Finding balance under a full moon

 

Figuring out a balance between your material and emotional life will be highlighted under this week’s full moon, July 3. 

On the one hand, you may feel the pressure to produce, perform or provide. While on the other, the emotional terrain of Cancer season doesn’t always bend to what the world wants from you.

Due to the needs of your inner life being spotlighted, not just this week, but for the next couple of months, your needs, wants and desires will likely drive your choices. Weighing up the balance between what has to be done versus what you’re in the mood to do, offers the chance to recalibrate. Even though the clash of differing desires is hard to shake off, Jupiter offers support through focusing on growth, stability and support. 

Also, Saturn in the mix reminds you that the effort you put in now — even if you don’t feel like it or even want to, is always rewarded.

Insights gleaned from sitting in a little bit of discomfort can encourage you to find a new solution or idea that can help you get the best of both worlds — even if that is not all at the same time.

I always ski on June 1st. Some years, the lifts are running, and I’m surrounded by a thousand of my closest friends and fellow ski bums, the line wrapping around the base lodge. Some of us are there for the bragging rights, others for the free t-shirt, and some time at the Umbrella Bar. There’s…

Drawing on inspiration

I know it was second grade because I remember the classroom. And I know what teacher was involved because I never forgot her or the moment I’m about to highlight. The year was 1974. I don’t have many memories from that stage of my life, but the following was poignant enough to have possibly set…

Celestial creature: Indigo bunting

June 4, 2025
There is nothing like the royal blue of an indigo bunting. In the Northeast, they arrive fashionably late to the spring fling, behind the vanguard of migrating warblers and other songbirds. On my morning walk in my frequent birding spot – my “patch,” as birders call it –I heard the sharp double-noted tune: “Look! Look!…
