Saturn moves out of Cancer soon, real soon. On July 17th to be exact. But before he does we have a big party in Cancer with the attendance of Mercury, the Sun and Venus. Something big ends for Cancers this week, that’s for sure. The same is true - especially true - for those of you who have planets in the late degrees of Cancer (25′-29′). If you do not know if you have planets here - then you need to have your chart done (auracle@astrologychick.com for inquiries).

This change can be a very good thing. Just ask any Cancer who has felt saddled with duty, hard work and responsibility for the past 3 years while Saturn soujourned through the territory of their own personal identity. Now, just as the pressure gets ready to end, there is one last party to attend.

Possible results of this teaming of Astrological influences; Mercury and Venus join together and send messages that relate to home, family, the values and the property of these families, as well as highlighting some people’s desire for home and family. Protective and nurturing instincts become prominent. The addition of Saturn to this equation brings in an element of fear, duty and responsibilty to the emotions and needs of the clan - particularly as related to motherhood and emotional roots. The peak of this influence is felt on July 26th when the three way conjunction of Saturn, Venus and Mercury in Cancer is most powerful, but don’t be surprised to feel these influences up to a week in advance - particularly if you have planets between 25′-29′ Cancer. In fact, if you have a planet here, there is certainly going to be an event in your life that is indicated and described by this transit.

The final attendee at the party is the Sun - our ego identification. The Sun is at the party, but not in the middle of the action, sort of a bystander if you will, since he has just entered Cancer and is hovering around at the early degrees 0′-8′. The placement of the Sun has the net effect of chasing up the action, or following the news, much like an NBC reporter scurrying to get onto the scene and show the world what is going on. Essentially this means action on the personal level for people who are being effected, followed by conscious recognition by the ‘world’. Sort of an ‘ah-hah’ experience after the fact. We can expect to see more of these ‘ah-hah’s’ reach the light of day around the 17th-20th of July as the Sun finally catches up to the action that took place around the 26th of June. Also expect a major change of mood around July 17th when Saturn finally, once and for all shifts moods out of Cancer (home-loving, fearful, worrying and traditional) into Leo where he highlights issues of courage, ego, integrity, identity, honor, fatherhood, and success.

Here just a few of my forecasts for the next 3 years while Saturn is in Leo. Issues of identity theft and personal security will be highlighted and require solutions. Individual leaders and personalities will rise to public recognition and take on more responsibilty towards the public, and may get a lot of criticism for doing so. Leo people will have to deal with authority, hard work, responsibilities and duties a great deal. This can lead to great advancement in work and reputation, but whatever area is weak will require hard work to strengthen. Some people will take courageous stands in their social structures and others will confront their fear of doing so. Personal integrity is drawn into public scrutiny. Questions of fatherhood, paternity and paternal responsibility will be examined. And finally, we will be watching a lot more ’star powered’ performances in the media, which should be very entertaining, but the stars themselves need to guard against over-work and exhaustion.

How will all this effect you? It depends on the configuration of planets in your personal chart or Horoscope.
