Suggested Reading: Transit Ceres in the Houses Asteroid Abundantia, the asteroid of abundance, is going to move from air sign Gemini to water sign Cancer in a few days. Abundantia can show where we're experiencing abundant energy at the moment, and whether there are challenges or benefits. What does Abundantia in Cancer have in store for us? Asteroid Abundantia in Cancer 2022 Dates:
Asteroid Abundantia in Cancer 2022 General Impact:
Abundantia in Cancer can bring abundant energy to home and family matters. We may spend more time in the places that are most familiar and feel like home, or with the people we know best and are comfortable with. Some may expand their family during this time, or expand their home (moving to a bigger place or renovating your existing one).
Comfort and familiarity are a big thing for Cancer, so that's what we may focus on having more of. We want to be comfortable, and we want familiarity. We may have greater abundance when we're comfortable and in familiar places with familiar faces, or there may be more opportunities to do or be with or in those people and places. Cancer is the bottom of the Zodiac, so it connects with internal foundations. With Abundantia in Cancer, we may have greater opportunities to improve internal foundations of ourselves, our relationships, or projects and ventures. We can access more abundance in our lives when we feel our foundation is secure. Cancer rules emotions, so there may be an abundance of emotion with Abundantia in Cancer. Whatever we feel, we may feel a lot more of, whether it's joy, or sadness, or anger, or confusion. We may need to work on regulating that! While in Cancer, Abundantia will conjunct, or align with, Black Moon Lilith on June 30th, and this comes with Abundantia conjunct the Sun on June 29th and square (challenging aspect) Jupiter on June 27th. Abundance can be a huge focus thanks to the Sun, and we can be more passionate about it and want to do more thanks to Lilith. But, we may feel stuck in some way, or need to carve out our own way thanks to Jupiter. Abundantia conjuncts Mercury on July 11th, and this can greatly increase mental energy, ideas, and communications, and this may focus on home/family matters, emotions, or foundations. Abundantia sextiles (beneficial aspect) Uranus on July 23rd, and this can help us try different ways of creating abundance. On August 6th, Abundantia is trine (beneficial aspect) Neptune, and is then conjunct Venus on August 7th. Compassion and empathy can be high, and we may want to be more helpful with others. We can care a great deal, and feel the need to give support. The hardest aspect is when Abundantia is opposite Pluto on August 11th. This might bring power struggles that seem out of control, and we can see more anger, rage, and violence. We have to get that under control so we're not doing something we regret later. We need to make sure our emotions aren't getting the better of us. Suggested Reading: Transit Asteroid Abundantia Aspects Intuition can be helpful for managing any of life's challenges. It can steer you in the right direction, at least when it's telling you and you're listening. But what are some astrology transits that can heighten intuition, making it stronger for you to listen to? Astrology Transits in General for Intuition
Full moons are great for intuition, while the water signs of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces connect to intuition as well. Put them together, and a full moon in Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces is excellent for intuition.
Cancer full moons can give us emotional intuition, while Scorpio full moons can give strong intuition, but maybe overwhelming at times if we're not comfortable with its power. Pisces is the natural ruler of intuition of the signs, so Pisces full moons are excellent for intuition overall. New moons in these signs can be helpful for starting to work on your intuition, if you need to. They're just not as strong in general. Full moons that are in aspect to Neptune, the natural ruler of intuition, can also show heightened intuition. Easy aspects (sextiles and trines) can make it easier to manage, while hard aspects (conjunctions, squares, and oppositions) can make it more difficult, yet make the energy stronger. Neptune is currently in Pisces, so that would be full moons in Pisces (conjunct), Virgo (opposite), Gemini and Sagittarius (square), Cancer and Scorpio (trine), and Taurus and Capricorn (sextile). The transit planets in the sign of Pisces can also be times of heightened intuition, and we have one we've been in for a while and will be for a while longer with Neptune at home in Pisces. We're all likely much more focused on connecting to our spiritual and intuitive selves, and can be for a few years longer. These are astrology events that impact all of us, but will likely be stronger if it's impacting you specifically in some way (like in your 1st house, aspecting your 1st house cusp or ruler, or aspecting your natal Sun or Moon). Personal Astrology Transits for Intuition
Now, what are some astrology events that heightened your intuition specifically for you? With Neptune being the planet of intuition, Neptune aspects can heighten intuition, and these include aspects by transit Neptune to your natal chart and by the other transit planets to your natal Neptune.
