SOLAR FLARES: As
the month of June gets underway, solar flare activity is escalating
once again. In the past 48 hours (at the time of this writing on Sunday,
June 2), the sun has erupted with three X-class solar flares (the
strongest magnitude), three moderate M-class flares, and more than 30
minor C-class flares.
Solar
flares can affect us on physical, emotional, and mental levels, so
having many high-magnitude eruptions within a short period could feel
overwhelming for some. Those people who are most
sensitive to solar flares may be feeling fatigue, having trouble
sleeping, experiencing unexplained waves of emotions, and dealing with a
wide variety of unusual physical symptoms, some of which are the
recurrence of old injuries or conditions.
On
a metaphysical level, solar flares activate a process of
detoxification. As the energies encounter a place within our various
bodies (physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual) that is in need of
healing or contains a block, we can experience symptoms as the energy
moves through that area. The blocks or scars may be from this lifetime
or from other lifetimes; sometimes we may experience them as a part of
our
soul's agreement to do healing and clearing work on behalf of the
collective.
As
we move through Solar Maximum this year and work with elevated solar
flare activity, be sure to
increase your fluid intake, especially fluids that contain electrolytes
(sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, chloride, etc.).
Solar activity is very drying (as is the detox process), and our brains
and bodies need extra water and minerals to function well. Drinking
electrolyte fluids (such as coconut water or minerally-enhanced pure
water) can help ease many of the wide variety of symptoms we may
encounter.
(Symptoms
reported this past week include: Stumble walk. Lack of energy,
especially in the legs. Drunken sailor walk. Falling asleep at unusual
times. Sleeping long hours but still feeling tired or not sleeping much
at all. Odd dreams. Ringing
or buzzing inside the head. Digestive issues. Appetite changes. Dry eyes
and mouth. Insatiable thirst. Not able to get warm or sudden hot
flashes. The return of old pains and conditions. Unexplained sorrow.
Anxiety or sudden bouts of fear, especially at night. Brain fog and
memory changes.)
Besides
increasing fluids, here are some other recommendations for navigating
times of heightened solar flare activity: Ask your body what it most
needs, and listen to its responses. Give yourself extra rest periods and
naptimes, especially if you are having trouble sleeping through the
night. Connect with Nature as much as possible and
ground your energy into Mother Earth on a regular basis. Take time to
breathe, slowly and consciously. Engage in physical movement such as
easy walks (or more strenuous exercise, if your body requires) to keep
the energy moving through places where it might get stuck. Be gentle
with yourself and kind to others; we are all receiving and reacting to
the amplified energies, whether or not it registers on a conscious
level.
JUNE OVERVIEW: Today,
June 2, the harmonious trine between visionary Jupiter in Gemini and
socially conscious Pluto in Aquarius is exact to the degree. This aspect
magnifies the need for social change but also strengthens hope in a
new, more enlightened humanity. Under its influence, we may feel
especially passionate and determined about a new course of action or
personal growth path. Progress in these areas is greatly facilitated
throughout the first two weeks of the month.
Mars
enters comfort-seeking Taurus this week, encouraging us to slow down
and simplify our lives. However, with the Red Planet exactly square
dynamic Pluto on June 11, it is abundantly clear that major shifts are
underway and that life will necessarily be more complex than we might
prefer.
Themes
of home and family are emphasized at the Solstice on June 20, when the
Sun enters nurturing Cancer; but the Capricorn Full Moon on June 21
requires that we maintain objectivity and boundaries even while
attending to emotional needs or caring for loved ones.
Serious
conversations and decisions are likely the last week of the month with
Saturn stationing retrograde on June 29. Since the Ringed Planet is in
inspirational Pisces, a good balance of reason and intuition is required
when we engage in any long-term planning. While Saturn travels
backward, we are advised to complete unfinished business that could
interfere with our long-term success. There is more support for taking
on new responsibilities and initiating a new business enterprise after
Saturn goes direct on November 15.
GEMINI NEW MOON: We
begin a new lunar cycle at 5:37 a.m. PDT this Thursday, June 6, when
the Sun and Moon align at 16°17´ Gemini. A New Moon in the sign of The
Twins always increases mental activity
and the desire to communicate; this particular lunation, which is at the
same degree as sociable Venus, even more strongly emphasizes our
connections with others.
While
we may be drawn to initiate a relationship, an investment, or a creative
project under the influence of this Venusian New Moon, it is important
to note that Venus, the Sun, and the Moon are all in challenging aspect
to Saturn. These Saturn squares mean that there are likely to be delays
and some frustrations in fulfilling our plans in the areas of romance,
finance, or artistry.
If
we meet with obstacles as the new lunar cycle begins, it may be helpful
to remember that as Father Time, Saturn has very good reasons for what
we may perceive as setbacks. If the pace of progress is slower than we
would like, it is because the cosmos is busy lining things up
for our best success; important variables are not yet in place and we
would likely not achieve our goals if we were to go full speed ahead
now. Saturn also teaches us patience and discipline, which are essential
ingredients in any long-term endeavor.

THIS WEEK'S ASPECTS: Here are my brief interpretations of this week's most important planetary aspects:
Monday
Mercury enters Gemini: Mercury
is moving very quickly now, and will be in expressive Gemini for only
two weeks, from June 3 to 17. During this time, people are especially
interactive and communicative. Our minds are eager to
learn and we may seek out and voraciously absorb new information.
However, nervous energy is heightened while Mercury is in Gemini, and
our thinking can be a bit scattered due to being pulled in so many
directions.
Mercury trine Pluto: This
aspect helps us focus on one specific subject, and to delve more deeply
into it. Conversations are
more profound and people can be more forthright than usual. There is a
desire to know the truth and to find out what is going on beneath the
surface.
Tuesday
Mercury conjunct Jupiter: The
urge to speak our minds and share our beliefs is very strong today. The
flow of information can be torrential, perhaps resulting in overload.
Be sure to take good care of your nervous system with this aspect.
Sun conjunct Venus: Relationships
are a high priority today and we are drawn to reach out to others.
There is boredom with usual routines, causing us to seek out new
experiences with loved ones.
Wednesday
No major aspects are exact today.
Thursday
New Moon:
The Sun and Moon align in Gemini at 5:37 a.m. PDT today. With the New
Moon conjunct Venus, square Saturn, and sesquiquadrate Pluto, we may
encounter relationship or financial challenges. These problems may occur
due to secrets or hidden information that
have recently come to light.
Mercury semisquare Chiron: It
may be hard to communicate clearly today, due to a fear that we will
not be able to express ourselves or that others will not understand us.
Sun sesquiquadrate Pluto: This aspect can manifest in verbal power struggles, accusations, name-calling, and blame games.
Friday
No major aspects are exact today.
Saturday
Venus square Saturn: William
Shakespeare may have had a Venus-Saturn square in mind when he wrote,
"The course of true love never did run smooth." Obstacles could arise
today in either relationship or financial matters, requiring us to take a
step back and reassess our options.
Mercury semisquare Eris: Controversies may be hard to avoid today, since people are especially vocal and blunt.
Mars enters Taurus: While
Mars is in the sign of The Bull, from June 8 to July 20, we tend to be
more determined and persistent in our actions. However, we may also be
more set in our ways and
resistant to change or input from others.
Sunday
Sun square Saturn:
Our ability to communicate is delayed or blocked with this aspect. It may be very hard to reach a meeting of the minds today.
