Hi everyone!
Here we are post solstice
and the Super Moon Full Moon in Capricorn. How did you ride it out?
What happened:
The energies coming in at the solstice were immense, releasing so much
old planetary energy on the solstice and days following, through to the Full
Moon.
The photo to the left was
taken by a friend Janeese Brinkman-Serbinofski when the moon was at its perigee,
closest to the earth, about half an hour before the moon came to fullness. I
love the pink shade of this one!
From Melbourne,
Australia. Thanks Janeese.

others can be seen at the following link:
Where’s my family and
where do I belong???? Call it in!
So here we are under the
Cancerian Sun looking for that sense of belonging, like little crabs ready to
run across the shore with our ‘family’!
What dangers are we
facing? Are we ready to be vulnerable and open to our emotions? Are we ready
to dispel our fears and insecurities and doubts? Are we going to avoid, deny,
run away, go into our shells or hide under a rock?
What’s been happening: Bowled over! ...by the waves of
change!
It’s been a
watershed, a line in the sand demarcating one life to
another!
If you didn’t feel bowled
over by the solstice and the Full Moon/Super Moon in Capricorn, I’d be amazed.
Everyone is different with a different ‘brief’ and at a different stage of
evolution even though we’re all ‘in the same boat’ so to speak.
The main theme of this
last week has been ‘LETTING GO’...emotional baggage from the physical, mental,
emotional and astral bodies AND from the planetary energies which so many of us
have been cleansing and clearing for a long time.
To ‘bowl over’ origin:
Astonish, surprise greatly, overwhelm, as in I
was simply bowled over by their wonderful performance.
This term originated in cricket, where it means “to
knock all the bails off the wicket.” [Mid-1800s]
We’re all different:
Well, the bails truly were knocked off the wicket! Nothing less
was required than absolute surrender to the forces of change, riding the
energies as best we could. How and where it ’hit’ may not be immediately evident. It may
have been in the physical body, the mind set/beliefs, the emotions. Be assured,
that whatever challenges came up and are continuing to take your attention, are
healing your spirit to move on. It is all spiritual.
Releasing memories: Many of us are working with
physical challenges in our body, memories held in our cells and genetic
composition, memories from this as well as other dimensions/past lives, memories
carried over from our ancestral tradition. Whatever we’re doing, our soul chose
to do this for our evolution, the evolution of our earthly life and evolution of
all the earth and her peoples.
Our brief is particular and peculiar to our patterns of existence
we are evolving this lifetime. It is no accident, however, that so many are
evolving the consciousness of the same energies...such as oppression, freedom,
equity, abundance for all on the planet. These are some of the dominant themes
we are resolving as we come in to divine love and truth.
What’s
coming in:
26th June: Jupiter moves into Cancer for
next 12 months at 11.39 am AEST
Prepare to be swept off
your feet as Jupiter moves into Cancer and immediately activates the Grand Water
Trine with Saturn and Neptune.
As Jupiter moves into
Cancer, the Grand Water Trine expands beyond what we’ve experienced recently as
Jupiter comes into play.
It’s a huge collective
energy and even though we’re in the waves of emotion, we’re all in the same
boat.
Let it go, ride the waves
and we can fly to new heights.
What can we
expect with Jupiter in Cancer:
Believe that all is well and that the best is
yet to come!
Let the good
times roll: Jupiter is ‘exalted’ in
Cancer. This means its energy is in full bloom, enhanced and positively flowing
in every way. Cancer is the sign of the divine mother which means the divine
feminine energy will be hugely expanded and growing positively in the coming
year. This energy is about allowing ourselves to go with the flow, to let the
past be washed clean and believe that the best is yet to come.
Lucky, lucky us: Jupiter is huge, expansive, big
picture energy which is positive and optimistic. With Jupiter we are broadened
in our thinking, our vision and our wisdom. Jupiter seeks truth and higher
learning spiritually, academically and from the life of the world. The next
year promises us the opportunity and vision to uplift our lives and take
advantage of Jupiter’s good fortune, providing we clear all the dross from our
mind, heart and bodies and let the good fortune come in.
Jupiter in
Cancer:
On the mundane level: Nesting, home, family and a sense
of belonging become the focus
The family, home,
emotional security and the mother/mothering energy become the focus for
expansion and growth.
This includes all
energies which nourish the ‘child’ within us and support our joy of daily
living.
Spiritually:
The divine feminine becomes the focus as we open to nourishment and divine
grace...trust, the final test of faith!
The divine mother and the
state of grace becomes our reason for being. So many ancestral energies, family
issues of long standing will be cleansed, purified and released with this energy
over the next year and particularly in the next couple of months as Jupiter
kicks in with the Grand Water Trine.
The Grand Water Trine
offers immense karmic cleansing of the collective unconscious.
Rain and floods across the
world:
Interesting with the rain and
floods in various parts of the world which have been happening these past
months. This week, the water energy intensifies.
In India, torrential rain has
brought huge floods, landslides, death and destruction. It’s a time of
pilgrimage to sacred temples for many Hindus where they have been isolated or
lost their lives.
The Ganges River, worshipped as
Goddess Ganga and recognised as the Divine Mother, is said to flow from heaven.
At this time, many dead bodies have been found floating in the river regarded as
a purifying force for cleansing karma.
More reading on the
spiritual significance of the Ganges River, Mother Ganga:
I include this because
our attention is drawn to India, to the significance of the Ganges as Divine
Mother and to the power of water, a feminine element.
The statue in the picture
looks like Quan Yin to me, the Goddess of compassion, mercy and forgiveness,
‘She who hears the cries of the world’, often depicted with the divine waters
of healing. Let this energy flow through you at this time.

