Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Cancer

February 8, 2025

Moon transiting Cancer, Saturday, February 8th, brings increased psychic sensitivity and a deepening of emotions like sadness or longing, along with existential questions, as the moon forms a square aspect to the North Node and Neptune in Pisces conjunct Venus in Aries, and a sesquisquare aspect to Mercury conjunct the sun in Aquarius. Have you ever felt a sharp letdown after experiencing a good time — like returning to the harsh reality of cold winter days, alarm clocks, and bills, after a tropical vacation that was filled with excitement and the joyful freedom from responsibility? Well, today is similar to the vacation blues that hit when you come back to your “real life”. The moon hung out with Jupiter in Gemini while energizing Mercury and the sun in Aquarius for the last two days, imparting excitement and a positive perspective about your plans for the future, but today, the moon is revealing the shadow that was behind you as you stood facing that light. It is time to delve into that shadow. What is it telling you? I suspect there is a significant truth about who you are and why you are here. The Cancer moon quincunx to Pluto in Aquarius indicates that knowing your shadow more intimately will make you more powerful and strengthen your will and determination, and Mercury and the sun in Aquarius quincunx to Mars in Cancer activate the emotional intelligence you need to make decisions and take actions that are in alignment with your soul purpose. Although change and growth can be exciting, the release of the past and emotional processing that accompanies a transition can be exhausting on all levels. Be gentle with yourself today. Allow yourself — and others — time to examine and process feelings when they arise.
