JUNE ASTROLOGY
DISCUSSION & GREAT PLANS
June is an energetic month full of buzzing conversations, bright minds and thought provoking ideas. Constructive plans may fall into place this month, as we seek to find resolutions to settle our feelings. Finally, we celebrate the English Summer time as the Solstice arrives on June 20th.
SUN
20th June: Sun Enters Cancer
We shall still be thriving in the sign of convivial Gemini, discovering lots about ourselves and others! We scuttle into Cancer Season on June 20th and soften once again as our focus tunes into the home, family and feelings.
Two special dates for the diary this month that jumped out at me..
June 3rd: Wake up early! A rare event called the Parade of Planets will occur, where six planets of the solar system will align in a straight line, visible just before sunrise.
June 4: Venus, the planet of love, beauty, harmony and peace is star if the show today. The Venus Star Point occurs when the Sun and Venus link up in Gemini, pushing us to communicate our emotional needs and to speak from the heart. Great line up before the new moon!
June 6: New moon in Gemini
New moons are an excellent opportunity for setting intentions and manifestation.
This Gemini New Moon is a great time to combine words with actions! Gemini, ruled by the messenger planet Mercury, is a chatty one, and action backs up her intentions. This new moon takes our focus to ideas of how to SHARE knowledge, collaboration, writing, or public speaking opportunities.
NEW MOON IDEAS AT HOME:
•Journaling or brain-storming ideas. Thinking about all the different projects and possibilities there are out there with your name on it!
•Gemini’s love an adventure, so perhaps embrace this explorative energy by planning a short trip away or a day out.
•It’s a game changer moon. Consider how you can make a few adjustments to your typical week to bring about a much needed change.
•Find an accountability buddy! Someone to be a cheerleader and help support you with your new game plan.
June 20: Summer Solstice & Litha
Happy first day of Summer! On the longest and brightest day of the year, the Solstice, we celebrate Litha.
Litha is a Pagan Holiday and is celebrated during the Summer Solstice between June 19 -22. You may know it as ‘Midsummer's Night’. A magical evening when it’s believed faerie folk pass into the human world at Twilight and offer blessings.
As the energy of the Summer Solstice dances in our hearts, it feels exciting to celebrate the return of the light from the sun. Start dreaming of your flower crown, where will you be tapping your heels and hooking arms with another as we pay homage to the abundance and beauty of Mother Earth, the gorgeous nature surrounding us and the bright summer sun.
June 21: Full Moon in Capricorn: The Strawberry Moon
Full Moons can be deeply introspective moments. A time to reflect on what to take forward into the next month, as well as what you leave behind.
As Capricorn is associated with hard work, ambition, and discipline, this full moon is said to be a time for focusing on career and personal aspirations.
FULL MOON IDEAS AT HOME:
•You may want to look at how you can realistically and responsibly move forwards in life. Now might be the time to let go of those time wasters that derail us from our goals.
•Celebrate your current milestones and wins, perseverance and confidence.
•Take time to refuel and nurture yourself acknowledging how hard you have been striving.
•Capricorn Moon Affirmation: I am a success in everything I do. I give laughter and healing to the world.
