From June 5th to the 11th even when we know what we want, it is helpful to have a trained ear for the cries of others.
Postponing our own progress to assist another has its own rewards. Opening our hearts allows generosity to multiply. Freedom comes from helping others and staying detached.
5th – Monday – Venus Contra-parallel Pluto, Venus enters Leo, Venus Opposite Pluto, Sun Sesquiquadrate Pluto –
Compulsions are strong. Self-analysis can reveal an underlying inner war. Do we believe that we can’t get, or don’t deserve the things we crave? In either case, no outer world activity will bring peace or satisfaction. Only transformation works, and this is an inside job.
6th – Tuesday – Sun Contra-parallel Pluto –
Others step up to help us when we are on the right track. We may be tempted to go outside the boundaries of common sense or even common decency. Generally, we are better off staying within the confines of convention. We are experiencing the last gasps of things put in motion long ago.
7th – Wednesday – Tension can build if we are not able to establish the harmony we envision. Our capacity to tolerate other people’s shortcomings is tested. Freedom comes by disconnecting from the cycle of change going on around us. Popularity and recognition are nice but don’t take care of the basic requirements of life.
8th – Thursday – Other people’s distemper and unsettledness don’t need to ruin our day. Yes, we all affect each other in the process of just existing, but we can channel circumstances in the environment. Repurposing anger, violence, and anxiety only requires forethought and determination. The extra energy is nice.
9th – Friday – Mercury Sextile Neptune –
Even when our memory is porous, valuable insights stream into consciousness. Integrating our rational thought process with psychic perceptions is fairly easy when we stay relaxed. Detachment helps when our mind moves slowly but events keep speeding up.
10th – Saturday – Mercury Parallel Uranus –
Milking last week’s insights for more information is actually rewarding. So much has happened so quickly that it is worth backing up for a second look. We may have forgotten the feeling of exhilaration and hope that earlier insights brought us.
11th – Sunday – Mars Sesquiquadrate Neptune, Pluto Retrogrades back into Capricorn, Mercury Trine Pluto, Mercury enters Gemini, Venus Square Jupiter, Mercury Parallel Mars –
Timing is everything. But, how to get it right? Even though we have an eye for the future, what we need and want right now has the most value. We can’t “have our cake and eat it too.” The conflict between professed ideals and the method for fulfilling them can place us in a dilemma. The ends don’t justify the means. The ends are the means.
