The Sun enters into Cancer tomorrow and this means we’re at the official start of Summer! The Sun leaves behind the sign of the twins, Gemini and the energy will shift from feeling restless and curious to wanting to create a safe space and experiencing feelings more inwardly.

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, which is all about emotional needs, how you feel safe and when your soul feels nourished. These parts of ourselves will get highlighted during Cancer season as the Sun is tied to the Moon and her phases. So keeping a Moon Journal close would be so helpful to gain some insights of our emotionally inner world during this time. Especially when Mercury will enter into Cancer as well next week. Our minds, our thoughts will become more emotionally centred too.

I have the TimePassages app on my phone to keep track of the planets, but since the Moon changes signs every 2,5 days, I tend to look at the Moon phases more often. I find it incredibly helpful to actually be aware of ‘the mood’ every 2,5 days. As I’m writing this, the Moon is in Cancer and will enter Leo shortly.

While looking at the Moon transits, it’s best to keep your own Moon placement in mind. My Moon is in Taurus and the Moon transiting through the Earth Signs make me feel extra grounded and calm. The opposite sign, Scorpio, makes the energy feel more heavy and intense. Something else to look at would be the houses the Moon will travel through and if there are any natal planets getting ‘hit’. I love that feeling of awareness astrology brings into my life. Are you keeping a Moon Journal?
