The next couple of days are a great time to review how you’ve spent the last 5 months eliminating the distractions that create resistance, disconnect you from receiving the blessings the Universe perpetually pours into you, and block your ability to effortlessly channel light and grace into the world.

AUTHENTICITY is a word that a lot of us use when discussing the lives, identities, and actions we want to craft in this incarnation — especially in reaction to the phenomena of living life on display for social media. The search for authentic identity compels many of us to seek out clarity on the question “Who am I?”

What if this life we are each living is our “vacation”?

Since today is indeed the first day of Cancer Season and hence Summer Solstice, the longest and most yang day of the year, it seems most appropriate to delve into the planet that rules Cancer and the most visible receiver of the Sun’s light in the sky — the Moon.

Today, June 11th, Mercury finally breaks free of Taurus for home in Gemini today and Pluto retrogrades back in Capricorn. However, underlying these two ingresses is Saturn in Pisces slowing down significantly this week, getting ready to retrograde on June 17th and remain so for four months — which it does every year.

Take the moment to enjoy finishing up a three week audit of how you use Mercury — the planet of connection that’s primarily responsible for connecting your internal and external realities.

It’s been a weird week. Monday’s Mercury Cazimi seems to have played out very literally for almost everyone I spoke with — which makes sense with Mercury being in very literal Taurus.

What has this Taurus/Scorpio eclipse story been about for you? Can you sum it up in one sentence that will both fully tell the story while being teasing enough to intrigue someone to watch?

As I write this post, the Sun and Jupiter are about to meet in the sky in what’s called a “cazimi” — a term derived from the Arabic that means “in the heart of the sun”.

The Moon is a planet that I don’t spend a lot of time talking about on print but have found myself devoting whole sessions to helping a client get better clarity on their own; but, with the eclipses just around the corner, it’s time to remedy that.

As the sun claws back its dominion over the sky from the night, so the soul’s voyage moves from the primordial waters of Pisces into the hungry fires of Aries.

Aries compels planets that occupy it to act impulsively, disregarding consequences, believing wholeheartedly, passionately that the courageous action defines them.