Jupiter will give a worldly focus to Cancerian issues:
the
starving, the food addicted, the anorexic, the homeless, the adopted, the
motherless
Any issues across the
world related to nourishment, nurturing, security and vulnerability will call
everyone to attention. This year we are becoming increasingly concerned as
global citizens for the care of the ‘children of the earth’.
We are all entitled to
the abundance of the earth, being cared for and nourished with the basic needs
of home, family, shelter, food, security and of course, feeling love and being
loved by ‘our mother’, our family. If we remember Maslow’s hierarchy of needs,
they’re all relevant from the physical right through to self-actualisation.
Worth reviewing these if you’re not familiar or have forgotten. See below for
link.
Food issues are one of
the major issues which will be bigger than usual, whether lack or abundance and,
with Jupiter involved, will become a world focus and concern. Also,
homes...having a home, owning a home, providing a home, renovating a home and
moving home.

From 26th to 30th June: Jupiter on 0 degrees...all
heart!
From Britt Martin at www.thecomicpath.com:
‘The 0 Cancer point in our collective consciousness is very significant.
It literally is The Heart, which if you were to think of your body as its own
universe, the heart is its center: the center of your own universe.’
The
Grand Trine with us through July and
most of August:
Keeping our heads above water!
Be aware when
you’re ‘in it’, up to your neck and when you need to step out of
it:
With these big emotional
energies, though essentially positive, we may feel like we’re out of control.
We are, to some extent. We need to know when we’re in the water, harnessing the
energies for our own growth and opportunity and to know when to take time out of
the emotional charge and be the observer.
When you feel like you’re
drowning, get thee to the porthole!
Remind yourself
it’s all good:
It’s happening ‘out
there’ and happening ‘inside’. Keep reminding yourself to step back and watch
the sea of emotion which is cleansing and purifying everyone. All the emotional
baggage is being swept away. It might even feel like you’re swimming in the
collective sewage as everyone’s shadow is rising out of the density of the
body.
The Grand Trine
incorporates Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces.
These three, slow moving
planets means to some degree, the changes will be slow enough to allow us to
integrate and adjust, to take time out of the maelstrom of energy and reorient
ourselves to changing conditions.
Riding the waves of change:
One big wave which
goes on forever
We’re already in this
wave, but with Jupiter involved, this is a much bigger water energy than we’ve
been experiencing.
It takes skill and
expertise to move smoothly through life at any time, but on a wave it takes
special awareness to ‘read’ the energy of the water which is fluid, emotional
and changeable.
We need sensitivity to
ourselves and others, to the bigger picture of world events as they reflect back
the dominating energy of the masses and what’s happening energetically.
Everything is a reflection. I include the weather in this although it’s not
widely acknowledged by astrology. I look to nature and the elements, the
seasons, the animals as well as what’s happening in the human sphere whether in
the shopping mall or amongst friends or family. Everything speaks to us if
we’re ready to listen and act in the best interests of evolving ourselves and
the world.

