The Sun may be in Gemini but Mercury, Venus, and Mars are all in Taurus.  We can enjoy the communicative and mobile energy of Gemini with the depth of the Taurus experience. 

With massive energy building in Aquarius at this time, doorways, often imagined yet never before available, are opening for communication and the building of relationships.

Consider Twitter, definitely an Aquarian Event.  The speed at which it has caught on certainly reflects the effects of Jupiter.  We see the healing effects of Chiron in the connections that are made and Neptune is clearly represented by the sharing arts and the ability to create an illusionary self. 

As we move towards mid June we have the opportunity to align in faith and give our Nation a boost.  Everything is set to shift.  Add your energy to the positive side of the equation, think your best thoughts and create the best world you can imagine.

Stand in your faith, allow yourself to heal through growth and allow the magic of this time to build in your life.

Last month I spoke of truth and reality like real things.  They are actually intangible and subjective.  Now we get to the concept of paradox, which if played with for a while, will lead to amazing understandings.

Some of these understandings have within them actual Truths.  They are fun to look for and enjoyable to find.  Reality is different to every soul that observes it.  Yet within is a place where we all meet and share experiences.

If you want to more clearly see yourself in a situation, obtain a greater understanding of it and get a picture of the greater reality, here is a technique to try:

Close your eyes and step back in increments and see yourself and everyone in the situation as a whole person.  Look at the energy with your third eye (intuition or imaginary forces).  If you do this when the event is happening, look sideways out of the corner of your eyes using your peripheral vision.  This is a long process so allow at least an hour to do something effective.

Exhale slowly and steadily and notice the relationship connection lines.  Maintain your focus and steady breathing.  This is your world and these are the ways you create it.  --Don’t try to force it.

On the connection lines of relationship, who is attached? What does the line show you about the relationship? Is it strong, healthy, frayed, stretched or enthusiastic? Look for allegiances and karmic ties.

Now focus on the individual auras and energies of each person.  Are they excited, distracted, tired, anxious, worried, fearful, showing righteous indignation or conflict? Also note your own energy and feelings.  Be honest, it is “only” your heart you are wishing to gain a greater understanding of.

Keep your breathing slow and steady.  Allow people involved to become fuller in your image of them as a soul.

The things I love about this exercise, beyond the growth and insight immediately gained, is the compassion that it unlocks in my heart, the energy it frees in my life and the freedom it gives my thoughts.

Full Moon at 17° of Sagittarius; Sun at 17° of Gemini; both squares to Saturn in Virgo; an intense T-square.  We are pushed to grow.  Take the opportunity when it comes.

With Uranus filling out the T-square, it becomes a grand cross, mutable.  While engaged with the Aquarian Stellium, life could become a little intense if you are still trying to force the old paradigms to work in your life.

The Part of Fortune makes a lovely balance to Saturn in this Grand Cross.  Drop what is no longer applicable to becoming your authentic self.

We all need to refine the way we interact.  This is a time when it will be easy to implement new ways of being.  Try responding a little differently, behaving unexpectedly, just surprise yourself, re-invention is easy.

Venus gets to Taurus, her earthly home.  She has been in Aries since Feb 2nd, an abnormally long stay for Venus anywhere.  Aries is her fall, which makes the stay seem even longer.  There are so many ways to fall in love, experience new things and find out whom we are.  The best part is, we have had an opportunity to find the new things with the interest to motivate us.  Now Venus has moved into her own domain and we can sort out what our real interest are and begin pursuing them.

Mercury enters Gemini, home at last.  For interesting thoughts, short trips around and lively conversations there is no place like it.

Enjoy this lively time.  It is easy to extend yourself, meet new people, visit with siblings, and reconnect with old friends.  Take that drive or hike you have been meaning to do.  Try something new; this is an excellent time to get reacquainted with the children in your life.

Jupiter stations retrograde; we are ready to stop expanding and begin looking at what we can reasonably maintain.  Spend this time taking inventory not only physically but also morally, ethically and spiritually.  This is a process so take your time.  You just need to get this all worked out so you can gain mastery in your life, are ready to keep everything in balance, ready when he turns around and goes direct in mid October.

The Sun enters Cancer just after midnight for the Summer Solstice.

The Sun, Vesta, Vulcan are all at zero°, a Reset.  I love it.

Venus conjunct Mars in Taurus; this is a wonderful time for relationships.

Moon and Mercury are very friendly aspects to help get the family talking and playing together.

Remember this chart sets a tone for the backdrop of life until the Autumn Equinox.

Speaking of friendly, playful aspects, Mid Summers Night, 21^st, is a time for Fairy Folk to make appearances.  Bring a treat and wait (around an ash tree).  Radiate some enthusiasm and speak your desire to make contact out loud.

New Moon, 1° 30" Cancer  ̶- the Sun and Moon will oppose Pluto at the gates through which we enter and leave this world.

This is a World Point of great significance.  Look for news about changes in resources and security.  The decisions made at this time will have more of an impact in our lives.  Be especially careful to be supportive of friends and family now.  This New Moon is a good time to check and make sure your home is safe and secure.
