Date Posted：06/09/2014 07:34 AMCopy HTML JUNE The month of Junebegins with a lot of watery energy and that can mean a lot of emotions flowingall over the place and literally wet weather which we have certainly seen inmany places. Oddly though, we have also seen a huge preponderance of fireproblems out west in particular. This is not a contradiction however since thefire issues are in part because of a lack of water.
June begins with aGrand Trine in water signs created by Saturn in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer andChiron in Pisces. Grand Trines do create flow in a big way and that can be goodor bad depending on what exactly is flowing. Traditional astrologers aresometimes too quick to talk glowingly about trines and too negativelyabout conjunctions, squares and oppositions. This is overly simplisticand we must look at how we want or don't want energy to manifest. If someone ishaving a problem with excess be it drugs, alcohol, food etc., a trine or GrandTrine can create an energetic where one can flow into the excess express moreeasily. On the other hand, a good square or opposition can complicate and blockthe flow to that undesired outcome. So let us not assume that any aspect isautomatically positive or negative at first glance.
It seemed like thewhole world was on fire in one way or another as the June flowers began gracingmy yard at Moonhaven. Free flowing rain has made my sanctuary a blooming jungleof jasmine and gardenias with the occasional magnolia blossom penetrating thesweet aromas. Soon the Angel Trumpets and roses will offer their intoxicatingaromas to the mix and what a delight that will be. The appearance of so manyfragrant blooms surrounding my space really uplifts my spirit
Very strong andpotent energies these days and it would seem that we light workers and empathsare having a harder time dealing with the changes which feel like constantlyshifting sand beneath my feet. So hard to get that fixed point in order to gainperspective. Being very Piscean, I probably do better than most with this kindof formlessness or lack of definition which this very watery energy offershowever having some boundaries for the flowing river never hurt anyone either.If you are feeling over whelmed more often than not, join the club. I thinkthis is part of having Jupiter in Cancer these many months.
Jupiter in Cancershould be doing good for this nation's economy as the USA has it's Sun inCancer.however with the strong Neptunian influence in Pisces it is hard to knowor trust anything that the media offers as truth about financial matters inparticular. More than any time that I can recall we are being asked to listento our own inner voice. This has always been a good idea but now it IS THE BESTIDEA. This is truly the best solution for dealing with a system that shares only"certain" things on the airwaves and discards more real news than itshows.
June 9 and Neptune,the Mermaid of the solar system begins her retrograde turn as she takes us evendeeper into the psychic and reflective waters of that mysterious realm. Like aSiren she calls us to seek out the more hidden and unknown aspects ofourselves. What will we find? Creativity, peace or even ecstasy there are aninfinite number of possibilities.
I invite all of youto allow yourselves to drift in that universal sea of consciousness that offersyou visions and miracles. Know that the time to make your visions your realityis here and that you can take a greater hand in manifesting the world that youwould want. More and more we are being invited to anchor a 5th DimensionalReality in place of our limited and limiting 3 Dimensional Reality. When wethink in terms of miracles, they live and are created in the 5th Dimension.Most of us do not live in that reality most of the time but I know that when Ioccupy that space the feelings are blissful. When we do healing work and allowSpirit to flow through us and see positive changes happen before our very eyes,we are in the 5th Dimension. I also know that when we are in that alteredstate, what we think manifests very quickly. Most important now to thinkpositively in terms of good solutions and infinite possibilities because morethan ever before we can join together and birth a new more harmonious andhumane world. Birth is a very tumultuous time and we are surely in the birthcanal as a people seeking to be reborn, very exciting and very scary too. Soimportant too to give each other the benefit of the doubt as we muddle throughour pathways to that potentially ecstatic point.
With Saturn inScorpio we are finding ourselves in a more contracted state needing to turninward and really figure out what is most important to each of us. This is howwe will gain perspective and that is so necessary now as we ascend this spiralof our evolution. Where and how do we want to spend our time, energy,resources? There are still miracles to create and co create. If we only watchthe NEWS we would think that the world has gone crazy with murders and violenceescalating daily yet this is only part of the picture. I think many are findingit harder and harder to live with the inequities that too many swallow as lifein 2014.
