A full Sagittarius moon occurs in the wee hours of Sunday morning, but experientially it’s Saturday night. I wrote about the anticipation of the full moon in last week’s horoscopes so it wouldn’t come as a surprise, but we begin the week still coasting on the full moon’s energy.
All full moons are moments of culmination of polarizing energies. The Sun lights up and empowers one sign, while the moon pulls us into balance by remembering and illuminating the opposite sign. This creates intensity of emotion and the turning point on a project or story. The week that follows the full moon is a week of managing said project but not breaking new ground. It’s still high energy, but effort is directed toward delivering on promises, not taking on more.
On Monday June 1st, Mercury moves into Cancer, where it will be until August 9th, due to a retrograde that begins at the end of the month. In Cancer, Mercury turns its attention inward, to memory and the past, feelings and intuitive ways of knowing. Knowledge and information are discovered and delivered with much higher levels of emotion when Mercury is in Cancer, so find your journal and prepare for the feels.
On Wednesday the 3rd, Mercury in Cancer runs into trouble with Neptune in Aries. Neptune is inspired and forward-thinking in Aries, believing that things have straightforward and simple solutions that can be accomplished quickly. Mercury in nostalgic Cancer doesn’t want to cut emotional corners in the name of speed but tends to feel things in a deep and thoughtful way. Neptune and Mercury’s pressure to speed up and slow down might confuse or mire a project, but the moment will pass quickly.
