WEBVTT 1 00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:07.320 Welcome back to another episode of Astrology with Alice. I'm 2 00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:09.599 your host, Alice Fell, and today we have the Cancer 3 00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:13.519 Season monthly forecast. I'm actually putting this out a few 4 00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:17.480 days ahead of Cancer season starting. It doesn't technically begin 5 00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:20.800 until June twenty first, but it lasts until July twenty second, 6 00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.760 but we haven't action packed month ahead of us. So 7 00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.359 there's a lot happening astrologically. Jupiter is changing signs, it's 8 00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:32.000 moving from cancer to Leo. We also have a mercury 9 00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.399 retrograde starting in cancer, and Mars is entering Gemini, which 10 00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:38.920 is really important because it's going to trigger that longer 11 00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:42.719 transit of Uranus and Gemini. So all of that stuff 12 00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.719 we went over with the Urinus transit stories episode. Expect 13 00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.439 activity in that new house of your chart to be 14 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.520 more set into motion over the course of the next 15 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:55.960 few weeks. It's actually bad, Like I don't I'm not 16 00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.119 really like caring about mercury retrograde starting. I'm just so 17 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.399 happy that Jupiter is leaving my twelve house this month. 18 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.079 It's like new beginning, coming out of hiding over the 19 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:10.680 last year. I honestly though, like looking ahead at the 20 00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.760 mercury retrograde beginning at the end of June. I do 21 00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:16.000 see this one as being more chill than the one 22 00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:19.400 we got back in early March. That one was so chaotic. 23 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.959 It was mercury retrograd in Pisces, and the reason it 24 00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.159 was felt like very intensely for a lot of people 25 00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.879 was because it ruled the Virgo lunar eclipse that was 26 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.879 happening at the same time. So in contrast to that 27 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.840 time period late February early March, mercury isn't being given 28 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:41.680 that much power during this retrograde, So I kind of 29 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.599 expect things to feel slowed down, but not in that 30 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.200 same chaotic like what's happening in my life? Why is 31 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.079 everything going wrong? Type of way. But we'll get more 32 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.799 into specific details regarding all of these transits and more. 33 00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.359 I'm gonna be going through all the transits for cancer 34 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:03.000 Season week by week, so you can easily refer back 35 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:06.200 to key dates that I talk about. Before we get 36 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:08.439 into that, though, I just have a couple of announcements. 37 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.080 The Cancer Season in depth monthly horoscopes will be out 38 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.439 on Substack on June twenty first, so this coming Sunday, 39 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.159 So if you want to know what all of what 40 00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:19.919 I'm about to talk about means for your specific chart. 41 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.960 That's a great resource. It's a they're extra long this 42 00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.039 month because there's so much to talk about, like twenty 43 00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:29.599 five hundred to three thousand words this time a written 44 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.319 guide on what you can expect for the month ahead. 45 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.759 I'm also going to be hosting an upcoming workshop on substack. 46 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.039 I believe that's going to be on June twenty eighth, 47 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:41.039 but stay tuned for more details if you're a subscriber there. 48 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:45.599 That's going to be a virtual version of the live 49 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.919 event I'm hosting in Brooklyn on June eighteenth. So the 50 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.080 event I'm hosting, I guess that's literally today when this 51 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:57.599 episode comes out, is on the astrology of personal branding 52 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.800 and career timing and understanding when it's time to make 53 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.719 a rebrand or pivot in an area of your business 54 00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:05.319 or your career.

But yeah, 58 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:17.439 in general, substack is the place where I get a 59 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:19.840 lot more detailed with astrology.

