Hi everyone!
We’re flying under the Gemini Sun seemingly caught in the crossfire of the
Grand Cross which has been with us for some weeks. The rainbow of unification
is calling us on as we travel through the mists of time and karma. It hasn’t
been an easy few weeks, we could say months or years. However, this week things
are really coming to a head, a major shift which we’ve already been experiencing
big time.
I’ve been unable to write or do anything these past weeks except rest,
meditate and heal with the Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo and Pisces energies all
heavily impacting me. Definitely the pinball in the pinball machine. It’s only
now at this moment I am able to reconnect with the words to write to you.
Yes, everyone’s feeling the impact in different ways. The ‘overwhelm’ has
hit many of us quite hard. Much depends on your karmic ‘brief’ this lifetime
and depends on when those energies kick in and activate your planets and
aspects.
Karmic release and evolution of consciousness: The rainbow calls
us to unity!
However, we are all experiencing the effects of the Grand Cross. In
particular, the Saturn/Neptune square along with Jupiter in Virgo as part of
this T-square is activating the release of karmic wounds, burdens, pains,
history and contracts. World events are playing their part in calling us to a
higher order of love, forgiveness, mercy and compassion whilst triggering cell
memories and ancestral DNA for release and evolution.
Call to love: Reactions and responses to these events are
indicative of shifts
which are happening in the human psyche. The responses of
the ‘gay’ community to the Orlando massacre have been universally focussed on
responding with love. The response of Jo Cox’s husband to her murder in England
has called for going forward with the ideals of Jo Cox for unification,
humanity, compassion and love. It’s our choice how we react and respond to world
affairs. We’re a work in progress!
On your knees:
5th June to 6th July: Saturn square Neptune
Exact on 18th June
This aspect has been strongly affecting us over
the past weeks and through this Full Moon. If you’ve been feeling exhausted,
grief laden, heavy hearted, heavy in the physical body then you are likely
feeling these energies very strongly.
Neptune in Pisces is about sacrifice and surrender, raising our spirits to
a more evolved consciousness. Saturn is the Lord of Karma calling us to keep
going with the spiritual work we have taken on.
Interestingly, Saturn rules joints, knees and skeletal system so you may
well have been feeling these energies in these areas. Knees call us to
surrender to a more evolved consciousness and divine truth.
Anything that is
not aligned with our divine selves, our ‘truth’ has been rising up out of our
bodies and out of the earth herself. Jupiter has been a major player in the
Saturn/Neptune connection, expanding our abilities and potential for amazing
healing as he travels through Virgo, the sign of the healer. Virgo purifies us
of energies not aligned with our lifetime now and thus strengthens our sense of
self and our clarity and understanding about our higher ‘calling’. We are not
clear on this when we are carrying the memories and overlays of old belief
systems, social and familial conditioning and other realities.
The Full Moon is a huge culmination, release and turning point for all this
karmic release. The Sun to Cancer/June Solstice follows on.
What’s been happening: 13th to 19th
June
This is just a catch up for changes happening during the last week. As I
said above, I was unable to get out an update with these planetary shifts so I’m
giving a shortened version here. The Full Moon is affecting us now and the
dominant energy for the upcoming week along with the Sun’s entry into Cancer,
Solstice.
13th June: Mercury moved into Gemini at 9.22 am
AEST
Until 30th June
Rebalancing the mind:
Right/left brain, masculine/feminine...going
for a win/win!
Mercury leaving Taurus left us somewhat purified and cleansed of old cell
memories carrying mindsets, beliefs and values of other times. It was a
mind/body upgrade. What was the outcome? Mercury in Gemini is our indicator of
progress. Mercury’s move to Gemini presents opportunities to realise how far
we’ve come in the mind cleansing process.
Mercury in Gemini: A balanced mental energy and alignment with our
truth and clarity!
Here’s the trial run of our mental energy to discover our capacity for
holding the balance, knowing when to act and when to be still. Not an easy
energy with Mercury in Gemini which wants to lift off like these birds in the
picture to the left. Mercury wants to stretch his mind muscles and the wings of
the mind.
Love and acceptance of self: A balanced mind is the divine mind,
higher consciousness!
Gemini is the sign of the twins, the lovers, the masculine/feminine balance
within and without. A strong mind focussed on unification and love is an asset
which will help with the Venus in Cancer memory triggers and any emotional
turmoil. Get back to the mind during this time with an alignment with divine
will and the heart will align.
14th June: Neptune stationed retrograde at 12 degrees
02 Pisces at 6.42 am AEST
Retrograde until 19th/20th November
Major spiritual expansion:
An inner
upliftment to raise the spirits!
All retrograde journeys offer an acceleration of our spiritual growth and
expansion. It’s all happening within, undercover until the planet re-emerges
from retrograde.
With Neptune in its own sign of Pisces, the sign of higher emotional
consciousness, it will be interesting to see how this plays out in ourselves as
well as the wider world. Pisces rules the collective unconscious so I imagine
there’ll be plenty of release of some of the denser energies from us all.
