We come into a beautiful Solar Eclipse on New Moon and it is also called a Ring of Fire as the moon centralizes itself between the Sun and Earth. On the West Coast, we will more likely be able to see this (but of course, don’t look directly at it…remember?) The moon will be at apogee (meaning farthest from earth) and thus does not appear to cover the whole Sun..leaving the Ring of Fire. This sight will stir inspirational feelings and create a wonderful sacred attunement for those who choose to align in such a fashion.
 
 
At New Moon, the Sun and Moon are hip-to-hip (or heart-to-heart) in Gemini. This will create a desire to communicate from your inner plane (the Moon) to your Higher Self (the Sun) and activate this wisdom into Matter (Sun/Moon opposite Earth). With the Earth and, Moon and Sun all squaring Neptune, a T-Square is formed, calling for the tension necessary to assist the purification noted below with Mars and Chiron. Let your intuition communicate from your higher plane of existence, channel that information through your personal mind and heart and allow the more positive expressions to come through that will direct your ability to use the gifts of ideas that support you and all of humanity in the plane of healing and creative endeavors.
 
 
The Grand Cross has left us by New Moon, but an opposition remains with tension ongoing between Mars in Virgo and Chiron in Neptune. They are in the tightest moments on the 17th and 18th’ but still affecting the ranges of consciousness within us at New Moon. The gift of this challenge is allowing a final purification and healing (Mars and Virgo) of the old wounds and secrets of the past (Chiron and Pisces). Shall you choose to take charge of your inner plane of unconscious challenges, you can move into healthy actions that provide you with the ways and means to shape-shift and take charge of the sacred compartments of your life, allowing them to flow through with Ancient Wisdom in a Modern Day reality! You can learn and live with the truth that you are the only person in charge of your reactions to your emotional self, healthy or unhealthy states of consciousness. This tension will reveal your willingness to make the changes that activate your power to lead your emotional and mental states into higher intentions that you desire to manifest.
 
 
Fortunately, at the New Moon, Mercury is in the well-grounded sign of Taurus and can continue to help you maintain a good mental focus and clarity. This can provide you with an ability to effectively use your power of resourcefulness to activate the voice of your soul and use the inner wisdom to consciously choose to Master your life and the processes of your life experiences (Taurus = Universal Law of Life Mastery; Mercury = Universal Law of Expression).
 
 
Jupiter continues its crossing through Taurus calling on humanity to seek to know the higher truth of Spirit in Matter and live the Opulence of Divine Presence. Jupiter is feeling little “digs” from Pluto in Capricorn, reminding Jupiter to make sure transmutations are occurring at the personal and global level in order to allow the more dynamic level of the soul(s) to emerge into action for higher achievements in life.
 
 
Uranus continues to be in a challenge with Pluto…seeking the Freedom to take off onto life goals, but, again, Pluto is asking, “Have you really made changes that allow you to live at the Transpersonal levels of consciousness or are you going to head out with an attitude that you are the only important factor and forget you are part of All and able to hear that from the depths of your soul?”
 
 
This year, we are most certainly being asked if we are getting a positive handle on the changes? Are we really taking in the truth of our Sacred state of Empowerment? Are will still hanging on to the victim stages of living (everyone else does the bad things…but we don’t; and they do the bad things to us….leaving us out of the mix of being responsible for our reality)? We are cultivators of a new reality….very important that we don’t hold on to the old realities of not being an empowered, loving and inclusive being. We are cultivating the new garden of life with many creative powers being released from the dynamic level of our Source Consciousness and Neptune in Pisces has been leading the way for a short-while now.
 
 
Venus is going to be completing a Transit started in 2008 and finishing in 2012 that only occurs every 200 years. Venus (though very small in our sight) crosses between the Earth and the Sun and we see a tiny dot eclipsing some of the Sun’s light. Those in the Northern Hemisphere can see it on June 5th. (Again, don’t look directly at the Sun). The transit will occur more at sunset for the Northern Hemisphere and then on June 6th the transit will occur at sunrise for the Southern Hemisphere.
 
 
Transits like Venus effect our DNA….what a gift. Like the Pearlized Soft Green rays of light, Venus will perpetuate the shape-shifting of our DNA. Venus will be in retrograde motion, thus calling us within to gain the wisdom of this changing time…..But there is more…..
 
 
We can see the transit of Venus in Gemini providing even more technologically creative processes advancing (what more will we see beyond iPads, smart phones, etc.?) our world of communication. In the retrograde, this may call for more techy people trying to “reverse engineer” the products that keep us in the field of bitsstreams looking for the binary formulas for new products.
 
Also, on a more personable vein with the Transit of Venus, look for writers to bring more of a gentle nudging toward nurturing and natural awareness to keep the body and mind in harmony. Look for ways and means to communicate about relating with others on a more heart-to-heart level rather than simple mind games. And, most certainly, this Venus power brings about more wisdom of the Feminine Side of the Divine..the Goddess…WomanSpirit. The Call to stay Awake in the Stream of the Feminine Consciousness will occur. It calls for women and men alike to honor the powers of nurturing, caring, loving, creating and streaming with the gifts of harmony so the new world can carry the Light Stream of Peace.
 
 
I’ll speak more of this alignment as we get closer to June 5th. However, the energy is already building and the Divine Design is already taking shape…
