The moon is ripe.

The sweetness of summer is at its fullest, the forest is ripe with blueberries and the ducklings are allready fat and ready to swim alone. And the cancerian Sun makes us all feel slow and quiet. It seems like everything is moving in a calmer pace, and Mercury, our favorite neurotic, has allready been a few days in Cancer, changing his face yet another time, this time putting on his robe and chilling under a Sun that does practically nothing. Eating, resting, going for a few walks, being with family, playing with the kids, all this is the Cancerian domain. Sleeping. The benefits of good rest and the time to meditate. Summer at its sweetest.
Minor things cannot upset us for long in this state. Mars is in Virgo however, so frustrations might surface, which could very well taint out vacationmode. If you have the chance you should let it all go.

It is a time to tune in, Mercury in Gemini these last two months could easily have been a mental race that made us all feel that we have had enough of chit-chatting, cyberspacing and networking. Mercury in Cancer is another dimension entirely. What is inbetween the words is much more interesting than what comes out of the mouth. What you say and how you feel might be two different things, and you will perhaps feel much more sensitive to other people's emotions these days. This is both good and bad, being overly sensitive can overpower you , and tomorrows fullmoon might just be a reminder that we need to stay alert in the face of emotional manipulations, minor and major ones. Boundaries and taking time to really explain and go thoroughly through things might ease some of the guilt that so easily occurs when we are in contact with eachother, and especially when we perhaps feel that we hurt someone. This can be very sensitive and vulnerable energies, so stepping lightly and with compassion through this fullmoon might be adviceable.

We all carry our histories, even small children have theirs allthough we might not think about it. Taking each person as he or she is is a great challenge as we tend to project ourselves out on the world and onto people. Listening to the subtle realms is perhaps a lesson that we need to learn again and again. And knowing how to approach what we hear when we truly listen is another challenge. For how do you use the knowledge of others vulnerablities? How do we help eachother becoming more secure beings ?
To validate eachother is all well, but how do we evolve beyond neediness?

Cancer is a lesson of self-love. If we don't accept and love ourselves, we will create a battle with the world sooner or later. Before you know it an enemy has shown up on your door, challenging your sense of security. It is the true law of attraction, and if we don't master selflove, which is true selfmastery, then we wont be able to manifest in the outer world what we naturally are. It is, as I have said so many times, our inner foundation, our emotional relation first and foremost to ourselves. The child that once ran into obstacles and got cut and bruised in more than one way. The familyhistorie on re-run. This is also Cancer, and this fullmoon marks the end of the solar month of the Crab. From an evolutionary point of view, if the Cancerian lessons of selflove are well integrated, the entry into Leo can be a really creative one. From water to fire, from emoting to expressing.
This coming solar month can bring a lot of goodies in that regard, but more about that later.
For now, make sure you can honor the goddess power of both the fullmoon and of Cancer.

"The more she emotes, the less he listens, and the less he listens, the more strident and emotive she becomes" Maggie Scarf.

This might very well sum it all up.