Plenty of lost souls seeking resolution:
Watch out for those lost souls in the ether who
are seeking the light. It is often more noticeable at night or in a rest state
when ‘sensitives’ experience strange sensations on the skin and/or head/hair,
maybe call it ‘crawling skin’ syndrome. Can feel like something crawling on your
head/hair. Nothing there it seems. We can provide a light source away from
us. Just visualise a light column where they can go. We need to work with the
energies and as ‘we are one’ we need to manage these energies. This is part of
our mastering our energies and working within the realm of the unseen. We’re
strengthening and evolving all the time.
18th June: Venus
moved into Cancer at 5.38 am AEST
Home is the heart!
Until 12th August
Where do I ‘fit’, belong: Coming home
to ourselves!
Cancer is the sign of home, family, ancestors
and belonging. Interesting that she’s in this sign as we go into the Full moon
energies. She brings in the desire for a ‘home’, a sense of family and a sense
of ‘belonging’.
Nurturing and nourishment: Do what comforts and soothes, nourishes
Cancer is the sign of the divine mother and the divine feminine. It’s
about nurturing and nurturing ourselves with our inner mother holding us. The
inner child who brings up fears, doubts and insecurities requires our awareness
to attend to that child, to soothe and comfort, to reassure. More often when
we’re feeling ill at ease, any discomfort. we can trace it back to the child.
Memories, the past and the ancestral connections:
Ruled by the moon, planets travelling through Cancer bring up memories and
the past. This doesn’t have to be challenging in any way unless we have
unresolved memories. Of course at the Full Moon when it is most powerful we are
more likely to re-experience the past. That is the time when the unconscious is
revealed to us whether emotionally, mentally, physically or spiritually. Dreams
and dream states often uncover such memories which will assist us in reclaiming
lost aspects, memories and parts of ourselves. This can be a great time of
reclamation if we allow ourselves to open our hearts to ourselves.
20th June: Full Moon in Sagittarius
at 29 degrees 33 Sagittarius at 9.02 pm AEST
This is a biggie! Here’s why:
The last degree of Sagittarius: Powerful
culmination!
The Full Moon is sitting on the last degree of Sagittarius opposite the Sun
in Gemini.
The last degree is a culminating point in itself even without the Full Moon
which is always about culmination and something coming to a head, coming to
closure. Let go!
It’s a Blue Moon: Double the impact, double the message of
Sagittarius!
On top of that this is the second full moon in Sagittarius in a month,
what’s become known as a Blue moon. It’s like a Sagittarian double whammy.
Truth will out!
The Full Moon on the Galactic Centre: It’s a galactic experience!
The Galactic Centre, a black hole known as ‘Sun of our Sun’ is still in
many ways an unknown quantity with respect to impact on astrology. However, we
do know that when this point is activated by a planetary body that a major shift
is underway.
Healing insights, power and possible solutions:
The major shift likely to occur with this Full Moon will be revelations and
insights brought forth from the unconscious with a broader impact across
society. How that will play out physically cannot be predicted but with Chiron,
the healing agent squaring off to the Moon and the Sun, there’s likely to be a
focus on healing the collective unconscious. I wouldn’t be surprised if new
discoveries around health and medicinal ‘cures’ emerge from this whole set up as
the Galactic Centre gives access to knowledge beyond our present understanding.
It may happen at the personal level first. But then again, with Sagittarius and
Gemini communicators and educators involved it could be broadcast central.
Mercury adds to the energy of the Grand Cross crossroads
event:
At this Full Moon Mercury will be connecting with the Asteroid Vesta the
spiritual flame sitting in Gemini opposite Saturn in Sagittarius with both
squaring off to Jupiter/North Node in Virgo and Neptune/South Node in Pisces.
It’s a massive shift for all: A turning point for
change!
With the Nodes involved we know it’s a mass evolution of consciousness.
Saturn and Jupiter are the planets which are shifting societal values and
attitudes, releasing karmic bonds with the past from within our physical bodies.
The North Node is our evolutionary focus for the planet at this time and it’s
aligned with Jupiter in Virgo at this time. Jupiter is expansive and Virgo is
healing, the physical and divine direction, our ‘calling’.
Visions and messages: Open hearts and minds to see and
hear!
Neptune’s resolving and uplifting emotions and embedded emotional energies
in the collective unconscious, taking us to new vistas and bringing new visions
of life beyond our current thinking and patterns.
Mercury the messenger and Vesta the spiritual flame both in Mercury’s sign
Gemini have the potential to take us to the heart centre of our magnetic north,
our spiritual direction offering growth and expansion. Stay tuned for
messages!
Power pack connection between Mars and Uranus/Eris/Ceres: An
awakening and transformation of the masculine and the physical
body!
Mars in Scorpio and Uranus joining with Eris and Ceres in Aries are having
a connection, all on 23 degrees.
Mars is ruler of our physical body and our masculine energy. Mars is
already on 23 degrees ready to turn retrograde on 30th June. Being so still he
carries more intensity and power during this time so the focus on the physical
body and the masculine fire and drive is held in stillness while the
transformation and transmutation is completed.
