June 2017

A “planetary clash involving Mars, Pluto, Jupiter, Uranus and Mercury” occurs this month mirroring the conflict and drama of past April.  Amidst the tension and chaos we need to try to keep our cool — many power struggles will abound.  The “opposition between Pluto and Mars – the god of power versus the god of war” will be plenty uncomfortable for most of us as we witness the tension among “world leaders or political parties as those in power behave like bullies” and seek to outdo each other. Many of us are working “behind the scenes to influence matters in positive ways”.  We can pray for peace and “meditate on love and compassion” to assist the efforts for world peace.  Remember to call on your angels to help you transmute the negative energies.  “This kind of spiritual power is the highest expression of Pluto.”  “Uranus squares to Pluto, Mars and Jupiter represent the need to cut free and find autonomy, independence and freedom.” This powerful, dramatic T-square bears the potential for liberation and opportunity.  Within this alignment we can more easily move into liberation!  If you’re embroiled in conflict, you may need to decide if you need to stand up for yourself or walk away.  If being used or misused, NOW is the time to take a stand!  Conflicts can “magically disappear or at least become manageable”; ask your angels for help.  A full moon on July 9th with Mars in opposition and Jupiter squaring both sets of planets, this alignment can bring tensions and anger to a peak.  If mindful of this before hand, you can possibly steer clear of volatile reactions, and ask yourself “whether there’s a similar past situation triggering the current fear, anxiety or anger.  The moon often represents the past and repressed emotions.  We can help ourselves by meditating or thinking on the “highest possible outcome” and setting our intentions thereon.  The new moon on July 23rd offers us the “chance to create a more positive situation”.  You will carry  your thoughts and intentions from July 9th forward to July 23rd “effectively planting your seeds for the future”.  So, “be mindful of your thoughts,  feelings and mental pictures” from full to new moon phase, creating “positive mental images and strive to find the lesson in any difficulty or power struggle”. Intentions carry great strength!  Become aware of and firmly set your intentions!  Let go of the past!  Find peace in the NOW!   Plant seeds of love, patience and contentment.  It only takes a small shift of consciousness – to decide – to choose – to feel Joy in Today.  Believe all good things can happen!

Venus, Mercury and Mars move into Taurus, Gemini and Cancer signs respectively, early in June and the planets are moving quickly; the Sun joins  Mercury on June 21st, moving into Cancer, and the month seems to fly by.  A full moon on June 9th is aligned with Saturn and squared by Neptune, which brings in themes of confusion, responsibility and commitment — time to face the facts and deal with delusions!  On June 10th Jupiter turns direct, and should make it easier to focus on moving forward.  Saturn urges us to deal with the details, “face the facts and to be responsible, structured and disciplined”.  We need to “get real about what we want”, form clear intentions and move forward knowing our motivations, attaining our goals and desires.  Mars squares Jupiter and opposes Pluto, with a new moon on June 24th, which can present difficulties for several days.    “This alignment is classic for people overstepping their bounds, going overboard, biting off more than they can chew, or believing something is possible (or easy) when really it isn’t, at least not without a cost.  It is easy to become over-zealous, regarding something that you’re passionate about when these three planets are at odds with each other, and the darkest side of this is fanaticism.  We could see this acted out on our world stage in terrorism, bullying tactics, angry outbursts, or a total lack of tolerance of races and religions.  Strongly religious people will be more likely to try to enforce their beliefs — strong beliefs are likely to be exaggerated at this time.”  We should be mindful to try to not overstep our bounds with others and also with ourselves, physically, mentally, emotionally.  Testing our limits can leave us exhausted, depleted or injured.  Instead of all the striving, we can take it easier; practice moderation and more self-love.  “Moderation is the word for this new moon, alongside the Mars-Pluto-Jupiter alignment.”  This planetary event is awesome for new beginnings in new directions, but we also need to combine “enthusiasm with prudence, motivation with balance, the desire to get ahead with consideration for others, and optimism with a reality check”.   Let’s form the intention to ditch the baggage, get clear, be positive, breathe deeply and practice joyfulness.
