What personal changes do you notice when focusing on nurturing activities as opposed to your usual detail-oriented tasks?

The Sun in Cancer is sending a friendly cosmic wink at your natal Vesta in Virgo, and this sextile is like a celestial green light for a bit of emotional and self-care indulgence. You might find yourself drawn to the warmth of your home nest, or the urge to stir the pot, both literally and figuratively, might bubble up within you. This is a time where the universe is gently nudging you to swap your magnifying glass for a ladle, to trade the scrutinizing eye for the caring embrace.

As you embrace the nurturing Cancerian energy, you may notice a subtle shift in your personal dynamics. The usual hustle to dot the I's and cross the T's takes a back seat as you're called to the comfy couch of caregiving and emotional connection. Think of it as swapping your high-precision watch for a sun dial; there's a newfound appreciation for the 'approximate' and the 'feels about right,' rather than the 'exact' and 'just so.' You might even surprise yourself by how willingly you exchange a spreadsheet for a recipe sheet.

This transit whispers in your ear that there's more to life than the perpetual pursuit of perfection. As you nurture others or yourself, a sense of fulfillment creeps in that your usual meticulous tasks don't always provide. It's as though your inner gardener has taken the reins from the inner accountant, finding joy in the growth and blossoming of those around you rather than just tallying up the columns of life's ledger. Your spreadsheet might miss you, but the tomato plants and your loved ones certainly won't.

The sextile is known for its supportive energy, and in your case, it's supporting a shift from micro-managing to macro-nurturing. This doesn't mean your love for detail has been lost; rather, it's being expanded to include the details of emotions and care. You might find that in focusing on nurturing activities, a different part of your brain lights up, and you feel a release from the usual constraints of Virgoan detail-orientation. Embrace the messiness of life, and remember, not every paint stroke has to be within the lines to create a masterpiece.
