At 2:52 a.m.: Retrograde Ceres enters Taurus

Before dawn, Ceres, the asteroid of nurturance, backtracks into Taurus. Since July 31, Ceres has been transiting Gemini, prompting us to care for others through cognizant communication. Being fully present in our interactions has engendered greater compassion. Now, Ceres returns to Taurean territory, illustrating that we must do more than empathize through intellect alone. We must review how to have respect for others’ physical, emotional, and financial boundaries as well. Be conscious of how you respond when faced with lack during this juncture. Materially or relationally, you cannot lose what is not for you.

At 6:44 a.m.: The moon is opposite Venus, and the moon void of course begins

In the morning, the Cancer moon opposes Venus, stimulating emotional neediness. Venus has just begun its retrograde march and it is natural to feel confused about what we want. The Cancer moon desires safety and comfort, but as we reevaluate our priorities, the thought of change creates stress and anxiety! Conflicts in our relationships may be the source of strife, as we fear abandonment. Fortunately, the moon begins its void of course following this transit, signaling a time best spent in reflection and contemplation. Try using this time for journaling, mood boarding, or any creative activities to calm the mind.
