I went to a function this weekend in Plettenberg Bay where a group of women in business met, networked, and shared their stories and showcased their products.
The word that I took back with me from the event was the word pivot. Listening to the speaker share her story of her journey into her power, and where there needs to be perseverance, patience, sometimes one needs to pivot to redirect how we get to our goal.
The planetary energies are loud at the moment and can create underlying anxiety, overwhelm, and in some cases a sense of disillusionment because things may not be panning out the way you had hoped….
So let`s unpack some of these feelings into planetary energies:
Neptune at the early degrees of Aries square the Sun in Cancer: Who am I? What am I here to do? Why does no one see me?
This combination of missed placed idealism with a snatch of victim can happen easily with this transit. Putting too much hope on the future and on the external to provide the answers, rather than pivoting to where you are and working with what is really going on beneath the surface.
So what is going on beneath the surface? We have Chiron that has been in the sign Aries since 2018, moving into Taurus now, triggering the past pain patterns linked to value. This is coming at almost the same time as Uranus moves sign and suddenly the old tune no longer works with this new rhythm that is starting to move in…. again we need to pivot and lean in as we work out what is creating the tension, the imbalance, and the mist that is blurring your vision.
Jupiter is also on the last degree of Cancer as it prepares to move into Leo in July. The anorectic degree tends to magnify the energy forcing us to face what we need to learn from the planet in that sign – looking at the lower frequency of Cancer and the feelings that surface, so that we can consciously move into Leo opportunities with humility rather than ego and a sense of entitlement.
Jupiter starts to swell and bloat and push out with the desire to expand. So if you are restricting, resisting, inhibiting the need for change, growth, expansion, this can feel rather uncomfortable.
This prelude of emotional turbulence, which will peak on 30 June at the full Moon, is preparing us for quite a big transit later in July when Jupiter moves into the king’s seat in Leo, opposing Pluto in Aquarius, which may also peak at the next full Moon around 29 July. This feels like a tense chess game between two opposite sides, and something has gotta give. I am watching with curiosity as to how this transit will play out in a more global setting.
So, as I balance precariously between two worlds at the moment, packing up my one home and preparing slowly to move into my new home, which is blurred at the moment because I still haven’t found the right tenant for my beautiful home in Kommetjie, but here too I am needing to pivot and lean into being patient, not panicking, and realizing everything has its right timing.
Wishing you all a beautiful week.
