On June 11th at 12:43 AM PDT we have a Full Moon in the sign of Sagittarius. The Sun and Moon oppose each other; the Sun at 20 degrees Gemini 39 minutes, and the Moon at 20 degrees Sagittarius 39 minutes. These two signs are Mutable, declaring the end of a season before beginning another. Mutable signs are mental, having to change from one thing to the next, and learn the best ways to accomplish tasks. Sagittarius tends to be a loner even in a crowd, unique, creative and full of energy.


Here we are in the last month of Spring, getting ready for Summer when the Solstice arrives on June 20th. So while we are wrapping up the season, we have the Sun and Moon in their yearly mental axis; Gemini/logical mind and Sagittarius/intuitive mind. We can use these energies to balance and contemplate our next activities. Back in 2024 on December 1st the Moon was new in Sagittarius; a time for setting goals that align with this Fire sign’s passion. During that time of year we are observing our connection with Spirit, regardless of religion or beliefs. We have the opportunity to connect while the veil between here and there thins. This creative sign ignites our abilities to generate and produce beauty in many forms, be it art, music, writings and communications. What were you dreaming up and hoping to create? If not a material creation, possibly a stronger connection with ALL THAT IS?


Now with the Moon Full in Sagittarius we are supported by Mars in Leo as it trines the Moon and sextiles the Sun. Mars brings more fire to the occasion, as Mars and Leo are both ruled by this element. Mars is fearless, ready to fight for what is right. And while in this sign, it is fighting for self expression without limitation. Confidence can soar as we explore our own abilities without fear. There can be breakthroughs as we take action to initiate change, set new boundaries to clear the path to success. While the Sun in Gemini pushes us to pursue logic, Mars and the Full Moon inspire us to pursue meaning, to search for what life is really all about. Finding the balance now between the lower and higher mind is available to us, so take the time to meditate or contemplate the full meaning of what is our purpose. With the insights we discover we can grow beyond limitation and evolve our beliefs.


While Mars is in favorable aspects to these luminaries, it squares Uranus in Taurus at this time. This can make for a strong urge to break free from restrictions and rebel against authority without regard for the consequences, leading to significant disruption or conflict in your life. Or, it can lead to innovative and creative breakthroughs and a new personal life. It’s all about how you direct this energy as Uranus seeks freedom. Using your physical energies to create rather than destroy is the goal.


Mercury in Cancer is very active with aspects from Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto. Mercury rules Gemini, the sign the Sun is in. The sextile to Venus in Taurus brings compassion and love to the mix, where our minds are on helping those we care about. The conjunction to Jupiter in Cancer encourages you to use your communication skills to uplift others, share wisdom, and promote harmony. The square to Saturn in Aries inspires hard work and attention to detail when making big decisions. The square to Neptune in Aries can distract us with confusion and negative thinking; seek out trusted advisors before acting on the changes you wish to make. And the inconjunct to Pluto in Aquarius reminds us to be extremely clear in our intentions and with our words. Even giving or receiving simple instructions can get twisted. Avoid intentional deception or fraud.


So much to think about at this time before the Summer season begins! But what an favorable time to dwell on how to put our best foot forward. Consider your gifts, your uniqueness, and what you can bring to the table of life. We all have something to share from our deepest hearts with the world. Now is the time to consider just what that is.

On May 26th at 8:02 PM PDT the Sun and Moon align at 6 degrees Gemini, 6

minutes. Time for the mental gymnastics to begin:)


Gemini is a Mutable Air sign; Mutable as it is the last month of Spring leading us into Summer. It holds both seasons’ qualities in its weather and changes taking place in nature. Air signs are mental, intelligent, quick to respond to information and how to use it. With the Sun and Moon in this sign we are invited to rethink our reality and recreate it. The Gemini twins will assist us all by keeping things light and amusing.


There are many planets supporting the Sun and Moon at this time. Working alongside these luminaries is Mercury at 2 degrees Gemini. Mercury rules Gemini and is well placed in this sign, and will grace us with its energies through to June 8th. Mercury is all about communications, connections, and social experiences. What a great time to consider outside the box what we can accomplish free of fear of mistakes. This adventurous energy sees both sides of situations, the pros and the cons, without emotional attachment. This sign is very detached, giving it the ability to make the wisest choices.


