Overview: This summer is a summer like no other we’ve experienced in our lifetimes. And we kick it off these next couple of weeks with the summer solstice on 6/21 and an eclipse on 6/26. Hopefully you took your ship out of the safe harbor during the earlier part of June, because now we need to be poised for some grand adventures. Radical commitment to both your authenticity and compassion for all living things is needed. This summer is an awesome opportunity to choose innovation over fear when faced with the unknown. Any blocks we have to adopting this attitude must be cleared.
6/16-17…The Moon in Virgo points to where we may need to be better organized in our negotiations with others. Replace righteousness with partnership in the name of quality improvement and efficiency.

6/18-6/19…Details we may have breezily skipped over in the past must be attended to. Thankfully we can easily orient towards how the divine is in the details. Remember that it’s all good work.

6/20-21…Happy Father’s Day and Solstice! With the longest day of the year upon us, it’s time to celebrate the life force which sustains us. Where might you need to shine a little brighter in your world? Don’t keep your light under a bushel. Ask for healing around father/authority figures in your life and you may be pleasantly surprised with the resulting empowerment and clarity you feel.

6/26…Capricorn Lunar Eclipse…Finding the Elder within
An issue that has been brewing for some time, most likely in the work/family/home arena, is asking for systemic, long term change. Do not attempt to fix it with a band-aid. Be a grown up about it. Look to whatever was going on for you in late March for clues as to what’s asking to be brought into consciousness at this time.
6/27…Yesterday’s eclipse may have brought up some strong feelings and unexpected information. A mature perspective is needed as we attend to the necessary communication about the impact.
Mercury in Cancer opposed Pluto in Capricorn
6/28-6/29…Movement and a different point of view help air out the strong emotions of late. Take care not to distract yourself from the security issues that need to be addressed by packing too much into your schedule.
