During this phase, the Sun will be conjunct with the Moon and will be conjunct in the sign of Cancer, bringing attention to the inner emotional sphere and everything related to emotions. In opposition, we will find Pluto in the sign of Capricorn: we will be intent on seducing or there will be the possibility of being enchanted by someone. This aspect invites us to delve into ourselves, to observe how we relate to others. Let's study ourselves a bit! Despite this important new moon in the sign of Cancer and linked to emotions, the aspects of this sky are aimed at what has to do with the mind, thought. Mercury is in the sign of Gemini and pushes us to use our head (more than our heart) in certain situations. But not only that: Mercury is in good aspect with Saturn, which supports our projects! Venus and Mars are in the sign of Leo, square to Uranus and in opposition to Saturn, urging us not to be carried away by passion and to be careful with impulsive decisions: let's always try to be logical! What this horoscope suggests for the 15 days from the new moon to the full moon is to align head and heart because the transits are positioned in such a way as to highlight the aspect of impulsiveness, but also the clear aspect needed to bring order to things.
Now the position of the Moon is exactly opposite to that of the Sun and we will have a beautiful Full Moon in the sign of Aquarius. This Aquarian Moon begins to approach Saturn, a position where the stars indicate that it is time to start thinking about ourselves, our ego, and healing our wounds. Mars and Venus are opposed to Jupiter in retrograde Pisces. It indicates not to be critical and not to let ourselves be criticized, because we are particularly sensitive and delicate: we are in the midst of a moment of personal introspection. Be careful about making future investments! Mercury in the sign of Cancer, which forms a trine with Neptune in Pisces, gives us the opportunity to use this moment in our lives to emphasize creativity, imagination, inspiration. This is not the time to act but to conserve our energies, to give vent to our creativity and then bring it into the world only later. It is a beautiful moment for refreshment: those who have the opportunity to take a vacation in these days will enjoy slow, delicate, happy, carefree moments, thanks to the fact that Mercury is trine to Neptune. The slow planets in this period are almost all retrograde, except for Uranus: they indicate that we are in a moment where it is not appropriate to act, but to prepare to act.

We are very close to the summer solstice and it is very interesting to work with its energy and with the plants connected to it. First of all, let's think about what the Sun means to us. What does it represent and how do we feel its power? Astrologically, the Sun represents yourself and what makes you unique in the world. It also contains the energy of creativity, the ability to start and lead projects, and the strength and vitality to succeed. In everyday magic, the energy of the Sun is often used to quickly bring our manifestations into the world. The magic of the sun is fiery, fast, and intense, so make sure to use this energy wisely!
All herbs and flowers have planetary correspondences. The plants associated with the Sun help us restore vitality and strengthen ourselves.
