Astrology for the Week of June 18, 2012.

The theme for this week is to create.  We work hard at doing the right steps to create abundance, but we forget that we cannot create if we are reacting negatively to something.  That is resistance.  So, if you have been frustrated that things are not working the way you would like, look at your life and see how much of it is about being stressed and being in reaction to your world.

 Tuesday, June 19, we will experience a New Moon in Gemini at 8:02 am PDT, which is trine to Neptune (spirituality and visualization) and Mars (energy).  This is a good time to interact with the world with the wonder of child.  We get so caught up in the drama of our world that we assume things.  We only see the things, people, and events that justify our belief about the world.  Our mind filters out everything else.  So, take time today, pause, and really look at what you have not been seeing.  The Sabian symbol for this New Moon is “The first mockingbird of spring sings from the treetop.”  If you google “mockingbirds and Charles Darwin,” you will find out that it was the observation of the mocking bird that made Darwin aware that a species can transmutate and evolve.  This New Moon asks, “What new you is transforming right now?”  Allow the new you to be born.

Wednesday, June 20, we will experience the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year.  It is a time for celebration and rebirth.  If there is any resistance to rebirth, the Mercury-Saturn square, which happens today, will force the blinders off our eyes.  We will easily see how you have been resistant in life, especially in the areas of self-appreciation, success, and abundance.  This is actually a very good thing, as this will show how to become a vibrational match for what we desire to experience.

Thursday, June 21, Mercury is sextile to Mars, which gives lots of energy to put ideas into action.  This is also a good day to do energy work.

Saturday, June 23, we will experience a Sun-Neptune trine.  This will make us want to understand on a deeper level how to bring spirituality into all areas of our lives.  This will be a wonderful day to meditate or be outside in nature.

Sunday, June 24, we will experience the first peaking of the Uranus-Pluto square.  This is powerful energy for abrupt radical change, transformation, death, and rebirth.  This is the first of a series of seven squares between Uranus and d Pluto that will end in 2015.  This energy wants us to let go of the lies that we have about the world we live in and the lies that we believe about ourselves.  This energy demands transformation, truth, authenticity, and balance.  That is what ascension is all about. It is not a nirvana out or up there.  It is finding it here.  If you want to see an interesting example of this, watch the Adjustment Bureau with Matt Damon.  It is about a world that perceives to have free will but does not.  The chairman decides the fate of people and has minions to make it happen.  That is like our world now.  We blame “them,” “others” and our “ego” for what happens to us and like the main characters in the movie, we have to take our power back and realize that we do have free will.  We can choose something different for ourselves and we have the power to make it happen.

The card that I pulled for this week is a Louise Hay healing card.  “I release all resistance to money, and I now allow it to flow joyously into my life.  My good comes from everywhere and everyone.”  Happy Solstice everyone!!
