“maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach (to play one day)
and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles, and
millie befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;
and Molly was chased by a horrible things
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and
may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.
For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
It’s always ourselves we find in the sea.” e.e cummings
“I should have been a pair of ragged claws
Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.” T.S Eliot
Mercury and Venus move out of the airy sign of Gemini and into the sign of the ocean creature, the Crab, Cancer on Monday.
The Sun remains in late Gemini and will move into Cancer on the Summer Solstice which is Thursday.
The week gets off to a complicated start with the Sun, Mercury and Venus all squaring Neptune. It’s best to keep very clear in communications and double check to make sure the information you are receiving is accurate.
Mercury in Cancer is a nurturing alignment and bring thoughts to home and family. The Crab carries her home on her back wherever she travels and retreats inside when threats arise. Cancer is an emotionally sensitive sign and people born under this influence can retreat to their inner world when things become difficult.
Insights can be had during this time but it’s wise to not get too caught up in the past.
Venus and Mercury make a challenging alignment to Pluto late Monday and into Tuesday. It is a good time to let go of old attachments that are no longer relevant in your life.
The Sun is moving up to a square with Neptune which will be exact on Thursday at 29 degrees of Gemini. This is a “rose colored glasses” alignment and under this influence there can be more confusion, illusion and the manipulation of information. It’s wise to make an effort to stay grounded throughout the week.
The Sun moves into Cancer Thursday at 4:50 PM EDT – marking the time of the Summer Solstice. This is a great day for celebration and for appreciating the beauty of the natural world and all she provides for us.
On Friday the Moon waxes Full at 1 degree of Capricorn.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”The human soul, in its eagerness for new experiences, seeks embodiment.”