Let's now get into the monthly forecast. Okay, 64 00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.840 so we're kicking things off on week one, which will 65 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:41.240 be June twenty first through the twenty seventh, and of course, 66 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:43.520 like before we get into all of the other transits, 67 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:47.719 the main theme that will be ongoing throughout cancer season 68 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:50.280 is of course that the sun is moving into cancer 69 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:51.960 on June twenty first, and it's going to be there 70 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.560 until July twenty second. And cancer season is a water sign, 71 00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:57.800 and it's also a cardinal sign. So with all of 72 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:00.439 the cardinal signs, they mark the start of a brand 73 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.879 new season. In the part of the world where I live, 74 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.919 it marks the start of summer. For other people, maybe 75 00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:09.120 it's the start of winter. So it is the initiation 76 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.960 of kind of a new phase that will be ongoing 77 00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.599 for the next three months. When I think of cancer season, 78 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.920 the first themes that come to mind are security, so 79 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:22.079 leaning into maybe what feels more safe and comforting, things 80 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.680 that feel familiar, so that could be wanting to spend 81 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.560 more time at home or with family, or focusing on 82 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:32.120 relationships that feel more nurturing, and comparing that to what 83 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.759 we're just coming out of Gemini season, where maybe you 84 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.040 did spread yourself thin with social commitments and work, and 85 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.240 now as we enter cancer season, you're feeling called to 86 00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:42.839 slow down and take a step back and focus on 87 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.040 who and what actually brings greater meaning to your life. 88 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.639 But yeah, cancer season is such a family focus sign, 89 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.040 and there may be more time that you're spending with 90 00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:55.560 family members over the next month. If you don't have 91 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.279 a great relationship with family, and that wouldn't apply to you. 92 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.639 It could just be that you're more reflect of your 93 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.279 past and your childhood and you are thinking about how 94 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.800 those family dynamics have affected you as a person. I 95 00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.319 definitely think of this as like a more nostalgic time 96 00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:14.160 of the year, and especially with mercury retrograde starting, which 97 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.040 we'll get into in a second, you're going to be 98 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:20.720 just thinking more about, Okay, what's happened throughout childhood, throughout 99 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.000 my past, and how is that informing like who I 100 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:27.360 am today. Also, your literal living space might be a 101 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.959 bigger priority over the coming week. So maybe you want 102 00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.279 to like decorate a room in your home, or you're 103 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.519 thinking about moving, or you just kind of want to 104 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.079 stay at home and find ways to nurture yourself over 105 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.959 the coming days. Overall, expect like a less fast paced 106 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:47.360 season than we just had a Gemini season, and you're 107 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:50.680 getting back to feeling more grounded, taking time to be alone, 108 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:54.959 and again just to reiterate, like what type of work 109 00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.519 has more meaning for you? What relationships have more meaning 110 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.399 for you? Also, maybe can you be more connected to 111 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.399 what your emotions are telling you and listen to your 112 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:08.800 intuition and strengthen that. So, keeping those general cancer season 113 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:12.519 themes in mind, I want to go through by element 114 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.439 of rising sign where you might be finding these themes 115 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:18.560 showing up prominently in your life. So for Fire Sign 116 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:22.519 Risings aries, Leo Sagittarius risings, cancer season is activating kind 117 00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:26.000 of the more introverted, mental health focused parts of your chart. 118 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.480 So maybe you do feel more emotional and like, okay, 119 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.199 I want to be alone during this time. I feel 120 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:34.759 lower energy. I need to make space to rest or. 121 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:37.680 Emotions just feel like a lot and you're having to 122 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:41.079 face them or work on expressing your feelings better in 123 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:45.160 close relationships. Or to also say, the theme of like 124 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:49.560 family would be specifically important for like aries risings because 125 00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:53.000 it is fourth house transit, so wanting to connect with 126 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.879 family or seeing more happen there. Or again like the 127 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:59.720 theme of like the past being important to like what's 128 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:03.480 going on with you emotionally today could be something you're encountering. 