June 6-12, 2005

After months of backtracking and internalizing, the tide of expansive creativity (Jupiter) has begun to move forward again, in love mindedness (Libra). By the end of this week Mars will enter Aries and give it a kick.

Monday is the Gemini new moon, heart and soul (moon and heart) aligned in the mentality near the top of our seasonal roller coaster (summer solstice). They are anchored by the pull of deep feelings at the peak of awareness (Neptune in Aquarius). Late Tuesday the moon (heart) moves into release, joining Venus (beauty) in Cancer for a couple days of flowing feeling. Tension breaks between mind and power (Mercury opposite Pluto). Friday the moon progresses into Leo, the peak passion of mid-summer. Tension breaks between mind and action (Mercury square Mars), beauty and creativity (Venus square Jupiter). Late Friday night mind (Mercury) also goes over the top into emotional flow (Cancer).

Saturday night Mars, planet of expression, crosses into Aries, the spark of early spring. This is activating. Beauty is blending with wisdom in sensitivity (Venus trine Uranus in water signs). Sunday the moon is through the peak of Leo's radiant passion, heading into practical Virgo. Sitting at the top of the seasonal cycle, full of awareness and thought, momentum is shifting to outflow, with a spark of motivating fire that is powering us toward a break-out summer.
