2016-06 W25: Forecasts for Week 25 of 2016

June 2016 (Mars Out)

Week 25 (W25)

This is the last full week of Spring 2016.  For many, summer is already here.  This is a VERY busy week astrologically, and you will see many “changes.”

Sunday June 12th

The week starts off with a Bang! as Mars (Scorpio) trines Chiron (Pisces).  Whenever Chiron is involved we talk about education, health, and especially mentors.  But both planets are in water and Mars at home in Scorpio.  Today is all about making and breaking secrets.  Some secrets bubble to the surface and are exposed and new ones are created as certain people manufacture new “cover stories.”

That would be enough, but Venus (Gemini) sextiles Uranus (Aries) and surprises become the norm for the day.  This can be a very tough day for water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) and maybe earth signs as well…

June’s powerful astrological movements continue this Monday, with Neptune entering retrograde at 4:42 PM (EST).

What does Neptune retrograde have in store for us?

Neptune is the ruler of mists, haze, divine mysteries, and the sea. It makes sense that this beautiful blue planet also rules dreamy, sensitive Pisces, no?

This retrograde period, which runs from June 13 until November 19 this year, is a wonderful time to open our eyes to renewed clarity. Our dreams and intuition will become more vivid and real to us. Introspective activities will provide greater insights into our spiritual selves, our creative selves, and our shadow selves.

Basically, in Neptune Retrograde, the fog lifts, allowing our spiritual energies to run more openly than ever!

This is a powerful time for us to match our dreams and intuition with our desires.

There are, of course, shadow sides to everything, and this retrograde motion is no…

Sometimes my life resembles
a Jackson Pollock painting,
infused with many hues
splashed onto a canvas
on the floor.
Dripping with wild emotions
in an unlocked cage.

My emotions exploding
in a color riot.

Blue is the predominant color
born out of storms
and robin nests.
Yellow fights to soak through,
wanting me to notice the sun,
to consider the light.

Red sits along the edges
winking at me
in all its vibrance.
We share pleasures remembered.
Falling in love, into silk sheets,
not one regret.

White peaks through,
the ghost of all I have lost.
A dove suggest peace.

Black reminds me
that depression is a dim light
always flickering nearby.
Whispering doubt.

Sometimes my life resembles
a Jackson Pollock painting.
Living years poured
over a canvas of petals.
Chaos becomes beauty
when dripping paint.

Mercury enters tropical Gemini and stays there for some days together with the Sun and Venus (Venus leaves Gemini on 17 June); it indicates a person fond of change, travel and creative work. He/She is always ready to investigate some new thing, or go to some other place for a change; in short, almost anything that is new appeals to him. At the same time if Mercury is well-fortified such people gain greatly by this fluidic state of the mind for they are shrewd and penetrating in their judgment so that they know good value when they see it and are not prejudiced by preconceived, set opinions.

The weekend is a big busy mutable weekend as the Moon in Virgo activates the Mutable T-square, which may make you feel like you are on an emotional roller-coaster, which will test you about your faith and your deepest dreamy wild truths, and if you know which way is up or not and  tests your hardest self-knowledge about What is real, and what is too hard to imagine?

As the Moon opposite Neptune early in the a.m. I’m feeling high as a kite.
then the Moon Squares Saturn one hour later, the crash. Who put lead in my shoes and why am i so down and blue?
then 41/2 hours later Moon conjuncts Optimistic expansive trusting Jupiter. Wow I am feeling so UP!
Then the Moon conjunct North Node , 4 hours later; a karmic new cycle begins at 16 degrees.
