AstroWeathers | The Week Ahead | 2023 JULY 3 -9

Mercury in Cancer Square Chiron in Aries

Who are you, really? This is a question we often can't really answer. We have some stock answers like our names, genders, race(s), sexual orientations, religious and cultural origins or practices, job titles, relationships to others, etc. BUT are these really expressing the truth of who you really are?

Mayyyybe.

This transit is asking us to consider the words/thoughts/ideologies we use to identify our SELF.

• What identities are given to you? Which are chosen?

• Do you love this or that identifier or do you hate it?

• Have you ever questioned why you'd hold an identity or identifier you don't actually like?

• Have you noticed that all these labels are intentional acts of control and oppression yet?

The truth about most of the identities we hold is that we were violently forced to twist and bend into a capitalist/whiteness framework in order to hold them and that's fully intentional. The wounds caused by this forceful fitting of round squishy beings into boxes are sometimes obvious and others are more subtle and shifty.

There is a tone set by this toxic culture that we must hold and an acceptable, approved identity and stick to it too. We're not allowed to dislike the ones we're given, like gender, race, or any that are based on how we look or present. We're supposed to be excited about the ones that we get thru relationships, like mother, sister, daughter etc. BUT sometimes those identities don't fit or feel yucky.

Why is it not okay to move thru our own lived experiences with your own damn inner self?

Why can't we identify as a banana or a rainbow?

That's what Mercury in Cancer wants us to consider as it sets this separating Square to Chiron in Aries… what identities do you want to release and move away from because it/they actually cause you discomfort or harm?

Digging into the wounds you have from this twisting and bending to be something you're actually not aligned with can bring us very powerful Magical Gifts and Tools. AND, bonus, these may actually be weapons we can now use against these systems of oppression and harm.

How? Embracing our true identity unlocks our superpowers. It frees us from the fears we have about not being enough and it stops us from seeking out perfectionism. This makes room for us to focus our energy on our true WeRK in the world.

WTF is a MoonScope?

The Full Moon in Capricorn will arrive on Monday and we will end the week with the Last Quarter Moon in Aries on Sunday. There's big Moon energy this week! 

What Houses will The Moon light up in your chart? Notice what Houses are being traveled in your chart to see where you may be more emotional or intuitive this week. It's also valuable to notice what planets in your natal chart will be illuminated by The Moon
