“Let Compassion Be Your Reaction”
The Cancer New New Moon, Summer Solstice, Annular Solar Eclipse is Saturday, June 20. We have entered the portal, the worm hole, the tunnel to the next evolute. And, you may be asking, “are we there yet?” This is just the start and we have to keep driving forward, we do not have the option to stop in the middle of tunnel and get out- it will create a collision of the past and block the future. Normal reality is starting to disintegrate, illusions are being unveiled, and Truth comes crashing through. This can be very shocking and chaotic anytime we find out that we have been deceived- particularly when level of deception is societal and systematic. Racism, Elitism, Economic institutions, Corporations, Governments, Leaders, and History Books.
This Solar eclipse is the second of three and is being square by Mars and Neptune in Pisces. Mars is the Warrior and the God of War. Neptune in Pisces is our Spiritual Aptitude and also what has been hidden from the collective consciousness. The square is right between the Axis of Evolution- The Moon’s Nodes where eclipses happen. This is a karmic cross roads where evolutionary steps have been skipped in the past. We tried to “progress” as a society without healing and addressing great mistruths and injustices. Now the warrior is riding through these murky waters and will soon exit watery Pisces when he lands ashore in fiery Aries on Saturday, June 27. This will mark 6 months of the God of War in his home sign, empowered and seeking to understand our collective wound to the Masculine.
On Monday, June 22 Neptune will become the sixth planet to go retrograde, joining Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter and Pluto. Neptune will be in the back current of the collective unconscious and spiritual development until the end the US election season on Nov 29. Neptune in retrograde will pull up many mistruths and collective lies we have all been part of. These 5 months will see a lot of tides turning one way and then another. Two days later on June 24, Venus will complete her 40 day sojourn in the underworld of Gemini and end her retrograde. She will resurrect in the East as the morning star and rise before the sun each morning, starting a new cycle of hope and beauty. She will also carry with her facts, documents and proof of the Mistruths that Neptune will reveal. Meaning, the unbelievable is true and well documented.
Astrology has a way of repeating the same theme and energy from multiple dimensions and perspectives. On June 29, Jupiter will make its second of three exact conjunctions with Pluto in 2020. Jupiter is Big Truth and Pluto is what has been hidden in the underworld. These two energy giants will be exactly squared by Mar’s (Aries) sister Eris- the Goddess of discord, forgetfulness, strife, and war. This is more revelation of injustice and the cover up. Between Eris and Mars there is a lot of determined and fired up energy in the hearts of the people and the environment. Both Mars and Eris can very reactive. This is where we need the elder wisdom of compassion. Let Compassion be your reaction. Use your spiritual practices to find your center. Meditate in the morning before sunrise with Venus-Morning Star. Remember your yoga- Namaste: the light in me sees and honors that same light in you. If ever we need to be in our spiritual hearts- it is now.
The energy continues with Sun and Mercury square Chiron on June 30/July 1. Chiron is in Aries as well and is the collective wounds of the Masculine. Mercury is the communicator and the Sun is our Collective Will Power. This could be big conversations around everyone’s wounds and how we understand the masculine and conditional love. Be aware of your words these days. Remember- Mercury is retrograde.
That same day of July 1, Saturn re-enters the sign of Capricorn for one last dip into the sign of the Patriarchy. When a planet retrogrades back into a sign this is a critical missed step that needs to addressed. Saturn will leave Capricorn and settle into Aquarius on the Winter Solstice Dec 21, 2020 and will not return to Capricorn again until 2047.
This will all culminate with a third Eclipse on July 4th- the United State’s Birth Day. This final summer eclipse is on the South Node of the Past. It is of particular significance to the US and will likely send reverberations through the Patriarchal structure. The karmic goal here is healing and reconciliation, so remember the mantra “Let Compassion Be Your Reaction.”
