This weekend has a nurturing quality, as the budding crescent Moon dives into home loving Cancer, joining Mercury and Jupiter.
Combine the Cancer planets with Venus, who has just moved into Taurus, and this weekend has a soft, tender and supportive kind of feel. When two yin signs get activated (in this case, Taurus and Cancer), receptive, feminine and reflective themes emerge.
With three planets in the Cancer part of the sky one area of your chart/life will receive special attention.
If you know your chart, check the topics associated with the house that has Cancer on the cusp. If you don’t know your chart, classic Cancer themes like home, family, your living situation and what makes you feel safe are good topics to explore.
With so much Cancer activity, you may prefer to stick close to people or places that are familiar, or get back into favourite past times, hobbies or habits.
Of course, the Cancer Moon will connect with Mars, Uranus and Pluto so there may be some dramas or unexpected developments in the middle of the weekend. If so, make this motto your mantra ‘this too shall pass’ (because it will!) and focus on the positives, which Venus in Taurus is well equipped to provide.
Venus in Taurus adds a friendly, sweet and stable vibe that can help you put energy into enduring connections, or splurge on little luxuries. With earth and water the dominant elements, simple pleasures, like through food, relaxation or quality time with people you trust will feature.
Technically speaking, there are three planets in dignity or strength this weekend (Moon in Cancer, Venus in Taurus and Jupiter in Cancer) which can speak to extra support, opportunity or just general ease and flow.
