FIND CALM/CARRY ON     June 24-July 1

THEMES

  • With the Moon closing in on herself, it’s a propitious week to withdraw emotionally from the drama, especially after the “sis boom bah WHAT?” many experienced under last week’s Full Moo. Time to re-calibrate.

The Sun has moved into watery Cancer, home of the Moon. We are creatures of mood, insecurity, family-home focus and intuitive deployment. In our intuitive rhythms, a part of us is preparing for the July Eclipse Season of change.

Become more aware of choices, and which doors you want to walk through. Whenever Eclipse Seasons arrive, the exposure of hidden problems, and sudden changes push us into unknown territory. If you have some idea of where and how you wish to respond, it provides sustenance, and keep fear in check.

THE STORY

This relatively quiet week offers a well-earned rest between Full Moon Madness and next week’s Eclipse Mayhem. You may have gotten away with murder and not had anxiety wrapping you close, but this asks you consider caring for those who are getting ‘direct hits.’ Check your supply of: empathy, listening prowess, Emotional Intelligence, surrender of judgment, and Kleenex then reach out to hold those in need close.

A knowledgeable way to prepare for Eclipses is to look at what was eventful 19 years ago. Eclipses belong to families called Saros Cycles that cycle back around every 19 years. re-igniting and re-configuring what was important then. Despite the new ‘outfit, ’ the energy will be oh so familiar. In July of 2000 what were you dealing with? Loss of a job, adventure, a move, a new position. A baby, death, illness, a wedding?   Don’t let the form fool you. Pay attention to the emotion and how that emotion stirred you up. This is what returns. If nothing happened that was memorable, you get a pass. We all can’t be on stage all the time.

Because the Solar Eclipse of July 2 is in Cancer, it swells with a watery, emotional impact, not only for you, but for our country, whose Sun is very close to the degree of upcoming Eclipse. Its New moon seeds belong to an “excessive family. Its main theme being either news involving young people or news that transforms a situation….Don’t get carried away.” (*Bernadette Brady, The Eagle and the Lark.”)   You know that how you use this energy is what grows muscle. With this week’s relative quiet, tune in to being aware in order to step out from under old patterns. Ask what brings you to your knees: splits between heart and head, fears of separation and loss, drivers urging risk, directives to be more powerful. As Rumi wrote; “When the world pushes you to your knees, you’re in the perfect position to pray.”

Stay tuned next week for a look at how this Eclipse impacts the US and Trump.

YOUR PRACTICE THIS WEEK:  

Use mat-time to listen to what your body needs.  Trust your intuitive voice to tell you how to connect your heart-compass to body and brain.  Let breath be the Mercurial messenger between.  Take simple steps to expand where you hope to go.  What pose has had your name on it for a long time?  Visualize yourself in that pose then create three steps toward conquering it.  You don’t have to do it.  To win, you only have to try!

YOUR BIRTHDAY WEEK:

You are preparing to enter a bigger space, and wider world. With the July 2 Eclipse at 10 Cancer, the old applecart is very tippy. You feel it. You know it’s time for a large step into unknown territory. If it makes you feel safer, move toward it obliquely, crab-like. Feel your way into what resonates, rather than what you think is the right thing. Your EI-Emotional Intelligence is high now as Mercury and Mars are in Cancer with the Sun. This is also a very ‘spongy’ grouping that picks up other’s energies, so be aware and stay wide of toxic situations and people. Open yourself to the passionate hopes and dreams you are afraid to express. It’s now or never!
