After sun-up, the Cancer moon trines the Scorpio sun, kicking the day off on a harmonious note. Under this influence, we feel good in our skin and confident in our work. Due to our emotional equilibrium, we are better able to give back to others. However, this cosmic weather will feel so relaxed that we might fail to use it to our advantage. Make a point of leaning into the present moment to utilize this aspect to its full potential.
In the late evening, Vesta—the goddess asteroid of sacred inspiration and devotion—stations retrograde. Vesta first entered Cancer on September 13 and will remain in this sign until December 20, when it will backtrack into Gemini. In the coming months, our passion projects may stall or experience delays. Although we might wish to be of service to a creative practice, ritual, or calling in a specific way, Vesta’s retrograde makes it clear that our commitment to this endeavor is somewhat premature. We may be harnessing the more low-vibe qualities of Cancer, like over-giving or crossing boundaries, to make progress. Yet if we want to jump into this new venture, we must choose a less emotionally taxing approach. Think of this as an incubation period. Rethink your strategy. Make sure you are filling your own cup, only then can you devote yourself to this undertaking in a healthy way.