129 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:07.040 And then for Earth sign rising, so Taurus Virgo and 130 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:11.680 Cabricorn raisings, cancer season is activating the relationship oriented parts 131 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:15.560 of your chart. So those kind of themes of okay, 132 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:17.879 where can I find more meaning in these relationships in 133 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:21.160 my life, both platonic and romantic may be especially relevant 134 00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:24.439 for you. And maybe you feel closer to certain people, 135 00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:26.519 or you want to join in on some type of 136 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.439 community or connect with friends in a deeper way. Over 137 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.600 the next few weeks, maybe you want to put yourself 138 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:33.879 out there more dating or again, like if you're already 139 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.639 in a relationship, could just be you're leaning on your 140 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.240 partner more for support or they may may need more 141 00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:41.879 of your help, or you're just kind of like wanting 142 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.000 to be there in a bigger way for the people 143 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:48.399 in your life. And then for airsigin risings, So this 144 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:52.360 would be Gemini Libra and Aquarius risings. This will be 145 00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:57.720 a more work focused time of year also that encompasses 146 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.600 money and like routine and health a bit so kind 147 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.560 of finding ways to be more productive and taking stock 148 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.680 of like again bringing that theme of like cancer season, 149 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:10.240 like what's speaking to me on a deeper emotional level 150 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.079 when it comes to my career and also when it 151 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.800 comes to my daily routine and my wellness practices, like 152 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.319 how can I show up every day and do I 153 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:23.439 don't know, engage in like exercises or little habits in 154 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:25.399 the morning that just set me up for a better 155 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.000 day and like help me to feel more connected to myself. 156 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:30.399 Or you could be thinking more about like, Okay, what 157 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.399 comes next in my career? What do I want to 158 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.240 be committing to in terms of like bigger projects or 159 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.440 your own business. It's just important to keep in mind 160 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.879 with mercury retrogrades starting, if you're not seeing like immediate 161 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.440 things happening with work, and this goes for like all 162 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:48.120 the rising signs are about to talk about, if you're 163 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:51.559 not seeing like immediate things or like fast paced movement 164 00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.559 that like propels you ahead in these certain areas we're 165 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.639 talking about. It's because of that mercury retrograde and all 166 00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:01.519 these areas are just requiring more careful reflection over the 167 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.320 next few weeks from you, and then that brings us 168 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:08.240 to water sign rising, so cancer, Scorpio and Pisces risings. 169 00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:11.159 This time of year is going to be more about uncovering, 170 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:14.679 like what lights you up, what hobbies, what creative practices 171 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:17.120 you want to lean into further, how can you express 172 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.039 yourself in new ways? Are there certain areas you want 173 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:23.120 to learn more about that may inform new personal goals 174 00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:25.440 you want to pursue. It's just a time of like 175 00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:30.279 intaking new knowledge, experimenting with creativity and just figuring out, okay, 176 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:35.279 what brings me joy. And within this month long transit 177 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:37.559 of the sun through the sign of cancer and also 178 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.399 the cancer ruled house of your chart, there will be 179 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:43.279 a couple of dates that may feel more frustrating or 180 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.080 confusing with these themes we just went over. So the 181 00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.960 first one is happening during this first week of cancer season, 182 00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:52.799 and that's that on June twenty fifth, the sun and 183 00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:57.799 cancer will square Neptune and aries, so particularly around the state, 184 00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:00.039 maybe in like the couple of days surrounding it to 185 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:02.679 like June twenty fourth, June twenty fifth, June twenty sixth, 186 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:06.559 you could feel lower energy, or you may have like 187 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:09.480 feelings of like self doubt come up, like doubting something 188 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:12.039 you're working on, or like the direction you're headed in. 189 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.200 Or you may encounter a situation that feels a bit confusing, 190 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.440 like miscommunications coming up with someone, or you're just running 191 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.320 into minor mishaps or slight delays as you go about 192 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.039 your day. It's almost like a mini precursor to the 193 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:27.600 mercury retrograde, which starts just a few days later on 194 00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:31.159 June twenty ninth. And if you do feel super emotional 195 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:34.360 or like very sensitive around this time, know that it'll lift. 196 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:37.320 And also just look at, Okay, how am I taking 197 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:40.720 maybe something a little bit too personally, or how could 198 00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:43.639 