So we’re all obsessed with Mars entering Cancer and what that’s gonna do to our world(s), inside and out. I’m no political, global, astrologer. I talk mainly about the personal, about the body. And I mean that in every way possible.
Here’s today’s MoonPluto help: when you are in a sullen mood, a gloomy doomy despairy mood… well, this is the image that came to mind for me today:
What you want to do is catch the sullen mood like a firefly in a jar. Not that I’m advocating trapping helpless creatures; it’s a metaphor.
And then do what?
Then you observe. Quietly. Put your nose up to the glass. And ask. Doesn’t have to be in words. And it may not be in the form of a question. This ain’t Jeopardy. But maybe it is, maybe it will be.
Edgar Cayce (I’m paraphrasing) talked about prayer being the asking and meditation being the listening, which I am equating to the Opposition in astrology. Two halves of a whole. Do one, do the other: balance needed.
Cancer and Capricorn, Mama and Papa, need each other. And Mars in Cancer/Pluto in Capricorn is where we’re going, the next drama of late summer, August.
So, fellow StarGazers, find your Cancer and Capricorn houses in your chart and you will find your Spiritual Friend. You will find what you need to do more or less of. And maybe you need both. But what I want you to do is look and think and listen.
Then let it out of the jar. The knowledge is yours. Apply it to your life.

I decided a couple of weeks ago to do something about my hate/anger. I gathered it in my hands and took it out of myself to have a look. It started out as a black gunky blob then transformed into a snarling, hissing, spitting little black dragon. He was so cute and small, all I could do was smile at him. I let him wear himself out, then told him he didn’t have to be this way. He replied “Yes I do!” (omg, he even had the cutest little lisp). I told him “No, you’re wrong, you’ve been duped. Let me show you what you can be – if you choose.” I showed him a magnificent huge green giant, all shimmery and shiny.
He looked at me and said “Really, I can be that?”
I said “Really, I wouldn’t lie to ya. You just have to choose. It would benefit us both if you did.”
He just got real quiet.
For the next two days I just sat with my arm around him in silence, stroking him, loving him.
On the third day he looked at me and said “I don’t want to be like this anymore.”
I wasn’t sure what to tell him to do so I just kinda left it at that. I got busy with other things then a few days later remembered him and went looking.
Lo and behold, he was in a cocoon, all kind of mushy and translucent. I can see some green starting to shine through. He’s still there, I’m in no rush.
The healing power of Neptune.
Wow Mandy that was great! What an image….
I like this firefly metaphor. I like metaphors like pie … almost any kind will satisfy me. This one is close to my pie and astrology liking: my hubs is Cancer sun and I am Capricorn moon, in many ways and in many situations the mother-man and father-woman have created some very wonderful outcomes; sometimes we don’t recognize how we have switched roles and then there’s trouble. Like! Who’s wearing the pants? Well, we both are and between us we have few skirts. But, really the oppositions are an aspect that serves in growth. I have come to appreciate them as balance Coconut Bliss and Raspberry Tart. Bring home the Bliss, I’ll make the tart.
Over and over, my spiritual process has included opposition and recipe making. It’s what I do inside my jar when I’m doing your firefly metaphor. It works most of the time. Metaphors that is. This was fun … spiritual progress ought to be that whenever possible!
Love your pie metaphor lol 🙂
