We've reached the top of our "seasonal roller coaster," where energy that's been building for awhile shifts into flowing release. It's kicked off with a big full moon in primal earthiness Tuesday night, 6/21. Since expansive Jupiter is in Libra this year, aligning with deep feeling Neptune at the peak of Aquarius, there's a powerful undercurrent of awareness, especially dreams of true love and real harmony, that is a strong component of what will be unfolding this summer. By autumn, and for the next year, Jupiter will move into the focusing emotional intensity of Scorpio. Though I am concerned about what this will catalyze in the conflict between the power of nature (good) and tension-based control (not so good), it seems that whatever is going to happen will be part of a great purification, no matter the trauma it may involve. May it be a clarifying, healing experience for all of us.

Amidst the challenge of intensifyng times and the difficulties of a troubled culture reaching critical crisis, the underlying divinity of creation is always there to support us with enduring nurturance. We must give in, and let the light of true nature have its way with us.
