Mars Retrograde
The great news is that this Mercury ruled Gemini season was swollen with ideas and creativity that inspired and motivated many to do a variety of projects. Thus, without a detailed plan with measurable specifics that will help in reaching accomplishments, we can expect that “flying by the seat of your pants,” improvisational challenge necessary to keep us all on our toes. Indeed we may struggle with private and emotional challenges while we seek to resolve the grief and fallout from similar struggles with a very publicly shared crusade for freedom and sovereignty.
The Key? Let the struggles unite us instead of crush us under the law of destruction I refer to as “divide and conquer!” Look for the lines of cooperation and intersecting experiences and build a bridge of understanding and empathy for yourself and invite others to co-mingle.
Dare to dream…
Gemini Constellation: Castor and Pollux, the Gemini Twins are represented by a star at the crown of each twins head. These twins also went on a quest with Jason as two of the Argonauts. The female Gemini twins are Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra.

Sagittarius originally went by the name of Chiron. Instead of being just “The Archer,” Chiron was also known as the “wounded healer” and the “teacher of heroes.” He was mortally wounded by one of the arrows that Hercules dipped in the poisonous and fatal blood of the Lernaean Hydra. Since Chiron was an immortal, he suffered profoundly but could not die. Hercules strikes a deal with Zeus to have Prometheus released from being chained to a rock for giving fire to humans and in exchange for the sacrifice of Chiron’s life. Since Chiron was the teacher of such heroes as Achilles, Jason of Argos and the Gemini twins, he was placed among the stars.
Full moon in Sagittarius should encourage you not to get caught up in looking for what might be rather than what is. If you have to question whether anything is real please move on. The opportunity to be Batman like has passed with the Scorpio moon. Since Eris and Uranus are conjunct in Aries, people are anxious for change and this climate favors revolution over reform. Besides checking your media outlets, just checking in with people in your life will show you that people are ready for huge sweeping changes that put an end to plutocracy, oligarchy and xenophobic inequity.
Whenever Mars is transiting retrograde we are often touching upon deep-seated and often disguised forms of rage – passion, heat, energy, and ambition. We might not be consciously aware of that which is stirring deep within the psyche. Decisions, events and circumstances that surface around the time of the transiting Sun – Mars opposition identify a specific area in which we need to come to conscious awareness. Psychologically, it is necessary to expel the festering and toxic energy in order to become a more productive person. The opposition Point can be an explosive moment that clears the air or it may ignite a series of frustrations which 
Indeed so many beautiful souls have transitioned during Jupiter in Virgo. This solstice is the “tabula rasa” of Virgo perfection playing out through Jupiter in Virgo just before Jupiter moves into love goddess Libra September 9, at 11:17:58 am UT. This will be 8 days after the Annular Solar Eclipse September 1st. 9:06 am UT. Jupiter in Virgo plays a critical role during this full moon download because it is square with Saturn in Sagittarius and opposes Chiron, Neptune and the north node in Pisces. Of course all of the solar bodies in the mutable signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces have us oscillating under a grand mutable cross.
I would be remiss if I did not mention Virgo’s connection to the number 9 in numerology or the Hermit Trump card in the Atu of Tehuti (The Tarot). All of the drama and intensity that comes forth at the completion of a cycle is part of Virgo’s purification process that teaches us all how to transmute tragedy into triumph using the natural alchemy of the shaman in each one of us. It is the path of getting in tune with our medicine wo/man. Sagittarius energy teaches us to embrace it all, even if you think you cannot handle it, knowing that we must always take our best shot without being weighed down by fear.
When clear intent has been set on something such as world peace, the underlying constructs of reality shift and a new reality begins filtering into human experience. Make no mistake: great change is seeded by conscious dreamers who understand and know that they are co-creating the larger dream.
According to the sky teachings of Mesoamerica, the full moon takes place during kin 183 or Blue Magnetic Night. Dreams and intuition will be very high this week along with the opportunity to discover more about your life’s purpose. Now we can double down on the strong sense of self-empowerment that will assist you in making the seemingly impossible look like a piece of cake. Blue Magnetic Night is a number one tone and it has the power to unify us all. If there was ever a time to meditate on world peace, this is the time. So magnetism, charm/charisma and mysterious journeys will be pushing and prodding you to look at the world subjectively. Don’t think about your socially imposed limitations, focus on the wildest possibilities as it leads to the stimulation of ideas that inspire us to engineer dreams that we normally dismiss as simple whims.
Right as we pass the 29º of Gemini into the full on “sniper” season that is the Cancer sun, The dragon within us all will stir as we push backwards and forwards to protect the past while we slowly stir in the ingredients necessary to create the future. With Uranus and Eris still conjoined, you can expect a few more intense shocks before June ends. I cannot emphasize enough that this full moon is in the Leo decan of the Sagittarius moon so everyone will be seeking attention that you might not have the patience for. Keep in mind that during Sagittarius influence, we must embrace our light and shadow or our, “beauty and the beast,” characteristics if we want a more honest measure of how much work it will take to become the greatest iteration of ourselves.
This is the month of June, named after the Roman “Queen of Heaven,” Juno. Of course her name in Greece is Hera, in Persia is Astarte, and in Egypt she is known as the goddess Auset or Isis. This is the time of the year when the goddess Isis shakes her sistrum to help blast away all that is not needed so that you can recreate your own world at your discretion. The use of the sistrum also suggest that all things in existence need to be shaken, or rattled about, and should never cease from motion. Like the Goddess Kali and the period of the Kali Yuga suggest, without destruction, there would be no space to create anything new. So lets not focus on that which we have potentially lost in this world. Let’s focus on the possibility of that which we can co-create next!