From
Stephanie Azaria: Mars, Uranus, Eris and Ceres
Cosmic
Consciousness Daily 20th June
Mars
to Uranus Eris speaks
to the ways in which we are working with our physical bodies or our newfound
energies, especially as it
relates to the new consciousness. Any physical ailment that pops up now is a
message from your body, enlightening you to what needs your attention the
most.
While we're on the subject of Uranus Eris,
this seems the perfect moment to mention that Ceres,
the Great Inner midwife archetype, reaches Uranus and Eris today, and
she will be with the two Great Awakeners all week long. The best way to
interpret this transit is to recognize that the time has come for each and every
one of us to be reborn into the new consciousness in
earnest.
Sabian Symbols for all the planets at the Full Moon in Sagittarius
from Lynda Hill:
The
Full Moon at Sagittarius 30
THE POPE BLESSING THE FAITHFUL
This Symbol shows being present, on-board
and ‘there’ for people when they need it. The “Pope” instills hope and a sense
of wonder; he is said to be a representative of God on earth. Blessings come
from worshipping a higher power with people of like mind. This shows that people
will dispense rewards upon those who are eager to receive from them. This often
shows a spokesperson that will be heard by everyone. Show respect and reverence
to others, as this will lead to rewards of their own. This can show someone
having a powerful memory; they remember the faces and names of people and often
have a powerful presence and charisma. Rituals. Someone high up acknowledging
and rewarding. Rewards of loyalty. Bonuses. The source of enormous inner riches.
Power and its responsibility. Seeking absolution.
The Caution: Sublimating political ritual. Lust for power. Negating, projecting and transferring one's shadow. Not taking responsibility. Jealousy of those with power. Disrespect.

A PARADE OF BATHING BEAUTIES BEFORE LARGE
BEACH CROWDS
This Symbol shows how society appreciates
and acknowledges beauty and glamour. It is often important to put on your best
face and apparel and to present your self with confidence. Be aware that some
are getting a lot of attention and there is a potential audience. There may be a
feeling of only being appreciated for one’s superficial attributes and values
without appreciation of the deeper layers of one’s persona. Displays of beauty
and physical fitness can bring joy and wonder, or jealousy and derision, so you
may need to be careful of what's being revealed and who it is revealed to.
Making superficial judgments. Being on show. Sheer attraction of beauty
appreciated. Seeking praise. Bathing costumes and skimpy clothing. The mystery
of glamour.
The Caution: Using superficialities to falsely win support. Giving importance to appearance and neglecting the "beauty within". Too much makeup. Flaunting one’s body.

From Cathy Pagano: Sagittarius Full Moon
Always good value and insightful. Love her words about current state of
events and about America’s current changes.
21st June: Sun moves into Cancer at
8.34 am AEST...home is where the heart is! Solstice!
Until 22nd July
Sun moves into Cancer, June solstice
within hours of the Full Moon:
Power of the solstice energies adding to this Full
Moon!
The June solstice is a powerful time when we have the meeting of heaven and
earth, where traditional beliefs consider it’s a day where the walls and
barriers to the other dimensions are freed with greater opportunities to connect
with energies beyond our physical world. The Full Moon always offers this kind
of experience as it opens up our inner consciousness and dream world.
Welcome home!
For the next solar month our focus is on the emotional security that comes
from feeling at home, with ourselves and with our environment. The connection
with ‘family’ with kindred spirits is sought and strengthened during this time.
Be kind loving and giving to yourself during this
time:
Comfort, nurturing and unconditional love are front and centre as strong
needs when we travel through territory of the divine mother. And with the
current energies pulling on us so strongly there may not be as much giving power
for others.

Upcoming Dates:

4th July: New Moon in Cancer
Well folks, that’s it!
When these big world events which take lives
happen, they open our hearts. We are tribal beings and carry the memories of
this and other lives on the planet so we re-experience the grief, pain,
oppression. suppression and repression suffered in other times. The life or
lives which are taken by physical death release the memories from within us
which have been deeply buried. I feel that all lives which complete physically
take something with them which releases some of these buried memories. I feel
animals do the same. They release pain, grief, suffering from us as we feel the
heartache of loss. This is just my perception.
So now we’re headed into the end of June and the movement of Mars forward
on 30th June after months of retrograde energy holding back our fire, drive and
physical energy. Mars is already slowing readying to move forward on the 30th
so his energy is intensified...as though we didn’t have intensity! He’s on 23
degrees Scorpio and will hold that degree until about 11th July. So holding
steady for a bit longer yet.
The next big lunar event is the New Moon in Cancer on 4th July at 12
degrees Cancer. That looks to be quite a homecoming for us all and a breathing
space from some of the nervous tension, agitation, heaviness of the Grand
Cross. Mind you, the Saturn/Neptune square is with us for the next few months
so ongoing karmic release and spiritual upliftment. Hopefully with a little
less intensity as the Grand Cross breaks away.
As always, love and blessings to all and hugs if you’re feeling the
loneliness of the long distance runner. Yes, we need to do it for ourselves but
we are never alone. We are held by the energies of all those who are esoteric
family both in this and other dimensions.