By transit Neptune to your natal chart, easy aspects (sextiles and trines) are more helpful and beneficial, and while hard aspects (squares and oppositions) are more challenging and you have to make sure you don't get lost in it, you may actually see a bigger increase in intuition. You can also experience heightened intuition with involvement by the Moon. While Neptune rules intuition, it's in a spiritual way, and the Moon governs emotional intuition as the Moon rules your emotions. Emotional intuition can be super helpful, and you can see heightened emotional intuition with the transit (moving) Moon in your 1st, 4th, 8th, or 12th houses (lasts 2-3 days each), in your Moon sign, or conjunct (aligned with) your natal Neptune. Conjunctions, sextiles, and trines by the transit Sun, Venus, Ceres, Jupiter, Neptune, and Chiron to your natal Moon can also heighten intuition. Suggested Reading: Strengthen Intuition With Emotional Security One of the biggest progressed events you experience in your life is a progressed new moon. This happens when your progressed Sun and progressed Moon conjunct (align). On average, you experience 2 or 3 in your life, so it's not very often. Why is it important? What is the progressed chart?
The progressed chart adds one day to your date of birth for every year of your age, creating a new chart reflecting your maturation and growth with age. It's used in predictive analysis, and events in the progressed chart can trigger important periods in your life. Progressed new moons (and full moons) are one of those periods.
About Progressed New Moons:
A new moon is enthusiastic, high energy, and focused on the new. Under a regular new moon every month, we get this excitable energy ripe for a new beginning.
When you experience this in your progressed chart, the energy is even stronger, and it's just for you. The energy lasts a lot longer too, with regular new moons only lasting about 2 weeks, and progressed new moons lasting for about 2-3 years. This gives you a prolonged period for starting not just something new temporarily, but for a long time to come. This can be a whole new journey for your life. It's strongest around when it's exact, but you can start feeling the energy leading up to that, and well after it's exact. It's a great time for a new beginning, a new journey in your life, and often signals a new chapter of some sort. Of what exactly is usually ruled by the sign the progressed new moon occurs in, the natal or progressed house it occurs in, or natal or progressed planets that aspect the new moon (the closer they are, the stronger they can be, though conjunctions tend to dominate). They tend to be even stronger when they occur in your Sun or Moon sign (natal or progressed), or in the natal or progressed 1st house (ruling the self), or aspecting the natal or progressed angles (which rules the pillars of life and activate high energy). This can trigger major developments for you, no matter what. It can also bring the spotlight to you in some way. It may be more challenging if the progressed new moon occurs at 29 degrees, the anaretic degree. This is super high energy, so it can be full of energy to start anew in some way, and there may be a huge development, something truly epic, where something big begins. The challenge is trying to control this, and it may feel bigger than you can handle at times, so you have to work on making sure you're not overdoing anything. It may also be challenging if it's intercepted in your natal or progressed chart. Intercepted means the sign it occurs in isn't on any house cusp, and is contained in the house that falls in the previous sign. This contains the energy of the progressed new moon, so it may be quieter for you. There may be some subconscious blocks that pop up, needing to be worked on so you don't miss out on the energy. And, also note if the progressed new moon occurs in the same sign as your progressed North or South Node. This means it's a progressed solar eclipse! You can take that new beginning energy and times it by a zillion. This is huge energy for a big new journey, a fresh shot at life, and you can have incredible energy and enthusiasm, and may get some attention.

Many astrology charts have 12 houses, and each relate to different parts of life. Your natal chart is a snapshot of the locations of the planets, other bodies, and houses in the Zodiac at the moment you're born and from the location you're born at. Each of your natal houses connects to different parts of your life and personality.
The twelfth house is ruled by Neptune, the notorious foggy planet. Neptune obscures, and makes it difficult to see things clearly, and usually forces us to operate on instinct as a result. At-a-Glance 12th House Keywords:
Twelfth House in Astrology: The Hidden
The twelfth house is the house of the hidden, so anything that is with the 12th house is hidden energy. It operates on a subconscious level, and it's something we have to work on consciously connecting with.
