The crab loves to go sideways and backwards so while this energy might be a little perplexing at first, the crab will find it’s natural rhythm in June, retracing important moments in not only this life but past ones as well. Cancerians need to pay very close attention to their dreams and reveries, capturing them in any way that they can — in journal or art form. There are sacred mysteries waiting to unfold when the time is right and the time is right now. While you are journeying back into the hyperspace of being, make sure that your corporeal self is still as wide awake as it can be. You are particularly vulnerable this month to sob stories and the potentially shady laments of others. Do not be taken in by Internet scammers preying upon vulnerabilities. Even though it might be a difficult question for you to ask, your motto in June should be “Who profits from this?” This really impacts early crabs (late June) in relationship as Pluto retreats from Capricorn back into Sagittarius for a brief time. Truth fixes its stoic gaze upon you and you get to re-visit the reality of your most treasured one-on-ones. This is a time of waking up from the dream while diving into the depth your own nature. Take a deep breath and grow some gills for extended explorations into the deep self.

The Scorpio full moon on the 20th rises in your fifth house of creativity, love and romance. The full heat of this moon shines most brightly on you as you have the opportunity to experience deep gratification and rejuvenation in all things recreative and procreative. Psyche and body merge for you in ways that allow your deeply intuitive and sensitive nature to stretch out into ecstatic states of being and non-verbal communion. While you are undergoing a mini-transformation, Jupiter goes into reverse in your house of partnerships. Are the two related? Is there a decision to be made regarding duty versus destiny? Wait until the full light of the moon illuminates your choices. Whichever path you take, leads you to major moments that await you in latter June and July when Pluto opposes your transiting and natal Sun. Power plays loom large and the full moon ahead is just a harbinger of days to come.

Mars is still in touchy Cancer, but it’s moved out of the danger zone in its opposition with Pluto. The volcanic eruption in your life is settling down a bit, but now you have to deal with the lava flows as the liquid heat of Mars is coursing through your professional life. Instead of being swallowed by the molten undertow, build yourself a psychic pontoon made of the hardest alloys in the Solar System and surf the Vulcan tides with rapidity and clear direction. You can get where you want professionally this month, whether it’s surviving a merger, layoffs, or staff rebellions…you can handle it. Jupiter is still rewarding you with growth and expansion in relationships and you’ll get an extra boost in May when Venus enters Taurus. But until then, wear some asbestos undergarments and in the realm of work, survive and thrive while the heat is on.

Watch out, the Crab is on the war path and there’s nothing quite like a raging crustacean, claws swiping the air as it moves in a sideways strategy to all of life’s problems. You are fierce and here to protect some basic ideals around what you are this month. Relationships seem oppressive, like institutions…and institutions want to partner with you in ways that you’re not so comfortable with as the normally private crab is prodded out of the comfort of it’s shell. Don’t strike out first as an act of defense, as you might also manage to crush some allies as well in your quest defend your territory. All the celestial activity in Pisces is pointing to a higher way. Find a sauna and sweat your prayers into the air of possibility and forgiveness.

Other astrological events for March 2008

Mars is lurking in the shadows, compelling you to act out in ways that might not be socially acceptable right now, like unleashing road rage at glassy-eyed-grannies, hypnotized by the color red at stoplights, or having secret lunch hour trysts, feeling possessed by urges that are rattling your safe and homey cages. Don’t worry, this too shall pass, but the life quakes going on right now will erupt into full blown volcanoes of transformation come March. Hold on tight and find higher ground, you’ll need it for the lava flow that’s coming your way.

How can I put this as delicately as possible? Pluto will be the biggest teacher you’ve ever met. By the time it has transited onto Aquarius in 2023, you’ll be a completely different person. Pluto will challenge your relationships. It seems as though every one of your one-on-ones takes on the feeling of life and death. Power struggles get magnified and the normally retiring crab will be forced out of it’s shell. Cancer will learn to stand up for it’s beliefs as external influences exert force upon them. The United States is a Cancer country (July 4, 1776) and will experience the same dynamic as a collective. But the upside is that you’ll also get to have some really juicy, life-changing sex. Stay away from Capricorns though—that fatal attraction may be just that.
