This time sees a continuation of a larger longer feeling that a new age is coming about, and anyone alive at this time is bearing witness to the end of an old paradigm. A lot of people are becoming increasingly aware of large shifts in their own sensitivity, awareness, technology, and fundamental changes in society and energy as a collective.

In early June, we saw the stabilising influence of Venus and Saturn working harmoniously together in the areas of relationships, friendships and partnerships with shared responsibilities.

This month sees a pattern of retrospection and deep reflection, with Pluto which moved into retrograde back into Capricorn, in mid-June Saturn will go into retrograde & at the end of June Neptune will also move into retrograde. When planets go into retrograde you tend to have more of an internal experience, and get the opportunity to review and reflect on the themes of the planets involved and how they influence your life.

This will provide you with more of an internal reflective experience of the energetic influence of the bigger planets Pluto and Saturn-particularly around themes of our internal sense of self-responsibility, boundaries, control and power. This time provides the opportunity for deep reflection and internal processes such as channelling writing or journaling could be of great benefit for assisting the processing and moving through these themes.

Saturn is currently in Pisces (it goes retrograde around the New Moon), and brings about the energy of authority. Do you give it away to others or take ownership of your personal authority, what are your responsibilities and perceived restrictions when putting the focus on your dreams?  Do you set strong boundaries, and have a solid sense of what is your own that you can work towards and take responsibility for?

You may contemplate around this time if you need to set stronger boundaries and work towards developing a more solid foundation if you are feeling vague, floaty or ungrounded. This can be a reality check if you have been co-dependent or lacking in personal boundaries in the past, or losing your sense of internal authority- now is the time to put up a stop sign up if needed. This is also a great time to re-establish your sense connection to your higher self if you have been ignoring it, so you can bring through intuitive guidance and ground spiritual wisdom and understanding.

Saturn in Pisces can lead to you feeling emotional with heightened sensitivity, and you can feel vulnerable at the reality of the situation (Saturn) you find yourself awakening to. The timing of this which coincides with the New Moon in Gemini gives you the chance to think about where you have previously been delusional or foggy in your thinking. You now have the opportunity to work towards your goals, set your intentions and communication your boundaries (Gemini) and see and think about things in a new way.

This is also a really good time to work with your intuitive & psychic senses, your heart space, creativity, spiritual practices and healing in a focused, intentional way. This can be a time when you collectively download vast amounts of information, so take care to make space to ground to avoid it circling around in your head so you can actualise the energy.

The 25th June for the next few days sees a very spicy mix of Mars, Pluto, Uranus, and Mercury making challenging aspects. Call this your heads up if you happen to feel a bit fiesty, rebellious, restless, or edgy the last few days of June. A great use of this energy is through dancing or vigorous exercise can help take off the edge and channel it into something creative. Take that boxing or spin class at the gym, Ecstatic dance, Chakradance to help shake it off, you could also find a quiet space to yell into a pillow without repercussions!

After you’ve cleared any excess energy, it will be much easier to keep personal energy field calm so you can maintain internal stillness. Just in time for the end of the month when Neptune becoming stationary as it pauses to go into retrograde on 30th. This is a great time for dreamwork, guided meditations, spiritual regressions, and the use of oracle cards, tarot to connect you to your higher divinity.

The Full Moon in Capricorn  (3rd July) is opposite the sun and mercury in the sign of the home and family (Cancer). This may highlight areas in which we over-focus or commit our time to working, with our calling to rest up and self care (cancer).

In early July (10th) we see the moon coming up to a conjunction with Chiron in Aries sees an opportunity to start to give a little and let go of old wounding around your perceived identity. You can become more aware of the ways and coping mechanisms you may have previously relied upon when feeling triggered emotionally or wounded at this time. Being attuned to your feelings here can help stop you falling into familiar patterns of reacting without thinking, and allowing past emotions that may be re-triggered to flow rather than holding on and continuing to allow it to define you.

Food-wise
-eat light foods that nourish would be helpful, such as broths or vegetable soups that fill you up without weighing you down.

Health-wise
– Take moments to feel your feet on the earth to feel your connection to your heart, practices that allow you to allow extraneous information that doesn’t resonate to drop away. Visualise a waterfall of energy/light flowing through your being from above and washing away any confusion or excess energy you may have been holding onto.
-Tune out of anything that drains you (limit social media or mainstream news especially). Take each moment to appreciate the divinity in the every day, the small practices that connect you with everything and keep you steady.

Jupiter in Taurus (where it will stay until next year) which continues themes around abundance, building and managing your resources, expansion and opportunity even when challenged by events outside your personal control.

This month sees an opportunity for reviewing your internal sense of self-responsibility, boundaries, control and power.  Periods of deep reflection, creativity and heightened sensitivity provide ample opportunities to reflect and reconnect to your higher self or source energy and dream big. This is great time to work consciously with your psychic senses, spiritual practices and healing. This will bring through an awareness of unconditional love, and a grounding of spiritual wisdom and understanding. Clearing the decks with physical exercise towards the end of the month will ensure that you can be more of an open channel for energy. This month also provides the gift of choosing whether you identify with old wounding around your perceived identity or acknowledge the deeper meaning. Finding moments to stay still will assist you to remember that you are part of the greater whole and always will be.
