The Summer Solstice 2021

The Summer Solstice 2021

This year the Summer Solstice is on June 20th at 8:32 PM PDT. The Sun is positioned at 0 degrees Cancer 0 minutes heralding the first day of Summer. There are many reasons to celebrate this occasion, especially as it marks the time where we are coming out of the shadows and stepping out into the light of day. It has been an incredible year since the last Summer Solstice, and we have all learned so much! It is now the time to use our creativity and bring our dreams into reality.

Cancer is a Cardinal Water Sign; it begins the Summer season with love and compassion. Being cardinal energy, it initiates new ideas on how to make our physical world a better place to live. It begins with the home, Mother, our family and how we can improve our relationships with each other. It expands out to the world of people we engage with daily, how we treat them and are treated. Being a Water Sign, we are more intuitive, empathetic, and can walk in another's shoes before we judge them, with an open heart. But, this year we are presented with a very interesting planetary lineup that can keep us from reaching the heights we wish to reach. In understanding these energies, we can focus our attention where it is needed.

Two Grand alignments are happening on this day. The first is a Fixed Grand Cross, and the second is a Grand Water Trine. The Fixed Grand Cross looks just like it sounds, four planets squaring each other creating a cross. This is double trouble as these aspects create a very limited agenda, relying on routines, patterns, and what is familiar, keeping us stuck. And, they are all in Fixed Signs! The luminary and planets involved are the Moon in Scorpio, Mars in Leo, Saturn in Aquarius, and Uranus in Taurus. So here, depending on where this lands in your chart, we can be suspicious (Scorpio Moon) and angry (Mars in Leo), feeling misunderstood and blocked. The lessons continue about our collective humanity (Saturn in Aquarius) and just how can we be free to recreate our planet (Uranus in Taurus)? Look at your thoughts and feelings in these categories of life, to recognize where your work lies.

But the good news is we have a Grand Water Trine, where three luminaries and planets create a triangle. In this case it is the Sun in Cancer, the Moon in Scorpio, and Jupiter in Pisces. These aspects create harmony with each other, and open fortunate doorways to our well being. We see the synchronicity of elements in our lives, the positive changes we can make for ourselves. Where the Fixed Grand Cross can elicit fear of change, the Grand Water Trine washes away the tears and opens our hearts to goodness for ourselves and others. We just need to see where we are stuck first.

So, on this Grand Occasion, seek out the water closest to you, be it a bath, the river or lake, the ocean; a sacred environment for your celebration of the Water element. I love to celebrate the Solstice energy on the moment it arrives; on June 20th at 8:32 PM PDT. It will still be light out, so being outdoors is the most wonderful way to connect with nature at this time. We are focused on the Mother archetype and all it represents; life, nurturing, family and our home. We are all in the family of life including not only people but plants, animals and all things living. We are here as guardians of the Earth, and in this celebration we see the connectedness between ourselves and all of life. Set up your space with your power objects, be it crystals, cards, candles, flowers, and holy water. You can make your own blessed water by placing your most beloved crystals in a glass bowl of pure water under the Moon the night before. As you set out your water, set your intention on this water being charged with all the energies of our planets and luminaries in a harmonic way. Once you have accomplished this, you can keep this water for ceremonies in a glass jar or vessel.

First, admit your shortcomings, as you have believed them to be. Then ask, “is this really true?” Step out of yourself and take inventory of what has led up to this belief and how you would recommend to move past it; as if you were speaking to a dear friend. Take all the time you need to go down the list of imperfections as you see them, and renegotiate your feelings about them. Remembering all along that there are energies in this world that want to keep you stuck, adhering to old patterns so they can feed off of the fear and pain you are feeling. These can be people or entities you cannot see, but know are there to share in your dismay. This periscopes out to those in power who don’t have our highest good in mind. Don’t be blocked by the illusion that is shown to you through media and other’s beliefs, go to your core and see the truth for yourself.

