Cancer September 2022

Have you been pouring enough love into your friendships recently? When Venus enters earth sign Virgo on September 5, this transit acts as an awakening that calls your attention toward your local community and kinships. There are so many bonds that have the potential to grow! Remember that platonic relationships are just as important as romantic ones. 

A few days later on September 9, another infamous Mercury retrograde begins! As it moves backwards through air sign Libra through your zone of familial bonds and spaces you feel safe within, consider how attentive you’ve been toward your siblings and kin. Perhaps it’s time to call that auntie you’ve forgotten to wish happy birthday to? Watch out for feuds to flare as misunderstandings will become more rife! The next day on September 10, the watery full moon in Pisces illuminates the zone of your sky which rules new knowledge and wider philosophies. Connect your ethos to care and feelings during this time. Release any negativity that’s pent up within your actions—spite and revenge aren’t worth it. 

On September 23, your desire to recalibrate in matters of home and spaces that make you feel safe is amplified by the Autumnal Equinox in addition to a Mercury Cazimi in Libra! With the extra boost of the Cazimi, expect this adjustment to come alongside some “ah-ha!” moments, too. Then when the new moon in Libra occurs on September 25, you’re ripe and ready to set intentions around the new ways you want to relate to making your space serve exactly what you need it to. Finally, Venus enters Libra on September 29, encouraging you to beautify your space and give love to your family members.

Cancer August 2022

Feeling the need to break away from the folks around you for a change? On August 1, energetic Mars overlaps with Uranus and generates a need for you to establish your independence from the groups you’re often involved in. Stay aware of what keeps you in the circles that don’t serve you. If it’s fear, plow through it with the help of this emboldening transit! A few days later on August 4, communication planet Mercury moves into Virgo. This movement encourages you to speak openly and clearly within your budding friendships, and own up to your opinions. Don’t just agree with someone because you’re afraid to rock the boat. Stand by what you believe. 

Aesthetically inclined Venus moves into Leo on August 11 and encourages you to put some serious investments into play. What are you ready to spend (or even splurge) on now that you know will bring in long term rewards? The next day on August 12, the full moon in Aquarius lights up a zone of your sky that’s connected to difficult evolution and deep entanglements. What cycles are you breaking, and who are you moving on from right now? Not everyone is meant to stay in your life forever. 

On August 20, Mars moves into Gemini and stirs your subconscious in a major way. Your intuition is heightened around this time, in addition to the vividness of your dreams. Make sure you’re grounding yourself and practicing spiritual hygiene! When Mercury moves into Libra on August 26, you’re given an opportunity to check back in with folks in your inner world—your blood and chosen family. Call up people you’ve lost touch with recently. Finally, the new moon in Virgo on August 27 snaps you into focus by polishing your ability to see the details in matters of local travel and friendship.

Cancer July 2022

On July 4, Mars’ entrance to Taurus emphasizes collaborating with others to reach a goal. Use your leadership skills and inspire those around you to pursue their dreams. Mercury enters your sign on the same day, aligning your actions and intentions. You make a good first impression with new acquaintances. Share what’s on your mind! The July 13 Capricorn full moon prompts consideration of how to negotiate with others without sacrificing your power. You may need to develop thicker skin and recognize that not everything is personal in order to get an agreement solidified. 

Venus enters your sign on July 17, attracting favorable attention your way. Use this transit to zhuzh up your wardrobe or adopt a new summer style. Mercury’s entrance to Leo on July 19 gives you confidence in your investments. Whether you’re putting your energy into a budget, a new acquisition, or a relationship, your material objectives sync with your values: a recipe for success. Wound-healer asteroid Chiron stations retrograde on the same day, suggesting you reconstruct the myths you tell yourself of how you aren’t deserving of professional success or recognition. 

The sun enters Leo on July 22, emphasizing self-care and choosing courage over self-criticism in the month ahead. Plus, the Leo new moon on July 28 allows you to set intentions for an abundance mindset that invites wealth and prosperity. However, Jupiter stations retrograde on the same day, stalling a business prospect. This turns out to be a blessing in disguise: you now have an opportunity to review whether your career goals are out of sync with spiritual goals.
