June continues with four changes of sign and the Summer Solstice this week. Also, after several months of a tightly packed “bucket” arrangement of planets that saw many stelliums and conjunctions, which encouraged us to concentrate a great deal of attention on specific areas of the chart; Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus. The planets are starting to spread out now. This changes the dynamics. We will have ongoing opportunities to apply the wisdom received and remembered to broader areas of life.
Not only were we under the influence of the concentrated bucket arrangement, but we had an Eclipse season with a Total Solar Eclipse in April. We have had extraordinary Aurora Borealis, a parade of planets, and high solar flare activities as well. SPRING WAS INTENSE THIS YEAR! I sincerely hope that it was a season of breakthrough and wisdom for you.
ASTROLOGY FORECAST
(June 16 - 23)
VENUS and MERCURY are conjunct and move together into Cancer on 6/17. Both planets find a happy medium in Cancer without undue challenge.
MERCURY leans toward being drawn to history, antiques and tradition in Cancer. The home is less likely to be modern in decor. The mental patterns tend to be softer, with nostalgia for the domestic arenas taking point.
VENUS takes on a nurturing, motherly aspect in Cancer. As always, love of elegance and beauty are predominant, especially as it pertains to home and hearth. That is the traditional way to interpret these transits, but the times are not normal, so I invite a deeper interpretation for your consideration.
VENUS and MERCURY are both personal planets. Cancer is a water sign associated with home and hearth, nurturing and motherhood. If you remember, last year I asked you to add the possibility that Cancer was also about finding your “home” wherever you landed, because the true home is always with you in your “heart center.” I also asked you to think of the Cancer symbol crab's sideways movements, it's adaptability. Next week I will be discussing something about Solar flares and new information coming in. This will be a very individual journey where each of us takes a distinct path only for ourselves. These two personal planets in the HOME zone are good partners to have.
Mercury will be in Cancer through 7/2, and VENUS until 7/11. It may be a good idea when you read the suggestions for next week about Solar seeds and Sun disks to specifically invoke MERCURY and VENUS as your personal assistants.
Asteroid VESTA is moving into Leo on 6/19 until 8/24. I think this will be a very interesting transit this year. VESTA is the home of the sacred flame within the self. She has a purity of purpose. Now, Leo the Lion is predominantly about power, sovereignty, and how that may or may not apply to leadership. So do you see where I'm going with this? SACRED LEADERSHIP ANYONE? We can sure use it.
Ultimately, you are designed to be your own divine leader. VESTA can help you do that in the most sacred way. KNOW that you have that flame burning within yourself and use all its glory to create something extraordinary in your life. VESTA stands ready to assist you.
The SUN moves into Cancer on 6/20. We've discussed Cancer characteristics above. Now we have the Sun joining Mercury and Venus to form a stellium in Cancer. My advice is quite simple, really. Drink water. Get in water! Float, play, allow the Divine Feminine aspect of the water element to cleanse, sooth, and nurture you. This will be important because the 25th Solar Flare cycle continues, and you will be surrounded by brand new galactic fire energies constantly. You will similate what is best for you much more easily with the help of the water element. Let the divine feminine be of assistance as well.
The FULL MOON is in Capricorn at 9:08 pm EST on 6/21. This is also the Summer Solstice in the northern hemisphere.
There are several interesting aspects on this FULL MOON day and evening. Let's look at them one at a time to discern a theme for you.
T-SQUARE between Moon, Sun , Mercury, Venus, and Neptune.
This is an opposition between the Moon in Capricorn and the conjunct SUN, MERCURY, and VENUS in Cancer.
All of them are, in turn, square to NEPTUNE in Pisces. This can be dynamic, but does not have to be difficult. In a T-square arrangement the apex planet is the focal point. In this case NEPTUNE is at 29° Pisces, which encourages us to implement ALL of the best attributes of Pisces. Mystical, Magical, Esoteric Pisces and NEPTUNE are a perfect combination for our foray into the new age. Therefore, this T-square has alot of positive energy available to you. Again, I stress the Divine Feminine as two of the three signs involved are water signs.
Also active is a square between PLUTO and MARS. Perhaps you will remember a few columns back when I introduced the concept of higher octaves of expression. PLUTO is the higher octave of MARS. A square is not inherently bad, it presents a challenge to choose better, create something more beautiful. This power dynamic is about proper use of your personal power and ours as a society as well.
