Hi everyone!
Whew! That was a big shift through the Solstice doorway followed by the New
Moon in Cancer. This year’s Solstice energies were big and transformational and
unmistakably carrying us into a whole new focus and pathway. Our boats on the
shoreline under the Cancer Sun are awaiting the change of tides to carry us back
out to sea. Meanwhile we rest and recover!
New information coming with Mars and Mercury return to
earth:
We don’t know what new pathway lies ahead yet, but thanks to Mercury and
Mars flying out of bounds gathering new information in cosmic consciousness,
more is about to be revealed. They are coming back to earth this week so we
need to stay open to what comes in when they return, bringing in new
possibilities waiting to be translated to the earthly realm.
Maintaining inner and outer stability in our personal
lives:
Our immediate concern is getting ourselves
feeling settled and secure within ourselves and our ‘homes’ as a point of
stability for lifting off with fired creativity. We’re getting the directions
which will be fired up at the New Moon in Leo at the end of July.
This time will be well spent in anchoring our personal selves to the
feeling of spiritual security so we can weather the changes in climate.
New creative impetus coming in July/August: 2 New Moons in
Leo!
We have two New Moons in Leo this year which is
unusual but definitely gives extra impetus to the Leo energies reinforcing the
planetary North Node till the end of next year. The second new moon is a Solar
Eclipse!
Sandwiched between the 2 New Moons in Leo is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in
Aquarius offering a starry inner release of emotions!
9th July: Full Moon in Capricorn...clearing the
old structures and limitations from our lives!
As we move towards the powerful full moon on 9th
July we need to put ourselves on a stable footing in our personal lives as the
global forces continue to be challenged. We’re dealing with issues of emotional
security, home, homeland and family as we take the pathway forward to what
promises to be a humungous letting go energy at the Full Moon in Capricorn on
9th July.
The social, political and economic forces are acting upon all of us one way
or another so we need to reaffirm our own personal sense of security finding
refuge in higher, more elevated consciousness. We are creating our new world
energetically all the time and we need to believe in ourselves and our own
power.
What’s been happening:
This past week
25th to 28th June:
Mars then Mercury connecting with
Sirius in flowing trine to Neptune opening body/mind
consciousness!
The star Sirius, the brightest
fixed star in our skies, esoteric home to the ascended masters, revered by the
ancients as the sun of our sun has been offering fortunate vibes in these past
few days. It's known as 'the blue star' and the 'dog star'. First Mars and then Mercury hit the same degree of 14
in Cancer, both still travelling ‘out of bounds’ gathering cosmic consciousness.
Big
shift emotionally and physically as Mars, ruler of our
fire, drive and physical body met with Sirius as he connected with the higher
spiritual consciousness of Neptune in Pisces. Mars has been sitting on 14
degrees Cancer and Neptune is at 14 degrees Pisces.
Big shift mentally as Mercury, manager of our mental body also joined with Sirius at 14 degrees Cancer from 27th to 28th June. Mindsets are releasing and our mental consciousness is evolving. Messages pouring in from the cosmic forces guiding us every step of the way. More clarity when Mercury returns to earth on 2nd July.
We're climbing out of the
muddy waters of oppression carried in our minds, bodies and spirits from the
time when power became 'power over' and experiencing a higher consciousness of
divine love in our minds and bodies. This energy would also be shifting our
fire and drive, giving us access to a renewal of life force. The urge to rest,
recover and regenerate is strong at this time after last week’s energies.
Have a look to the star
tonight, if there's a clear sky and put out a wish. Believing in ourselves and
our wishes takes focus, dedication and commitment. I feel the tide is turning on
the planet for the good of humanity just as the pack of cards of the old order
is collapsing around us.