like turning to a creative or a spiritual practice help 199 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.759 me during these times instead of trying to focus so 200 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.759 hard on like productivity or outwards success. Around this June 201 00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:53.080 twenty fifth time frame, might be asking you, okay, look 202 00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:57.559 at what's happening internally and how can you feel maybe 203 00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:01.080 more connected to something bigger than yourself? And that brings 204 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:04.559 us to week two, so June twenty eighth to July fourth, 205 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:08.120 so right off the bat this week on that Sunday 206 00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:11.879 on June twenty eighth, Mars moves into Gemini until August eleventh, 207 00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:15.840 and Mars and Taurus for the last few weeks has 208 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:19.399 felt relaxing but not gonna lie. It's also felt kind 209 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:21.799 of lazy, like why should I put energy into this? 210 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.720 Can I get myself off the couch to do work? 211 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.519 And maybe that's part of me just being super pregnant 212 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:29.399 right now, but I always just kind of feel like 213 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:32.559 energy is not as intense when Mars is in a 214 00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:35.600 sign it doesn't do well in like Taurus. So as 215 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:38.639 Mars enters the more fast paced air sign of Gemini, 216 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:42.879 you could start to get more excited about new ideas, plans, 217 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.639 projects and opportunities that are coming your way. And because 218 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:50.039 Gemini is such a communication oriented sign, you may want 219 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.200 to invest more energy into things like writing, speaking, work, 220 00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:57.120 social media content creation, or anything else that's related to 221 00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:01.120 this topic of communication. And also learning will be a 222 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:04.279 bigger deal too during this like six weeks or so 223 00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:07.399 transit of Mars and Gemini, and there may be several 224 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.799 different subjects you want to learn about at once, or 225 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:13.000 there's like a lot of variety of different books you're reading. 226 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:17.919 I am definitely racking up like a huge summer reading list, 227 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.200 and this is like the first time this year that 228 00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:24.639 I've been like really wanting to read and like not 229 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.399 watch TV. So it's a great transit to just work 230 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:31.159 on like stimulating your mind in new ways. You may 231 00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:32.879 also want to pick up a new skill or a 232 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:37.919 new hobby that requires more mental focus from you. However, 233 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:41.000 the downside of this transit is that you can feel 234 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:44.000 more scattered or distracted, like you want to have your 235 00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:47.559 hand in a lot of different things at once, which 236 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:51.200 could feel overwhelming, Like how do I actually narrow down 237 00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:52.759 what do I care about the most? What do I 238 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:55.879 want to learn or write about or share about more 239 00:12:55.879 --> 00:13:00.480 in depth? So thinking ahead over the course of the 240 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:02.279 next few weeks, is there a way to get clear 241 00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:06.240 on what subjects or skills take priority at the moment. 242 00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:09.519 And I also think of Gemini as a super social sign, 243 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:12.360 which is interesting because we just talked about how cancer 244 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.399 season is more of an introverted time of year, so 245 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:17.919 it could be on the one hand, you are wanting 246 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:19.759 to branch out and meet new people but you're also 247 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:21.840 trying to balance that with like, Okay, how can I 248 00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:24.879 be by myself at moments and take time to feel 249 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:29.080 grounded or connected to my own emotions. And within this 250 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:32.919 month and a half almost transit of Mars through Gemini, 251 00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:36.120 there will be a really key period to take note of, 252 00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:39.559 and that's on July third and fourth, when Mars comes 253 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.759 into this exact conjunction with Uranus and Gemini. And like 254 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.159 I said at the start, this is triggering that longer 255 00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.639 seven to eight year transit of Uranus through the Gemini 256 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:51.519 world House of your chart and bringing up greater change 257 00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:54.120 there and having you want to make a decision on 258 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.919 topics that pertain to that Gemini world House in your chart. 