 12:54 PM EST, we will be experiencing a Full Moon in the sign of Leo at 5°. 

Full Moon in Leo

This is a time when you perfected what you set out to do when we had the New Moon in the same sign approximately 6 months ago.  If you did not work at your goals that you set, perhaps now is time to readjust or let things go.  It takes work to reach this culmination point and those that started but did not continue their efforts may now fall short.

If you did the work, now is the time to reap the rewards for a job well done or an adventure orchestrated into being.  This is the time to infuse this objective into your life and use what you started with enthusiasm during the New Moon in Leo last August. 

When in the sign of Leo, it is important to realize that this project has been your responsibility and its success is focused on you.  Even in the beginning, you knew it was up to you, and you likely didn’t ask anyone for assistance although it might not have been a bad idea.  You felt you knew best and had the best intensions put in place to move ahead, which would not only advance your cause but also affect others in a positive way. 

If you have a planet in close proximity to the Full Moon’s 5° in Leo position, either by conjunction or opposition, this Full Moon energy will certainly affect you.  This also applies to the trine, sextile and square.  The easier aspects can be used in an easy flowing manner, while the more challenging aspects will require some push to make things happen.  Check which houses are involved in the connected placements and what planets (energies) are associated with these placements (including the transiting Moon).

Transiting Saturn in Pisces will be in quincunx to this position indicating some adjustment to the process.  Saturn is direct at 5° currently.  Saturn can make things a little tedious so you can expect some delays or obstacles to overcome while proceeding ahead. 

Transiting Jupiter, which is at 6° Taurus will be square to this placement perhaps making the adjustment caused by Saturn a little more difficult to handle.  Jupiter, although usually a favourable influence, can also expand the energies in place, making life a little more difficult as it amplifies Saturn. A square is difficult enough that it pushes so that we want to find a solution to overcome the adversity.

Enjoy the fruits of your labor with the energies of the Full Moon in Leo and continue your forward motion.
