We’re on a Gemini journey, not exactly flying through the air!
Our
flying skier shows us where Mercury would LIKE to be!
Mercury retrograde in Cancer: ‘drowning in a sea of
love’!
The
Gemini Sun energy is feeling somewhat contained as it’s ruler Mercury is now in
retrograde motion AND in a water sign. Mercury is a mind energy and doesn’t
like travelling through the watery emotional signs.
The
mind is learning to operate in an alien environment where emotions are important
and how we express our emotions, even more important.
Revisiting the past:
Reunions with people, ideas and memories!
Just remember that Mercury retrograde takes us back to the past where we
revisit experiences, people, places, hopes and dreams that have been put aside
at some point in our lives.
Endings and beginnings: Goodbye, Hello!
Reunions can lead us to finally close doors on ‘unfinished business’ or
renew ties and relationships which will continue on. Especially with the
influence of the Full Moon in the next week, whatever needs to end will do so
and whatever comes to ripeness and renewal, will do so.

In the past week: Major solar flares and
moderate geomagnetic storms
It’s been a few months since we’ve had this level of solar
activity. This energy can slow you down or energise.
You can feel tired, exhausted, energised, irritable, jumpy or absolutely
nothing.
There is no ‘one rule fits everybody’.
Just remember, that we often don’t feel the impact of solar flares
until 24 to 36 days afterwards.
After solar flares, we usually experience geomagnetic storms which
impact on earth’s geomagnetic field.
What’s coming in:
A Full Moon in Sagittarius
offering fireworks, fun and frivolity!
It’s a wrestling match! Uranus and Pluto at it
again, fired up by Mars!!!
A
Full Moon in Sagittarius accompanied by some challenging energies competing for
attention as our old ‘friends’ Pluto and Uranus hold to their ‘square’ and Mars
provides a trigger for both, in particular Pluto.
13th June: Full Moon in
Sagittarius at 22 degrees 6 Sagittarius at 2.11 pm AEST
The open road, open sea and adventure beckons!
At the same time we are called to stillness:
The
Full Moon in Sagittarius calls forth our sense of adventure, our desire for
movement and travel, our desire for the higher wisdom and learning on the road
less travelled.
Fire and water: An interesting mix!
Steamed
heat!
The
Sagittarius energy is fire, fireworks, parties and people. Yet the Full Moon is
an energy of stillness and contemplation, an energy supported by the prevalence
of ‘watery’, emotional energies in the astrological chart at this time.
The Sagittarius Full Moon: A journey
within!
Our
Sagittarius energy wants us to hit the high road and the full moon calls us to
acknowledge the inner voice and the inner journey. Acknowledging both our
desire for movement and desire for stillness is the call of this full
moon.
Something comes to light, to culmination, to conclusion, to a
head!
The
full moon brings forth knowledge and understanding that has been buried within
our being. Something we’ve been mulling over and/or trying to resolve can be
brought into the light at this time.
Big emotional release:
Mercury and Neptune in
water signs open the door to the past!
Embrace the release and
resolution!
With Cancer retrograding in Mercury, we’re travelling back to the past,
to memories, to people, places and experiences. The Full Moon expands all the
emotional energies and helps us access these often hidden emotions. With
Mercury, the messenger assisting this access to the past, we should feel an
enormous release of energies which have been buried for too long.
Sagittarius is a fire sign which
calls forth our inner extrovert! It’s fireworks and excitement...bonfire
night!!!
Sagittarian Full Moon opposite Gemini Sun:
It’s a fiery talk fest!
Information and understanding is available through communication
and contact with others. Previous confusions can be cleared in this energy, as
long as we remain aware of potential misunderstandings arising from Mercury
retrograde in Cancer. With this, sensitivity is high and emotions are open and
vulnerable.
Talking from the heart in truth is favoured and powerful at this
full moon.
The Sagittarius Moon opposite the Gemini Sun
calls us to make the connections...in ourselves, with others and with the social
milieu of community, nation and world.
