The Planets, the Energies & You! June 2007 The longer term planetary positions for 2007 is the backdrop of themes upon which the monthly planetary energies offer a further focus.  JUNE’S ASTROLOGICAL THEMES:  Communicating that which is important to you to enable your life to flow in the direction of your desires. Using your mental capabilities to detach emotionally from that which is taking up too much of your energy. Creating thoughts that enable you to shift the momentum from that which you were creating, to that which is purposeful and empowering.  With the gifts of Mercury and Gemini emphasized in this month, it is wise to use this energy to step into new arenas that will support you better in your live.  Add to this the focus and drive of three Mars contacts to give an extra boost, and this could very well be your personal breakthrough month should you desire and choose it to be so.  On June 21st, we enter the Summer solstice which marks the beginning of a new season, one that moves us into the fullness of the vibrancy of all that is associated with the vitality of summer and the sun.  With Mars (the “gas”) in a great relationship with Pluto (transformation) on this very day, we are blessed to know that the entry into this powerful time is powerful yet smooth.  SPECIAL NOTE: Mercury Retrograde 6/15 to 7/9   What is Mercury Retrograde?  Use this time to really think about what it is you want in your life, putting aside all doubts, insecurities, and seeming impossibilities.  Relook at your past actions and nourish all that is desired so that July brings forth these new possibilities into your life.  This is a great time to really listen to yourself and open up to anything within that has been neglected.  ON COMMUNICATIONS:  Due to the Sun’s yearly passage through the constellation of Gemini, with awareness we can bring its positive traits into our lives with focused intention.  Remember that there is a relationship between your breath and your mind (which is ruled by Gemini).  Be conscious of your breathing each day, and as you intentionally endeavor to slow it down, notice how you can begin to relax.  Monitor your mental, emotional and physical state as you shift your breathing pattern this month.  Breath deeply and breathe often.  There is a definite relationship between your mind and mouth (what you say) and this awareness will help to empower you to think about what you want to say before you say it – making sure that what you say is authentic to how you are feeling.  ON DETACHING EMOTIONALLY:  The beauty of Gemini is in its ability to keep its focus on the mental realm - which encompasses the logical and sensible.  Use this month to discover the power of your mind and your ability to analyze and make sense of things.  If there is an imbalance in your life and you have been more emotionally attached to a situation or person than you know is “good for you”, tap into the energies of this month by using your mental body to discern what is good for you and apply it.   The energy this month has the ability to help you detach from that which is too emotional by bringing you into a greater need for balance.   Train yourself (it’ll be much easier this month) to listen to your mind, grasp the wider perspective, and see the bigger picture thus using your mental capacity for meaningful compassionate communication and a higher perspective. This understood in its fullness can lighten many of your emotional burdens.  ON CREATING BETTER THOUGHT HABITS:  Our mental mind is constantly talking to us and without conscious monitoring you could have chatter that is not consistent with what you want to create in your life.  Your cellular consciousness is constantly aware of everything that is going on in your thoughts.  As you use the energy of June to fist listen, and then monitor your thoughts, you are able to create a new pattern upon which you emanate that which you attract into your life.  In this way, you can form a new platform of thought upon which to move into the second half of the year.  Weaving Feng Shui into Astrology Feng Shui is the intentional positioning and conscious aligning of all aspects of your environment to create the most supporting energetic surroundings possible so that you thrive while being there.  By understanding the Astrological energies of the month, we are able to naturally find a further focus on particular areas of the home or specific things you can do within your home to enhance and fully utilize the energies around you.  The Astrological energies this month would find its maximum positive expression in a focus on the hallways of your home or environment.  As well, it would be a great time to look at the written/printed material that you have in your surroundings as all of this has an energy that affects you and can contribute to the energy that is holding you in a space that is tied to the past.  Your hallways are the passageways for you to move from room to room in your home and represent the energy flow and communication between every part of your life.  If your hallways are blocked in any way, they can show up as challenges in your communication and flow with others.    Your books, magazines, files and paperwork that you keep around the home are all connected to your mental body – that which relates to the Gemini energies.  What do you have around you that is taking up valuable real estate and holding back your communications and mental energy?  FENG SHUI SUGGESTIONS FOR JUNE: Remove anything that is inhibiting the flow from room to room.  Walk from your entrance and in and out of all rooms to make sure that you are not having to walk around anything unnecessarily or having to step over anything to get from room to room.   Notice what you have on the walls of your hallway.  Look closely at the pictures and notice if they have the “stop” energy by being bold or by being too attention getting.  Choose pictures for your hallway that depict flow and direction.  For example, fish or animals moving in one direction, a river flowing, pictures that may show direction with wind blowing the leaves of a tree - all these must be directed so the direction of the picture flows inward as you endeavor to call the energy into the inner parts of your home. Finally, go through your home and get rid of old magazines, books and papers that you will never look at or use again.  Get that which needs to be organized and organize it, and file that which needs to be filed. Get rid of anything that requires mental effort to read that you no longer want in your life in the form of its energy.  By paying attention to these simple things, you’ll be utilizing the astrological energies to work with you to maximize the power of your thought.  Complete these things by 6/22 prior to Mercury moving into retrograde, and then you will be flowing in your own mind like never before. Weaving Spirituality into it all!  Moving forward into June, Pele, Goddess of Fire offers some words to enlighten you into a deeper understanding of the beauty of your own light. Pele Speaks:  “In the light of who you are, I offer these words...Your ability to create that which you desire in your life is much greater than that you believe is possible.  As I am aware of you, even those of you who are honoring your light and endeavoring to live life in the light of all that is spiritual, there is much expansionary potential as I look into the etheric fabric of your future that you have not yet acknowledged.  As you move forward, it is my desire to bring forth a vibration of love through these words that can bring you to a new awareness of possibilities.  In each thought you think and in each step you take based on those thoughts, remember first and foremost that you have been created by a force of Creator that is infinite.  In this very same expression remember also that you were woven with that which vibrates with love and passion, that of the Goddess Light.  As you came forth to be who you chose to be in this life you placed a veil upon yourself so you would have the experience of doing that which you set out to do.  Now, as you move into this time of ascension, of moving into the beauty of yet another dimension, it is time you also begin to move through these veils and open your eyes to all that you are.  The way to see your own beauty is to begin by acknowledging that you are.  Look past what you think are your physical limitations, look past that what you think is not possible, and look past that which you have been told that does not honor the light of who you are.  You and only you have the power to move yourself to the level you desire.  There are not limits except that which you decide you will abide by.  It is time to embrace all you are and in that effort you will find new levels of all you have been desiring.  I hear your thoughts as you read these words and I feel your desires yet unmanifest in the moment.  It is for this very reason that I have come forth to share with you the possibilities of all you have and continue to desire.   But Pele, you say, “You know not my situation, and what you say is not possible”. And yet I say to you in the Light of Goddess, if you will find but one spark of passion, I can begin to work with that.  And if you have the courage to begin to breathe the light and the possibilities into that spark, believe in the power of your own light and you will find these words truth beyond that which you currently know.   And so I come this day in the Light of Goddess speaking these words in the knowing that there are no limits to my love and my passion as there are no limits to your life on earth.  Allow your light to manifest in your journey directly into the beauty that you desire”.
