As the Sun continues to move through Cancer and the Moon begins to wane after last week’s full Moon, this week brings further invitations for healing. The kind of healing that can only come through presence, feeling, and self-love. As Venus squares the Lunar Nodes, Mercury squares Chiron, and Saturn begins its five-month retrograde in Pisces.
Venus in Cancer square Lunar Nodes: June 26
This week on June 26 2024 Venus comes into a square aspect with the Lunar Nodes.
While in Cancer, the planet and goddess of love and beauty invites to come into a deeply nurturing and comforting relationship with ourselves, with our inner child, our past, and our emotions.
The Lunar Nodes, made up of the North Node and the South Node, speak to growth, becoming, and evolution. Since 2023 the Lunar Nodes in Aries and Libra have been inviting us into take up more of our own space, healing our confidence, selfhood, and relationship dynamics.
A square aspect is tension. It says, ‘please look at me’.
Inner tension can be just that – inner tension. Or it can be a doorway, a surrender, an opportunity. Venus square the Nodes is a doorway into our depths. An opportunity to hear the inner child within us all sharing their fears and hurts around love, being loved, loving another.
When the past is present – in our bodies, in our psyche – it colours and shapes that very present. It puts a wall between us and the opportune rich moment-to-moment dance that is life and all those who come into our lives.
This square is an favourable opportunity to be with that past that is blending into the present. To hold it in our arms with safety and love. To give it the space to heal and evolve so that we may arrive deeper into the now moment of our lives and the now relationships of our lives.
Mercury in Cancer square Chiron in Aries: June 28
Another square in our skies this week, another opportunity for deep healing and unravelling. June 28 2024 brings a square between Mercury in Cancer and Chiron in Aries.
Mercury is our awareness. It is our mind, our thoughts, our narratives and perspectives. Chiron is the alchemy of hurt into medicine, wound into wisdom. Having been in Aries since 2018, Chiron has been the alchemising force inviting healing to our sense of self, individuality, confidence and courage.
As these two planetary bodies connect this week, our conscious awareness that is Mercury comes into the alchemy of Chiron. Narratives, stories, perspectives in our mind both conscious and unconscious come into awareness as revelations so that we may begin to re-write them.
Our dialogue both inner and outer asks for our discernment. Dialogue can heal us, and it can hurt us. How are we using our mind, how are we using our voice?
This square invites us to tend to our emotional landscape that lives beneath the surface, shining our light of awareness on the vulnerabilities and insecurities around our courage, self-assertion, and confidence to speak our truths.
And, shining a light on the healing capacity that are our words, thoughts, and voice.
Saturn Retrograde in Pisces: June 29 – November 15
June 29 2024 brings the beginning of our annual Saturn Retrograde lasting until November 15, 2024.
Saturn in Astrology is sacred responsibility, discipline, definition and realism. Saturn is boundaries, mastery, time and devotion to our path.
Swimming through Pisces since 2023, Saturn has been inviting those boundaries, that devotion, discipline, and responsibility towards our spiritual connection, towards the unseen and energetic realm, and towards our dreams and creative endeavours.
Retrogrades are the opportunity to integrate the path we have just walked. To look back, observe, and begin to digest the wisdom of our experiences. It is an opportunity to see things from a new lens – for we have changed since we were last on this path – to see what we’ve missed, to observe from a new perspective.
As Saturn begins its five-month long retrograde, its forecast invites us to reflect on our relationship to boundaries – both physical, emotional, and energetic. It asks us how we have been interacting with structure, discipline, and commitment to our desires and to our wellbeing. It creates the space to return us to spiritual practices and structures that support us, that have more wisdom and medicine for us since our last engagement with them. And it invites us to explore our devotion to our creativity, our inspiration, our dreams, visions, and trust in the unfolding of our direction through clarified commitment.