Bonfire night? The more the merrier?
Our
party animal is out looking for action, but there’s not a
lot happening...just yet!
What used to bring pleasure won’t apply at this
time. Quieter gatherings will work well.
Seeking like-minded others is worthwhile. Making
the connection ‘spiritually’ focussed will be pleasurable.
This Full Moon keeps our feet in the water and our
eyes on the skies!
Emerging energies and archetypes at
the Sagittarian Full Moon:
Our crusader comes to the fore!
Our desire to DO something to save others and/or
to save the world is very much front and centre.
We
may feel fired up to make change in our own lives as well as feel the need to
commit to freeing the world into truth and justice.
It’s important to observe this part of ourselves that feels called to
action in these energies as it may well be guiding us on our pathway forward.
Our seeker of wisdom, knowledge and truth comes
forward: Teaching and learning!
Sagittarius rules higher knowledge and the desire for truth and
wisdom. This full moon may open the heart and mind to finding a deeper wisdom
and a greater understanding of the truth in our lives and in the wider
world.
Education, higher education calls us and that includes academic as
well as spiritual learning and teaching.
The two energies go together.
Both Gemini and Sagittarius are the
teaching/learning/communicating energies which inspire us to open our minds and
spirits to expanding our knowledge and understanding as well as to offer our
knowledge to others.
Our archer hits the bull’s eye!
Sagittarius is represented by ‘the archer’ firing the arrow of
truth!
Sagittarius is associated with the archer and the arrow of truth.
This is a call to align with your path of truth and to let the arrow of destiny
take you to your target, your fulfilment this lifetime. 
Messages about your pathway forward: Let the
adventure begin!
This full moon is a perfect time to tune in to the truth of your
pathway forward. Just let all the possibilities emerge, without trying to pin
them down.
The Sagittarian sense of adventure is likely to ignite our
imagination and fill our minds with exciting new avenues to explore. Let
yourself be taken to whatever excites and allow yourself to revel in the
pictures and experiences being presented.
Our traveller and adventurer calls us to explore the
world:
The open road, the open seas, the universe
beyond home!
Without doubt, Sagittarius is the restless wind, calling us to
explore and learn through travelling and meeting with others. It’s an
extroverted energy which seeks answers through contact with new places, new
experiences and through travelling the ancient roads of the spiritual seeker.
Satisfying the desire for movement:
Working
with ‘I want to go’ and ‘I want to stay’!
There’s a major desire driving us at this Full Moon...to get
moving! And yet, we are somewhat held by Mars in Libra, still in retrograde
shadow and Mercury in retrograde in the home loving sign of Cancer. The best
way to keep this fiery energy content is ‘doing’ the inner journey of
contemplation and meditation, to make connections with people and places with
which you feel some sense of belonging.
If it’s a group tour, all the
better! The more the merrier!
Planetary energies at this Full
Moon:
Venus in Taurus opposite Saturn in Scorpio:
Taking our authority in the heart healing transformation!
Karmic clearing of
the heart!
Saturn rules karma and helps us to complete our ‘work’ on the planet
this lifetime. With Venus/our heart opposite Saturn, our hearts are being
called into big resolution of heart wounds and pain. Remember, the past is a
big player at this full moon!
Big healing potential at this full moon as we take
charge of our hearts, the wounds of our hearts and the wounds we carry for
others.
Allow the barriers to healing to fall away under the light of this
moon. It is time for us to come to resolution of the karmic burdens of ancient
history, past lives, planetary memories.
Takes 3 to tussle:
Mars, Pluto and Uranus come to grips with
each other!
Mars in Libra,
squares/challenges Pluto in Capricorn with Uranus stirring the
pot!
No-one’s going to win in this clinch. It’s a 3 way holding pattern
which is shifting us all.
Mars wants to fire to action but is being contained by peace talks in
Libra.
Pluto in Capricorn is agitated and stirred up by Mars fire demanding
change through balance and harmony.
