June 2008

Through the month of June, the Saturn trine Pluto that we have been enjoying remains, but is slowly fading. The positive Jupiter-Uranus-Neptune energy mentioned last month remains strong, however, and the political and social landscape will continue to rapidly change with fascinating and surprising results. The winds of change will be blowing very strong and this is great, but we should not think that regressive forces will just roll over and play dead. The forces of conservatism will always resist the forces of change, each behaving according to their nature. Enjoy the return of the ascendancy of liberality, but keep a wary eye on those who would impede. 

Now is a time for celebration, but with a sober knowledge that the culture war will never really be won. The pendulum will continue to swing back and forth for many decades to come even if the prevailing wind is toward liberality and enlightenment. It will probably always be two steps forward and one step back. During this step forward, let’s make the most of it. It remains vitally important that we stay involved. Put the light of your consciousness to work in the various global meditation and prayer for peace and world healing events that you know about and are attracted to. The more light we generate, the less dark can remain.

On more personal levels, the main thing to be aware of as June begins is the Mercury retrograde period that began back on May 26 and continues through June 19. The new- to full-moon period should be made good use of. Deep positive changes can be made. Do, however, keep an eye on others’ motivations and your own as well. There are the usual major energies running through most of the day. Read ahead and plan for making the most of the positives and minimizing the cautionary. There are some long daytime Moon void of course periods to be aware of, especially in the first half of the month until Pluto retrogrades back into Sagittarius. The most notable include June 2, 4, 6, 8 and 13. There are some half day voids to watch for as well.
