Daily Forecasts June 27 to June 30 (with Tantra Workshop Times included)
This forecast is prepared and written in luminous tiles across your retinas. May it shine forth upon all who meet your gaze. Words grow here slick and filthy and unhindered by enterprise.
Monday June 27
With the Moon in Taurus today, the focus is on values, security, and more security. Money matters come to the surface; either to spend or to figure out how to make more so you can get more things. Creature comforts gain importance, so feed your senses and enjoy your surroundings. Take a peak at how much your physical gratifications effect your emotional state and sense of self-worth. Moses said “I AM THAT I AM”. He didn’t say, i am what and if you want me to be. We can only be what we are. If we try to accommodate the false gossip that is spread about us, we will spend all our time trying to be that which we are not.We want and deserve to feel really good about ourselves. When we feel positive about ourselves, we radiate that good feeling and everyone feels even better. Yet, when bad things happen, and they do, and we can only feel positive about ourselves, the next step is to blame someone or something. Yet, that rarely works. So we’re thrust back on ourselves. Self-reflection is healing. It can provide us with solutions to tough situations. But we have to do the work. Or we don’t and we continue the cycle of blame…. and not figure out our deeper dilemmas… The Moon continues bringing alignment of head and heart with a sextile to Mercury. Although this is the last contact the Moon makes before leaving Taurus (and so enters its void-of-course period), we can continue to take the initiative as if the Moon were still active. Mars spurs us to cover ground rapidly with a sextile to Uranus. We can’t get there fast enough! The big energy of the day however is the Sun’s opposition to Pluto, the culmination of their yearly dance with each other. This is a “Full Pluto” time, when we are taken into the deepest realms of awareness to see what remains to be transformed before Pluto returns to forward motion September 16. It’s time to go for it!

The Day of Mars in Earthweek finds the red planet in Gemini. Mars in Gemini is an energetic planet in a highly mobile sign. The fact is, however, that Gemini moves in more than one direction at a time, in contradiction to Mars' knifelike thrusts. Mars does best when it's focused. It is pure hunter instinct that hones in on the target, then strikes its blow. But, Gemini is a better talker than a fighter. It's a wanderer and thinker, not a killer. The challenge, then, is to stay on track. But, maybe that's not even possible now. Maybe we need to stay on more than one track. Diversity is the name of Gemini's game. Brief incursions may work better than full-scale invasions. Gemini is about tasting little bits at a time, rather than making a total commitment. We might all work more efficiently now if we have a variety of tasks that we can move among like butterflies. Step lightly in the airy sign. A heavy footprint will only bog you down. This is a time for dancers, not stompers. Wit works wonders when properly placed. The greatest weapon is the mind with Mars in Gemini. Just remember what it feels like to be at the other end of the verbal barb, and avoid laughing while others cry. Mars reaches its square to Chiron, part of the stutter-step dance that Chiron and Neptune have been engaged in with each of the personal planets. They bring a healing process from the most ethereal realms of the cosmos, one that may be hard to understand or describe in conventional terms. We have to trust in its perfection regardless of our level of understanding. The thread of events flows through June 3-5, 10-12, and 21-28. The Moon, which enters Gemini at 0:56 am PT, supports our feeling awareness of this process through contacts with Neptune, Mars, and Chiron over the day. Harmonies with Uranus and Saturn support a smooth integration of new awareness into our life path. the Moon in Gemini deals with perception, what we learn from our senses and surroundings; What do we think, and what do we know? What do we need to say, and what do we need to hear?

Wednesday June 29
The Day of Mercury in earthweek finds the swift one in cancer. Mercury is associated with intellect and Cancer with feelings. This combination offers us an opportunity to perceive and communicate our emotions more directly at this time. Conversation is likely to be more personal than usual, with a greater capacity for intimacy. However, objectivity may suffer as awareness is filtered through the powerful issues of security, family and safety. Every astrological pattern offers its challenges and opportunities. In fact, they are really two faces of the same thing. In this case, the challenge is to articulate emotions without being overcome by them. The opportunity is to soften the separating aspects of the logical mind to connect with others in a more personal fashion. Cancer is a water sign. The mysteries of water can not be spoken, only felt. Mercury's passage here does not erase the rational aspects of perception, but it broadens them to include information that can not be put into words. Know that silence can be full of meaning. This time is a reminder that real listening is done with the heart, as well as with the ears. The Moon continues its transit of Gemini, with no new planetary connections to assimilate today. Use today to pull things together inwardly, and to tie up loose ends externally.
Today's tantra Workshop Saturn meditation times are 10:40 a.m., 4:54 p.m. and 3 hours before sunrise (tomorrow's)at 4:33 a.m. The Yantra is the neon Red Cube at the base of your spine. please take time to read “Saturn without Suffering” in the Saturn/Muladahara section.
Thursday June 30
Take physical exercise in Jupiter's Day, when he is reigning, and use Jovial things such as Lapis Lazuli, Brass, Cedarwood, blue and aery colours, wine, honey; and entertain thoughts and feelings which are particularly Jovial, that is, expansive, healthy, and with good humour... - Marsilio Ficino, Renaissance Astrologer and Orphic Musician
The Moon goes void of course at 0:33 am with an occultation (“eclipse”) of Venus. This infuses our moods and emotions with deeper feelings of love and a desire to connect with others. Coming at night, this may fill our dreams with loving encounters, remembered or not. Either way, we will carry the unconscious messages concealed within into our days to come, especially tomorrow’s Solar Eclipse. At 9:13 am, the Moon enters Cancer, the sign of tomorrow’s third eclipse and the New Moon. Today we prepare our consciousness with mostly harmonies with the big players (Neptune, Chiron, Jupiter); a square to Uranus and opposition to Pluto guarantee that we’ll see the whole picture—how we need to continue changing to keep pace with the global transformative process.
Today's tantra Workshop Saturn meditation times are 10:40 a.m., 4:45 p.m., 9:54 p.m. And the hour before sunrise (tomorrow's) 2:33 a.m. The Yantra is the neon Red Cube at the base of your spine. Please take time to read “Saturn without Suffering” in the Saturn/Muladahara section.