Finally, PLUTO in Aquarius is Trine both JUPITER and URANUS in Gemini and Taurus respectively. Trines are always universally positive. Luck and Providence are with you. PLUTO concerns entire populations and cultures. URANUS supports sudden developments. JUPITER is, of course, our luckiest planet, and in Gemini that luck spreads around to many individuals.
Take this FULL MOON to heart, go out and talk to the Galaxy and expect great things. May this help you find your Godspeed.
ASTROLOGY FORECAST
(June 24 - 30)
I want to discuss a process that is in progress this year regarding our SUN, and including the current Solar Flare cycle. The Summer Solstice heralding the beginning of Summer in the Northern hemisphere is an appropriate place for these thoughts.
We are currently in what is termed the 25th Solar Flare cycle, and it is peaking in 2024. The previous cycle, the 24th, peaked in the Spring of 2013, right after our Milky Way Galaxy aligned in a Total Solar Eclipse to the Great Central Sun on Dec 21, 2012.
The SUN has a huge sunspot that has been spitting out eruptions resulting in numerous X and M class flares in the last two weeks. These emissions are more than the 100 trillion neutrinos that pass through your body every second of every day. The coded information traveling on the emissions from a Solar flare contains information in the form of “sun seeds.”
This information is paraphrased from author Rae Chandran, The Sedona Journal, volume 33, May 2023, pages 9-12.
It discusses the codes from the Sun and Moon, hermetic teachings, and alchemy. It states that you may consciously anchor in a” sun seed,” from the solar flares, and that you may request to anchor sun disks into your chakras. It continues on to encourage you to sync your soul pulse with that of your physical being, the planets, the signs, etc.
Not covered in the article, but worth discussion, is our unique interaction with galactic energies. We can all stand in a crowd out in the sun, go through the steps stated above, and none of us would anchor in the same combination of energies.
Many years ago I was given a wisdom teaching during automatic writing that gives clues as to the way this might happen. It involves the retina cells in our eyes. I was told that those cells are unique and ancient. They communicate directly with our DNA and stem cells. These cells are very much involved with our electromagnetic energy gradually transforming to crystalline, and with the activation of our 24th pair of chromosomes. This happens whether you are aware of it or not. If you choose to make it a practice and part of your Ascension process you, will accelerate your soul growth.
NOW, I AM NOT TELLING YOU TO STARE AT THE SUN! What I am saying is this comes to you as a normal transmission of natural light.
Several years ago I took a course on the Keys of Enoch, came out of a deep meditation and seemed to have gone to the Great Central Sun. Markers were put in my hands and I drew a few pictures to illustrate my “journey.” One of them was a single ray of sunlight packed full of symbols and sigils. I want to draw your attention to the photo at the top of the heading. This is a picture my husband, Doug Lull, took that clearly shows distinct energies on the ray of sunlight! I invite you to experiment with the idea, the process, and make it your own.
There is more to the timing involved. Why now? Include Tibetan Numerology and consider this. We are in the peak of the 25th Solar cycle, we live on the planet Earth, and we hope to live in a state of Grace. The numeral breakdown for each of these things; 25th cycle, Earth, and Grace is a “7.” Seven is connected to inspiration, mystery, intuition, and has brain connections to deep memory.
I suggest to you that this is a time when the forces of love and light have provided us an opportunity to make great gains toward receiving more of our full soul attributes into the physical world. This summer is a unique time for us. I invite you to try a version of this that works for you.
There is one last planetary change in June. SATURN begins retrograde motion on 6/29 at 19° Pisces. This retrograde lasts until 11/15/24. It will be in the second decanate of Pisces the entire time, as it travels from 19° to 12.°
The second decanate of Pisces has these characteristics:
KEYWORD: Compassion
CONSTELLATION: Cygnus, the Swan, known as the Northern Cross. The celestial symbol of grace and beauty.
PLANETARY SUBRULER: The Moon.
NEPTUNE rules Pisces, and is currently at the 29th culminating degree where you hope to achieve all of the sign's attributes. Neptune combines with the lunar energies to greatly heightened your awareness of the greater cosmic energies. Everything is humming on all cylinders.
How will the SATURN retrograde factor into this? You may be able to make adjustments to structure and procedures that will work best in the months to come. Adapt, reorganize, and find just enough necessary discipline to implement some of the highly advanced memory seeds and soul attributes you are inviting into your daily existence.
May this Summer find you blessed and joyful.
I