Saturn sextiles the Sun and Moon at 0 degrees Aries. Saturn is the taskmaster, and just began its 2 ½ year cycle into the sign of independence, action and achieving goals. When it enters a new sign it opens up a new area of life to learn lessons through. While in the sign of Pisces for the last transit we were learning about trusting our inner voice to lead us through the darkness. Now, Saturn engages us with fearless determination to move past the shadows. Saturn is considered the Lord of Karma, and tends to press on areas of our lives that we need to step up and take greater responsibility for. Take Saturn’s lead and contemplate where fear of failure has kept you from truly exploring your talents.


Neptune is also sextile the Sun and Moon at 1 degree Aries. It is conjunct Saturn. Saturn helps to give form to the insight and imagination of Neptune, while Neptune inspires hope and faith in something worth working hard for. These two planets are very different in their approach to life, Neptune in this sign will now encourage you to look into your goals of the past and see if they are still relevant in today's world. Saturn in Aries will probably not let you get away with avoiding it for long. Avoidance of responsibility or trying to dodge the consequences of your behavior will only make your situation worse. Let go of the past and cast a new path for the future.


The last planet to favorably aspect these luminaries is Pluto at 3 degrees Aquarius, which trines them. Pluto is the planet of dismantling what limits us in order to rebuild. When in this sign, which happens through March 8, 2043, we will move from the old systems into a more progressive, collective focused future. We have the opportunity to break free from constraints, expand our consciousness, and embrace the potential for radical change, both individually and collectively.


It appears obvious now that changes are happening in our world, hopefully we will shift from a war ridden world to one of compassion; understanding we are culturally different but we are all spiritual beings having a human experience. Look within for the answers that will take you from separation to unity. Enjoy the New Moon and write down your hopes, dreams and plans for your future!

On May 12th at 9:56 AM PDT the Sun and Moon oppose each other at 22 degrees 13 minutes. The Sun in the sign of Taurus and the Moon in Scorpio. Every year we celebrate this Moon as Wesak, the observance of the birth, enlightenment and death of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha, 2600 years ago.


If we follow the Buddhas path, this is the prime moment for transformation with this Full Moon. This is the path to enlightenment, to awakening. With the Sun in Taurus we are examining our lives with regard to matter, personal values, possessions and material goods, and security. But the Moon in Scorpio is pushing for understanding the mysteries of life, the complexities and the intangibles. The Moon seeks emotional transformation over comfort.


The Three Jewels, or the Three Treasures in Buddhism set the stage for transformation. The first is Buddha or the Teacher, the second is Dharma or the Teachings, and the third is Sangha or the community of practitioners. Whether you are Buddhist or not, these directives work with all belief systems or religions. First you find your teacher, one who opens the door to your inner self. This teacher can be anyone who lights your curiosity, even your higher self. The second task is to follow the teachings as they are presented to you, like a template to expand upon. The third task is to find your community, those who can share and teach each other.


At this time, as with all full Moons, we are arriving at the end of the cycle we set upon when the Moon was new in Scorpio, last November 1st. Under the double influence of the Sun and Moon in Scorpio, we were looking at how to become our own shamans, alchemists, and psychologists as we explored the innermost layers of our beings. We were encouraged to seek our own “becoming” through looking at the shadow side of our being. This was a time of letting go of all limitations in regards to Spirit. Now, with this Full Moon we see the outcome of those goals, and where we sit within our own inner self; freed or still captive.


Saturn at 28 degrees Pisces trines the Moon. While Saturn is still in this sign until May 24th, it is tying up its cycle with this positive aspect. Saturn is the strict teacher, but in Pisces its lessons are about trusting the unseen and letting go of fear. We are completing the lesson of learning how to set healthy boundaries while still being compassionate. Life is asking us to surrender control and go with the flow.


At this time, Uranus plays a role in our becoming. It is conjoined with the Sun at 26 degrees Taurus and opposite the Moon. Uranus is the planet of change, one that rattles our cage of self limitation. You are what you believe until Uranus points out where you have sold yourself short. This planet shows us all our individuality and how we can become free from control and inhibition. With the Moon we are dealing with emotions and in this sign, things that are normally hidden come out into the light to reveal what blocks progress. Allowing these energies to help us comb through the snarls and see what needs removing before we step into freedom is the goal.


As with the Buddha, we are all avatars in this world. We are here to find our uniqueness and thrive. We must go through dark and light times in order to learn. It isn’t punishment but directives to keep us on our path. So if you seek peace, surrender to the truth; about yourself, about others, about why we are here and what we are meant to learn.


It is all about love.
