The Songs of the Great Mother

We have been working our way through a very intense square between Mars in Leo, Saturn retrograde in Aquarius, and Uranus in Taurus. The square between Mars and Saturn was exact this Thursday, 1st July, meanwhile Mars squares Uranus exact on Saturday, 3rd July. This is a wild, potentially rageful, and tight aspect that can feel like immense pressure. If there is any part of your life that feels like a beast out of control, perhaps look to the houses where Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius lives, as this fixed energy is truly being tested.

This is a marker in our lives that became inflamed in February, got reignited mid June and culminates at the end of December. This is the WORK of 2021. These are times to practice your sacred rage; consider screaming into a pillow, dancing your warrior self until tired, crying it out, or howling at the Moon. This too shall pass.

This week ahead is about closure. What was birthed through the Gemini Total Solar Eclipse on June 10th is reorienting itself towards an intuited future. Collectively and personally we are questioning our previous beliefs and values as the archaic paradigms continue to shatter. A crisis of consciousness is happening, and this is transpiring on many levels including collective thought, how we individually move energy forward, and ultimately our connection to the Earth and the Cosmos at large.

On Friday Mars trines Chiron, offering a healing potential through the Divine Masculine. Move the energy passionately and creatively on this Venus Day. As Saturday comes around Jupiter retrograde in Pisces makes a potentially transcendent aspect with Uranus in Taurus. A doorway to the supernatural opens through the sensual and mystical parts of our artistic selves. If you claim your life as living and breathing art, you are finding sovereignty. By Tuesday another wave of pressure comes as Mercury in Gemini squares Neptune retrograde in Pisces. Communication can be dreamy, but also lost in translation. Venus in Leo opposes Saturn. Once more our values are on the line. Each breath in this Aquarian Age is an opportunity to vote for the reality you wish to create.

Many of us are feeling weary with the immensity of transformation. Fire walking is not for the faint of heart. Welcome the bounty of Summer with long sits in Nature, plunges in your local streams, swinging on the porch with a paperback book, and conversations with beloveds sipping on homemade herbal teas. Nervines are allies in these times and I love lavender, oatstraw, rose, chamomile, and passionflower. As my beloved mentor, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés wrote, 'I hope you will go out and let stories, that is life, happen to you, and that you will work with these stories. . .water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom.' I invite you to meet up with me on Stars, Stones, and Stories as episode 31 The Songs of the Great Mother just dropped where we explore the Cancer New Moon coming next Venus Day.

Summer Blessings,