Twelfth house energy can come out when we're alone, when we're working behind the scenes in the background, and when we're out of the spotlight. We have to be comfortable, and we have to trust others around us, otherwise we have to be alone. Twelfth House in Astrology: Karma
Karma is associated with the 12th house, and this can be where we have karmic lessons to learn and karmic baggage to work through. When other people connect to our 12th house, we may have a karmic connection with them.
Twelfth House in Astrology: Artistry
The twelfth house is super creative, ruling the arts and imagination. This can be a way of expressing ourselves without relying on conscious thought, and we can nonverbally communicate through something artistic, creative, imaginative, and fantastically unreal.
There is a connection to energy that is outside of ourselves, and this can be difficult to control. Creativity offers a way to do that. Twelfth House in Astrology: Spiritual
Being ruled by Neptune, the twelfth house is a spiritual house. It governs our spiritual selves, how and where we find our spiritual beliefs, and what we connect with on a spiritual level.
This can also show a strong intuition, since we're connected to the subtle energies all around us with this house. Twelfth House in Astrology: Sacrifice
The twelfth house rules sacrifice, and what's associated with this house may show where we sacrifice in our lives. It doesn't have to be a permanent sacrifice, but it can be one that is profound and has a lasting impact on uis.
We can learn through loss and gain more compassion through pain with this house, and our empathy increases, and we want to do more. Volunteer work is ruled by this house. Twelfth House in Astrology: Self-Undoing
This is the house of self-undoing, and we can be our own worst enemy with the twelfth house. It can show how and where we get in our own way, and have to learn to stop working against our own interests.
This can relate to old baggage, both in our early lives as well as karmic. Where Your Twelfth House Energy is Found
For everyone, look to the Zodiac sign your twelfth house falls in. The areas of life ruled by that sign are where you can find the hidden, spiritual, karmic, sacrificial energy in your life. Also look to the natural planetary ruler of your twelfth house (the natural planetary ruler of the Zodiac sign your twelfth house falls in) as this can also connect to the 12th house energy.
If you have any natal planets in your twelfth house, this can make the twelfth house energy a lot stronger for you. That planet is likely hidden energy to you, and you may have difficulty accessing it. You need to connect with it consciously, and not give in to sacrificing it or letting it be your undoing. Transit (moving) planets touring your twelfth house can bring some temporary energy for twelfth house matters. It can be strongest with transit Saturn, since the lessons you need to work on and baggage you need to let go of can feel stronger. Transit planets aspecting your natal 12th house ruler can stimulate twelfth house energy as well, and conjunctions, squares, and oppositions by transit Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, or Chiron can be especially challenging, yet you may struggle with seeing things realistically and need to remove to veil clouding your vision.For everyone, look to the Zodiac sign your twelfth house falls in.

A Strong Twelfth House in Astrology
Some may have a super strong natal twelfth house. This can be the case for you if you have:
- a stellium (3+ planets) in the 12th house - your Sun, Moon, or Chiron in the 12th house - your North or South Node in your 12th house - your 1st house ruler in the 12th house - your 12th house cusp or ruler anaretic (at 29 degrees) - retrograde Mercury, Venus, or Mars in the 12th house or ruling the 12th house When you have a strong 12th house, you're someone who likely hides a LOT in your life. You keep everything from others, and may have many secrets. None of them may be super bad, but you're likely not comfortable sharing and are far from an open book. You have to learn to open up more. There may be a lot of baggage you have to work on letting go of. You may struggle with issues from childhood or from past lives, and have many lessons to learn. Therapy can be a very good thing for you. You can be super compassionate and empathetic, yet struggle to convey these things clearly. You may sacrifice yourself to help others, but it may not actually be necessary for you to do that if you just open up more. There can be a lot in your subconscious you need to consciously connect to. Worry less about what people will think or say, and more about your own opinions of yourself.

