Summer Light
Sun in Cancer sextile Moon in Taurus, and Mars in Virgo sextile Jupiter in Cancer
The Sun is rising now
for the first time in Cancer season.
The light looks different
softer at the edges,
fuller in feeling.
We have entered the realm of memory,
of nourishment and belonging,
of the instinct to tend and be tended to.
The Sun has arrived in Cancer.
Jupiter is already here.
And the Moon, still in steady Taurus,
offers a helpful sextile
to this newborn summer Sun.
In astrology, a sextile is a 60° angle
a gentle invitation.
Support without pressure.
An open door.
Today, that door leads to your table,
your body, your garden, your family (or chosen family),
your sense of inner and outer harmony.
Sun Sextile Moon
This morning holds a sense of wholeness.
Soul and body work in rhythm.
You may feel attuned
to your space,
to the people around you,
to the quiet murmurs of your own inner landscape.
There’s grace in simple things today.
Getting the fruit into the bowl.
Setting the table.
Feeling into the pace of the moment.
There’s also a rare ease
between individual pursuits
and shared connection.
Relationships flow.
Tasks feel supported.
You don’t have to force anything.
The day wants to meet you in the middle.
Mars Sextile Jupiter (approaching)
And there’s more
a rising current beneath the stillness.
Mars in Virgo
and Jupiter in Cancer
are approaching their own sextile,
infusing this season
with vigor and heart.
This is the energy of a project coming to life
the picnic planned,
the trail mapped,
the meal prepared with love.
It’s action,
but not for ego or applause.
This is the happy warrior,
the gardener pulling weeds
and feeling the strength in their own hands.
You might feel a pull to move.
To act with clarity.
To begin something that feeds both body and soul.
This is not about rushing
it’s about stepping forward
with confidence and care.
Today’s Invitation
Let today be a soft beginning.
A fresh tablecloth.
New fruit in the bowl.
An herb clipped from the garden.
A pause to notice what it means to begin again
not just in thought,
but in rhythm and action.
Let the Moon guide your pace.
Let the Sun warm your center.
Let Jupiter remind you:
there’s more abundance on the way.
The Sun and Jupiter will join next week.
A new Moon will rise soon after.
But today—
just rise.
Like the light.
Like something within you
finally coming home.
