From the title of this message, you may think all struggle and strife are over and done with. As last month taught us, however, the work is never quite finished. But the incredibly heavy lifting we experienced on many fronts during the April and May have passed. We can put the weighty spiritual bar bells down now. We squeezed through life’s eye of the needle and come out whole on the other side to tell the tale. Take a breather and savor the fruits of your labor for a moment. It is vital to give yourself permission to live a little.
Cosmically, our feet are firmly planted on the ground with
three planets and the lunar north node in earthy Taurus. This is
rock solid energy making it an excellent time to plant what you want to grow
more of in your life, whether education, relationships, business, home
life, etc. It is OK to spend a bit now as you will
reap a terrific return on wherever you invest your time, talents or
resources.
You may think twice about exactly how to spend the currency
and fuel of your life as the Gemini Sun challenges Taskmaster Saturn in Pisces
the first week of June. We feel the push
and pull of life’s obligations versus our desires and dreams; and oh yes, then
there is only so much money in the bank and time in any given day. The struggle is temporarily amplified by planets in all four fixed signs (Taurus,
Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) battling it out on June 1, which is decision day about
the national debt ceiling limit.
Any road blocks in your progress will not last; this is
especially important to note as we head into a Full Moon in Sagittarius on
Saturday, June 3rd. Do what liberates you is the message. We are offered alternative routes and helpful
detours if you will, afforded by Neptune and Venus aligning in Pisces and
Cancer; so make sure you lean into their flow in early June. Some may call this taking the path of least
resistance. Another name for this is
surrender, or saying a BIG YES to what IS working for you rather than
continuing to bang on closed doors. Embrace opportunity right under your nose.
If the last couple months showed us anything, it was to build more of what gives you
PEACE, JOY and LOVE. We are at the beginning stage of a completely new
paradigm in the history of mankind. The
veil is off; patterns operating on old and outdated programming and
conditioning will not stand. Anything
built on the dark arts of revenge, hate, or greed simply will not work
now.
The beauty of the Sagittarius Full Moon rests in its
honesty. Truth pours forth from its
bright spotlight, liberating everyone. Its energy feels like a gigantic
AH-HAH! Now I get it. Now I understand. Any
confusion or mystery will be cleared up by this educational and wise Full Moon.
Sagittarius also rules the law, as above, so below. So watch for where the rule of law applies in
your life or the world at large around this time.
Aligning to Motivating Mars in Leo, this is one creative
Full Moon. Go Big or Go Home, it says. Definitely: go explore, go venture forth beyond your
immediate world and discover how others live and do. Let’s
get this party started! Says the
alignment of our emotions (moon) and energy (mars). Feel the release, the joy and passion.
YAAAAAAS! We can all use the
delicious juice supplied by this planetary flow. If you are getting married, graduating or
celebrating any event, the first weekend in June will be a blast!
Even if you don’t have a specific occasion to toast, put
your party shoes on anyway as Valuable Venus joins Mars on Monday, June 5th,
just two days after the Full Moon. Joy
is here to stay, at least for the next month as both Venus and Mars revel in
Leo, the sign of romance, creativity and FUN, until July 10th. TAKE ADVANTAGE of their combined force.
Venus rules love, money, art, beauty and relationships;
while Mars directs our energy. Leo rules
risk taking; remember, you can only win if I you play. No risk, no reward. So go ahead and throw your hat in the
ring. Put yourself out there and take a
chance. Luck is on your side now. This is one fun, romantic and playful stretch
that doesn’t come along too often. With
warmer weather, take time to dance, explore and enjoy. Your adventures do not need to be expensive,
or even scheduled. In fact, the simpler and
more spontaneous the better; be full of childlike wonder and imagination. Take an unplanned detour to allow for
surprise.
Messenger Mercury shifts into its own sign Gemini on Sunday,
June 11th aligning to Powerful Pluto. Our powers of observation are super sharp
now. This is a terrific time to gather
and share information. Knowledge is power.
Equally, our words are on point. Express yourself and speak your truth but be
mindful of gossip and hearsay. Your words carry particular strength between
June 9-12th; so choose your words and thoughts wisely. We become what we think.
Trickster energy is afoot the week leading into the New Moon
on June 17th. Gemini Mercury
challenges Saturn in Pisces as the taskmaster turns retrograde. Watch for con artists, spin doctors, people
and situations that are too good to be true, pretending to be someone/something
they are definitely not. Focus, focus,
focus your attention intently from June 13th-18th. A pervasive illusion, disillusionment and
delusion, smoke and mirrors permeate everywhere along this stretch. So be sure
to look under the hood. Do not be shy
about asking hard questions. If someone
becomes uncomfortable due to the questions you ask, that tells you A LOT. Everything, actually.
Use caution during the weekend of June 17-18th
when Taskmaster Saturn turns retrograde at the same time as the New Moon in
Gemini. Set your New Moon intentions
with special care: understand WHY you are choosing particular words and the reason behind
your goals and wishes. Think long-term, what will happen if you reach your goal. What happens then? This New Moon could very well let the
proverbial genie out of the bottle…so be careful what you wish for.
This is underscored by the precise alliance of the two
cosmic titans: Jupiter and Saturn. Both
planets have to do with manifestation, albeit in different ways. Generous Jupiter rules expansion, growth,
learning and abundance while Taskmaster Saturn teaches and builds through life
lessons. Saturn now cycles through
spiritual Pisces, encouraging us to act on our beliefs, dreams and visions, as
Jupiter in earthy Taurus offers plentiful resources to plant and develop our
dreams.
Both planets teach us:
Jupiter by supplying opportunities and Saturn via trials and
challenges. Jupiter offers a full ride
scholarship while Saturn sends us through the school of hard knocks. As the two align and work seamlessly together,
it is deeply important to understand any motivation
beneath your dreams: why you want something
or someone; because you will receive what you ask for now. Carefully selected words and language are
always important but now more than ever when inviting a goal into your life. Choosing words well, hand write 3-5 goals or
intentions to plant in the ripening earth or set safely alight.
By the end of the week, the Sun enters Cancer the Crab,
reaching its apex in the northern hemisphere and marking the summer solstice on
Thursday, June 22nd. With
the Moon in Leo tightly wedged between Venus and Mars, get your festive attire
out. Under the long, lingering light,
celebrate life and practice gratitude for all you are and have accomplished.
Before long, Messenger Mercury joins the Sun in Cancer on
Monday, June 26th. Four
planets and the lunar south node cycle through water signs, strengthening our
intuition. Your internal GPS is deeply
accurate now. Follow where it leads. Trusting
divine guidance and timing never fail to deliver. Draw nearer to water and music, home, family,
food, and the mystical realms. Dip your
toe in the stream, sing a song, row your boat, build a sandcastle and watch the
ocean tide reclaim it. Life is the
daydream you make of it.
