Welcome, dear Reader in the Astro Spirit Tribe, to this Summer SoUlstice Full Moon Cosmic Update!

While we’re honouring our Fathers and Forefathers (not just) today, the count-down is ON, for the FULL MOON on the very, very end of Spring, just 11 hrs before Summer Solstice!
Both ‘events’ happen tomorrow Mon June 20! – in the Western World – June 21 will be Summer Solstice in CET and East of that.

This will be the second SAG – GEM Full Moon this year (the first one was on May 21, on the first day of GEMINI) – a ‘Blue Moon’, zodiac wise 🙂

The Full Moon will be at the very end of SAG (pointing to the Galactic Centre!) – I call the SAG – CAP cusp also ‘Integrity Point’ of the Zodiac….

What a powerful energy guiding us into the Sacred Turning Point of theSummer Solstice!

Fragrant…

FULL MOON : SUPER SAG energy Today…a day best spent in Lycra, sunvisor, on an international flight, doing yoga by your teepee in the forest..or in your disco pants…here’s some inspiration.

Get out, get about and MOVE your body to allow you to flow with today’s fiery lunar vibration.

Featured is Tash Lockhart, with some key Sag clues, check the big smile, rollicking uplifting energy, heart shaped girl next door kind of face, not to mention exaggerated and amusing facial antics. And of course Sag rules the thighs, often giving a svelt athletic appearance. Can anyone say /Christina Aguilera’? ; )

Sagittarius is known for its expansion principle. More is always better..hence, often very generous with no expectation of return. Where can you be larger than life with your generosity today? Pay it forward.

I look at the astrology chart for this Summer Solstice Full Moon in the sign of Sagittarius and what strikes me is the power of cycles. Everything seems to change and yet if I look behind the events I see the same universal story repeating itself. There is a sacred order in the chaos of daily reality that goes beyond rational understanding:  Life rises, ripens, decays, dies and rises again renewed. It can be applied to a relationship, a project, a business or a lifetime and the cycles can be short or very long, but we all go through these steps again and again.

Every day we rise from bed, activate ourselves and as the day go on we are naturally feeling the necessity to rest and sleep (a symbolic death) and we wake up the following morning renewed.  In the same way that each spring is followed…

During meditation this morning I could hear drums beating. My cells felt alive and vibrated alongside the beat. My body was filled with a sense of excitement.

I think something has shifted.

These past few days I have been experiencing physical symptoms – a cold, a lost voice, extreme tiredness, breakouts. They’re still present this morning (minus the breakouts – yay!), but lighter somehow.

The extreme rain that was falling yesterday and into the night has cleared and now the birds are singing as the sun is rising in the sky; as if personifying that a cleanse has taken place.

It’s as if yesterday’s blog post marked the ‘low point of the story’ with regards to the Saturn/Neptune square and the huge energy that has been part of the Grand Cross of late.

Yes, my night’s dreams are still profoundly vivid and yes, they’re still peppered with imagery of anger…

With Mercury 11 Gemini opposite Saturn 11 Sagittarius, I understand many will find it difficult to communicate certain things. So it is important that those with the strongest feelings and strongest words speak for others, not just themselves.

However, Mercury [20N44] contra-parallel Mars [21S00], Saturn [20S28], and Pluto [21S01] shows that some sharp words may need to be spoken to break the ice of long frozen serious issues. It may get explosive (Mars quincunx Uranus).

Let the fallout happen. You can deal with it too. Sometimes “I” statements need to be authoritatively made, because the issues have grown too important. Let others’ responses be what they will. Speak your truth.

It might get loud. It will probably create echoes.

Neptune turned retrograde on Monday 13th June 2016, at 12 degrees of its own sign of Pisces, making a second exact square with Saturn in Sagittarius on 18th June. The third and final square in this difficult planetary dance takes place at 10 degrees of their respective signs on 10th September 2016, after which the square gradually loses potency, reaching 10 degrees of separation by the end of 2016.

Saturn/Neptune

A great battle between order (Saturn) and chaos (Neptune)  has been raging since the end of 2015 in particular,  as mass migration of peoples – often by sea – fleeing wars and persecution at a level not seen since the end of the Second World War, has challenged European nations’ capacity to cope. With the gradual waning of the turbulent, violent, purgative years of  Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn, at the same time as the waning of  Saturn square Neptune,  we can only hope for…

Yoga has its origin thousands of years ago in India. Yoga is a mind and body practice with historical origins in ancient Indian philosophy. Like other meditative movement practices used for health purposes, various styles of yoga typically combine physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation or relaxation. Yoga  has  become very popular not only in India but also in many other parts of the world. Yogic practices lead to the development of  holistic health. Yoga is primarily used as a preventive measure. It can also  be used for better management of physical and mental disorders. International Yoga Day is celebrated annually on June 21 and was declared to be internationally recognized by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on December 11, 2014.It  is common to associate the word Yoga with a system of physical postures and meditation. But Yoga in its original form has a deep spiritual significance which…

“Full Moon is paired within 12 hours with the powerful point of solstice boosting both their energies… That’s astrological gold!

We have the unusual situation of having the second Full Moon in Sagittarius in a row. Last Full Moon in May was in the first degree of Sagittarius, and now we have Full Moon in the last degree… Initiation and culmination are emphasized and magnified. The last degree of any sign is a bridge to the new way of being, integrating and then releasing all that has gone before…

We have great opportunity to turn this summer time frame into preparation for major growth and movement in our ability to align our hearts, our lives, our vision, our thoughts with Spirit and center our selves in true power like never before.

We must strengthen our personal and collective containers to receive these gifts; otherwise, we cannot hold the increased energies…

“Every integral man has inside him, in his heart of hearts, a mystic center around which all else revolves. This mystic whirling lends unity to his thoughts and actions; it helps him find or invent the cosmic harmony. For some this center is love, for others kindness or beauty, others the thirst for knowledge or the longing for gold and power. They examine the relative value of all else and subordinate it to this central passion.”~Nikos Kazantzakis

On June 20, 2016 we will be blessed with the event of (almost) a lifetime. For the first time in 70 years the summer solstice falls on the same day as the full “strawberry” moon. Oh yes energy junkies this one is especially for you but we will ALL hit the cosmic jackpot!

The summer Solstice happens at 6:34pm. This is when the sun stands still at its northernmost point (as seen…

This is the second Full Moon in Sagittarius in a row, which makes issues that fall under the rulership of Sagittarius all the more potent and likely to have surfaced over the last lunar month.

Issues of freedom, liberty, international movements, higher education, religion and higher truth, and of course political and media spin, are all on the table.

Did you hit the bars on yr freedom somewhere? Any crisis or challenge can be seen as a gift, in this case, illuminating where you need to break free. By this full moon, hopefully the HOW to expand your situation to better fit the authentic you.

Found where you NEED to EXPAND? Did opportunities for expansion present? Are you busting out and taking your best swing? I hope so!
