~Month of the Patient Crab!~
It is good to have happy associations with the Crab (Cancer in Latin) because its natives (those born June 21-July 22 or so) are generally such kindly, pleasant companions. Any sign can go wrong, but if that happens we can still look to the better side and hope to bring it out by sympathizing with and encouraging it.
This year the Month of the Crab extends from Friday June 21 through July 22. I am studying the monthly charts with a fresh awareness of what they can mean based on serious, careful, long-term research over the years. I am not expecting to complete an analysis of the current month in this report but am beginning it. More to come in following weeks.
The big challenge this month is the sun's opposition with Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. Welcome to reality. It's not that we can never rest, but that we do have our work carved out for us, and as we face it and accomplish it we feel better. Cancer and Capricorn are two of the most persistent signs of the zodiac. They bridge from the past to the future very consciously and without giving up. The past is important to them not because they sink back into it but because it provides a basis and fulcrum for everything desirable in the present and future. We can do this linking function, this continuity project, this month especially well because Mercury is slowing down and goes retrograde July 7 through 31. At its best this promotes wise looking into our past and feeling it in the present as helpful rather than restrictive. It suggests and supports gradual development of fresh potentials rather than scotching them.
Another major aspect this month is Mercury's square with Uranus, and also Mars's square with the same planet for M and M are together. This is an "antsy" aspect, not content with things as they are but striving for something new or experimental. To attain that one has to be one's own unique self, Uranus, and that is a contrast with the traditionalism of Cancer-Capricorn. So we may find ourselves wanting to do something original, which others don't grasp (the squares with Uranus) yet within a traditional context of reliable teachings or cultural normalities we believe in which support us even in our experimental adventures. I think you will be able to sense what that means for you.
Venus's aspects are good, though not outstanding, so there is plenty of social finesse, with smooth interaction available most of the time provided we don't get over-agitated by the Mars-square-Uranus impatience. Venus sextile Uranus shows that we are capable of appreciating the other person's uniqueness rather than feeling upset by it. This is a key to friendly relations. Then we feel better about one another even when pursuing independent projects which may not be fully appreciated by many.
The sun's trine with Neptune in Pisces, in water signs, is a pleasant suggestion of happy days at the beach or on the water. If this went too far or became irresponsible escapism then the hard aspects of Neptune would bring unhappy results.
There is a tension between "I want to get this done now" and "I see that this will take another month at least." We can work from both viewpoints at once and keep moderating one by the other.
If you have a vacation planned for this month, fine, it can work out in accord with the better aspects just pointed out. I might say, however, that if I were planning my summer freely I would choose either Leo (July 23 through August 22) or Virgo (August 23 through September 22) for a more extended and fulfilling vacation period. I'll explain why later, but both charts are filled with good aspects and might be excellent for exploring things and experiencing fresh life with free time at one's disposal. The Leo period could be more romantic, the Virgo month more business-oriented but nevertheless fulfilling at the personal or even romantic level.

It Never Entered my Mind This is one of my favorite old standards, by Rodgers and Hart. Its perfect harmonies and melodic lines have inspired countless jazz artists to work with it and one can feel their great love for it. This version by Linda Ronstadt is excellent, but really, if you don't want to OD on images of Linda Ronstadt, just skip the video and listen! I chose it for the music not the silly video.
