One of the most important astrological movements this week is the entry of the sun into Cancer on the 21st. Congratulations to all the natives of this sign! To be clear, we continue in the kabbalistic month of Sivan, or Gemini, which governs the lunar cycles. But we cannot ignore such an important movement as the entrance of the sun into a new sign.
Cancer is the only sign ruled by the moon. The moon is the satellite of the earth, but in astrology, it is considered a planet. We know that the moon does not have its own light, and we see it because it reflects the light of the sun. This is why it is so difficult for Cancer to see its own Light. It is a sign that often seeks brightness through others by being codependent, avoiding maturity, and taking responsibility.
The moon represents our feelings and emotions. It is also a symbol of variability by showing us a different face every night. The same goes for Cancer; they have ever- changing feelings, just like the moon, making it the most emotionally changeable sign. This causes uncertainty and continuous insecurity for those born under this sign. In Kabbalah, we know that only the Light can truly fill our emptiness, and when we connect with it, we live in absolute certainty. This week we can learn this lesson with the entry of the sun into Cancer. All family and home issues are improved but take care to balance emotions and not fall into manipulation or victimization.
Mercury, the planet of communication and ideas, is in Gemini. This placement strengthens it, which benefits us this week as it offers the energy of eloquence, clarity, intelligence, logic, and a great ability to communicate and put our ideas into words. On the 22nd, Venus, the goddess of love and affection, joins Mercury in Gemini. With this influence, we can expect a versatile love that is fickle, flirtatious, and shallow, which can affect our relationships. Take this energy into consideration so you can balance it out with more commitment and depth in relationships.
We have Mars and Jupiter in Aries, which will make us feel energetic, especially since Mars is precisely the planet that rules that sign. During this period, we can be more bold and courageous but also aggressive, reactive, impulsive, and selfish. It is easy to fall into confrontations, and there is a lot of intolerance, but there is also a lot of willpower, desire, and determination. That force can go against our reactive system and our desire to receive for ourselves.
There is a good balance in the sky this week. The planets are evenly distributed in the different elements of fire, earth, air, and water. This balance creates very good harmony in the cosmos, however, the balance is tilted a little more by the air signs, which help us to communicate better and be more sociable.
This week's portion is Korach, a character who allowed himself to be emotional and open the door to jealousy and envy. These attitudes are characteristic of the water signs, attitudes in which we could all fall into this week with the influence of the sun in Cancer. On the other hand, the use of bad language also comes into play, associated with the element of air, which this week is found in several planets located in Gemini, a sign that needs to be very careful with its words. Evil tongue or lashon hara is manifested in the portion of the week. Watch your words and control your emotions, since by allowing this energy to influence us, we can bring negativity to ourselves and others, as Korach shows us in this portion.
As for the phases of the moon, this week, we are in the last quarter from the 20th to the 28th. This energy is great for endings since it is the last stage of the lunar cycle and with it comes closures. It invites us to question, analyze, and reflect on what we have experienced in recent weeks. It is good to let go during this stage and even do a detox. It is definitely not a good stage to start projects, but it is an excellent week to look back and thus see what was good and what can be improved.
With this perspective, we can look forward to the New Moon that is before us in Cancer. Think about what you want to plant. What will the seed be for your coming month of Tammuz? My recommendation is always to plant a seed in the New Moon that has to do with the nuance of the sign. Cancer, as we have seen before, is the sign of home and family. So, look for something in these areas of your life that need work and improvement. Think about relationships with parents, siblings, or children. Or consider the decoration of an area in your house. Plant the seed on the 28th with the entrance of the lunar cycle of Cancer. For now, there are still a few days left to connect with Sivan, the month of Gemini, and prepare for our next month.
We start the week with a very sensitive energy on Monday. This is excellent for praying, meditating, and acts of kindness. We can be very empathetic, but we must be careful about evading order and responsibility. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we enjoy great energy since during these days, the moon joins Mars and Jupiter in the sign of Aries, giving us a lot of willpower, desire, courage, and bravery. In general, it is an excellent time to exercise. Be careful not to be impulsive. For Friday and Saturday, we have the moon in Taurus, which gives us stability and an openness to enjoyment and pleasure. Do not connect only with physical things; try to see the Light behind the material and be aware of stubbornness. Finally, on Sunday, communication, ideas, and socialization open up. Just watch your words and pay attention to what you say.