With thechallenging energies of the Grand Cardinal Cross and T Square still giving usthe proverbial kick in the consciousness, rebellion on many fronts is not onlyprobable but is happening as the status quo comes apart at the seams. I get thefeeling as I write that the energies are oddly enigmatic. Some who can't dealwith the intensity may go mad and be increasingly more violent while otherstake that same intensity and pay it forward and elevate the lives of everyonein their community! This is a time of great extremes and not only regarding theweather. We are being given the option to make radical changes in the way welive our lives be it in our careers[Capricorn], our relationships [Libra], homeand family[Cancer] and self expression [Aries] and it behooves us to pursuegood solutions.
The occult axiom,"As above so below" really applies here. There is connection betweenthe fires searing many acres in
On June 6 Mercurygoes stationary retrograde and on June 8th this ruler of all things mental willturn backwards. retrograde. By this time many of you know a bit about the"dreaded Mercury Retrograde." Of course the thing is that noastrological transit or aspect should be seen as negative. All transits canhave their blessings and curses and it all depends on how you choose to use theenergy. You have likely heard not to start anything new during this transit andthat is only part true. You do not want to start anything new if you areseeking permanence. If you don't mind checking out a new job, relationship.location to simply see how it feels, the results may not be so problematic.However if you are seeking to make some long term decisions, Merc retro is notfor you as you will simply not have all the information needed to make a sounddecision. It can even feel like the very things you need to know are hiddenfrom view possibly even deliberately.
During this timeMercury is in the mutable sign of Gemini most of the time and that can makethis time even more unstable and mentally challenging. Try to really listen towhat people say and not what you want them to say and expect that many willchange their minds about plans and details. Double and triple check for thebest results.
Clearly one cannotstop all activity for 3 weeks which is the usual length of the mercuryretrograde passage and it is a great time to tie up loose ends, finish projectslingering on the back burner and to gather up all the information that you needto make an informed choice on July 2 or 3 when Mercury is moving forward again.Ignoring these cycles is akin to pushing the river. So much better and easierto go with the flow when it is there to take you for a ride than to furiouslypaddle upstream without that helpful current. This is also not a good time tobuy anything electrical or major if you can help it.
One of the benefitsof the retrograde is that blasts from your past may come a calling so again be awareto take your time and try to have all three eyes open. Sometimes objects andfunds that have seemed lost may appear as if by magic. Jane Doe who owed you$1000 for 5 years may suddenly be flush and pay you back the $$$ you hadconsidered gone long ago.
Friday the 13th andwe have a rare Full Moon in the sign of Sagittarius. With the Sun in Geminiopposing the Sag Moon we are exploring the micro and macrocosm. With aretrograde Mercury also in Gemini, we may be forced to review old decisionsthat we have made over the last few years and see if they still fit theevolving you. There is a need to feel free and to expand and if your mind isholding you so tight that you feel too limited to even think of biggerpossibilities, it is time to break out of your self imposed prison.
Saturn is opposingVenus in Taurus so our relationships may be tending to feel more serious. This aspect might also herald more issues regarding Marriage Equality. Surelyit is high time that this becomes a non issue and that any couple who wants tomarry can feel free to do so. Full Moons tend to bring things to a boil andthis fiery Sagittarius Full Moon will be no different. The Grand Cross is stilllurking about albeit weakened as the planets move further away from each other yetstill effecting the overall template of world events.
June 21 is SummerSolstice, one of my most favorite Holy Days. As the Wheel turns once more wefind greater potential rewards as the Sun dips into the Cancerian waters.This is no time to play it safe although Cancer energy tends to bring out ourtimidity. You can expand your emotional scenery and it might even be a goodtime to play in the deep end of the pool for a change. The Summer Solsticeactually is a Fire festival so you may want to feel the fire in your heart asit is given the space to open more fully. We will be able to breathe air to theflames of love for sure by June 24 when lovely Venus enters the more mentalsign Gemini. We can feel much lighter now just don't analyze everything to death.