What’s coming in:
Mars and Mercury returning from ‘out of bounds’:
The Mars and Mercury alignment with Neptune and the reboot of these
energies with Sirius has been preparing the way for both of these planets to
return from their cosmic journey. It was like the last shift while they’re
outside our mundane world. We will be discovering in the next week how our
mental and physical bodies have been upgraded. Just remember to allow time for
rebalancing of our energies after their return. We may feel a little out of
whack for a day or two.
29th June:
Mars returns from
his out of bounds journey at 16 degrees 21 Cancer
Are
we ready? Open to receiving a fresh burst of life force, fire, drive and
physical energy!
Coming
down to earth filled with new energies and possibilities which have been
developing within as Mars travelled the cosmos. What will emerge from within as
he returns to earth has yet to be revealed as Mars accustoms himself to the
earthly dimension once more.
New information, new start!
What
is interesting is his return just a few days after the New Moon, after meeting
with Mercury, mind manager the day before and after connecting in a positive,
flowing energy with the higher emotional and spiritual octaves of Neptune from
26th to 28th June.
Take
time to balance and realign:
He’s
filled and infused with a new energy and focus which needs to acclimatise to his
return to earth, to find his feet as he may well feel a little wobbly until he
re-aligns to with the earth element.
Pay
attention to emotional security issues and allow Mars to align with those
needs:
Mars
is our masculine fire and drive energy and he’s not comfortable in watery,
emotional Cancer so it may feel a little bit frustrating if the fire is up and
ready to ‘make things happen’. We may need to contain the physical desire to
take action until it’s aligned with our sense of emotional security. This is a
high priority at this time as we need to ensure our ongoing movement without any
further trauma or destabilisation. The Sabian Symbol for Mars return says it
all!

17 THE SEED GROWS
INTO KNOWLEDGE AND LIFE
This Symbol shows situations pregnant with
meaning and significance. Something starts with a seed and grows until it
becomes something reliable and strong. Sometimes, you may feel that you are not
growing or developing properly, maybe dissatisfied at perceived failings. Things
take time to develop and, rather than being rushed, need to be nurtured to
develop. It is important to start small and grow, fertilizing and watering in
order for things to grow and flourish. Remember that small and steady beginnings
can lead to a beautiful flowering. This can indicate pregnancy or the inception
of a new idea. Warning against grabbing for the fast dollar. Pregnancy,
childbirth and growing up. Embryonic cells. The giving and receiving of lessons.
The Kabala. The Tree of Life.
1st July: Chiron turns retrograde at 28 degrees 52
Pisces
Old wounds released!
Until 5th December
Dream messages continue to guide
us:
Since Neptune turned retrograde in Pisces you may have been having amazing
dreams as messages surface from deep within our subconscious. Maybe you’ve had
nightmares releasing fears. However, it seems that the dreams now rolling in
are offering upliftment and elevated energies which inspire and encourage. This
may give you a sense of what will happen with Chiron’s retrograde journey
through Pisces.
Healing and resolving deep spiritual wounds in a whole new
light:
With the amount of clearance we’ve been doing as an ongoing commitment,
we’re likely to experience a release of those resistant wounds which seem to
have eluded all processes for too long. You know the ones I’m talking about.
The ones which keep turning up in a different form or guise for us to
acknowledge, feel and release over and over again.
Ongoing healing resolution: Letting it out and letting it go is
the key!
Into the retrograde labyrinth as Chiron takes us deep within our bodies to
uncover and reveal the spiritual and emotional ‘wounds’ held within the physical
vessel. Chiron is regarded as one of the rulers of Virgo, sign of the healer
and healing. It’s spiritual, emotional and physical.
If strange pains emerge from the body or strange ‘marks’ just trust that
the healing is taking place as these ‘memories’ surface and manifest in a
variety of ways. Chains of slavery? Going...gone!
I like the Sabian Symbol for Chiron’s entry into retrograde because that
echoes what I’m feeling about this next 5 months. That symbol becomes the theme
tune for this retrograde journey.

