How do we respond sensitively and proactively to change while remaining present and courageous in the face of new information and changing circumstances?  This will be a theme for the summer and early fall 2017.

Since April each of the planetary bodies closest to the earth has transited the initiatory and shape-shifting nakshatra of Ashwini in Aries, indicating that there have been impulses towards independent new directions and potential for a renewed focus on healing.  Mars, Mercury, the Sun and now Venus have begun new evolutionary cycles lasting 1 to 2 years, while retrograde Jupiter and Saturn have created delays and perhaps even false starts.  The specific areas of life where you are impacted and renewed are unique to your personal horoscope.

On June 9th we have a full moon in Scorpio which gives us the opportunity to explore beyond surface appearances to deeper sometimes uncomfortable emotional truths. The invitation here is transform anger and controlling tendencies into true power.  Keeping our motivations conscious and pure is supported by Jupiter going direct that same day which will give us more inspiration and faith in our belief systems and higher teachings, and also to heal.

Self-monitoring is recommended as Saturn retrogrades back through Gandanta from Sagittarius into Scorpio in June 21st. Saturn in Scorpio can bring up insecurities and fears around practical, material areas of life and asks us to remain conscious and courageous rather than being reactive to emotions and circumstances.

Change sometimes presents itself in a stormy fashion, however the current planetary lineup supports using strong mental capabilities to keep our compass at true north. We have to make the effort though, as four planets in Ardra nakshatra can bring some turmoil. The new moon June 23rd in creative Gemini especially encourages us to act and communicate intelligently and gives us the ability to negotiate in business and make sense of confusing or conflicting information.

What happens when you have 3 planets in Gemini?