Uranus in Aries is screaming for radical action.
Likely outcome: More dramatic changes and shifts leading us to
resolution and harmony, for this round anyway!
After all, this is just another battle round in an ongoing ‘war’ with
the status quo, the old energies holding us back from evolution.
Uranus in Aries is a player in the Mars/Pluto square: A loose
cannon! Expect the unexpected! Radical actions and
reactions!
17th June:
Mercury retrograde
moves into Gemini 8.04 pm AEST
Hang onto your hats! Talk about the restless wind! and
mind!
Whooo! Mercury’s back home in Gemini and it’s stirring up our minds and
thinking!
Shifting winds, shifting minds:
Mercury retrograde turns everything upside down and when it’s in Gemini,
even more so. What we thought ‘is’ becomes ‘isn’t’ and what we thought ‘isn’t’
becomes ‘is’, if that makes sense.
17th June to 13th July:
Mercury is in
Gemini...’mental’ as anything?
On 17th, Mercury moves back into Gemini for nearly a month, an
extended stay in its home sign, whether or not it’s coming or going.
Two more weeks retrograde energy in Gemini:
Reviewing ideas, restoring or finally releasing ‘old’
projects. With Mercury now out of Cancerian waters until 13th July,
the focus on the past and memories will not be as
intense and not as emotional. We may still be connecting with people
and contacts from the past but not with the same emotional overtones.
Take time to rest the mind: We’re in the land of
the Gemini mind which is constantly working and reworking. Just make sure you
take time out to rest the mind completely in whatever way suits you as the
nervous energy of Gemini running with the wind is likely to wear us out.
Sometimes we don’t want to rest when our mind is on a ‘roll’.
This can lead to burn out and mental exhaustion, so the programming
of ‘time out’ is supportive of the creative flow being maintained.
Mercury’s progress for June and July:
17th June: Mercury retrogrades into Gemini
1st July: Mercury moves direct at 24 degrees
Gemini
13th July: Mercury moves direct into Cancer
1st August: Mercury moves out of Cancer into Leo
As you can see, during the Mercury retrograde periods, we’re
dealing with two very different energies, Cancer/emotional and Gemini/mental.
From Linda Hill: Sabian Symbols for the
Full Moon in Sagittarius: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GtyMeEcPPE
Immigrants Fulfilling The Requirements For Entering A New
Country.
The following is from my book The
Sabian Oracle: 360 Degrees Of Wisdom:
This is a time of new possibility and hope for better things and a
new way of life. You may find yourself preparing to venture into new territory
for the promise that is offered. There may need to be adjustments about the way
one communicates thoughts and ideas. There will be a need to be receptive to
this new way of life, as you’ll learn a lot. Learning how to communicate can
help you to succeed in this new territory, whether it is a new home, new
country, new job, new relationship, etc., and can help dispel any feelings of
alienation and loneliness. Perhaps there is a need to let go of past experiences
or people in order to move on in life. Letting go of the hindering and stifling
elements of the past will help transport hope into the “new world” that is
opening up. How do you feel in this new environment? Do you feel strangely yet
completely at home, or do you feel like a fish out of water? Give thanks for
what is being released from the past and be prepared for the new to come, it’s
bound to be challenging, yet rewarding!

That’s it everyone!
Love and blessings to us all as we move through the big energy of this
full moon! It’s an interesting mix with the fiery Sagittarius moon, fanned by
the winds of the Gemini Sun, wanting fireworks along with the three tussling
Sumo Wrestlers of Mars, Pluto and Uranus. Meanwhile, the watery energies of
Mercury and Neptune are calling for peace, resolution and going with the flow.
Interesting mix eh?
There is no right or wrong way to negotiate these apparently conflicting
energies, as well know. Just trusting that something good will come out of this
Sagittarian party. Resolution of conflicts is entirely possible at this time.
Hallelujah!
helenbea

It’s all about
love
