Aries – PCP- remember that guy who killed his girlfriend and then ATE her???  That’s just your appetizer, followed by bungee jumping, extreme rock climbing and cutting off your own arm.

Taurus – A pot brownie- made with imported single-origin Madagascar chocolate, of course. followed by a  catered seven course meal and a 10 hour nap in a king size bed with silk sheets.

Gemini – Anything once- for science, chased with lots of espresso while texting the effects to your vast network of people you met briefly.

Cancer – Wine from the cellar- sipped from your favorite chipped mug, wrapped in your Nanna’s blanket, curled up on your padded rocking chair, fluffy cat on your lap, moon shining through the window.

Leo – Extacsy- preferably at one of those dancing parties, with a stage, and no one else on it but you…ok, maybe a live band, in the background.

Virgo – Addreall – you organize all the closets in the house, the refrigerator and the pantry, then you pot herbs in matching pots with labels and alphabetize them along the kitchen window, finally, you prepare three types of food for the dog and cat.

Libra – Prozac, chased with Valium- keeps you looking pretty, relaxed and happy when you’re totally freaked out trying to guess what other people are thinking and  hopelessly weighing your options to unsuccessfully make that decision you were supposed to make five years ago.

Scorpio – Peyote and Spanish Fly- breaking taboos and spiritual awakening, what could be better? Oh yeah, you do this while wandering around a haunted house with a well-known psychic.

Sagittarius – LSD – it’s like getting to travel to other realms, expand the mind, see more, be more, experience more, more, and then some. It’s awesome. You take too much, of course, and end up in the emergency room, where the nurses all love you and want to marry you.

Capricorn – Coke – the best, most expensive kind, which you dole out to the guy who thinks he’s your boss and anyone else that might be useful to you on your way up the life’s ladder.

Aquarius – You make your own- no one has heard of it, but it’s awesome, like you are. Basically it squashes those few pesky emotions that somehow sneaked through your strong rational philosophy, allowing you to be even more freaky, stubborn, and unique as you single-mindedly work on your project of world unification.

Pisces – Any one of the opiates, or all of them- while laying on a broken, lopsided bed, staring at a wall of jellyfish and listening to Morrissey.

Virgo – The permanent look of pain you are complaining about seeing on my face is due to the fact that I’m watching you perform so far beneath your potential it is physically hurting me.

Libra – Quit asking me what I think and take the freaking lead already, I will follow and look fabulous.

Scorpio – Half my friends are already dead, the other half I’m having sex with.

Sagittarius – DId I just offend you? Are you kidding me? STFU and learn something already!

Capricorn – I already know exactly what to use you for.

Aquarius – Did that go how you thought it would? No, didn’t think so.

Pisces – I’m either drunk, stoned, or enlightened. I can’t tell which.

Aries – Who are you, and why do I care? Oh yeah, I don’t.

Taurus – Peace, Food & Comfort

Gemini – Hi, nice to meet you. You’re so interesting, oh and now your boring.

Cancer – You can find me at home. Always.

Leo – Stand, cheer, and throw your undergarments at me.

 

 

As Sun joins Mercury in Cancer, we get to dive deeper into the emotional world of the 4th House.  Think Moon, Mother, Heros and Villains,or read this, best description of the 4th House I’ve seen.  If that’s too long to read, take some time to connect to your inner home, shut out the world, all the good and bad things that are happening, all the things you need to do, close the curtains and jump head first down into your self to hang out a bit, rummage around, remodel, redecorate, do whatever to make yourself at home again.

OK, so I was a little glib in my earlier post, “just do what feels good, enjoy the moment, and so on.”  Right, like Cancer is that easy.  More like crashing into all your fears and insecurities and wanting to hide under a big blanket of Ben and Jerry’s chocolate double fudge ice cream forever.  The world is a scary place and while it was doable to rationalize it last month, that will no longer work for this month.  Oh, and since it’s Mercury, you can expect yourself to be a needy manipulative ass in all your conversations. It’s always worst at first durning the transition, the culture shock of having to face up to being a big scaredy cat can be traumatic, but then it gets easier, we notice that the world is still standing, we’re still alive, and overall everything is actually pretty good.  Then, I suppose, we can all get on with what feels good, like I said before.

I have done a great deal of thinking lately, but I have not come up with a great deal of solutions. Thinking seems to lead to more thinking.  With Mercury moving into Cancer today and making the trine to Neptune Pisces, it’s a good time to take a few days and put all that thinking to rest.  Instead go with what feels good.  And connect to water, go swimming, take a bath, or stand in the rain. Read a romance novel and drink loads of tea.  Walk around the house in pajamas, that kind of thing.  Let the solutions bubble up to the surface on their own, while you spend your time enjoying the moment.

And I thought Gemini Moon was bad.  This Cancer Moon has the benefit of squaring all those Aries planets as well.  We could look at it as an opportunity to be more sensitive, caring, nurturing with all those other planets, or, if you are like me, you could just get scared and not know why, start arguments, feel sorry for yourself and cry.  That works too.  Actually it doesn’t work at all.  Try to take some time to nurture yourself today and be kind to everyone, we all get scared sometimes.  If you have any good ideas on how to do this, please comment!!!