We close the monthwith a New Moon in Cancer which turns on the water works as it trines Go out and make ita good month!

We close the monthwith a New Moon in Cancer which turns on the water works as it trines Go out and make ita good month!
LET'S GET PERSONAL
ARIES - Stillfeeling that fire in the belly and adventure calls me. I can feel my talentsoffering themselves up to share more with others. My self confidence is shiningand I am loving the glow that I feel. Settling more into being me, the one thatI knew so well and have hidden. Look out world, this Aries has found her wayback to her liberation. Not really such a big thing, mainly being present ineach moment to live more fully and spending way less time on automatic pilot. Iam here. I am here.
TAURUS - Love itwhen Venus is in my sign. Wold be fine with me to have it just stay in Taurusall the time. After all Venus is the ruling planet of Taurus and it would begood for everyone! OK I am not the Taurian that won't let go and share. I willjust enjoy this passage fully and savor each sensual moment. Why am I seeing achocolate fountain? yes there are other things to savor as well and I willsurely find all of them before Venus floats into Gemini on the 24th. For nowVenus you are mine.
GEMINI - Oh yeahVenus will be in my sign for the last part of the month so I had best plan somegood parties and get out my invitations early to make sure all my friendscan get there, summer vacations being what they are and Merc retro to bootwhich can always mess up my plans. Better do something with this Mercuryretrograde because it is in my sign. Best get all my communications reallyclear and the ducks in a row. I am going to try very hard to say what I meanand mean what I say. Hope others can meet me there too.
CANCER - Idon't even need to look at my chart to know what a powerfully emotional timethis is. I feel the pains of the world way too often. Are they mine or ours orwas there another shooting or forest fire. Hard to be an empathic CancerMoonchild who is wide awake and trying to dream into a more elevated way ofbeing in this world. I won't be an ostrich plunking my head in the sand andneither will I let myself marinate in the what ifs and harsh vibrations of this3rd Dimensional reality.
LEO - Ah the summerheat is upon us once again in
VIRGO - Oh great,Mercury retrograde again! So much of the energies that abound are not like mineto begin with, way too watery and undefined, hard for me to just go with theflow even though I know that i should get more comfortable in that realmalready. Neptune in Pisces has been soaking my earthy self for years now andwhile it has brought me insightful vision, the daily nuts and bolts feel kindof weak.OK no more whining, time to get my ducks in a row so that when July 2arrives I am ready to go. I have learned the power of good timing and how touse it to my advantage.
LIBRA - Please,let's everyhbody just play fair for heaven's sake. Is that asking too much? WeLibrans crave equanimity and although it comes so rarely out in the world wecan at least try to have it reflected in our own lives whenever possible. It ismy goal to never take more than I am willing to give and I sure would like tofeel that reciprocity coming back to me. When dealing with intimates however Idon't want to feel like I am constantly tallying up points and hope that bysetting a good example and keeping an open heart I will get the balance that Iseek.
SCORPIO - I amtired of complaining about Saturn being in my sign. It just is what it is andit is about time that I learned to make the best of it, and there is a best toit too. Focus is the gift of Saturn and while it can make me feel way toocontracted at times, it can and does keep me from following any new interestdown the rabbit hole. Saturn has offered me many ways to know myself moredeeply and for that I am grateful even if it has not been pleasant. Remembertoo that I am a pleasure lover and no matter what the astrologers areprognosticating, I will seek out the good times whenever I can.
SAGITTARIUS - Whoahbig Full moon for me on Friday the 13th! What shall we do to celebrate? Themore exotic, the better I like it and given the lunar potential, I will takethe next pass on the magic carpet ride of my dreams. Hm, I am feeling the warmturquoise waters of
CAPRICORN - Do Ialways have to be the sign that talks about reality, this one, and breaks it alldown in the material plane? Yes I know that its my nature and I accept that. Ihave even grown to accept Pluto breathing down my neck like some demandingdragon that always holds my feet to the fire of consequences when I try tostray off my path to transformation. Yes I want to work towards my highest goodand get gold stars all over my karma report card but doesn't a person get totake a break sometime?
