This wonderful being wil be joining us next weekend for Wild hearts Solstice weekend and will be giving a talk to empty some interesting information.

The & points on the wheel of the year are powerful markers when our giver of light & life shifts into a cardinal sign, initiating the beginning of a new season, or quarter of the year

This eagerness to begin something new, revitalises our sense of purpose in accordance with the transition of the natural world we are an intrinsic part of

On the evening of June 20th (UK) we begin the 2nd season, summer as Sun ingresses the sign of

The chart for this moment (shown) presents a pronounced square aspect between Sun and the strongly felt at the final degree of the zodiac - 29 - continuing the theme of having our vitality & will 'washed away' into no-thing-ness & confusion

Its approaching the in suggesting matters coming to a culmination point & the position of this sign on the ascendant repeats its themes of the Saturn Ian structure & security being of greatest importance

Our defenses will be low! Our motivation also. We could feel somewhat ruderless or lost at sea, & this drives us to take ownership of who it is we want to be and put in the hard work required, or risk losing ourselves to the projections and visions of others who may not have our best interests at heart.

There is a struggle to restrengthen our sense of self, our health and where it is we fit into a world we can barely make any sense of! No easy task, but very important as we approach the incredibly significant in 2025

Establishing a system of incremental steps, no matter how tiny or insignificant they individually feel, is a great way to face this overwhelm. Setting easily achievable daily goals that move us, however slowly, towards our goal, which ultimately is to be happy and healthy. (How we believe that will come about is not necessary at this time, so leave that to God & keep your eyes on the prize as it were.)

If you would like to lean into this new beginning energy, join me on Friday 21st in the fortnightly Astrology group on zoom, where this time I will be giving a full overview of where we are with each planet in turn so we can get clear on where it is we are being influenced.
