Today is Tuesday, June 28, 2011<\/a><\/strong>. The Moon enters Gemini at 3:55 am EDT. Gemini is an air sign, friendly yet somewhat detached, like the wind constantly moving above the Earth. If you notice your mind engaging more fully with the world today, that is the Moon in Mercury-ruled Gemini talking; if you take that further into observing objectively, then you are listening.<\/p>\n

Tuning in to your powers of observation comes in handy with today\u2019s other main aspect, the Sun in Cancer opposite retrograde Pluto in Capricorn. A retrograde outer planet signifies the energy being driven inward and experienced in a very personal, subjective fashion. Pluto\u2019s domain is the underworld, a metaphor for our deep unconscious and instinctual natures \u2013 something well worth observing objectively.<\/p>\n

With the Sun in the active water sign Cancer, and moving toward an eclipse, the thing to watch is our feelings. Pluto signifies that which is buried and often these are forgotten, repressed or oppressed parts of our selves. The Capricorn influence means rules or people who have blindly or unfairly enforced them may have something to do with anything painful coming to the surface today, like a splinter that has been festering under your skin. All organisms have an organic healing response, bringing anything buried back to the surface and light of the Sun for healing. <\/p>\n

Luckily one of the gifts of Pluto is catharsis, which means cleansing or purging. If you do find yourself face to face with shadow material coming to light, releasing pent up emotions through a good cry or good laugh, shouting into your pillow or any intense emotional experience can be very liberating. Think of it as clearing your mind, like the sky after a storm has passed. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You may not have the option available to dive into your strong emotions the moment you notice them. But pay attention to where in your life that might be helpful, necessary or even unavoidable. Once you are in a safe place for you, you can reconnect with those emotions through poetry, a movie or some music. Or seek out a healthy form of any kind of intense experience, such as sex or dancing, which allows your animal instincts to be expressed freely and spontaneously. Reclaiming, restoring and revitalizing your connection to your instinctual animal self is the opposite of running wild; it is a way to find true balance, and it is possible to do so without fear. <\/p>\n