26th
June: Mercury turns retrograde at 23 degrees 07 Cancer at 11.07 pm...pigeon
post!
Retrograde
until 21st July
Here we are again with
Mercury retrograde which generally happens 3 times a year for a 3 week
duration. Remember the energies of retrograde are review, back to the drawing
board if necessary, take time to rest and build energies slowly for re-emergence
after 21st.
Mercury
rules communication of all kinds, travel, commerce, contracts,
networking and of course it’s mind energy! Fun and games!
Mercury
retrograde means the possibility of delays, hitches, breakdowns in any
or all of the above areas. It’s a time of review,
re-examination and rediscovery. It’s a time when we need the slow down for
breathing space. Doesn’t mean nothing will be happening. Just be wary of the
day it goes retrograde and the day it goes direct. Those times are less
conducive to movement.
Just remember to take as
many precautions as possible with communication and travel: check phones,
batteries, backup files, check vehicles, check appointment times and meetings as
well as travel plans including tickets, destinations and dates, bookings.
Hopefully you get the drift.
Misunderstanding and
misinformation happen in the retrograde period and especially so with Cancer
energy where childhood/past lives memories reside.
Mercury retrograde in Cancer:
Communication is all emotional...break down the shell of self-protection, no
sidestepping, let in love!
Cancer rules:
home, family, ancestors, the past, mothering, nurturing, emotional
security.
Revisiting the
past: review, renewal, reconnection with the past in relation to
family of all kinds including this life, ancestors, past lives, light
family.
The past
renewed: When Mercury retrogrades, we revisit the past and with
Mercury in Cancer, doubly so. This revisiting could be in daily life physically
meeting up with people from the past, not just birth or present family, but past
life connections, soul family, karmic links...which means people you haven’t met
in this life but you KNOW as soon as you meet them. I’m sure you’re familiar
with this experience, when the connection is effortless, as though you’re just
picking up the connection as though it was yesterday.
Communication: be a human bean!
Empathy is the energy of
the time!
Feel, weep, laugh...open hearts to reconnection and healing through
grace!
Cancer energy is all
emotion as it’s ruled by the moon which means with Jupiter in Cancer emotions
become larger than life under this influence.
Watch the words
and don’t take things personally:
Mercury retrograding in
Cancer calls us to be aware of how words and emotions interact. We’re feeling
sensitive and our sensitivities may be triggered by words, even the words in our
minds and memories. You know the voices in your head from childhood which
challenged your sense of self-love and value.
Irrational
reactions: a memory being triggered
Shadow words:
Under this influence, people can blurt out something which is painful
and/or damaging to themselves and/or others because the memories are being
triggered. The ugliness of humanity from times and ages past is being released
and purified. Long held, suppressed emotions are coming through. It doesn’t mean
it’s all ugly as there will be many opportunities to forgive and heal after the
release. Just remind yourself ‘it’s just stuff coming up’ and move through it
as quickly as possible. Get a jar of jellybeans and have one to help shift out
of it, just to remind yourself ‘I’m a bean and it’s okay’!
Be a human being,
be a jelly bean in a jar with millions of others: Release, forgive, heal,
feel mercy and compassion
Our challenge will be to
forgive ourselves and others as we feel the release. So, if you’re having nasty
thoughts, remember you’re a human being.
28th June: Venus moves into Leo from 3.03 am AEST until 22nd
July...passion is ignited!
Fun and frivolity!
Venus changes her tune
from home and family to fiery passionate, creative, child like and romantic!
Take your pick. There’s plenty to choose from!
This will be such a lovely
energy, alleviating us from all the emotion and focus of the Cancerian energy
which can be, at times, a little overwhelming. Make the most of this energy for
the next month as it uplifts our spirits and helps us to discover our inner
child and how to play again.
Romance and Fun: Romance will be big on the
agenda. Leo loves love and romance and with Venus in Leo, love will be
light-hearted, maybe ephemeral, like a holiday romance. Beauty, harmony and
sweet feelings will be the underpinning of any event providing we’re aware of
the Mercury in Cancer, sensitive child within.
Play and Fun: Inner
child/children will want to have FUN! Remember that??? Take your inner
child/own children out to have some fun. Play games which are not competitive,
just for the joy of the experience.
I still remember playing
with my Coca Cola yo-yo endlessly. Never bored, just learning and practising
all those ‘tricks’ for the pure fun of it!
Creativity and Fun: When we’re creating something
and we’re in our passionate selves, we’re in love with life. Expand your
concept of creativity beyond the widespread concept that creativity is primarily
a physical occupation. It involves, the heart and the mind exploring any and
every dimension. When we’re in the flow of creativity, we’re in joy. so get
into the flow, where time doesn’t exist.

The concept of flow from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology)
Proposed
by Mihály
Csíkszentmihályi,
this positive
psychology concept has been widely referenced across a
variety of fields.[1]
According
to Csikszentmihalyi, flow is completely focused motivation.
It is a single-minded immersion and represents perhaps the ultimate
experience in harnessing the emotions in the service of performing and learning.
In flow, the emotions are not just contained and channeled, but positive,
energized, and aligned with the task at hand. To be caught in the ennui of depression or the agitation of anxiety is to be barred from flow. The hallmark of
flow is a feeling of spontaneous joy,
even rapture, while performing a task[2] although flow is also described (below) as a
deep focus on nothing but the activity – not even oneself or one's
emotions.

A few phrases from the

‘we share one
destination, united by unseen ties’
and
‘When I hear the waves
breaking on the shore, I wash my soul in that sound’
When I see the sunlight
for evermore, I lay my burden down.
I saw a rainbow shining
like a sign in the sky,
I knew the time was
nigh
The water said to the dirty one, “Come
here.”
The dirty one said, “I am too ashamed.”
The water replied, “How will your shame be washed away without me?