259 00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:01.360 So pay attention to how maybe right around this first 260 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:04.960 week of July, there may be unexpected changes you're experiencing 261 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:08.360 in an area of your life, specifically that Gemini House 262 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:11.320 in your chart, or there's a desire to break free 263 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.320 from something that's felt more restricting to you, like you're 264 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.360 just wanting to make more of a quick decision, especially 265 00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:20.519 if you've been like procrastinating on doing something and that 266 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.440 doesn't necessarily need to be like a huge life change 267 00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:25.840 that you're undergoing at this time, but like, I don't 268 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:27.840 know if you've been sitting on like an idea for 269 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:30.200 a piece of writing, or like a social media post 270 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:32.360 that you wanted to put out, but like like a 271 00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:35.000 sense of fear has been holding you back. Maybe this 272 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:38.039 Mars conjunct Gemini is like go for it, like don't 273 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:40.519 care what anyone else thinks, just like do it already. 274 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:44.600 So having that sense of like greater urgency or being 275 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:48.039 more open to change and experimentation really coming in at 276 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.240 the start of July and returning to those Gemini in 277 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:55.480 general themes that we just went over, how is there 278 00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.679 something new that you want to try out, like in 279 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:00.679 picking up a new skill for ends, or how is 280 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:02.919 there something new you want to write about or learn about, 281 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.360 like going in a different direction maybe than you're used 282 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:08.879 to there And I just keep coming back to that 283 00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:12.799 word of like experimentation, like trying out new avenues of 284 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:16.840 communicating your ideas with people, whether that's the writing, speaking, work, 285 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.799 social media in your relationships too, like how can you 286 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:23.360 connect with people in different ways? Can you try out 287 00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:26.840 a new group activity in your neighborhood, or is there 288 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:29.320 a friend you haven't seen in a while and you're 289 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:32.200 deciding to reach out to them at this point. Also, 290 00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:35.519 Gemini is very much a sign associated with travel, more 291 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.360 like short term travel though, so it could be that 292 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:41.879 you're taking a quick trip somewhere right around this timeframe. 293 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:43.559 I mean that's common in the US. This is like 294 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.200 fourth of July weekend that we're talking about, or it 295 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.360 could be like in general, you just want to change 296 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:51.679 up your daily routine to keep things interesting and get 297 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:55.159 a little bit of variety in your everyday life. To 298 00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:58.440 backtrack though to the start of this week. On June 299 00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:01.480 twenty ninth, mercury retor to starting in the side of 300 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:04.519 cancer and this retrograde is lasting for the rest of 301 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.960 cancer season. It won't end until July twenty third, So 302 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.559 the good news is we are starting LEO season off 303 00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:14.840 with no more mercury retrograde. However, like it's an ongoing 304 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:18.320 theme throughout pretty much all of cancer season, and this 305 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:21.519 retrograde starts at twenty six degrees of cancer and it 306 00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:24.879 goes back to sixteen degrees of cancer. So anyone with 307 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:30.120 cardinal signs so aries Libra cancer Capricorn chart placements right 308 00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:34.080 within that sixteen to twenty six degree range of any 309 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:38.360 of those signs, those angles or planets in your chart 310 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:40.440 are going to feel the impacts of this retrograde the 311 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:44.519 most and to return to, like, Okay, what happens typically 312 00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:47.960 during a mercury retrograde in general, like these next three 313 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.639 weeks are a time for greater reflection, going back to 314 00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:55.799 maybe revise something you're working on, make edits before moving 315 00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:59.679 forward again, Also returning to what feels familiar, what you 316 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:03.480 are know and in terms of like career that maybe 317 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:06.480 like returning to a past like project idea you had 318 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:11.400 or I don't know, like a past skill that maybe 319 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.680 would serve you to like revisit and learn more about 320 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.319 so that you can move forward in your career more effectively. 321 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:22.839 Like I remember during a mercury retrograde a couple of 322 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:25.839 years ago, I was in the midst of writing my book, 323 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:27.079 and I had to go back to a lot of 324 00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:29.720 astrology basics and like get really clear on like what 325 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:32.279 did the actual signs mean, Like let's not talk about 326 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:34.880 more complex timing techniques at the moment, Like let's get 327 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:37.920 very clear on like things I already know, but I 328 00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:41.400 really need to explore more in depth. So thinking of 329 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:44.160 that in terms of work or something you're learning about. 