Nurture 

We are all in this together

Today the Moon is very much at home in the watery constellation of Cancer.  Under its protective shell the crab is soft and tender, the psychological receptivity of the Moon allows us to embrace our feelings and sentiments whilst caring and nurturing others.  With the Sun square to Pluto, this is a day to see how we care.  To understand the difference between being overly concerned by smothering or being defensive and withdrawn and the protection we can provide by being reflective and accepting.
