SUMMER SOLSTICE

Today, June 21, 2023 @ 10:57 EDT, we celebrate the summer solstice in the Northern hemisphere. This powerful solar energy can recharge our spirits, minds and bodies.

 

All things are energy and this energy is interconnected. Some are quite aware of these influential external energies. With or without this awareness however all living things are affected by the position of the planets at their birth, by the continual movement of the planets through life, by the influence of the rotation of our earth including the changing seasons and any other shifts that occur in nature.

 

When guided by spirit/our higher self (call it what you will), we live our truth, during the easy flow and the life lessons.

 

Take advantage of the strong solar energies of the Summer Solstice to push forward. Use the more aggressive energies of the Sun to catapult forward and allow yourself to bloom into your own true beauty. Rise above the chatter of your thinking mind and allow life’s energies. See the world around you for what it is without judgement.

 

As with the Sun currently at its fullest potential (from our earthly position,) you too can allow all your inner power and beauty to radiate out. Express your true self as there is nothing more perfect or authentic.  By allowing your true authentic self to bloom, each and every other living thing that your energy touches will benefit.

 

What a glorious time of year.

 

Allow yourself to mirror the seasons. We have just experienced the season of wonderful renewal. We hopefully have worked hard to create buds of promise. Now is the time to allow those buds to bear the fruit of our efforts. This beauty and abundance will be seen and experienced by all who share this garden of life with us.

 

Happy Summer Solstice!

WHO ARE YOU REALLY?

Beyond your human vehicle, how would you describe who you are?

 

Do not define yourself by your accomplishments or what you deem as failures. These are outside of you, so you are neither of these. You are not your character traits, even though this makes up you as an individual. These are learned things, so they are not you.

 

It is hard to describe who we are (inside, your true essence) isn’t it?

 

Many of us believe that we are qualities, accomplishments and/or shortcomings but deep down inside we are not these events or learned things. We are much more than these, something more profound. The answer is found within the deepest recesses of our being.

 

Furthermore, upon reflection what is it that we can call our own?

 

Many portraits of our personality are painted by each individual that we encounter. We are someone different to everyone we encounter. We are the only one that described ourselves as we do. We are the only one that knows us as we do from every perspective. But, do we see ourselves clearly?

 

“I am” describes us well although it has little substance even though it says it all!

 

We want a clear definition of our innate self, our true identity and the core of our being. Would this be spirit?

 

Does this resonate with what we perceive ourselves to be?

 

Are we part of the whole?

 

Are we a whole?

 

Are we complete?

 

I guess we will find these answers when we begin to question our identity and our journey and the why behind being here.

 

For certain, you are more than what shows on the surface and what we identity with which varies from day to day and our experience. We are ever evolving and perhaps the final stage comes on our last day or beyond. Seriously, who really knows!

 

The door is always open to self-discovery, and it can be found through honest self-reflection and a continued want to understand.

 

I leave you with this question, “If you were to define yourself what would you say?”

SUN IN CANCER JUNE 22, 2023

On June 22, 2023 the Sun moves from the Mutable, Air sign Gemini into the Cardinal, Water sign Cancer.

 

Those with their Sun in Cancer will be experiencing a Solar Return on the exact day that the Sun is in the position that it was in when they were born. This will apply to all people who have their Sun in Cancer, but the date will vary for everyone.

 

Those with their Moon in Cancer, their Ascendant in the sign of Cancer or those with an emphasis on the fourth house will also have some of the same character traits that will be mentioned in this post.

 

The Sun sign is who we are inside, the Ascendant is the way we present ourselves to the public, (what people see), the fourth house carries with it the general theme of Cancer although it will be influenced greatly by the energies of the planets found within its boarders.

 

Those with this positioning are emotionally inclined and have a difficult time not releasing their emotions, although they can hide them when they put up their shell of protection. Some Cancerians consider this their weakness, while others who know themselves well know that their emotional interaction is actually a strong character trait that they have in abundance.

 

These individuals are nurturing, caring, sensitive and often intuitive and interpret life through their feels rather than mentally. They evaluate their life circumstances by how they feel under certain situations. They often rely on their sensitivity and can usually rely on this intuitive feedback. Their feeling nature is highly developed.

 

Family and close friends, which they could call the family of friends, are important to them.  They will nurture and take care of these people and offer their emotional support whenever needed.  They will protect the family and stand up for those in need. However, Cancerians should learn to not get overly involved in the situations surrounding them as they feel what others feel (maybe not as deeply as their counterpart Pisces but deeply).

 

The home environment must be a place of retreat and they will surround themselves with comfort and peaceful conditions. They need a place where they can recharge their emotional batteries and the home environment must provide this. Their home is their sanctuary and their safe haven. A warm home with perhaps a fireplace and close to nature with water access is important for their well-being and they will strive to have this and offer this to those they love.

 

Most Cancerians are caring and compassionate individuals and would do well working with others in a nurturing environment such as a hospital or nursing home. Their sensitivity is a great asset if they do not take on the concerns of those around them and make them personal.

WINDOWS OF OPPORTUNITY IN THE MOMENT

There are times when the energies seem to enhance growth and opportunities to enter our lives. We feel blessed when these moments present themselves. It is important to utilize what is available to us. Sometimes things just fall in place but other times we must generate activity to allow these prospects to flourish.

 

These are opportunities for energies to flow and in recognizing them as such, be grateful. Being truly grateful opens the door for more of this type of energy.

 

Sometimes these opportunities seem few and far between as we get caught up in life’s lessons and not its blessings. But why do we have to label?