330 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:48.160 Have also seen, like with mercury retrograde, revisiting a place 331 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:51.000 that holds the past importance to you, or just thinking 332 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:54.599 more about childhood and your past in general, Like I 333 00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:56.400 always find I want to listen to like early two 334 00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:59.759 thousands music during mercury retrogrades. It's kind of like clockwork, 335 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:05.160 or like watch childhood TV shows. And because cancer is 336 00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:09.119 a sign that is so specifically about the past, those 337 00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:12.400 themes may be even more relevant than they are during 338 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:16.359 a typical mercury retrograde. And then of course this theme 339 00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:19.799 of like hearing from people from your past, reconnecting with 340 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:21.839 people you've had a falling out with or just haven't 341 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:24.359 talked to in a while, or it could be that 342 00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:28.440 in relationships there's something that hasn't been brought up or 343 00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:31.119 talked about fully in this retrograde will have you doing 344 00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:33.680 a lot of reflection on like how can I communicate 345 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:37.880 my emotions to this other person in a in an 346 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:40.880 effective way? But maybe you're not ready to like have 347 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:43.559 that conversation yet, and you spend the next few weeks 348 00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:45.799 kind of figuring out what do I want to say? 349 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.440 How do I want to approach this before feeling more 350 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:51.400 confident in that. But if you do have planets or 351 00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:54.440 angles affected by this mercury retrograde, you can blend these 352 00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:57.880 mercury retrograde topics of like needing to go back and 353 00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:01.039 like more fully understand something or work on reflecting on 354 00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:04.400 that a bit further with the chart placement involved. So 355 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:06.920 like let's say you have a cancer mid heaven that 356 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:10.200 is falling within this mercury retrograde sixteen to twenty six 357 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:13.079 degree range, then maybe this is a period of like 358 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:14.839 really thinking about what do I want to be doing 359 00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.200 in my career and not having the answers yet and 360 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:20.119 maybe feeling confused or slowed down with work or like 361 00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:24.240 uncertain about what is the bigger picture here. But there 362 00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:28.119 could be something important like from your past that you 363 00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:30.960 need to remember about what you like and enjoying in career, 364 00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:33.200 how you can bring more of your interest into the 365 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.920 work that you're putting out. Whereas like maybe if you 366 00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:40.079 have a cancer sun that is getting affected by mercury 367 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:42.640 retrograde or like a Libra son or an aria sun, 368 00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:45.599 this topic of like identity and personal goals and how 369 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:47.119 do I want to show up in the world, and 370 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:50.039 like who am I like all of those kind of 371 00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:53.000 more existential questions could be coming up at this time. 372 00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:56.599 But for everyone though, even if you don't have cancer 373 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.359 ares or libra or Capricorn placements being directly of affected 374 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:05.440 by mercury retrograde, still noting what house in your chart 375 00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:07.759 is ruled by the sign of cancer, how are things 376 00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.400 maybe feeling slowed down there or are a bit unclear 377 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:13.680 at the moment, but you are going to spend the 378 00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:18.000 next several weeks really spending more time thinking about the 379 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.480 topics of that house. Just because it's merkeura retrograde doesn't 380 00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:23.240 mean stuff isn't happening there, like oftentimes it is bringing 381 00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:26.920 up greater activity for you to like work through the 382 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:28.880 themes of that house a bit more so, Like if 383 00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:34.200 you're a Capricorn rising and this is your seventh house cancer, 384 00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:37.319 your cancer seventhous is where mercury retrograde is occurring, Like 385 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:39.799 there could be something that does come up with dating 386 00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:42.559 and relationships that get you to learn how to communicate 387 00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:45.720 better with people or really think about like is this 388 00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:48.000 someone I want to date or how can I move 389 00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:50.119 forward differently than I have in the past in this 390 00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:54.720 current partnership and on the same day that this market 391 00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:58.640 retrograde is happening or is starting, there will also be 392 00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:01.880 a full moon in Capricorn, and this full moon will 393 00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:05.519 happen at eight degrees of Capricorn. The ruling planet of 394 00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:09.559 the full moon is Saturn, which is currently an Aries. Therefore, 395 00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:12.160 you're gonna see a flurry of activity building in the 396 00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:15.119 Capricorn rules a house of your chart right in these 397 00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.200 last few days of June.

And maybe those two house topics are 400 00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:28.559 like blending together or influencing each other in a bigger 401 00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:31.720
