June 13-19, 2005

It's the last week of spring, the awareness near the top of our seasonal roller coaster (summer solstice), on the brink of major energy release. Our soul vitality (sun) is anchored by deep power at the bottom of things (Pluto in Sagittarius). The activating impulse (Mars) has crossed into individual passion (Aries), giving everything a stimulating kick.

The week begins with the heart spirit in fruitful productivity (moon in Virgo). Tuesday, wise mind grinds to a stop and begins months of deepening, internalizing, in tenderness (Uranus retrograde in Pisces). Wednesday, the heart crosses into colorful love awareness, this year reinforced by expansive creativity (moon in Libra, with Jupiter). Quick mind, charged with creativity, is blending with wisdom in emotional sensitivity (Mercury square Jupiter, trine Uranus in water signs).

Friday night, and for the weekend, the heart moves into undeniable magnetic feeling (moon in Scorpio), just as the soul has reached the pinnacle of mentality (sun in Gemini). Early next week the heart will hit bottom as the soul goes over the top, and, with the beginning of summer, a powerful wave, building for awhile, will start to break out in drama and style.
