June 2022

Mars changes signs from Aries to Taurus, a slightly incompatible sign; “Uranus is also in Taurus, and will align with Mars, the planet governing energy, desire & motivation, toward the end of the month, possibly generating a few fireworks. Uranus makes several helpful aspects with other planets throughout the first half of the month, bringing opportunities for progressive change.” Mars enters Taurus on 7/5, urging some of us (especially Taureans) with its fiery energy toward some new project or endeavor. “Mars in the fixed signs of Leo, Scorpio & Aquarius may feel more tension, perhaps surfacing in relationships, and they must work hard not to unleash their anger or frustrations on others”, but to address the irritations and redirect that energy into useful improvements. “Any unacknowledged frustrations are likely to emerge when Mars & Uranus meet in the last week of July, and may feel very disruptive, rebellious & potentially destructive. “Tensions may brew, protests may increase, but the more conscious we are of ‘our stuff’, the less likely we are to have explosive outbursts”, and be able to handle our feelings more appropriately. “Mars & Uranus work better when they have a cause to fight for; what changes would you love to see in the world? Breakthroughs are what the alignments in July are all about.” The full moon on 7/13 is favorably-aspected by Uranus to help us move forward, breaking out of old patterns. A conjunction between Mars & Uranus with the north node has a lot of energy for changing direction in radical ways that feel like destiny at work.

“The Moon’s node node in Taurus trine Pluto in Capricorn, Pluto square Mars in Aries, and Vulcanus in early Leo, will shine the light of truth to balance the karmic scales of creation. Saturn is in late Aquarius and squares the Moon’s node in Taurus and Scorpio, bringing much harmonizing vibrational energy that pours through the stratosphere, permeating all dimensions thru all timelines, influencing & affecting, being felt electromagnetically by the nervous system of all beings on planet Earth, bringing about various responses individually & collectively. Find wise ways to self-soothe through the coming months of 2022, as we traverse this transformational period. Long-buried secrets, wisdom, and information buried deep within people’s psyche now surface to be faced, processed and forgiven. This is a world-wide phenomenon that will affect cultures, governments, corporations, and spiritual & religious groups, as well as philosophies and belief systems. Those resistant to acknowledging the traumas & PTSD that have plagued humanity for eons, will draw to them situations for revelations and soul growth, consciously or unconsciously.”

The T-square between Neptune in late Pisces, Mercury in Gemini, and the galactic center in Sagittarius, allows us to change our perceptions & gain clarity about our life experiences. “Insecurities will tend to be expressed thru blame & judgment with accusations and challenges in regard to what is considered the truth. Many will opt to narrow their perceptions of life and the world in their desire to attain & maintain some semblance of control. This may occur individually or communally with corporations, countries, ethnic groups and religions. The outcome will be chaos, confusion, and conflict — as the will of some is forced onto others in their desire to eliminate all differences. The full moon in late Capricorn, with Capricorn conjunct Pluto on 7/13/22, signals a seeking to empower the dreams of unconditional love, clear communication, more intimate connection, and honest cooperation on planet Earth among all kingdoms, throughout all dimensions & timelines. This will manifest heaven on Earth and spirit into matter in 3D reality.”

“This is a perfect time to seek harmony with one’s destiny by transforming ancient fears, worries, demons, into empowering, supportive, and loving allies thru releasing ancient traumas & wounds. A grand water trine between the Sun in late Cancer, Neptune in Pisces, and the Moon’s south node in Scorpio, assisting the transformation of all ancient beliefs, blocks & fears. This shines the light of truth on positive expressions of nurturance & unconditional love. This is a powerful time of flow, release & transformation of all fears, confusion, and chaos into surrender of the soul-heart’s journey of loving growth and expansion.” Surrendering to our higher power helps develop an inner sense of knowing, wisdom, and trust in one’s self, life path & destiny. “There is a new moon in early Leo and the Moon trine Jupiter in Aries on 7/28/22 activates an expansive spirit-fire initiation of truth within the self, expanding outward. With Mercury in Leo and trine Chiron in Aries, a great many soul wounds may be transformed & healed, and brings the potential for deeper intimacy with the self & others in all types of relationships: personal, professional, community & planetary. With Saturn in Aquarius and opposite Mercury in Leo, the power of the word, sounding, toning, speaking brings destined harmonization at a soul-heart level for all. The grand square between the Moon’s node in Taurus and Scorpio, Saturn in Aquarius, and Mercury in Leo helps form a crucible with a solid foundation based on harmony, truth, trust, and clear communication with all kingdoms throughout the cosmos. People have the ability to be like a harmonizing tuning-fork for the planet wherever they are on Earth; humans act as conduits, so every thought, feeling, and deed feeds the balanced reciprocity for the self and All That Is, continuing to empower these life-affirming energies for all.” So, it is vital that we hold the highest thoughts & intentions for our lives & for others’ well-being also. We are in an extended period of great transformation! Think & dream positive thoughts & aspirations for all. We are rising into 4th & 5th dimensional consciousness, and the old structures must fall and be swept away to make space for the new. We will experience ‘growing pains’, as GAIA, Mother Earth labors to birth the New Earth into existence.

