Across the Threshold     June 27-July 3

 

Do you feel you have crossed a threshold? Re-set your compass for True North? Inked templates to a new cycle? Many Astrologers feel that the Solstice and Equinox offer earth four yearly opportunities for greater connection to higher personal realms, and evolutionary acceleration. It’s worth considering. What we believe, becomes our truth, and god knows, we need evolution to accelerate NOW. As I wrote last week, the Cancer New Moon, which was a Super Moon, was closely aligned with the Summer Solstice, offering an impassioned opportunity to connect to our emotional intelligence, as well as a portal offering wider dimensions of intuitive understanding, and compassionate intention. It certainly intensified emotional volatility as we pushed against and questioned new direction and decisions under a Cardinal Grand Cross. Simply put, this cross accesses and asks us to balance self and other, home and work. Its energies are operational from mid-June to mid-July, giving time to integrate, and move beyond old reactionary habits.

 What are your transformative hopes at this time? Despite the nurturing, watery energies that continue washing through us, contrarian planetary connection make it difficult to maintain the quiet introspection of Cancer’s receptivity. Not only the Grand Cross pushes and pulls, but a rip tide of emotion affects us due to Venus trine Pluto, followed on the 29th by Mercury’s opposition to the Dark Knight. These contacts take us to bottom layers of emotional and mental responses. When aligned with Venus, Pluto asks: Who do you love? What do you value? What must die to get what you need? These are issues coming home in very personal ways, with not always longed for answers. But it’s important we face the questions. A high price is paid in suppressing emotion. Cancer as an illness, can grow from denying Cancerian emotion. Disregarding physical needs, or suppressing the pain of old family wounds, denies our wholeness.

 As Mars and Mercury travel side by side in Cancer this week, we are more attentive to emotional, non-linear communication. Cancer ‘s Yin defenses make home, and safety a priority. With Mars here, we express in all too easy defense reactions, opening doors to angry exchanges. The same energy can be used in expressing what and how you can commit, and create opportunity to blend mind-body layers. Grow more honest with your feelings. Express from the gut. Feel safe in being vulnerable. When done with love, there is hope we will survive this maelstrom.

 Your Birthday Week: This year your imagination and sensitivity run high, offering enjoyment in time alone, or meditation. Reclaim lost parts of yourself that were abandoned in order to survive. Pay attention to dreams, and subtle energies washing through the body as these can guide you toward new creativity and commitments, as well as wholeness. It can be a profoundly regenerative year bringing you home to yourself. Be brave. Risk. You have nothing to lose but yourself.

Astrological consultation:  It is a particularly good time to look at your life from an objective, non-judgmental point of view. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR JULY & AUG. BIRTHDAYS, DUE TO BIG ECLIPSE ENERGIES IN AUGUST. Consider a soul-centered consult with Samantha Cameron to discover how to better use your inherent genius, your compassionate awareness. Understand your past, accept and love the present, and plan your abundant future.         Email  samcatcam@gmail.com

Your Practice the Week: As written last week, it’s important and easy right now to connect consciousness to belly, and mind to heart through sinew and bone. Listen to the wisdom of your body, for it is especially potent in Cancer’s oceanic flow. We grow more intuitive and knowledgeable when we can cross generate and integrate all areas of life while on the mat, just as when we are emotionally disturbed, digging down to enhance the root system, helps balance life’s extremes. We recognize that Yoga is a perfect expression in using the body in service to non-linear communications, and releasing turbulent feelings. Stand your mat. Prepare your unique ‘cosmic one-two punch’ to respond to the world’s turbulence.
