The cosmic energies are shifting as we approach Lammas, the first harvest festival. Today offers a powerful opportunity for reflection with the Moon void of course in Libra all day and Venus entering Cancer just before midnight. These transits create a perfect moment to pause and consider how past energies are influencing our present journey.
Looking back to Memorial Day weekend (May 23-24), we find Mars was at the same position the Sun will occupy during the upcoming Lion's Gate portal on August 8th. This connection isn't coincidental—it represents a continuation of energetic themes that began with Saturn entering Aries, Mercury entering Gemini, and a New Moon in Gemini. The sense of accomplishment and intention from that period is now transforming into our present moment, particularly as Mars approaches a significant point by Friday's Lammas celebration.
Following yesterday's exploration of divine feminine symbolism through seashells, rose quartz, and opalite, today we're called to embrace true balance by honoring both feminine and masculine aspects of ourselves. The patriarchal approach that has dominated astrology for millennia is being rebalanced, not by rejecting masculine energy entirely, but by restoring the divine feminine to equal standing. As we prepare for Venus entering Cancer, we're reminded that balance comes through gentle persuasion rather than force.
Today asks for courage—courage to envision your future authentically, not as others prescribe it should be. With Chiron also turning retrograde, we have an exceptional opportunity to examine and discard self-imposed limitations that no longer serve us. What do you believe you cannot do? These beliefs are precisely what's holding you back from thriving.
