"I have such a fear of finding another like myself, and such a desire to find one! I am so utterly lonely, but I also have such a fear that my isolation be broken through, and I no longer be the head and ruler of my universe." — Anaïs Nin

There is a breakdown of isolating self-sufficiency and stubbornly held blind spots this week. Safety and security is paramount even as many begin to recognize that the walls of our isolation are really traps that keep us from making the important connections that we are instinctively craving. Last week, Mars turned retrograde and this week, Jupiter stations to turn direct. The walls begin to crumble. However, determination may become an unhealthy insistence that we need to keep patching the holes in our thinking instead of [...]
"You only ask for directions when you can't see you're in Heaven"
There may well be a whole lot of rattled nerves this week. Mars stations to go retrograde on Wednesday just as we reach a Full Moon (9:52 PM PDT 6° Capricorn-Cancer) that is conjunct Saturn. With Mars retrograde, idealism runs headlong into reality and one way or another, adjustment is required. The increasing sense of responsibility may lead us to believe that we need to take direct action and impose our will on circumstances that are entirely beyond our control. The stationing of Mars requires that we step back from imposing our will or taking direct action and look for opportunities to increase our insight and simply [...]
"If I have lost confidence in myself, I have the universe against me."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are challenges to individual confidence this week that could easily put us on the defensive. Last Wednesday's New Moon (12:48 PM PDT 22° Gemini) has brought a swirl of conflicting thoughts and emotions that need to be tamed and somehow blended together. This is ultimately a process that will help us combine creative vision with intellectual acuity and move us toward making real, tangible progress. However [...]
"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."
— Mahatma Gandhi
This week's Gemini New Moon (Wednesday, June 13th, 12:48 PM PDT 22° Gemini), takes us into a wilderness that is swirling with heightened intellectual activity and conflicting emotions. We may find ourselves feeling like we're trying to survive a chaotic Brain—Storm. During the storm, none of the pieces seem to fit together and refuse to fall into place in any sort of order. The paradox here is that the more protective we become during this chaos [...]
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven"
— Ecclesiastes 3:1
Our ability to make forward progress or take direct action is dampened significantly by this week's Mars-South Node conjunction. We need to conserve energy and seek to open a variety of lines of communication in order to be effective in this environment. While we may be able to maintain the Big Picture perspective that gained focus last week, we aren't able to manifest very much on the ground in the tangible, material world. It may feel that the swirls of chaos and mountains of information will never settle down and the feeling of being seriously overloaded could be extreme. [...]