Then once you have gone down the naughty list;), go to Mother and ask for her grace and insights. We all have a Universal Mother who is very powerful and wants the best for all her children. She wants us to be strong, healthy and vibrant in our lives, displaying our uniqueness and creativity. She knows we can’t do it alone, and encourages us to delegate where needed. She is adamant that we don’t sell ourselves short, don’t be a doormat, and remember to feel her power. So with that in mind, fill yourself with the Light on this longest day of the year and see your energy field glow with the colors of the rainbow! Know you are divinely connected to Spirit and feel her embrace.

Then begin anew.

New Moon Solar Eclipse June 10th, 2021

On June 10th, 2021 at 3:53 AM PDT the Sun and Moon conjoin at 19 degrees Gemini 47 minutes. And, we have an Annular Solar Eclipse! Last month was the Lunar Eclipse, presenting us doorways opening emotionally; but this Solar event is a “soul-ar” push. When we have a total solar eclipse, the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, completely obstructing the Solar light. But, during an Annular Eclipse, the Moon doesn’t completely cut off the light, it creates a visible ring of fire. Depending where you are on the planet is if you will see it; best place to view it is Central and Eastern Canada.

With this Luminary Event in the sign of Gemini, and with Mercury Retrograde joining up at 20 degrees Gemini; time to put on our thinking caps! Gemini is an Air Sign ruled by Mercury, so with this triple hit of “Twin Energy”, we can go one of two ways. The upside is that our communication center of our bodies is charged with usable energy, sparking endless ideas; and we can do our best writing, speaking, getting a message across that we have been pondering. The downside can be confusion, doubt, scattered energy that is unsettling. It is a Mutable sign, meaning flexible, changeable, malleable.

The planet Neptune presents a square at 23 degrees Pisces, a challenge. While Gemini is very logical and scans the surface, Pisces wants to dive deep into the emotions for the feather of truth. The challenge here is to use our right and left brains in harmony. To see the truth of any/all situations through the third eye, or inner sight; while tangibly setting goals on how to achieve the results.

What needs to be said? What information do you have to share with others? Do you hesitate to come out of the darkness into the light of a new day? We have all been through life changing events, personally and globally. Where do you stand in your new truth? With the lightest and longest day of the year, the Summer Solstice coming on June 20th at 8:31 PM PDT, this New Moon Solar Eclipse sets the pace for the new you.

Our physical, emotional and spiritual bodies are all hungering for a metamorphosis. Like the cocoon readying to open and release the butterfly, we are ready to soar, if only we feel worthy and ready. Sure, we can make excuses of how life has held us back, kept us dormant, changed our hopes and dreams; or with our new understanding we can recreate within the new reality we are living in. All of these energies are Mutable, Gemini and Pisces, so we are encouraged to let go and free ourselves.

Spiritually speaking, we are cleaning house, making way for new thoughts, new levels of learning, and new ways of communicating. We went through the dark times in order to reach out to the light. Don’t let this time be wasted on worries and fears, allow yourself to open up to receive the highest communications through contemplation, meditation and trance work. It is an extremely creative time, and as new ideas come to you, be the first to act upon it, and you win! How many times have you had a thought to create something and not acted on it, only to find someone else created it before you! That’s what this time is about, a major download of new ideas and flashes of brilliance in all categories of life.

So, it is a hopeful time of this buildup of light and illumination. We all have an opportunity to live a more fulfilling life, the life we want to live. Step out of the old, outworn limitations, and dream a bigger dream. It is yours if you make it so.

Full SuperMoon Lunar Eclipse, May 26th ⚡️

We have quite an event coming May 26th at 4:14 AM PDT! We have the Full SuperMoon Lunar Eclipse, beginning the Eclipse season. The Moon is stationed at 5 degrees Sagittarius, 26 minutes. Opposite it is the Sun at 5 degrees Gemini, 26 minutes. We know what the Full Moon is, but to be “super” means the Moon appears larger due to its perigee, or closest orbit to Earth. Spiritually speaking, a Lunar Eclipse opens pathways, portals to propel us forward on our life’s journey.