LIGHT BREAKING INTO MANY COLORS AS IT PASSES
THROUGH A PRISM
This shows analyzing things, considering and
drawing conclusions from available data and being perceptive of colors, light
refraction or reflection, auras and light. You probably have the ability to
break situations down into the simplest components in order to see the full
picture. This can and often does lead to a greater understanding of the
relationship between the whole and the many parts. Just be careful not to
overanalyze, thereby losing the joy that's inherent in the simplicities of life.
Taking a single vision and turning it into many individual streams can be
rewarding, but it can also confuse and distract. Spectrum analysis. Color and
crystal healing. Rainbows. Light refraction. Considering many facets of a
situation. Optics. Sight. Telescopes. Microscopes. Auras. Copying ideas.
2nd July:
Mercury returns from ‘out of bounds’ at 22
degrees 22 Cancer
Time to access all that new information:
Mercury is an air energy which has been off the planet connecting us to
energies beyond our knowledge. We’ve been gathering all manner of information
which has been out of our reach until now when the ruler of our mental body
returns to the earth dimension.
We’re walking on water as Mercury returns: A little floaty and
feeling disembodied for a while!
As we come into land we find we’re on the beach with all the Cancer energy,
not necessarily the most comfortable place for Mercury who likes to fly! Maybe
just bring our mental energies into alignment with our physical existence with a
walk on the beach where we can ground the flightiness and ‘losing our minds’
syndrome.
It’s ground zero:
Clarity is restoring as we find ourselves at ground zero...the starting
point for a whole new direction!
From 2nd to 6th July: Getting used to the new ideas and creating
some blueprints for lift off on 6th!
It’s only a few days before Mercury moves on from Cancer on 6th July when
he enters the fire sign of Leo. That’s when we’ll really lift off...fire and
air guaranteed to ignite! This will be in the light of the New Moon on 9th July
so the fire energy will help us burn through those old emotional energies of
fear, doubt and insecurity as the will to express ourselves becomes the greater
force than dissolution into the collapsing structures of the Full Moon energies.
The Sabian Symbol for Mercury’s re-entry suggests the way our minds may be
working as we come back to life.

THE MEETING OF A STUDY GROUP OR LITERARY
SOCIETY
This Symbol shows the necessity of gathering
together with those of like mind in order to exchange or share ideas and
information. In society, the search for meaning should always be made in order
to enrich not only yourself but those around you. Finding the best way to
describe something creates the opportunity for greater access by the collective.
This can show websites, magazines, newspapers, books; any place that people
gather together in order to give an objective view of what’s happening in the
culture in order to gain a better understanding of what makes society tick.
Shared knowledge. Print media, newspapers, libraries, written word. Critics.
Diaries, records and minutes of meetings. Talk back radio. Discussions. Letters
to the editor.

Hugs all around!
We are family and we are building our energies for the upcoming changes on
the astrological calendar. Next week we have Venus and Mercury heart and head
energies changing signs so we are shifting gears into a whole new mode of
operation.
They promise to take us to a lighter place in our hearts and minds which
will strengthen optimism, sense of fun and creativity which in turn will provide
great support as we move towards what promises to be a huge Full Moon in
Capricorn on 9th June.
As always, love and blessings to us all as maintain focus, dedication and
commitment to the power of the light and the power of our divine pathway forward
as our intensity grows with the awakening and gathering of the masses.

It’s all about love
Divine reunion with the stars
This
Symbol shows the ability, or the need, of plowing on through cold or difficult
times by facing up to difficulties with a brave attitude and a determination to
get through them. By adapting to changing needs and constantly aware of
difficulties, success can be achieved. You probably need to persevere and
progress slowly. There is really no possibility of stopping or slowing down too
much as the situation could freeze-up. You may be surprised by "icy" feelings
and cold responses. Although you have the natural elements to help, it is more a
time of struggling through unusual difficulties than trying to create a
particular appearance. Using animal instincts to get through tough times. Facing
bad weather and hardship. Following the leader without knowing where one is
going. Unfamiliar surroundings.