Supreme Court majority justices are aggressively asserting their power, flaunting it against the will of the voters. We need to balance the top-heavy conservative court. On June 23, 2022, SCOTUS in a 6-3 ruling widened the rights of gun owners by ruling against New York City and other municipalities & states that have passed laws restricting concealed carry of weapons. This infringes ‘States Rights’. Justice Breyer dissented, “Courts should consider whether modern firearms regulations are consistent with the Second Amendment’s contextual & historical understanding”. Then on June 25, Biden signed into law the first major gun reform in 3 decades, passed with bipartisan votes in the House & Senate.

Another ruling on 6/23, (6-3 vote) ruled that police officers can’t be sued under a federal civil rights law, for failing to read Miranda Rights to detainees, after they’ve violated the civil rights of criminal ‘suspects’, nullifying a person’s 5th & 6th Amendment right to NOT incriminate oneself, and right to legal representation when detained. The ‘Third Enforcement Act’ aka the ‘KKK Act’, was passed in 1871, one provision of which allows people to sue in civil court over civil rights violations, including 4th Amendment, unreasonable search & seizures. *If stopped, ask if you are free to leave, if not, invoke your right to speak to a lawyer, then remain silent.*

SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade on 6/24/22, at a federal level, making abortions illegal with no exception for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest. Nearly 70 percent of Americans polled wanted ‘Roe’ left intact, but the Catholic evangelical ideologue justices have overturned a 50-year landmark ruling that established rights for women’s bodily autonomy & reproductive freedom. Justice Clarence Thomas suggested that, “The Court should use the same rationale to reconsider Griswold, Lawrence & Obergefell, rulings that now protect contraception, same-sex consensual relationships and same-sex marriage”. He stopped short of adding: inter-racial marriage. What rights will next be forfeited? We need separation of church & state NOW! Abortion rights will now be determined at the state level. President Biden admonished that restoring abortion rights is up to the voters, but his administration will seek to protect access to ‘medication abortion’, and could argue in court that the U.S. FDA’s approval of mifepristone, pre-empts state’s restrictions, meaning federal authority outweighs state action. Women would be able to purchase the drug online, making it difficult to enforce restriction attempts. Attorney General, Merrick Garland declared, “States may not ban mifepristone based on disagreement with the FDA’s expert judgment about its safety & efficacy”.

“This is a time of turmoil & upheaval, astrologically speaking, we are going through a very intense Pluto return period in the United States, which looks as if all we have known and loved is being destroyed or taken away from us. This happens every 247 years or so, and is a time of major intense transformation. The long-term event, (which has another 2.5 or 3.5 years to feel (and reel) from such effects) is on the cosmic docket, and includes a particularly intense 5 to 6-year period, and the effects of it are felt before, during & after Pluto comes back to the exact same position it was in 247 years ago, in 1775/76, which led to a major revolution that turned life upside down in many ways and brought about the creation of the United States of America. It was a time of intense fighting to throw off the tyranny and controlling authoritarianism of the British government and resulted in a brand new nation, founded on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is a time for all you know & depend on to be knocked down and rebuilt, transforming it into something new & better. Power struggles prevail during Pluto returns. People will finally balk, revolt and overturn those in authority who attempt to control them or manipulate those below them. That’s happening on many levels on the planet. Pluto often reveals the underbelly of all that’s going on, so don’t be surprised if we see more & more exposes’, revealing what leaders and others have done in their quest for total power and control. All that we’re seeing on the world stage is also taking place within us. On some level, all that is in us creates all that we’re seeing out there.”