 

Perhaps a relationship ends, or we lose our job, or we make a commitment to something that does not seem to work out well at the moment. The relationship ending or losing our job opens the door to opportunity for something even better, something we would have not taken advantage of if the ending had not occurred.

 

Lessons are our greatest windows of opportunity to learn and in general we do not forget what took place, becoming more adept at moving through or recognizing these challenges when they confront us.

 

It is not always easy to see opportunities when we are dealing with challenges. However, in many cases, the lessons learned become valuable tools in our life’s quest.

 

We are truly the masters of our destiny and sometimes we just need to change focus or open ourselves up so that these opportunities become available. We must learn and will eventually achieve what is needed. Use what is available to you and recognize what is within your grasp.

NEPTUNE SEXTILE MERCURY

This post relates to Natal Neptune sextile to Mercury but can also be related to Transiting Neptune sextile your N Mercury. The transit is temporary. The natal positioning is part of your life’s makeup and will be activated through transits of planets.

 

Mercury is about our mental processing and how our mind works.

 

This favorable sextile speaks of opportunities to use your mental experience in a positive manner. You likely can visualize your concepts due to the influence of Neptune. The imagination would be strong, and it could be used in many ways. Written material would be an excellent outlet as would public speaking or speaking to the public about information that might be attached to the mystical side of life and spirituality.

 

Inspiration can be a strong point and we can use our intuitive perception to gain access to other regions of the mind. Mediation can hold great promise and psychic interpretation would be strong. The mind would be open to inspiration and heightened to receiving uploads from outside sources. We can be open to automatic writing, having the ability to tap into resources unavailable to most others.

 

The creative potential is strong but much depends on the houses involved with this sextile. The houses are areas of life where this intuitive insight can be utilized. If for example Neptune were in the 12^th house and Mercury were in the 10^th house, this may speak of using our intuition to enable and use our ideas within our career. Perhaps we work in the medical field, and this would be particularly possible if our Neptune were in the 10^th and/or Cancer on the midheaven. We could then use our abilities to assist in knowing which way to move ahead with a patient.

 

The creative potential is strong and visualization techniques are enhanced with this position.

 

How will you use your creative abilities as you move forward in your life’s quest if Neptune sextile Mercury is in your chart?

GEMINI NEW MOON JUNE 18, 2023

On Sunday, June 18, 2023 we will be experiencing a New Moon @ 26° Gemini. The energy of the New Moon suggests the start of something new. The house placement of the New Moon in the natal chart will define the area of life involved. As the New Moon evolves to the Full Moon some six months from now, it will be a time to harvest the results of the efforts you are now beginning.

 

In the sign of Gemini, the learning or teaching expressions are enhanced. It is quite possible to take on more than one subject at a time and you will likely find that you are more versatile and adaptable to change during this 6-month period.

 

Perhaps you might put together a class ready for students at the end of the cycle. You may begin a course yourself or take classes or decide what you want to initial regarding your schooling. Perhaps you take on a project at work and bring in others to help orchestrate the outcome which you will present to your superiors. Perhaps you decide to entertain travel plans part of which may be wedding plans. You now begin to organize and set up interviews and put the plans together. In December or January your plans come to completion, and you should be ready to move forward.

 

Be prepared for changes. What you begin now may go through many alterations along the way. Be adaptable and move with the flow of new ideas coming to mind. This is an ongoing project, and you may not have an exact idea of where it will finish but be open to move ahead and see where it goes.

 

You are more versatile now and have great flexibility when it comes to these plans. However follow-through is important or plans may not reach their culmination point. Sticking with the goal even though making changes along the way is suggested.

 

To see if this New Moon has an influence in your life look at your natal chart’s potential. Do you have planets or angles near this position either by conjunction or opposition?

 

Mercury go retrograde in September for a short period and on Jan 1, 2024 suggesting making plans during these period but not taking action?

 

Are there other influences in the chart suggesting that this may not be a good time to advance?

 

Squares and Oppositions to natal positioning must be taken into consideration. Saturn will be in retrograde during this time, which is a good as plans often work better during its retrograde period.  Move ahead if you feel comfortable, but don’t hold back because of fear of failure or fear of abandonment. See where things take you but begin now.

MAGIC MOMENT

There are times when life events just seem to fall into place. What has not worked previously suddenly begins to take shape much to our dismay.

 

Some of these moments are worldly and others are not so worldly, in fact they are other worldly. They might be considered mystical or enlightening. Sometimes a door opens and a light shines not only on us but through us. We make connections that we never thought possible and life will never be the same again.

 

These are truly magic moments. They arrived because we were ready and able to accept them as they are. They are not common, and it may be a long time until the next magic moment comes our way. Embrace what has happened and be grateful.

 

Special gifts come to us in many different form. They can be a blessing even when they initially do not appear that way.

 

Sometimes we lose a job that we thought we could never replace. However something new comes along that we never thought was possible. Sometimes a relationship ends but once again it ended because that individual was no longer suitable for our evolutionary growth. Now someone new beyond our expectation walks into our lives.

 

It can take time to move beyond a specific life situation. During the transition do some self-evaluation and inner reflection. The timing is ripe for it.

 

Magic Moments can be rare. Take advantage and realize how fortunate we are that they transpire. For those that have yet to experience this in their life, open your heart! Let life in and believe that you deserve one of these moments. Only you hold yourself back. If you believe it will never happen, you are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. On the other side of the coin, if you believe it will happen, you are also creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Be open to experiencing one of these moments.
