The Wheel of Life turns…Your next chap­ter begins…And you pause, and you ponder…where does your sto­ry take you now, what realm of life, what dis­cov­er­ies and what won­ders await, and what life lessons do you face on the path ahead…what waits for you beyond this threshold?

You have come to anoth­er crossing…you are back again at one of the four great turn­ing points in the year…For each sea­son begins with a release, each quar­ter starts in one of the four Sacred Elements…and each sea­son starts with a Car­di­nal sign, a sign of beginnings.

You began the year 3 months ago in Fire, as you moved into the greater aware­ness of your Pres­ence…You then moved into Earth, going with­in your­self to embrace more tru­ly what you have, to make real your Val­ue. Final­ly, you entered Air, mov­ing out again to extend your under­stand­ing of the worlds around you, rev­el­ing in your most pre­cious gift of Intel­li­gence.

So you won­der, what now, what is this sen­sa­tion that you feel? Well it is exact­ly that! Because now you begin again, now you move into Water, now you move through the won­drous realm of Feel­ing. You move inward again, to seek for your Center…You need to bring all of your­self togeth­er now, you need to feel Whole, to be con­nect­ed with­in and with­out by an ener­gy that words can nev­er describe…and your turn to where it all began…you bring your­self Home.

Can­cer rules your Foundations…Cancer rules your Roots. You need to feel that you are part of some­thing greater, that you come from some­where, that you belong to something…and that this makes your life mean­ing­ful. You plant your feet firm­ly upon this path you share with those who trav­el with you, your Fam­i­ly, your Friends and you give and receive for one another…because…because you Care…For you are Spir­it, and you care for one another.

You nour­ish your­self by con­nect­ing with your past and you nour­ish oth­ers by car­ing for them here and now. You take your com­fort, you find your peace­ful place, in the feel­ing that you are you, whole and com­plete, cen­tered upon your truer self. Yet you are also you because you are one of count­less ones, who trav­el with­in a great jour­ney of light, of Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it, seek­ing to Know and Feel and Will into being the very Real­i­ty that is this, your Universe.

You are you because you belong to one anoth­er and you jour­ney togeth­er to a great, great destiny…You nur­ture your­self, you nur­ture one another…You Care for One Another…You are Cared for.

It is time, time to come home…

It is time to remem­ber, where you come from…

It is time to Stand upon your Rock of Ages…

As you look to the Stars…as you look upon your Destiny…

It is time, it is time…

To Come Home!

Around Mid­night June 20–23, 2012

Well this is Special…Two New Moons in Gem­i­ni! On May 20, the Sun entered Gem­i­ni and there was a New Moon on that very same day as well.

Now you get a sec­ond release of Gem­in­ian inspi­ra­tion, per­haps you should see your­self mov­ing through anoth­er Por­tal, (but this time it is a “Por­tal of Depar­ture” from the Airy realm of Gem­i­ni). The Sun slips into the Water sign of Can­cer tomor­row, the sign that rules your Home and your Origins…and life offers you the oppor­tu­ni­ty to give a hearty wel­come to a whole new sea­son of your life!

The fun­ny thing about a New Moon is that for you, here on Earth, the expe­ri­ence is one of mov­ing into a time of dark­ness, you expe­ri­ence the Moon’s presence…by her absence. That is because the Sun and Moon are in the same part of space dur­ing a New Moon, and so when the Sun sets so does the Moon…there is “no Moon” for you to see. But those Star­ry Heav­ens above stand revealed in all their glo­ry for you…and at this time of year it is a very spe­cial sight indeed!

This dark­ness con­tains a Great Light…it is a won­drous revelation…This Light shin­ing in the dark­ness pro­vides you with a very spe­cial and excel­lent oppor­tu­ni­ty. Six months ago, I wrote about the Sun pass­ing over that point in space around which every­thing in our galaxy piv­ots, the Galac­tic Cen­ter. Tonight (and for sev­er­al nights to come), you will have a most won­der­ful oppor­tu­ni­ty to look up at the sky and gaze upon that Galac­tic Cen­ter itself!

