The Seriousness of a Child at Play
June opens with a week of Gemini lightheartedness: a time of lively conversation and social mixing sure to broaden our horizons and brighten our mood.
Jupiter- which just entered a one year journey through the sign of Gemini on June 25th (see feature article)— Trines penetrating Pluto on June 3rd. Touchy subjects are broached without intimidation and complicated projects unfold with ease.
The sparkly interactions continues until June 8th. Particularly buoyant is June 4th, when two warmhearted conjunctions take place (Mercury/Jupiter and Sun/Venus), followed by the New Moon in Gemini the following day. A blessed time, so long as we keep tuning in to our nervous system: Is this excitement or stress?
The mood sobers a bit during the following week (June 8-14) when Venus, Mercury and Mars take turns squaring Saturn and Mars squares Pluto. The contrast may be stark. A simple delay may feel like frustrating standstill. Truthfully, life is simply balancing and grounding us after a period of airy diffusion.
As we get into the third week, (17-20) emotional sensitivity increases and we may crave quieter, more personal connections. As Venus, Sun and Mercury enter Cancer, exactly squaring Neptune, faces may feel mysterious, incomprehensible. Time to go soul-to-soul with a vulnerability ally.
The magic culminates on the 21st when the Capricorn Full Moon squares Neptune, two days after the solstice. Use these days (19, 20, 21) to connect with people you feel an easy communion with- perhaps in a ritual or a ceremony.
The last week of June is about organization and integration.
On June 26, Mercury Trines Saturn. Good time to focus in on a project that requires detailed attention and a take a look back: What were the key lessons of the month? In a few short weeks we’ve networked, persevered and empathically communed. Now, as we approach Saturn’s retrograde in Pisces, (June 29- Mid November) we’re poised to blend the best of Gemini with best of Cancer, by asking,
What compassion-cure is orphaned ego crying out for now, and how can I better live with the seriousness of a child at play?
