#267-"To Be Filled with Light and to Shine"--Week of July 1, 2024

Neptune (Dreamer) turns retrograde at the very end of Pisces for a 5-month journey that invites you to pay attention to the more mysterious, unconscious currents underneath your conscious mind. The healthy expression of the Dreamer archetype aligns you with your deepest aspirations, hopes and inspirations. The wounded expression aligns you with your struggles with confusion, addictions and victim consciousness. All can be present. Honor what is emerging with deep self-compassion. Mercury (Communicator) just into Leo opposes Pluto (Transformer) in Aquarius challenging you to get real with how best to courageously express your individual creativity and presence with sensitivity to what your larger community and world truly need for effective transformation. Transmute wounded self-focused patterns that insist it's all about you. The New Moon in Cancer supports you to seed new ways to make a place in your heart for your sensitivity and care for yourself and your beloveds. Venus (Relational One) in Cancer squares Chiron (Wounded Healer) in Aries reminding you to lean into deep emotional healing around wounded patterns of armoring your heart to stay true to yourself. You can have both individual agency and nurturance in your relationships.