AQUARIUS - I havefelt free as a bird for a long time with no astrological transits to encumber me.Infinite possibilities work for me and do not frighten me like they do others.I actually find it harder when the road is all laid out in front of me and thenI tend to rebel which doesn't always serve me. It is good for me to be withunusual people and those from other cultures because I always feel a bit likean alien in whatever group I plant myself. So odd, I love groups of like mindedothers yet I abhor group think and anything that would curtail individualfreedom.
PISCES - I seek thesea of tranquility as I float here over Her pristine waters. Neptune and I getalong just fine and there is nothing better than feeling like I have gotten intune with her flow and can groove along with it.Chiron on the other hand isshowing me day after day how my open and unbounded nature can cause medifficulties when my empathic self absorbs too much and feels too much. Beingthis sensitive feels so wonderful most of the time but when I am feeling thedarker harsher energies of the planet, I want to run and hide under my covers.There is a balance and I intend to discover that mojo.
June, andeverything’s coming up roses—not to mention strawberries. (If you live in warmclimates, you’re already enjoying both!)
Pickingstrawberries? Leave the stems on and get them to the refrigerator fast toincrease their longevity. If fresh berries abound, try making this classicStrawberry Shortcake for an easy summer dessert.

http://Goddessschool.com/Paganstudies/index.html Mantras For Aging
Many people feelunhappy, health-wise and security-wise, after 60 years of age, owing to thediminishing importance given to them and their opinions. But, it need notbe so, if only we understand the basic principles of life and follow themscrupulously. Here are ten mantras to age gracefully and make life afterretirement pleasant.
1. *Never say “I am aged.”* There are three ages, chronological, biologicaland psychological. The first is calculated based on our date of birth;the second is determined by the health conditions; the third is how old we feel weare. While we don't have control over the first, we can take care of ourhealth with good diet, exercise and a cheerful attitude. A positiveattitude and optimistic thinking can reverse the third age.
2. *Health is Wealth.* If you really love your kith and kin, taking care ofyour health should be your priority. Thus, you will not be a burden tothem. Have an annual health check-up and take the prescribed medicinesregularly. Do take health insurance coverage.
3. *Money is Important.* Money is essential for meeting the basic necessities oflife, keeping good health and earning family respect and security. Don'tspend beyond your means even for your children. You have lived for themall through and it is time you enjoyed a harmonious life with yourspouse. If your children are grateful and they take care of you, you areblessed. But, never take it for granted.
4. *Relaxation and Recreation.* The most relaxing and recreating forces are ahealthy religious attitude, good sleep, music and laughter. Have faith inGod/dess, learn to sleep well, love good music and see the funny side of life.
5. *Time is Precious.* It is almost like holding a horse's reins. When theyare in your hands, you can control them. Imagine that every day you are bornagain. Yesterday is a cancelled cheque. Tomorrow is a promissorynote. Today is ready cash – use it profitably. Live this moment;live it fully, now, in thepresent time.
6. *Changeis the only Permanent Thing.* We should accept change – it is inevitable. The only way to make sense out of change is to join in the dance. Change hasbrought about many pleasant things. We should be happy that our childrenare blessed.
7. *EnlightenedSelfishness.* All of us are basically selfish. Whatever we do, we expectsomething in return. We should definitely be grateful to those who stood byus. But, our focus should be on the internal satisfaction and thehappiness we derive by doing good for others, without expecting anythingin return. Perform a random act of kindness daily.
8. *Forget andForgive.* Don’t be bothered too much about others' mistakes. We are notspiritual enough to show our other cheek when we are slapped in one. Butfor the sake of our own health and happiness, let us forgive and forgetthem. Otherwise, we will be only increasing our blood pressure.
9. *Everything has a Purpose.* Take life as it comes. Accept yourself as youare and also accept others for what they are. Everybody is unique and isright in his own way.
10. *Overcome theFear of Death.* We all know that one day we have to leave this world. Still we are afraid of death. We think that our spouse and children willbe unable to withstand our loss. But the truth is no one is going to diefor you; they may be depressed for some time. Time heals everything andthey will go on. |