Sagittarius is a Mutable Fire Sign, ruled by Jupiter. Like the planet Jupiter; the biggest in our Solar System, Sagittarius is larger than life energy. Being a mutable sign it is flexible, can react quickly to information, can change on a dime. The Fire element supplies the energy like the lightning bolt, and it is up to us to harness it and control it. If we don't, we become frustrated and ornery! The quick wit can turn into caustic conversations if not kept in check. The energy is very creative and expansive, whether we are creating, meditating/trance states, or communicating our highest thoughts.

Gemini is a Mutable Air sign, ruled by Mercury. Like Mercury the Messenger, Gemini energy is quick, thought provoking and at times scattered. Gemini Sun provides the intellectual (Air sign) curiosity, the communicating and writing skills and opens our minds. A great time to change our minds if there are limiting beliefs in tow.

So between these two luminaries there is much to think about; Gemini being the day-to-day practicalities, and Sagitarrius thinking outside the box. This dynamic provokes us, especially being the SuperMoon Lunar Eclipse, to look at our ability to say what we mean and mean what we say. We may have to admit we’ve changed, and that includes what and how we think. We can be preachy at this time, getting on a soapbox and trying to convince others how to think about things. But I think we should resist this temptation, and go within and clean out our mental library.

T-Square to the Sun and Moon is, you guessed it, Jupiter at 1 degrees Pisces. OMG. With this aspect, Jupiter provides the focus of how to negotiate between the Sun and Moon. By that I mean their opposition creates an emotional climax, a mood swing between logic and dreams that can be disconcerting. So here comes Jupiter in the soft sweet sign of Pisces saying immerse yourself in the higher frequencies and grow. Look through the eyes of kindness and wisdom and become one with humanity. See beyond the boundaries and create a life worth living.

In the days leading up to this event it is wise to consider whatever ticking time bomb we may be sitting on in our life, or think dispassionately about what we are fearing or worrying about. Is it real? Or are we reacting emotionally and putting up roadblocks to protect ourselves? Change is inevitable if we choose to stay in our physical bodies. We learn to roll with the punches and determine what to do as we go. Or, we stay stuck and get illnesses that we use to escape. That sounds harsh, but it’s true. So, it is a perfect time to do the work, and clear the pathways like weeding a garden. Make room for new growth, let go of what no longer serves your mental self, and seek the highest wisdom.

The Journey to The Records can be of service here. Each of us has an inner library, appearing in ways unique to us all. The journey to this place can reveal which files, books, writings are no longer suitable for accessing. Allow me to show you the way there.

Find a sacred space for yourself, turn off your phone, and free yourself from any interruptions. Surround yourself with your power objects and get comfortable. Breathe in deeply and exhale slowly until you find yourself relaxed and at peace.

Open your inner eyes and ask to see your Inner Library. It could appear as a building, a room, a spacecraft, you name it! Don’t doubt what you see; go with it. Find yourself inside this space and slowly take in where you are....what is around you?

You can ask for assistance; a librarian of sorts. Whomever comes to assist you, thank them, and ask them if they can show you any materials that need removing, recycling, giving away?

Follow them as they direct you to said materials and find a comfortable spot within the journey to look through what you’ve been given. The writings can be titled to alert you to their contents, or you may simply be imparted the knowledge as you touch them. However this works for you at this moment, take the time to see and remember what is being shown to you. Once you have completed your search, thank those who have helped you, embrace them, and tell them you will visit again!

Once you opened your eyes and grounded yourself, write down what you were shown. Again, I encourage you to do this to get to the heart of what needs healing in your life. Working in tandem with the energies the planets and luminaries provide amp up the success factor for our intentions. So let’s make the most of this Super Event and climb the ladder to our highest version.
