25 August 2019: Moon sextile Mercury, Moon enters Cancer

Today, the Moon in Gemini makes a helpful sextile to its domicile ruler Mercury in Leo. The opportunity for inspiration will be high. Who are the bright lights and shining stars who have connected you to new ways of thinking? Today is a good day to revisit those sources of inspiration. Later in the day, the Moon moves into its own domicile of Cancer, the cardinal water sign. The Moon in Cancer encourages us to return to formative experiences of safety and security, to feel our ways back to that which nurtured and nourished our younger selves. What does home feel like to you, and how can you cultivate an experience of home for yourself and for those around you? The Moon in Cancer is extremely sensitive and receptive but also protective, and as it moves through sextiles to the Sun, Venus, and Mars in Virgo in rapid succession, we may need to consider how to let down our guard in order to give and receive help and care.
