And in the face of the beautiful slow and ponderous Saturn, we also find ourselves in the second decan of Cancer which is ruled by slippery quick Mercury.
These influences feel somewhat at odds, pulling in opposite directions. Maybe it is time to step back a bit and focus on some self-care as we navigate these times we are living through.
This week, let's try and use the planetary forces of each day and make the most of them as we consider how to strengthen and renew our bodies and spirits.
I would suggest each day along with the card draw, or in combination with it, take a real action in your life to capture the spirit of the day. Use the draw as a way to deeply consider the concept or to inspire an action.
Here are some suggestions (and they are only suggestions) to help you find your way as you do your draws for each day with this in mind:
- Saturday - Ruled by Saturn – Think about your boundaries and where you may need to shore them up.
- Sunday - Ruled by the Sun – Health and radiance, inside and out
- Monday - Ruled by the Moon - Dreams, enchantments, fantasies, let them flow
- Tuesday - Ruled by Mars – Indulge in something you normally deny yourself.
- Wednesday - Ruled by Mercury – Make plans for yourself for a little future happiness, an outing, a holiday, lunch with a friend...
- Thursday - Ruled by Jupiter - make time to do something special or kind for another person. I know this is supposed to be “self-care” but sometimes this is what we need.
- Friday - Ruled by Venus – Take in some art, a book, a museum, whatever you like. And consider the role of art in your life.
(If you are new to My Celestial Week or want to know more about it, you can see this post.)
Also remember, you can jump in any time, the week starts when you start it.
So choose a deck for this week's exercise and begin when you are ready.
Have a listen to some radio emissions from the Planet Saturn
