from the chair

Hi everyone!

We’re still in the throes of the eclipse energy...dancing our way to who knows where...??????

Mum, Dad, when are we getting there? Not too much longer till we feel the benefits of things moving forward. We’ve been living with a lot of retrograde planets this year. The long term retrogrades of Mars and Venus have expanded retrograde energy and really slowed us down. Nothing can escape the cleansing process!

What’s been happening?

For the past two weeks...Mercury in Gemini really added to the New Moon Gemini eclipse energy, producing effects similar to a Mercury Retrograde period. With Venus in Gemini too, it’s added to the hyper activity.

The bottom line? Breakdowns/problems with technology, communication systems of all kinds...phones, faxes, mail. Also mechanical...cars/equipment etc. Nervous energy has been high and possibly overstimulated. Everyone’s been talking their heads off and/or thinking their heads off! Anyone else been having problems sleeping some nights?

This nervous energy is likely to be around for a while yet as we still have the Sun and Venus in Gemini and we’re still under the umbrella of the New Moon in Gemini of 20th May.

From 7th June: Uranus/rebel In Aries (warrior energy) started squaring up to Pluto/dark lord in Capricorn(systems, status quo, government, bureaucracies)

After the beautiful energy of the Venus transit this came in hot on the heels of the rainbow. So if you felt a ‘dip’ in energy, a feeling of being taken back down into the valley, back into the forest, you were probably picking up on this energy. Be assured that the recalibration of us and the earth, both with the eclipses/Pleiadian connection and the Venus transit, is likely to lift us over the coming weeks of intensification of the Uranus/Pluto connection which becomes exact on 24th June.

I will be posting more information on this soon. This aspect will be coming and going with us until 2015. My writing as usual will be everyday ‘speak’!

Meanwhile, today’s writing by Ed Tamplin, astrologer, covers some of this in relation to world issues: http://www.edtamplin.com/weekly%20horoscopes.htm

7th June: Mercury moved into Cancer until 26th June...breaking down the ‘shell’ of protection around our hearts and emotions!

With this influence, nervous systems are likely to settle. Crabs want to protect themselves and run away and hide, or even, like this crab, run backwards and forwards but say nothing. Hmmmm. Mercury in Cancer gives us the opportunity to talk about our heartfelt desires, our EMOTIONS!!! Could be a little scary. A challenge, an opportunity...you choose.

12th June: 3.22 am AEST...Jupiter moves into Gemini for 12 months... time to fly...let’s talk and connect globally!

What’s been happening with the past 12 months whilst Jupiter has been in Taurus:For 12 months, we’ve had Jupiter in Taurus so the focus for expansion has been very much on the material world, building comfort and security on the physical level. Well as we all know, on the global level it has been disturbing as we’ve faced challenges to the status quo economically across the planet. Much of the reaction on the stockmarkets has been fear driven with expectation of doom and gloom causing investors to bail out, resultant losses of massive amounts of money. Currency values have been bobbing up and down like yo-yos.

Everyone seems to have economic heartburn. It may have been difficult to maintain faith in the abundance of the universe.

Like moles in holes we’ve been in and out of the earth, digging and then going to ground, then collapsing in a heap.

Jupiter has been in the earth sign Taurus physically plugging us into Mother Earth. This has really added to the earth energy work we’ve been doing for this past year with Mars/masculine warrior energy in earth sign Virgo till July and Pluto in Capricorn (will be there till 2024) dredging up deeply embedded earth energies, memories, tribal lore etc. We’ve been forced to ground to transmute the density of the earth energies in our bodies. If you’re doing lots of body work, you may have felt heavy as lead at times. Sometimes it may have been hard to get moving.

What’s coming in with Jupiter in Gemini: time to lift off...let your own personal butterfly take you up, up, up to the rainbow!

Gemini likes variety. It’s enjoys smorgasbord rather than a la carte dining. This is the theme for the next 12 months. We’re going to live like butterflies. How many flowers can we visit in the next 12 months? How do we really know who we are until we connect with others, experience the mirroring of where we are spiritually, emotionally, mentally.

Jupiter in Gemini is going to stimulate and expand ideas, communication and co-creation with others and with our own divine self. Gemini energy when evolved has the capacity to connect with the higher spheres, so open hearts and minds, reach for the rainbow and prepare for inspirational guidance!

Be prepared to feel a little bit lighter in energy and not so bogged down by the material world and concerns about physical welfare and financial abundance.

Let’s all be butterflies!!!

12th June: Chiron turns retrograde till November at 10 degrees Pisces...more re-treading of grapes...but the glass of wine at the end will be worth it!

Chiron will be joining Neptune as they both retrograde in Pisces. It’s all about healing making sure we’ve really fully completed the healing work we’ve been doing these past four months. Retrograde periods offer clarity and insight on issues that have been a little difficult to resolve.

With Neptune and Chiron both travelling retrograde in Pisces deep spiritual healing is available for both the individual and the collective unconscious. We’re checking to see that our wounds are healing and preparing to close the open wounds we’ve been dealing with these past months.

Somewhere there is Morningtown many miles away’

Upcoming Dates:

20th June: New Moon in Gemini

21st June: Sun moves into Cancer – Winter solstice/Summer solstice...a turning point for the better

24th June: Saturn direct in Libra...this will be a relief as we finally start to see the benefits of all our inner work...time for outer progress

27th June: Mercury moves into Leo until 1st September

28th June: Venus moves direct in Gemini

There’s so much happening this month, I’ll try to break it down into smaller pieces...very Gemini...tapas anyone??? Let’s all lighten up as much as possible.

Love and blessings to all my fellow travellers...in the time machine!
