FRIDAY, 5/6/2022

Today’s Cancer Moon acts something like a master deal maker today. Instinct, intellect, and intuition somehow seem to effectively merge and we find a myriad of opportunities to make progress. Of course, with Mercury nearly stationary and preparing to turn retrograde next Tuesday, we should expect that there will be some need for review of today’s progress. Nonetheless, today offers some lucky breaks, rewards, and unanticipated benefits. Only time will tell how well today’s advances serve us in the future but they are likely to feel quite good today.

Luckily, a helpful aspect between the Cancer moon and Neptune adds a dreamy and healing vibe to the morning, allowing you to fantasize about your path moving forward. Just don’t get caught up in the details of how it might change you. With Mars expressing the moon through a gentle aspect, you might have an easy time digesting all of the work you need to do in order to reach your goals.

However, all this watery energy can make us feel lost in a haze. Try not to get overwhelmed by the big picture. Just remember to take things step by step.

Your self-care and responsibilities might be at odds right now as well. It’s important that you be extra kind and patient with yourself and those around you today. Stepping into your deep emotions might be easy to do at the moment. It’s okay to feel your feels and focus on healing yourself. In fact, it’s important to do so on a regular basis as a form of self-care.

As the day comes to a close, the moon can allow us to find inspiration and hope as long as we remember to keep one foot on the ground and not get lost in the deep cosmic sea of emotion and ambiguity.

DAILY ORACLE

Don’t talk yourself into diving deep into something just because you see the potential of things instead of what they really are now. The necessary work and patience involved may not be the best use of your energy.

Have you seen the potential in someone and think that if you love and support them, they will become the person who knows you love them beyond all others? Have you stepped into an opportunity that you know feels too good to be true and might not turn out the way you hope?

Now is not a time for selective, limited perception that can lead to misjudgment. Instead, this is a time for going deep and being honest about what you find as you explore the depths. Have no fear, for whatever you find below will help you love and understand yourself and others, and make better choices.

Can you sense Swan Spirit calling you to dive deep and resurface to choose again?
