Hi
everyone!
We’re on the rainbow road to unification and harmony!!!
We’re on a new stretch of roadway, the scenery’s changed even if you don’t know
it!
We’re through the second New Moon in Gemini, the mid year
solstice and now the Sun’s in Cancer. Cancer rules home, family and is aligned
to the divine mother.
Like Dorothy we’re headed home to our own personal
Kansas!
Hoping you all felt a positive shift in energies as we
moved out of the eclipse vortex of the past four weeks. It feels like fear
shifting from us, from the world.
What’s going to come out of this change period is yet to
manifest in mind, heart and our physical existence.
24th June 7.00 PM AEST:
Uranus and Pluto square off to each other...the fiery individual challenges the
power base of the status quo, ‘the establishment’.
This energy has been building and intensifying over the
past couple of weeks. You may have felt it at the personal level with inner
challenges and fighting with yourself, within personal relationships as well as
experiencing the transpersonal, global challenges.
This energy is with us until about 10th July. However, it
comes exact on 24th June when things will come to a head.
On the transpersonal/global level:
We had this influence last year and it’s not going away as it
comes and goes until 2015. Last year we saw it manifesting in the London
riots. The ‘occupy’ movement is likely to raise its head again. This is a big
picture energy where radical individualism rises up and challenges the
conservatism of our world. Whatever happens is likely to happen unexpectedly
and quickly.
Uranus, the wild eccentric punk....in Aries sign of the
individualist, the warrior
Uranus rules the unexpected, lightning strike changes,
leading edge innovative thinking.
Pluto, the Goth...Lord of the Underworld...in Capricorn, sign of the
establishment, status quo, systems, governments, bureaucracies, old order
Pluto rules deeply embedded energies in the collective
psyche as well as the earth.
Pluto rules big money, stockmarkets, big money
players/billionaires.
Pluto rules deep transformation, death,
rebirth.
Yes, political sparring is very likely...old order vs new
order
Yes, economic systems and belief systems are being
challenged
Yes, war, conflict and violence are in the picture here as
the possible expression of this energy
Yes, earth activity is possible as Pluto rules all
energies within the earth...mining, oil, submerged emotions
Yes, bureaucracies, governments, stockmarkets, big
business and big money movers are challenging and being challenged
On the
personal level...breaking down/breaking through: We’ve heard so much
about shifting consciousness. These two slow moving planets challenging each
other are the kind of dramatic energies that have the capacity to bring about
huge changes and shifts in consciousness across the collective, waking people up
and changing their thinking seemingly instantly. The
transpersonal/global energies are impacting on and changing our lives and the
way we live them.
On the personal
level, it promises breakdowns and thus breakthroughs into new ways of
operating! The Tower card in the Tarot says it all...the collapse of
consciousness which is preventing growth and expansion. It doesn’t have to be
disastrous. It can be just like falling in love!
How are you likely to
change?
Is it safe to come out of that burrow???
When the boxing match is on you need to be aware of the
fight or flight syndrome! Rabbits know all about facing danger – frozen in fear
or running to safety!
Us humans tend to the reptilian mind behaviours of rabbit
behaviour or fighting!
Well the current connection between Uranus and Pluto will
likely challenge and shift our previous programmed behaviour with respect to
challenge. Old patterns and behaviours have the potential to just fall away with
dramatic suddenness.
If you’re stuck in fighting mode, it’s possible you might
hang up the gloves!
If you tend to run away, you might find yourself standing
your ground, taking your power! This is not fighting!
If you get frozen with fear, the fears may just melt away
as the illusions are exposed and love is embraced!
Taking our power:
So how do we manage ourselves in these challenging energies? Do we join
the fight, take flight??
Or maybe we’ve learnt to
stand our ground and defend without aggression.
The challenge is keeping an
open heart to ourselves, others and the world whilst holding our spiritual
essences, truth and power.
From Elsa Elsa
astrologer: Uranus and Pluto in hard aspect will bring intense
(Pluto) upheaval (Uranus) which is not always negative. Here's an example of
what I mean:
Sudden, unexpected (Uranus) endings
(Pluto). This could be as drastic as a death, but it may also bring the
end to your personal poverty of whatever kind.
You may be liberated (Uranus) from oppressive
pathology (Pluto in Capricorn), which leaves you unexpectedly and suddenly
(Uranus) empowered (Pluto).
The commonality here is that this stuff is jarring,
but sometimes that's what it takes. If you do suffer a loss this week, ask
yourself how the loss (Pluto) has freed you (Uranus) because I bet you'll be
able to identify something.

The next time we feel this challenge will be in September this
year.
This is what we’ve been waiting for...some significant movement FORWARD!!!