“Many experience this ‘out of control’ energy by feeling overwhelmed. And the more this feeling continues, the more people will jump ship by leaving their jobs, spouses or bodies. This is a period of major change for the whole collectively as well as for every individual contributing to the whole. We need to get in touch with what’s going on inside us and clean that up, getting in touch with our emotions and telling the truth about what we’re feeling and feel motivated to do. It’s hard for many people to think for themselves, as they want to be liked or fit in, and most people don’t want to think for themselves; it’s easier to just swallow what your family members & friends have swallowed. That way, you won’t be ousted and you can feel safe. There are beliefs promulgated by some in the media that are part of an agenda or entity or entities who want all the power and control over others that they can get. If you aren’t aware of such ploys, you can pray for discernment, and your higher self will guide you to the information you need to free yourself from the tyranny & power grabs taking place in the world of which we might be currently unaware. Clean up your act, and start expressing feeling honestly without blame. Let go of the feelings that are keeping you from creating the reality you truly want. Be kind to others & support them in doing the same. We must start focusing on peace & harmony, rather than on war & chaos. Sharing words & thoughts of abundance & caring help us form the intention to draw those experiences into our life, and to manifest the potential goodness life has to offer. There’s a tremendous potential to create a world that works for all of us. The bad we see now is part of the purging of the aspects of ‘old consciousness’ that attracted all this, but it’s on the way out. Pluto makes current structures crash & burn, but then the phoenix rises from the ashes, and a true mystical transformation is yet to come. Have faith, Trust in a new & better world. It is coming, and trust that it is worth being here at this time to witness it all.”

On June 1, 2022, it was reported there had already been 233 mass shootings (4 or more people shot or killed) in America this year; that was before the guy in Tulsa, OK, on 6/2, shot & killed 4 people at an outpatient surgery clinic, including the surgeon who recently performed surgery on the shooter, who then shot himself. He had purchased the AR-15 on the way to the clinic. There were other mass shootings on 6/2; we’re averaging 2 or more daily. On 5/24/22, an 18-year-old, white male shooter (the usual suspect) killed 19 young, mainly Hispanic students & 2 teachers at Robb Elementary school in Uvalde, TX. In OK & TX, and some other states, there’s no waiting period to buy a semi-automatic weapon. On 5/14, in Buffalo, NY, 10 people were murdered & 3 wounded at a Tops supermarket, in a Black neighborhood; the 18 yr-old, white male shooter, left behind a racist-manifesto of ‘replacement theory’. That racist-ideology, once far-right fringe, is increasingly mainstream, promulgated by some GOP politicians & hateful media-personalities. A recent poll found that 7 out of 10 Republicans professed a belief in the “great replacement”, which is a notion that white Americans are being replaced by people of color. March For Our Lives, gun-control group, assets that these massacres are “enabled by loose gun laws & a gun-culture empowered by white supremacy”.

Census projections estimate that whites ‘may’ become the minority in a quarter century or more; and some politicians are pushing the ideology that the demographic change is somehow being orchestrated by liberals, who are trying to gain political power. Because this is untrue, doesn’t mean we can afford to ignore this dangerous propaganda. As America becomes more divided by economics: financial opportunities for education, housing, healthcare & basic sustenance, you’d think the less well-off folks would be more inclined to vote for Democrats, the only party who strives to help the working class, but data doesn’t necessarily support that hypothesis. Beliefs, biases, perceptions & mindsets are tricky. FEAR fuels irrational mindsets, and some in power ruthlessly manipulate those deep-seated fears. MORE KIDS ARE NOW BEING MURDERED THAN ARE COPS & SOLDIERS! What can WE do about these massacres? President Biden urged, “We must do everything in our power to end hate-fueled domestic terrorism; racially motivated hate-crimes are abhorrent to the very fabric of this nation”. What are WE personally willing to do to overcome our own fears & prejudices? We can pray all we want, but MAYBE God put US here to make a difference. LET’S TRY! YES,WE CAN!
