NorthPoint Astrology Journal Your weekly guide to planetary influences June 24 to 30, 2019 by Pam Younghans Aspects of Note This Week   All times listed are Pacific Daylight Time. For Greenwich Mean Time, add 7 hours.  MON: Venus square Neptune TUE: Venus semisquare Uranus WED: Mercury enters Leo THU: Venus quincunx Pluto, Sun sextile Uranus, Sun square Chiron FRI: Mercury trine Ceres SAT: Mercury sesquiquadrate Jupiter   IT'S THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM this last week of June, with mostly minor planetary events occurring. The cosmos seems to be holding its breath, waiting for the Total Solar Eclipse to take the stage next week. In truth, we're already working with those eclipse energies. We can already sense that something new is about to be birthed, that will take our lives in fresh directions.   This week, however, we're still in the waning phase of the Moon. This means we are best served by turning inward, taking time to reflect on what has been and to do what is necessary to release the past. We are removing the old canvas from the easel and preparing our paints and brushes for a new creative effort.   BACK IN JULY 2000, there was an eclipse at the same degree as our upcoming eclipse on July 2. It was a less potent Solar Eclipse, being only partial--but it planted seeds that we've been cultivating since that time.   As we reflect this week, we might consider what began for us in the last six months of 2000, what new course we set out on during that time. In some way, we are completing that phase, coming to the end of a journey that was initiated then, or completing a commitment, or letting go of a pattern that came into being at that time.   VENUS is in the spotlight for the first half of the coming week, which brings themes of relationship, values, and finances into our awareness. With hard aspects to Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto on Venus' agenda, we'll be dealing with some disillusionment or confusion, an urge to break free from any restrictions or "shoulds" we've been living by, and some uncertainty as to how to handle disagreements that could too easily disintegrate into all-out power struggles.   On Wednesday, Mercury leaves Cancer and enters Leo. This shifts our mental focus from dwelling on home and family concerns (Cancer) and invites us to think about what we want to do that will bring more creativity, joy, and spontaneity (Leo) into our lives.   ON THURSDAY, we can overcome a tendency to draw too far inward, and may even risk moving beyond the boundaries of our emotional comfort zone (Sun sextile Uranus). But we will also need to overcome some insecurities that tell us we don't deserve to have what we want, or that the only way to have our needs met is to play the victim card (Sun square Chiron).   Friday looks like a good day to plan an adventure, especially one that allows you to give your inner child room to run and play (Mercury trine Ceres). We'll need to watch over-extending ourselves on Saturday, however; like any small child, we'll have a tendency to ignore our limits and run too hard and too fast for too long (Mercury sesquiquadrate Jupiter).   Looking forward to our time together this Thursday!   (For this week's "If Your Birthday Is This Week," please scroll down below the webinar announcement.)   I'M LOOKING FORWARD to our "Coming Into Focus" webinar this Thursday! And, thanks so much to Sherri Nicholas for her colorful "doodle" about the class, that I'm using as our image for today's Journal. From now until the class airs, I'll be putting final touches on the slideshow and taking another dive into the astrological influences we'll be working with for the next seven months. As I project myself into the future in this way, I get in touch with the energies we'll be working with--and it's becoming increasingly clear to me how profound these times truly are.   Throughout the rest of 2019, we're building up to the "Big Event," the Saturn-Pluto alignment in January 2020 that coincides with a Lunar Eclipse. This event signifies a powerful shift, both in our personal lives and in our collective experience. My goal through this class is to provide insights to help you stay afloat--and upright!--as you navigate the waves of change during the months ahead.   Please visit https://astrologywithpam.eventbrite.com to register for the class. Remember that you "don't have to be present to win"--the replay will be sent out to everyone who registers, so that you can listen at your leisure. I hope you can join us!   (For details, please see the webinar announcement below.) WEBINAR THIS THURSDAY! Coming into Focus Covering July 2019 through January 2020 Airing LIVE and Recorded for Replay Thursday, June 27, 2019 4 p.m. PDT  |  5 p.m. MDT  |  6 p.m. CDT  |  7 p.m. EDT To register: https://astrologywithpam.eventbrite.com AS JULY BEGINS, we enter phase II of a two-year process that started in early 2019. Over the past 6 months, during phase I, we’ve experienced a deep dive into the heart of issues that are vital to our evolutionary growth. Now, in phase II, powerful planetary events bring those concerns into even clearer focus. During this 90-minute webinar, we’ll explore the major astrological influences that will be in effect from July 2019 through January 2020. As always, Pam's goal is to “bring the stars down to Earth,” explaining in practical terms what the planets are doing, how they are likely to affect us, and how we can best navigate these truly momentous times. And there’s a lot to discuss, starting with a dynamic Total Solar Eclipse in early July, followed by a Lunar Eclipse that foreshadows the Big Event in January. Other highlights are surprises in early August, completions in mid-September, and intensification of issues beginning in early October. December and January are the most critical times, with two more eclipses and the Saturn-Pluto alignment on the agenda.

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS THIS WEEK: This year offers the chance for you to break out of old patterns that have kept you overly protected or in a defensive mode. There is some work to be done, however. The first step in the process is to fully love and appreciate the scared, vulnerable child who dwells within you. This child needs to be held, to be told that you're sorry it's afraid, that you understand, and that you love it. As you more fully accept and support this part of you, you will find that doors open to new experiences that revive your spirit and nourish your soul. (Solar Return Sun sextile Uranus and square Chiron)   In Gratitude and Light,   Pam   Copyright NorthPoint Astrology 2019. All Rights Reserved.  About the NorthPoint Journal   Astrologer Pam Younghans writes this NorthPoint Astrology Journal based on planetary influences and guidance received.