Prob­a­bly the best time is around 12 to 1 am when it is most high. By fac­ing south and look­ing up you will see splashed across your field of vision what has been called “The Milky Way”, which is formed by all the stars and gas­es between you on Earth and the Galac­tic Cen­ter. You will see a non-blink­ing “Star” to your right, which is actu­al­ly the plan­et Sat­urn set­ting in the West. By look­ing to its left and up just a lit­tle, you will notice that the Milky Way is most “thick” and “brighter” there…and that is the Galac­tic Center…your home.

For ages upon ages ago, you and every oth­er being in this cos­mos emerged from that point to begin a great journey…You came from this “Cen­tral Star”, stream­ing forth with all your fel­low trav­el­ers upon this great adven­ture of Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it. You, and every­one and every­thing in this galaxy are sparks of this one Divine Cen­ter, each and every one a con­scious­ness cen­ter, whirling through Time and Space as you unfold your potential…as you Cre­ate Real­i­ty and rise to a Greater Understanding.

So, go out tonight and gaze up in won­der and in awe…

For before you is your home, before you is your destiny…

You came from the Stars…

You are made of the Stars…

Your destiny…is to become a Star.

Shine On!

Six­ty days, that is how long it has been…that is how far you have come since you had your last encounter, your last great Reck­on­ing with Saturn…

But today is a dif­fer­ent kind of day, today the Sun meets Sat­urn in a beau­ti­ful trine aspect and all is good in the world, all is right between your High­er Self and You, between your Poten­tial (Sun) and your Real­i­ty (Sat­urn).

Back in April, you faced one of the four turn­ings. You came to one of the four car­di­nal cross­ing points that prod and poke you towards a greater under­stand­ing, that make you see how much space there is between your dream of your­self and your reality…and often, at such times, you can feel that there is a far, far span that lies before you still…

But today is dif­fer­ent, today you can see that your gap has closed, your dream a lit­tle clos­er, your pos­si­bil­i­ties are becom­ing probabilities…yes, you just might make it! Today, the uni­verse pro­vides encour­age­ment, by remind­ing you that your lim­its are only tem­po­rary, that they are more often than not self-imposed, but very nec­es­sary for your growth too.

For that is the nature of embod­i­ment, of man­i­fest­ing your dreams, of cre­at­ing your real­i­ty. Mov­ing from the Ide­al, unfold­ing your Dream into Real­i­ty, always involves lim­i­ta­tions as you move from the plane of Mind to the realm of Earth…but this also cre­ates your Realizations…that with­out the lim­its and lessons you encounter, with­out these you would not grow.

Today you find more com­fort­ing con­fir­ma­tion, as the ever-unfold­ing Real­i­ty more tru­ly reflects the ever-reveal­ing Ide­al you imag­ined, that the choic­es you made to lim­it your Self have cre­at­ed a new real­iza­tion for your Self.

Today you glide along, between Heav­en and Earth…

You are the bridge between what was and what might be…

Today, you are the Dreamer…you the Dream to be.

Her­mes crossed into Can­cer 4 days ago, greet­ed by a beau­ti­ful caress from Nep­tune in the sis­ter Water sign of Pisces…Now Mer­cury (your mind) faces a more daunt­ing prospect…Today, not one but two out­er plan­ets bring their atten­tions to bear upon your point of view…and they will not be denied!

Ear­li­er today Mer­cury runs into Uranus whose ener­gies impel you towards a freer, more open and eclec­tic atti­tude of mind. Uranus push­es Mer­cury to extend your mind beyond your ordi­nary assumptions…Those assump­tions have been focused late­ly upon mat­ters close to home. While in Can­cer Mer­cury seeks to bring you back to the cen­ter of your life, to your thought­ful-feel­ings of fam­i­ly, home, eth­nic­i­ty and all those ele­ments that will always con­nect you to your roots…

Uranus, usu­al­ly through some shock or sur­prise, seeks to chal­lenge your secu­ri­ty and roots now, so that you might see, which roots are true and which you should let go. You dis­cov­er what parts of your fam­i­ly or cul­ture res­onate for you and which do not. The fuller release of your indi­vid­u­al­i­ty depends upon this, this cen­ter­ing upon your truth, which comes through this cleav­ing to what is true and let­ting go of what is less true for you.

Those shocks and releas­es, that would be enough on any day…but the Uni­verse is build­ing up to the “Big Event”, Uranus Square Plu­to lat­er this month, and so after depart­ing Uranus Mer­cury runs right into the third of the out­er plan­ets, the Lord of Will and Bound­aries, Plu­to. What does this mean for you?

