Moon In Cancer makes a Dreamy Connection to Neptune Today – Nov. 30, 2012

Where-Your-Heart-Is

The Moon moved into Cancer this morning and for most of the day it makes a beautiful, flowing connection to the planet Neptune… I’m definitely feeling the pull into my fantasies. The Moon in Cancer carries a very sensitive, nurturing awareness and Neptune is the experience of compassion, grace, and the Divine. It tugs us into daydreams and illusions, shadowing concrete perceptions with a nebulous shimmer – dissolving hard edges and sharp points. It’s the perfect day to get lost in poetry, art or a movie… and also the perfect day to meditate or spend time in nature connecting to your heart… to your dreams… to Source.  

Pure Moon/Neptune energy affords boundlessness, longing and mystical experiences. This could be a gentle day of emotional transcendence or a nightmare of chaotic confusion and the need to escape. Try to flow with the energy positively to ensure the higher experience – showing compassion to others, allowing yourself time to engage your dreams, finding beauty and artistic perfection in whatever is in front of you. Images take on a more intense, amplified meaning and may move us more than usual, so let yourself ebb and flow with that sort of experience. Be aware of beauty, of romance, of empathy and engage with the feelings that come up.

Tomorrow as the Moon connects with Pluto and Mars you can put today’s dreams and fantasies into powerful action.

Happy Friday the 13th! A little Love and Romance on an Inauspicious Day…

Not the stuff of superstition...

I have a bit of hard time understanding the superstitious fears around Friday the 13th… and this year we’ve got 3 of ’em! So sorry to be the bearer of that inauspicious news to those of you who don’t relish this infrequent date. (After this year there won’t be another Friday the 13th until 2026 according to Charles Walford, columnist for Mail Online in the UK in this very eye opening article.)

Here are a couple of bits of Friday the 13th lore: Friday is considered unlucky in the Christian tradition because it is the day of Christ’s crucifixion. 13 is considered unlucky because Judas, the last and 13th to show up for the Last Supper, was the same disciple who betrayed Christ resulting in his crucifixion. And 13 is the number of turns of the rope that tie the hangman’s noose.

In just doing a little reading I’ve discovered that auto accidents really do go up A LOT on any given Friday the 13th (maybe due to anxiety?) and the real estate business slows down to a trickle… people just don’t want to buy on this inauspicious date and many won’t even think about buying a residence that has the number 13 attached to it. Who knew?

Well this particular Friday the 13th doesn’t have any black magic attached to it that I can see. So take a deep breath and let your fears subside. 

This day looks to be largely about relationships according to the astrology at hand. Venus and Neptune are conjoined lending the possibility of  gentle romance, idealism, yearning for the Other (with the alternate possibility being deception or dissolution in relationships – so there is that to watch out for). Chiron, the Wounded Healer is involved with that combination as is the Moon – there is the potential for healing past transgressions now – particularly with family members and lost loves. And Saturn lends support to our relationships today, helping us to understand and define them and possibly helping to create stability. Mars strokes the Sun lending desire, strength of will and a bit of earthy assertion to the package while the Moon kisses Pluto and Mercury perhaps compelling some of us to want to dig deeply and emotionally for the truth in our relationships and, of course since it is Mercury, to talk about it.

If you are opting out of life today – staying home and out of trouble – watch romantic films, read  poetry, dive into art, or curl up with a good psychology book. Probably a great day to chat with friends, get the scoop on the stars (movie stars that is), and to re-connect. Have a glass or two of wine…

So, happy Friday the 13th! And have fun relating… family, friends, lovers – let them all know how you feel!
