Each month I will wander into the hedge and take note of what is singing, shining, and bursting through the veil, with the hopes of offering grounding, insights, and glimmers of meaning to all who seek it. This monthly journal is complete with astrological touchstones, a tarot reading for the month, and mythic, symbolic, and magical ideas for moving through the cycles.
June unravels upwards, as the Sun climbs towards its Solstice peak on June 20th. Our capacity to welcome change increases as the Sun’s warmth and presence lingers, gilding our awareness with vitality and insight. Insects whir and hum, wildflowers come into their full elegance. You can feel the heat of the stars in the gloaming. What is blooming here on Earth is dreaming of what is alchemizing in our universe.
Jupiter enters Cancer on June 9th: As the hermit crab grows, it has to seek out new shells to call home. Jupiter in Cancer finds us building sand castles, revisioning our creature comforts, and dreaming up pathways to belonging that are rooted in care rather than exploitation.
Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 11th at 20°: The Strawberry Moon. A Full Moon for playful release, for philosophical exploration, for devotional activities. How can you take your surface interactions to another level of intimacy?
New Moon in Cancer on June 25th at 4°: A New Moon for making a blood pact. A New Moon that expands your horizons, and questions your limits. A New Moon for expansive thinking, in vulnerable territories. Remember that allegiances can be reforged, and family can be chosen.