Ceres in the Zodiac Signs in the Natal Chart:
Natal Ceres in Aries
Ceres in Aries means you're someone who can take the reins with your own nourishment and give yourself the support you need. You don't need to look to others as much (unless the house location says otherwise!). You're someone who may feel driven to support others as well, and you can grow your resources and what you have quickly, and jump at opportunities to do so. You may need to address impulsive behavior or anger issues as this can get in the way of you having what you need when you need it. Natal Ceres in Taurus Ceres in Taurus puts Ceres in the sign it's argued to rule, so Ceres feels at home here. You can create abundance that lasts, and you can use your resources wisely. It can take time for you to build up the nourishment you need, but once you have it, you can keep it. You may show support for others in physical ways, and can take care of people's financial needs. You may connect strongly with the physical world, your physical body and senses, and can have a special connection to food. Natal Ceres in Gemini Ceres in Gemini makes mental support important for you. You need to nourish your mind, and this may mean taking in a lot of knowledge, becoming an expert in something, or simply learning how to use your mental energy well without going overboard. Your mind may need periodic breaks, otherwise you can break down. You can voice support for others, and may be a pleasant communicator who has a way of finding the right things to say. You can be very supportive of the younger people in your life, and may be a good teacher. Natal Ceres in Cancer Ceres in Cancer makes emotional support important for you. You need to take care of yourself emotionally, and a strong support system can be key to you feeling like you have everything you need. You can have everything physically, but it feels empty to you without enough emotionally. You can also be super supportive of others emotionally, and may give more than you get, which has to be addressed. A solid home and family life is something that can be vital for your growth. Natal Ceres in Leo Ceres in Leo can show that you're someone who needs a certain amount of attention, affection, and praise. Without that, you may feel you don't have enough of anything in your life. You may be super creative, and being creative can help you to nurture yourself, as well as give you opportunities for receiving attention. Children, whether your own or others, can greatly benefit from your support and encouragement. Your hobbies can help you find the support you need. You may need to work on issues surrounding getting attention. Natal Ceres in Virgo Ceres in Virgo can show that you're someone who needs some structure and order to feel calm, supported, and like you have what you need. What you actually need may be a lot less than others, and you know how to get by with very little. Work that you do on a daily basis, whether an actual job or otherwise, can help you to nurture yourself. You can support others in quiet ways, doing little things for those you care about. You may need to address issues with perfectionism and being too hard on yourself getting in the way of confidence. Natal Ceres in Libra Ceres in Libra may mean your relationships and the people in your life are super important for you. Having healthy relationships with people you respect can make you feel abundant and nourished. You can give lots of support, but need to make sure this is balanced and goes both ways. You can nurture yourself when you're in peaceful, calm environments, and may want to avoid chaotic people. You can be an excellent negotiator though, good with compromise and mediation. Natal Ceres in Scorpio Ceres in Scorpio may mean you're intense and passionate about support and nourishment. You can use the resources of others well, and use your own resources to help others. You may give a lot away, but need to make sure you remember to keep some for yourself. Intimacy can be important for your confidence, and you can thrive when you have strong physical and emotional bonds with others. As always with Scorpio, you may need to undergo some sort of transformation before you can feel you have what you need in life. Natal Ceres in Sagittarius Ceres in Sagittarius may mean that having space nourishes you. You likely need to get a certain amount of time to do whatever you want, without strings or responsibilities, and to have new experiences and new adventures. You can be bold when it comes to nurturing yourself, and those new experiences can help you feel secure. You can either struggle with giving support to others since you want so much space, or you may support others in very big ways. You can be a good mentor or have a way with words. Natal Ceres in Capricorn Ceres in Capricorn can show your goals are important for you, and you may feel nourished when you're pursuing what you want to achieve. You may not feel as supported in your younger years, but can amass a lot of resources as you get older and feel more secure. Feeling truly supported and nurtured may come later in life. You can take your responsibilities with supporting others seriously, and may prioritize their needs above your own. Taking on too much may be something you need to address. Natal Ceres in Aquarius Ceres in Aquarius can show embracing the unconventional and being true to your unique self is important for you to feel like you have what you need. You may find that your needs are unconventional, different in some way, or how you feel your needs may be different somehow. Your friends can be a source of great support, and your causes can be a way for you to have an impact on helping others. You may need to address issues around detachment. Natal Ceres in Pisces Ceres in Pisces can show you likely don't ask for much for yourself, and want to take care of others instead, so you're super supportive and compassionate. You can sacrifice anything and everything for those you care about. This means you need to work on prioritizing yourself, and not constantly sacrificing. Your spiritual needs may be most important for you, or you may find that being creative is a way for you to nurture yourself. You have to learn it's okay to take care of yourself.