You’re likely to notice a big shift from hereon, as after months of retrograding planets we now have the planets which drive us along and help us get our projects grounded, moving forward!!!
25th June: Saturn direct in Libra 22 degrees
6.00 pm AEST..we finally start to see
the benefits of all our inner work and our new
foundations!
It’s time to start building on the foundations of projects,
possibilities which have been held in abeyance. It’s time for outer progress in
the physical world. It’s time to step up and take your
authority!!!
While Saturn’s been retrograde since early February, we’ve been in a
holding pattern, developing, building. reworking ideas and potential. This
isn’t just about the working world, it could apply to your identity, family,
relationships, health. We’ve been back at the drawing board, refining and
polishing whatever has been the focus. Saturn makes sure all the foundations
are solid and reliable.
We need Saturn moving forward for manifesting in the physical realm.
Saturn leads us to often challenging learning at a soul level which eventually
takes us to taking our authority in the world and the expression of our essence,
our authentic self. That’s Saturn’s brief.
What’s my
strength?: The question is for us to recognise our field of
expertise and mastery at this time. What have you been mastering during these
past months? What has been your greatest challenge and greatest area of
learning?
Take a bow: Saturn teaches us that by respecting
ourselves we take our authority and find respect in the world. We honour our
unique strengths and knowledge and share them with the wider world. If we
assume arrogance, be sure Saturn will teach us the lesson of humility...the
hallmark of mastery!!!
This mastery energy will really tie in with the Venus energy
regarding passion (see below). Expertise and passion...how can we go
wrong!
On Saturn going direct: http://www.evolvingdoor.ca/lowdown/current/lowdowncurrent.htm
For up to a week before and after this date, Saturn’s energy is
especially intense and strong. You might experience this as physical or mental
heaviness or sluggishness. You might find you have to "get real" with some
responsibilities, or make some difficult decisions. This can be a turning point
in long-term projects and plans that you've been developing over the last 5
months or so. Or, you may start to deal differently with old limitations, either
finding ways to move beyond them or finding ways to make peace with them. If
you’re dealing with closure or endings in some area of your life, this could be
a time when you can finally start to let go and move forward.
26th June: Mercury moves
into Leo 12.20 pm AEST until 1st September...happy, happy day! Fun and games!
Passion ignites the mind!
Leo rules fun, romance, creativity and children. It’s ruled by the
Sun, which represents who we are in the outer world...our physical
manifestation, how we present to others. Leo is fire energy, so prepared to
have your mind and heart fired with creative possibilities.
What’s been happening: We’ve had Mercury in
Cancer which has been giving a focus to communicating about emotions, getting in
touch with emotions and with interactions with and focus on family, childhood,
memories, mother energy. Sometimes, with Cancer energy, it can feel like you’re
drowning in emotions and the past. So, it’s a welcome relief to get a reprieve
when Mercury moves into Leo.
Leo is also
about entertaiment, show business, the lighter side of love...romance! All that
tapdancing we did through the eclipse period is going to pay off!
We’re ready to join the chorus line of
life!!!
28th
June: Venus moves direct in Gemini 7 degrees at 11.06 am AEST...refreshed and
renewed out of the retrograde carwash!!! Passion returns!
We’ve been in
the Venus retrograde carwash since 1st June, cleansing, purifying, polishing,
releasing all the grime around our heart energy. We’ve been re-evaluating,
reviewing, getting in touch with the truth o.f our heart and what we truly
desire, as well as our unique and particular talents and abilities.
The grime comes off and the heart can ‘see’ clearly. Venus rules
love, harmony, beauty, personal and physical resources including talents as well
as values and...money!
Venus encapsulates the saying ‘do what you love and the money will
follow’. Of course, we need to hold the energies of self-belief, faith in our
‘truth’ and fulfilment and rock like faith about our entitlement to an abundant
life...our needs being fulfilled whether physically, emotionally or
spiritually.
Have we reached a new clarity about who we are now and what we really
can contribute to the world and to our own wellbeing? Have you been enlightened
about the nature of your unique gifts and talents and what’s important for you
to sustain love and wellbeing in your life?
Passion
pays off: You can have all the ideas in the world but without the
emotional energy to drive them, they fall by the wayside. The emotional energy
comes from what excites us and that comes from the heart.
The heart doesn’t lie! You can drive yourself to stay on the
treadmill of beliefs that hold you back from accessing ease and grace, the path
of heart...or you can start tuning into the heart and building dreams that come
from from your true self. It mightn’t happen overnight. It’s a process that
requires holding the vision and moving step to step towards it as we clear
aspects from our past conditioning and memory.
