A New Moon in Gemini, Summer Solstice, Full Strawberry Moon & Mercury in Retrograde at the End of June

A New Moon in Gemini on June 15th welcomes new beginnings with manifestation of changes and spontaneity streaming through the airwaves. Safety lies in thinking about our feelings and sharing them with others.

It’s hard to go wrong with a cool head.

And yet, a cold heart can be a good relational repellant, not to mention coming across as callous to others.

Harmonizing with our heads and hearts helps support effective communication.

Tuning in to the energies of this new moon gently aligns with guidance around setting intentions for the months ahead. It’s as if the Universe is encouraging us to lighten up, be playful, and have fun along the way.

Tis the season for connecting with friends, organizing social events, and storytelling. Perhaps communication projects may come to life with greater ease, or communicating topical truths. Tapping into healing vibrations can be a real felt sensed experience during this timeframe.

On most places around the planet, the Summer Solstice and Father’s Day both fall on Sunday, June 21. This is a rare occasion, and will not happen again till 2037.

Peak sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere is associated with Grandfather Sun-Yang energy, where outward expansion, frolicking and growth seem organic.

In the Southern Hemisphere, it’s Grandmother Moon-Yin energy where the darkest days reaches their Zenith, and then we turn inward, journey into the soul and sit with the darker aspects of life.

Ah, the duality of living on this Planet reflects the interplay between the Yin and the Yang.

Even in darkness, there is light. If you look to Nature, you will see the fluidity of these energies at play and the way they are always seeking balance.

Additionally, a Full Strawberry Moon on June 29 reflects lineage connections to the Algonquin and other North American nations who noticed the connection between the wild berry harvest to this Full Moon.

And depending where you are around the world, the other names of this Full Moon reflects what mattered most to humans on the land during mid-summertime.

We will also be shifting gears into Cancer Season (June 21-July 22).

Cancer the Crab is a time when we are encouraged to focus on nourishment, self-care, and our emotional health that breathes in a softer tone that supports reconnecting with ourselves and our hearts. Crabs reflect emotional sensitivity and tapping into the feeling realm.

How you can integrate self-care into your daily routine?

How can you integrate a sense of safety and security into your life?

Furthermore, Mercury will be in Retrograde on June 29 – July 23. These energies are in alignment with slowing things down, reflecting on the past, and focusing on the here and now.

Energetically, Mercury in Retrograde is a good time to be mindful of subconscious thoughts, including past programming. These energies can be a healing and highly intuitive time when we work with its energies intensionally.

Moreover, our psychic abilities and dreams can become triggered so that we can tap into deeper insights by working with our subconscious minds in ways where the unseen realms yield useful information to light our way.

Please feel free to echo my reading of the Great Invocation Below. Consider speaking the lyrics aloud, telepathically or any way that you want to amplify the sentiment to co-create Heaven on Earth. Doing this embodies becoming the change you want to see in the world:

May all Beings awaken to God Consciousness, Cosmic Consciousness, Unity Consciousness, Diversity within Unity, Inner Peace and the Universal Pillars of Love and Truth.

Peak Experiences On The Summer Solstice

The Summer Solstice will happen on Thursday, June 20. As if the Solstice isn’t enough of a peak experience, a Full Strawberry Moon will follow on the day after. Of course, this Full Moon goes by many names. Some of these names include the Lotus Moon in the Chinese tradition, the Mead Moon in Anglo Saxon tradition or Rose Moon in European tradition.

Don’t you just love the way the different traditional names for the Full Moons reflect the New Aquarian Age of honoring our Diversity Within Unity? There can be many right names to capture the same one Full Moon.

The Summer Solstice will be the longest day on the planet in the Northern Hemisphere. Energies of manifestation and growth abound. Time to get out in Nature’s gardens, feel our feet on the ground, hike up a mountain, take in the waves along the shorelines, feel the warmth of the sunlight on your skin and cool down by the water’s edge.

Keep in mind that it’s the Winter Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, where it will be their darkest day of the year. A perfect planetary embodiment of the yin and the yang; light and dark or the fluidity of masculine and feminine energies at play. Like our brains, the planet has two hemispheres and we need both to be in healthy communication with one another. There can’t be light without dark or female without male.

Balance is key. Spirits can get out of control in the sweetness of summertime, which is why we keep our feet on the ground to soak up our connection to Mother Earth. Turtles are good reminders for knowing when to come out of our shell; while at the same time remaining anchored in and secure in our footing.

Cancer the Crab energies are in the air and in their elemental forces with water. Given their unwavering intersections between the sea and shorelines, Cancer can teach us how to work with emotional and material realms.

Like every year, the Sirius Gateway opens up our spiritual connection to the light energies of Sirius on July 3-7th. Narratives as told by our ancestors have revealed sacred connections to Sirius and higher forms of consciousness and technology. These connections awaken through this Spiritual Sun or portal to a different dimension.

Meditation on dimensional bleeding and vibrational shifts can awaken and accelerate consciousness expansion. Some interesting synchronicities to this include that the Egyptian goddess Isis has been linked to Sirius; as well as the Egyptians referred to Sirius as the Dog Star. Moreover, the Dogon tribe in West Africa teaches about their lineage connection to Sirius.

Although ETs aren’t new to our shared human experience, a growing body of research shows these experiences are on the rise; particularly since the first detonation of the atomic bomb. These abuses of technological terror have a dimensional ripple effect that exceeds the material effects, which are disastrous enough. In much the same way as meditation practices, stories of the Sky People visiting our planet and interacting with humans have been passed down from our ancestors.

Take care of yourselves everyone,

Ari