Mer­cury in Can­cer is seek­ing for the Cen­ter, div­ing to con­nect to the root of what­ev­er mat­ters to you so that you can feel whole and com­plete. Plu­to stands oppo­site in Capri­corn, bring­ing pres­sure to bear, with which to pull or push you. Plu­to’s influ­ence will appear to come from with­out, from some oth­er who is try­ing to either pull you to their cen­ter or push you off yours. You may feel you must give in or give way, or even to push back to prove your way…but the truth is you should see the oppor­tu­ni­ty that is here before you.

Plu­to’s chal­lenge is a gift, it is here to remind you to always hon­or and keep whole the sacred­ness of your space, as you equal­ly must hon­or the sacred space of every oth­er too. That when­ev­er you find your­self in some sort of strug­gle with anoth­er, a bat­tle of wills over points of view, beliefs or principles…that you under­stand that the real strug­gle, the real bat­tle will always be with your­self. For the only con­trol you must have and need is Self-Control!

The chal­lenge is to main­tain your cen­ter, to secure your sacred space…and to real­ize that this encounter has pro­vid­ed the very means by which you will more clear­ly feel, secure and hon­or what is more true to you. You will see what is tru­ly at your core because of this strug­gle, and that this is more than you ever could have achieved on your own.

Uranus shocks you…to free your mind…

Plu­to pres­sures you…to pre­serve your sacred space…

Togeth­er they steer and guide your Consciousness.…

Ever onward…To your Greater Understanding!

Your path­way of growth turns in a new direc­tion, your life expands into new dimen­sions as Jupiter makes his move into Gem­i­ni. Here is what I wrote about this in my year­ly forecast:

Jupiter Enters Gem­i­ni (June 11)

The biggest plan­et “hops over the prover­bial can­dle­stick” (again and again), as it moves through the sign of nim­ble­ness, intel­li­gence and com­mu­ni­ca­tion. The over­all ener­gy lev­el (thoughts, com­mu­ni­ca­tions and actions) will expand great­ly, but you will need to work on try­ing to main­tain direc­tion­al­i­ty and focus. Advances will be made in all forms of net­work­ing, and indi­vid­u­als and groups will have access to more and more infor­ma­tion. The ques­tion will be: “Do we real­ly have more under­stand­ing or are we mere­ly becom­ing more distracted”?

Jupiter is mov­ing from Earth to Air, from expand­ing the under­stand­ing of your Val­ue to stretch­ing the under­stand­ing of your Mind. Dur­ing this past year, while Jupiter played in the Gar­dens of Tau­rus, you had numer­ous oppor­tu­ni­ties to devel­op your appre­ci­a­tion of your self-worth. You deep­ened the con­nec­tions to your true source of val­ue, your ever-unfold­ing poten­tial that pours forth from with­in, from your Self.

Jove’s shift into Gem­i­ni draws you into his world of mar­velous mul­ti­plic­i­ties, a daz­zling array of new oppor­tu­ni­ties await you for the com­ing year. Your growth will take the form of greater under­stand­ings and more com­plex and wider con­nec­tions. Jupiter’s pas­sage through Air favors all forms of intel­lec­tu­al inspi­ra­tion as you more eas­i­ly form more mean­ing­ful con­nec­tions with­in your mind and in the world around you. Ques­tions and puz­zles that seemed beyond res­o­lu­tion will be resolved in the light of Greater Under­stand­ing. Your spir­it will soar as you push back the bound­aries and explore wider spaces…

As always with Jupiter, be cir­cum­spect with your new-found enthusiasms…You need to remain mind­ful that too much of any­thing is, well, Too Much! Enjoy the surge of ener­gies cours­ing through you…but it is up to you to bring them to bear and main­tain your focus. You cer­tain­ly can expand from one into many activ­i­ties and direc­tions, but remem­ber that there comes a point where you dis­perse your ener­gies over­much and your poten­tial for real growth is wast­ed in the hubris of your every and all…

Cel­e­brate your New Cycle of Growth…

Let the Winds of the Spir­it car­ry you through the Por­tal of Gemini…

You are ris­ing to the challenge…ever onward to your opportunities!

You, now filled with awe, as you behold the Won­ders of your Universe!
