Greetings dear Ones,
As I write, an orange and green bird (possibly an Evening Grosbeak) alights on the freshly filled water bath and attracts my attention. He sips and flies away, trading places with his mate. She is clad in plainer feathers and drinks deeply, holding the water in her cheeks. Together, they have a nest somewhere, a delicate, yet strong thing, woven of grasses, twigs and plastic. She reminds me of me, of these times. She’s built a home with no guarantees that her eggs will hatch. No guarantee that her fledglings will survive. She’s like us, my friend. There are no guarantees. Not now, not ever.
What we do have and always will, is the endless process of creation. Each day a fresh start, regardless of the things that must be done or the aching emptiness that lies heavy on the heart. The month of June with its emphasis on light-winged Gemini gives us that fresh start.
The month begins resonating with the Gemini New Moon that took place on May 30th. There’s a rewiring at work, in your mind and in your life. This is the area of your experience that includes your neighbors, your siblings, childhood play, and conversations of all kinds. Within a few days, Mercury the ruler of Gemini, turns direct bringing back the events and topics of the last three weeks. Corrections may need to be made, decisions refined but there is movement! Mars and Jupiter are conjunct in pioneering Aries. It’s go, go, go. It’s the first time in two years that Mars has been in Aries, and twelve since Jupiter entered Aries. It’s easy to get caught up in the fast paced, even aggressive, action of it all. Something (or someone) new is coming into your life. It’s like a birth. You can see and feel how unique this time is, can’t you.
Power and purpose are found in the present moment, though the future calls. Can you hold the present moment as you would a little bird’s egg? Delicate and brimming with potential. Can you be, as Ted Lasso says: “a goldfish,” that is one having a short memory. Letting go of what just happened and how you may have screwed up? This is June’s challenge.
Early in the morning on June 3rd, Mercury turns direct and finishes up its journey through practical earth-bound Taurus helping you get rooted again. Meanwhile the newly hatched Moon prepares to enter Leo. You’re reminded that you are the creator of your life.
Sunday June 5th, the Moon makes tense angles with Mercury and Saturn. Look at things seriously.
The 6th through the 8th, the waxing Virgo Moon harmonizes with Venus and Mercury and helps bring order to your life.
June 9th, decorum is the best policy as the Libra Moon opposes Mars and Chiron, both in Aries.
June 11th, expect the unexpected as Venus connects with change-agent Uranus.
June 13th Mercury re-enters its home sign of Gemini a day before the Sagittarian Full Moon. The big picture is revealed! Yet caution and care are required as Mars meets gentle Chiron. You may not get exactly what you want, but you will get something. This delicate reorientation helps you make the right choices, and you may even correct past errors and aggression.
Early morning on June 14th the 23° Sagittarian Full Moon floods us with new information that needs to be integrated. This is upgrade time friends. As always, get grounded and from your place on Earth rise up into Sagittarian wisdom. In a square with spiritual Neptune, and Mars and Chiron conjunct, this Full Moon reminds you to let your egoic-mind rest in order to download possibilities beyond yourself. Ideas that you never thought existed and ones that link you to Universal service.
June 16th, shadows emerge and with their acknowledgement comes liberation. The Moon meets Pluto today and Mars begins to pull away from Chiron.
Early on June 21st, the Sun leaves Gemini for loving Cancer at summer solstice. This sacred occasion shifts the energy inviting the blossoming of summer (here in the northern hemisphere) and the ripening of all things. The Moon, which rules Cancer, meets Jupiter in Aries, encouraging renewal. Venus blows kisses to Pluto. Love is in the air!
The next few days are tender as the Moon connects with wounded healer Chiron and feisty Mars. Stay close to your inner wisdom.
June 22nd, Venus enters Gemini and speeds things up. It’s time to network and connect.
Possible surprises on June 24th when the Moon meets Uranus.
June 25th to 27th the waning Moon travels through Gemini picking up interesting, or distracting, information.
The Cancer New Moon on June 28th is a precious time. Let your desires for home and family center you. Neptune prepares to turn retrograde, Saturn and Pluto are retrograde, but the other celestial bodies are on the move. Consider what state of the heart is best for you at this time of deep seed planting.
The month ends on a fiery Leo Moon in harmony with Jupiter. Have courage. Keep creating, hold your vision. You are not alone.
Remember, you matter, we’re all connected, Earth is our home and love is our destination.
Your friend,
Dulce
Also now known as Eve.
