I have a BIG decision to make and I don’t know how to make it.
I do think today’s sudden hot weather is messing with my mind but it’s not just that. It is a BIG decision.
How do *you* make big decisions? The kind that change your life forever?ย
Or maybe you don’t make decisions. Instead you stay passive and let life decide. Some things will pass you by if you wait like that.
And then sometimes the answer falls from the sky. That’s what I’d like to happen right now.
Are you listening, heavens above?ย
And I believe all this decision making or non-decision making is related to THE NUMBER 8.
Venus in Gemini is at 8 degrees now. Uranus is at 8. Pluto is at 8. Uranus and Pluto are squaring. Venus is sextiling Uranus. But Venus is retrograde.
Are the insights backwards? Or not at all? Where the f–k are they? Hiding in plain sight.
I was tweeting about this earlier today. About the 8 of Cups: it hurts but you got to go, you got to turn around, turn away, move on to the next thing.
But is the next thing the thing you left behind? Or the thing you are running towards? Are they the same?
There is a DISTINCT lack of clarity right now and yet clarity feels like it’s on its tippy toes, just around the corner but we can’t see it, we can’t feel it despite the Sun now in Cancer. We know that it’s there. We hope it will emerge.
In the meantime, the only thing I can think of is to defer to Jupiter: refuse to lie down and die despite vulnerable Sun, Moon, and Mercury in Cancer who has a tendency to hide in the bed.
With planets in Cancer, you can’t not feel, but… in a sky like this? Do it in moderation.

Love, MP

Oh Hone I hope you get help with your decision from wherever; the charts, the universe or your cat giving you advice. Hey I talk to my dogs so one never knows. I’d tell you to get ahold of my amazing astrologer (YOU) so that’s obviously not much help.
This post made me look at my chart & Venus is on my Mars in the 9th house. This is interesting because I got into a heated discussion with a Pastor on Saturday; I wasn’t disrespectful but he was a total asshole to me.
Good Luck with your decision and make sure you have the REAL TRUTH not assumed truth regarding all details before weighing the evidence to make a decision. I’ve recently discovered how important that is ๐
thank u, Tracie
I did a spiritual progress spread and the 8 of cups came up as influences acting against my progress.. Transiting Venus is exactly conjunction my Sun so I feel I am being helped along the way but with natal Venus in Cancer I can’t help but to keep looking back even tho I know I must keep moving forward..
Love & light to all
Xoxoxoxo
Ps I like when u sign off on ur post Mama MP!!
Oh interesting that the 8 of Cups was against ur progress. Are you doing too much change all at once? Throwing out something you need?
OH MAN YES: Cancer is always looking back. I must tweet that now!
PS I forgot about that “sign off” I’ll have to bring Mama back!
I don’t feel like I am.. but maybe its bc I’m good at adapting!
When It came up in my reading I saw it as tho I wasn’t moving fast enough! Like I was afraid of emotional change (which I am) and also cuz the “what I need to do” was the 3 of wands so to me the message was to keep looking forward! it was a very insightful spread.. if ur having a tough time perhaps it might help u too

Ps love it when Mama MP is in the house! lol
I have lots of water; cancer and Pisces, no Scorpio. I don’t have a lot of earth but my earth is emphasized: ascendant & moon. I think big choices are felt, in the end, but that doesn’t stop me from making lists, needing to understand every facet of a potential decision and it’s consequences, and being generally ill at ease with the unknown. After I’m done with the busywork, I go with what feels right. I can’t say for sure that all my hard work matters in the end but it gives me a sense of having been thorough which helps me to get on with things. I’ve never decided for anything that felt wrong, I don’t have any trouble disregarding some things but feelings can never be disregarded. Too much water ๐ I hope you find some acceptance around the upheaval, I have recently found a little acceptance around mine. Maybe a gift of the sun in cancer..xo
Thank you ๐ Never a dull moment that’s for sure. Interesting how the truth comes out in my life… ***slowly****
Remember though: you get your Scorpio stuff in *other ways* (remember where your Mars is! This is major!)
