June 2011 promises to be a cracker!
We start the month with an eclipse on June 2 at the New Moon. Currently we are in the Gemini Sun phase. Gemini is talkative, knowledgeable, humorous, witty, adaptable, changeable and easily bored. In the Gemini cycle we can experience or witness a lot of duality. So watch this space. We are in for a dazzling ride.
Gemini’s love motion and activity – they love to learn and can be very clever. People often say that Gemini’s have two sides but I am inclined to argue – well haven’t we all? Who is so boring as to live in one dimension – I must apologise for that is my Gemini Moon talking!
The New Moon eclipse on June 2 is at 7:02 am, 12 degrees Gemini. The Gemini New Mon eclipse highlights communication and connection. Ideas flow freely as sharing with like-minded people inspires open discussion. As I’ve mentioned before I am a very curious person and this New Moon is perfect for exploring that aspect of our personality.
On the positive side, this is prime time for new discoveries. Pay attention to the books, mentors or courses that attract your attention.
Caution: don’t go overboard with plans for expansion – while the lure for something new is strong and hard to resist this eclipse is not to the time free fall from the cliff. Keep your feet on the ground but allow your mind to wander.
The New Moon is the most fertile time of the lunar cycle and this New Moon the wishes or intentions should focus on:
• Positive daily interactions
• Calming mental anxiety
• Writing
• Speaking
• The Internet
• Curiosity (already mentioned but duality remember!)
• Mental rapport
• Understanding different options
• Siblings
• School mates
• Roommates
• Ingenuity
• Tact, acceptance, quick thinking
• Having a sociable nature
The Full Moon eclipse June 16, 6:13am, 25 degrees, Sagittarius highlights the balance between truth and trust entwined with faith and fact. The Sun aligns with Mercury and the desire to know what’s what becomes essential to defining our identity. With the Moon and North Node in alignment, trusting your gut is actually the best way forward. Whether you choose safety over adventure – or vice versa – is entirely up to you, but making a conscious choices to honour one approach over the other is important.
Significant planetary movements:
• Mercury in Gemini, June 2 – 16
• Mercury in Cancer, June 17 – July 2
• Venus in Gemini, June 10 – July 4
• Jupiter into Taurus from June 5
June is a number six month and this can be a testing time and your loyalty might be strained more than any other characteristic. Domesticity is the key note and intimate relationships are spotlighted. I would add that it is a month for serious commitment to self and others – just consider the eclipse season and how that can work for you this month.
The Knight of swords in the next cool character in our tarot journey and when the Knight of Swords appears in a spread, it is time for the individual to be prepared for sudden changes, which break apart the ordinary patterns of life.
These changes may be inaugurated by an individual coming into one’s life that possess the quicksilver, fascinating and disruptive qualities of the Dioscuri; or it may take the form of a new idea or vision which erupts from within oneself and which throw ordinary life into disorder for a time. Thus, whether the Knight of Swords appears from without or within, his gift is the ability to move with the changes, and the turbulence which he brings may ultimately lead to a broader vision of life. Quite often this person may be Gemini or has strong Gemini qualities.
Antelope is our animal totem for June. Antelope taught humans to honour gifts sent from Great Mystery, and to avoid indiscriminate destruction of life.
Antelope signifies knowledgeable action. Antelope is a symbol for the antenna of your hair, which attaches you to Great Mystery by its long chords of light. Looking at Antelope, you become aware of your mortality and the short time span you have on this planet. With this in mind, you must act accordingly. Proper action pleases the Great Mystery. Antelope medicine is the knowledge of life’s circle. Knowing of death, Antelope can truly live. Action is the key and essence of living.
Antelope powers have been courted and sharmanised since the dawn of time. Antelope clans have been many, and the power of Antelope is great. Antelope medicine gives you strength of mind and heart, and the ability to take quick and decisive action to get things accomplished.
If you feel stymied, call on Antelope medicine. If you are balled up and twisted in knots, Antelope powers will speak to you of proper action and soon set you free. Many ingenious solutions to problems are whispered by Antelope. Listen, and even more importantly, act. Surround yourself with the illumination and secret knowledge of Antelope. Combine this with action and you will overcome any obstacle or hindrance in your path. If Antelope is your Centring Tree and strong personal medicine, thank Great Spirit. Say what should be said. Your judgement is sound and your actions will be successful.
Our June Goddess is Baba Yaga or Wild Woman. I think that this Goddess will support us as we ride the wild surf of the eclipse season, don’t you? Baba Yaga flies into your life in her mortar to help you nurture wholeness by getting in touch with your wild woman. It is time to reconnect with the natural, the primal and instinctual. It is time to shake out your hair; you body, and shake up your life. Have you banished your wild woman to the dungeon? Have you chained her, muzzled her, caged her, lest people find out you are not nice, neat, and clean? Free her!
You need her. That wild woman is part of your joy part of your vitality, part of your creativity. She is you and you need every part of yourself in order to dance wholeness.
Baba Yaga says it is most important for you to learn to integrate your wild woman because an unintegrated wild woman creates self-destructive behaviour. The wildness is there and needs to be expressed. It is your choice whether to express it creatively or destructively. May I suggest? Creatively should work in this shifting and changing eclipse season.
Our crystal for June should be one that will take the lightning bolts of change and allow them to integrate calmly and in a healing way. Therefore I have chosen, Blue Tourmaline. Tourmaline works quickly to integrate our inner and outer selves. It draws off negative energies and stabilises our tendency to fly off in too many directions at once. Brown Tourmaline is grounding but I feel that Blue Tourmaline will work wonderfully in this Gemini and Sagittarius eclipse season.
Allow the celestial shifts to take you to a place of uncertainty and change. Integrate these changes into your life if you feel comfortable and ready.
May the Universe bless you with many joyful and wonderful experiences in June 2011?
Love, Peace and Harmony,
Harles
