Saturn continues thru June Retrograde<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Planet of self-discipline and caution defies gravity in Scorpio, where influences are determined to be dogmatic and placid. The retroactive energy continues to throw Saturn for a loop. Saturn will go Direct on July 20th.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pluto continues thru May Retrograde<\/strong><\/p>\n

Transformations continue to abate, while Pluto rides the outer perimeter in Capricorn. You would think that Pluto would be fine \u2013 making transitions and transformations with caution and thrifty actions. However, the Retrograde pulls back that energy. Where your changes take a step forward, you end up going back two steps. Making head way will definitely be difficult unless you really plan ahead and set standards in advance without deviation. Pluto will go Direct on\u00a0September 22nd<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Mercury goes Retrograde in Cancer \u2013 3 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, June 7, 2014<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>12:16 pm EDT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Be prepared for communications to go awry. Back up your computers, verify your writings and think about what you’re going to say before you utter a word. As a Planet of communications, Mercury’s role can elicit free-flowing words of wisdom. However, make it retrograde and you might find that foot in your mouth more often than not. You might find computer glitches and down-time as commonplace during a Mercury Retrograde. At work, bring a book to read while you wait for the computer geeks to reboot the computer systems. As a minor Planet in health issues, it is best to watch your diet, drink plenty of water and wash your hands often. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure when Mercury slides across the face of the Sun. Mercury will go Direct on July 1st.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Neptune<\/strong>\u00a0goes Retrograde in Pisces \u2013 7 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunday, June 8, 2014<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>10:14 pm EDT<\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u201cPink Fog Machine\u201d normally keeps us from seeing the truth clearly, because\u00a0Neptune\u00a0can askew our vision. When retrograde,\u00a0Neptune\u00a0can see things more clearly, like the fog has been lifted, for a short time. It helps you to understand the higher concepts of beauty, love and spirituality.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Full Moon in Sagittarius \u2013 22 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday, June 13, 2014<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>12:11 am EDT<\/strong><\/p>\n

When it\u2019s time to relax, the Full Moon will keep you alert. Emotionally, it is time to progress to the next level. Think creatively and be adventurous when you have to deal with issues. Sometimes you will have the notion to speak your mind when you are agitated, but don\u2019t fret\u2026 whatever you say is going to be the right thing. Everybody else was thinking the same thing, but didn\u2019t have the nerve to say it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Native Lore<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Strawberry Moon yields some of the tastiest fruits this time of year, especially on the Full Moon. Gather them fresh as the dew washes them in the morning. Roses come into full fruition on the Rose Full Moon in June. Take time to smell the roses!! This is also the time of year when I like making Rose Petal Mead. The days are hot and so are the early parts of the evening. A Full Moon in June can offer a Hot Full Moon. It\u2019s a good time to work Moon energy skyclad, if possible.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Flag Day \u2013 Uranus in Aries \u2013 15 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, June 14, 2014<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>12:01 am EDT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fly the American Flag high today to represent your patriotism. Uranus rules adventure, independence and freedom, all things that\u00a0America\u00a0is based on. Uranus was also discovered shortly after the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence. This Planet is gliding thru Aries, which allows us to express an outgoing attitude. Show your Patriotism today!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Father\u2019s Day \u2013 Sun in Gemini \u2013 24 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunday, June 15, 2014<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>12:01 am EDT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dads are in the spotlight. Remind him how much he inspired you. Tell him how he changed you and your life for the better. He deserves a pat on the back for a job well done!<\/p>\n

Retrograde Mercury re-enters Gemini<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday, June 17, 2014<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>6:05 am EDT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Planet of Communication re-enters the Sign of Communication\u2026 Hmmm\u2026 Interesting how conversations go from subject to subject. It\u2019s a wonder how each segues into the next. And while you\u2019re talking, be wary of what you say about others not part of the conversation. Gossip can bite you in the end. However, this time Mercury is retrograde and that puts a bigger whammy on the aspect.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Retrograde Mercury conjuncts the Sun in Gemini \u2013 28 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thursday, June 19, 2014<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>6:37 pm EDT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mercury and the Sun go head to head in a double applying aspect. The movement of Mercury travels across the face of the Sun. Although it is going FORWARD thru space, it seems to be going backwards from Earth\u2019s perspective \u2013 hence its Retrograde activity. As Mercury glides across the Sun\u2019s face, the Sun seems to be traveling forward the other way. Because of this forward movement on both parts, it seems that Mercury and the Sun will collide. This is a double applying aspect. A Retrograde Mercury acts faster on the Direct Sun, which seems to augment that action. Where Communications and Computers will go awry during a Mercury Retrograde, the Sun propels that action even faster. Sunspots will also pose an issue. Here\u2019s another reminder to back up those files and make sure you are specific in what you are saying and writing.<\/p>\n

