Planets are playing musical "signs;" Prepare for a shift in emotional energy!

What folks are saying and thinking is a lot closer to their hearts than you or they may think, as Mercury, the planet of the "Mind" and "Communication," shifts into "Sensitive" Cancer and will remain there thru August 8th. Verbal comments may get taken too seriously and sparring over petty things and issues from the past may arise over the next several weeks. People mean what they say a little too much, and say what they really mean too little. There's a cry over the milk, spilled or not, so speak judiciously, with sensitivity. Adding to the dramatic affairs, the "Empathetic" Pisces Moon joins "Nebulous" Neptune in "Dreamy" Pisces. Like Cancer, Pisces is a water sign, adding to a translucent experience and daydreaming of better times ahead. Flashbacks to the past are possible now. Your thoughts will run deep as the Moon also captivates Pluto, allowing your mind to delve into all that is deep, dark and mysterious and purge right through to the heart of any matter. The regrets of past mistakes coupled with the desire for change is enough to make it happen. Moreover, the Moon pairs up with "Serious" Saturn in Capricorn making many yearn for stability in their home-life, careers and relationships. This could be the start of something new in your life and those around you. Mars enters the sign of Gemini today and will remain there through July 13th. Combined with the other planetary elements, it's possible to make rash moves based on emotions rather than logic. Temper tantrums and emotional upheaval are par for the course. Try to avoid the confrontations and collisions before they happen. When the chips fall down, it's important to put things in perspective. It's one of those times where mountains can be easily made out of mole hills. Therefore, let the "little" things roll off your shoulders and focus on what's really important during this time.

This is Not the day for "woe is me" or sitting on the "pity pot" as it will likely fall on deaf ears. It's a day for positive reassurance for yourself and those around you. Tonight, the emotional energy may change as the Moon slides into the sign of "Nurturing" Pisces yet forms a harsh aspect to Mars creating an atmosphere of confusion and emotional tension for some. Early tomorrow morning, the "Imaginative" Pisces Moon joins "Outer-world" Neptune while the Communication Planet, Mercury enters "Sensitive" Cancer and Mars enters "Quick-witted" Gemini. It's very important to stay grounded. Impulsive actions based on emotional upheaval is possible.
