“Moon in Capricorn”

The Moon has shifted from fiery Sagittarius into practical, goal-oriented Capricorn for the next few days…and our attention gets turned towards our responsibilities. We tend to be more serious in this energy, but mainly that’s just because we’re more focused. We enjoy working on problems alone, to think and plan…then we can take care of business, which is our main goal!

Be kind with the Moon in Capricorn, it helps balance your Karma. It’s easier to acknowledge and accept our strengths and weaknesses, this can help us to be more productive. We’re viewing life in a more realistic light, which simply helps us get things done. This is a good time for practical communication, especially with older people or those that are influential. Any kind of construction or building is favored in this energy, and for all you “gem stone” lovers, this energy is…

Today is the first day of Summer! In astrology, Cardinal signs always mark the commencement of a new season. Generally, Cardinal signs point to new beginnings, fresh starts and an abundance of opportunity. There’s emphasis on taking acting and leading the way. This is a great time to start new projects and funnel any excess ambition into something grand. Astrologically speaking, Cardinal signs look got ways to be proactive and seize control of things. There’s restless energy that favors innovation, entrepreneurial spirit and “getting the ball rolling.” The challenge is to be assertive instead of reactive. Cancer is also a Water sign. As a member of the Water trio, Cancer encompasses compassion and kindness; these traits are pushed to the forefront of our personalities over the next four weeks. Of all the signs, Cancer is most drawn towards nesting: nurturing others comes naturally here. We actively seek avenues in which…

And Eternity in an hour.”

A good time to: complete a build-up from what was once begun and lost, so you can start anew.

Challenges: Every probable move seems to lead nowhere, except to disruption.

Balance: Notice where the disruptions are originating from and organize them for later use.

The Full Moon on June 20th is at the anaretic degree (29th) of Sagittarius, closely aligned with the Galactic Center. Suddenly after a period of stuckness, delays and limitations since late last year there are so many possibilities opening up and so much energy at our disposal that it can be tricky to know which way to go.

The Full Moon T-squares Chiron in Pisces which has been bringing up some very old wounds and painful memories during the past week that we may either feel overwhelmed by or finally ready to acknowledge and release. A lot of us are processing all that has radically changed for us during the past several months.

An opposition to Venus in Cancer increases desires whatever they may be and puts us in the mood for creature comforts. Here is where we may pause in the middle of our rugged voyage and reach for…

If like me, you have recently gone through a tremendous clearing, either physical, or emotional, or spiritual, or you have suffered some kind of loss, be aware that space has been made for the light that is cascading in powerful waves upon our fair planet at Solstice.

You may or may not be consciously aware of a renewed ability to absorb this light and transform it into work that you are here to do. We are all here for the same purpose, to love. It seems that there is so much more to do than that, but in reality, love is the solitary purpose of creation – Goddess/God in full expression of their sacred beingness.

This year’s solstice coincides with the Strawberry Moon, Native American tribes called Solstice moon Strawberry moon.

It is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.

Bringing a day with the most amount of sunshine as the sun will reach the highest point throughout the course of the year and Full Moon.

Plus it marks the beginning of the strawberry season. The two events coincide once every 70 years.

Solstice I love the name, meaning “sun stands still”.

Happy Summer Days!!

Solstice Blessings,

Happy SUMMER SOLSTICE!

We are celebrating the longest days of the year in the Northern Hemisphere (as the SUN has reached the Tropic of CANCER) – one of the four sacred turning points of the year (Summer and Winter Solstice, and Spring and Fall Equinox).

Solstice means literally‘Standstill of the Sun’.

Celtic Wheel of the Year, with Ostara / Spring Equinox, Beltane, LITHA / Summer Solstice, Lughnassad, Mabon, Samhain, Yule, and Imbolc.

Apparently, from the perspective of the Northern Hemisphere, the SUN has reached its maximum range of the Ecliptic, and is now overhead the Tropic of CANCER, ‘producing’ the longest day time hours, before ‘receding’.

And if you live in the Southern Hemisphere, the ‘arch’ of the SUN is the smallest and lowest now, reaching Winter Solstice. (Your Summer Solstice is when, through the Earth tilt, the Sun is overhead the Tropic of Capricorn – longest days for you…