Sun enters Cancer \u2013 Happy Birthday, Cancer!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, June 21, 2014<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>6:39 am EDT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cancer is the most emotional of all Signs. Folks born under this Sign tend to be motherly and compassionate by nature, but it can go to an extreme where the motherly effect becomes smothery. Cancer can create an air of crankiness if provoked. If you find yourself offended by something or somebody, you may find yourself sulking away in your crab shell. Change your moods and you mannerisms and be the joyful, playful person you yearn to be and you will see that happiness is far better than moodiness.<\/p>\n

Litha at sunrise \u2013 Sun in Cancer \u2013 0 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday, June 21, 2013<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>5:44 am EDT<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0at\u00a0<\/strong>Sunrise<\/strong><\/p>\n

Litha\/Midsummer (no -mas)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Names: Midsummer, Litha (a name occurring in\u00a0Bede<\/a>‘s “Reckoning of Time” [De Temporum Ratione<\/em>, 7th century] Bede writes that “Litha means ‘gentle’ or ‘navigable’),\u00a0Samradh, Summer Solstice, Alban Hefin, Aerra Litha, Gwyl Ganol yr Haf (Welsh<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Date:\u00a0Jun 21st<\/span>\u00a0(longest day of Solar Year\/waning half begins)<\/p>\n

Astro Correspondence: Sun enters Cancer (first day of Summer)
\nColor: whites and yellows,<\/p>\n

Food: earliest fresh fruits and vegetables, soups, breads, pasta, chicken, pork, wine, sangria, iced teas,<\/p>\n

Common Info: \u201cMidsummer\u2019s Night Dream\u201d is enacted by Shakespeare, Battle of Oak\/Holly Kings (Holly wins), Sun at highest peak and begins its descent (wanes),<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alban Heffyn (Midsummer or Litha) is the Celtic Festival of the Oak. It is the last day for the Oak King to reign. It is usually on the 1st day of summer (June 21st<\/span>) or when the Sun enters Cancer. It is the Summer Solstice. It is also known as\u00a0St John’s\u00a0Day. Ogmios, Arianrhod, Huon and Math are usually celebrated as the Gods. Celebrations consist of herb hunting (St Johnswort), pickling early vegetables, circle readings and Fairy Hunts. Oak leaves are typical symbols of the season and open-face Green Men hang from walls. Foods sacred to the Sabbat include any fresh fruit, especially strawberries. Now is the time to hunt for mistletoe so it is easily found at Yule.<\/p>\n

The Fairy Realm is quite active at this time, so honor them with milk and honey. Leave simple, shiny gifts for them and they won’t steal your keys or your kids.<\/p>\n

Monday, June 23, 2014<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>8:20 am EDT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Venus takes on a chatty conversation about love and lust. Venus becomes a little more hedonistic in her approach to this point. She finds it easy to be as versatile as she’s used to being. Venus energy becomes more energized and alluring. Affections and devotions will be as forthcoming as normal and especially as she crosses through her ruling Sign of Taurus.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New Moon in Cancer \u2013 5 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday, June 27, 2014<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>4:08 am EDT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cancer is ruled by the Moon; it’s the only Sign that is. When the Moon is New in Cancer, it recharges its batteries while it’s “home”. Expect emotions to be all over the board. New Moons are conjunct the Sun and, between the two Planets, there is a very powerful draw on all living things on the Earth. As the Earth turns, the oceans are pulled even higher off the land. Can you imagine the effect it has on every living thing? It is very powerful. Motherly instincts are in high drive at this time. Find time to be creative, too!<\/p>\n
