Horoscope for the Week beginning June 8
Tip of the Week
Here at the mid-point of the last official month of spring 2018, we have reason to reflect. Gemini is ever the curious one… archetype, I mean.
No person is actually their sign. Rather, they were born during the time of that archetypal influence. Because astrology is planet focused, it is tempting to assume that the influences come from the planets, strictly speaking. This is not the case. The planets can best be understood as features of a larger process, call it the solar system machine. In simple terms, one has to think holistically to really understand astrology and how it works.
It is common to encounter confusion when comparing astronomy with astrology.
To some, because of the paradigm that guides the perceptions and interpretations of astronomers, erroneously understood as objective and final interpretations, the linear conclusion is that astrology should not work. How unscientific for anyone to make such an assertion, because by studying astrology, one soon learns that it does indeed work. How? Not according to the limited conclusions of physics, at least those that do not embrace a holistic perspective on reality.
To be fair, astronomy is based on linear observations and facts, so those who adhere to it should not be expected to think holistically.
The synchronistic ‘effects’ of Pluto in astrology defy linear interpretations. Based on its size and distance, its position and the aspects it makes should not have an effect. Yet it does and a powerful one at that. It is a bit like thinking that your little toe does not have an effect on you because it is way down there. That is the riddle to solve. Here’s a hint: the solar system when understood holistically can be understood in that way as a ‘cosmic whole.’
Everything that happens within it is part of the same whole. The adjoining aspect of this riddle is that it manifests in our life here on earth. Yes, that is impossible… when your paradigm is linear and materialistic. The solution to this riddle: we live in a conscious universe.
June 8-14
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Your charisma continues to rise steadily. At least this is true in as much as you have come realize that taking a ‘my way or my way’ rebellious and headstrong approach usually backfires. Besides, focusing more attention on home and family where you are in the mood to nurture harmony and beauty might keep you out of trouble. Get creative!
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
Although you are charging ahead externally, an inner healing process is also underway. This healing process will last a while, several years in fact. It appears that it is linked to your nervous system… so perhaps take a deeper look. This is also an invitation to look beyond traditional approaches. Embrace the emerging global village and investigate other philosophies.
Inspirations to investigate new territory are yours to enjoy. These may come in the way of creative ideas to make money. Yet, there is the possibility that a new love interest has caught your fancy. Not that your love is directed at a person, per se’… In fact, the love could be based on what more than who. Then again, it is spring, so a crossover is a distinct possibility.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
A busy time behind the scenes continues. Then again, you could be busy catching up on sleep. That still counts for doing something, actually. Yet, you also yearn to express yourself somehow. The downside is that you have to make extra efforts while you otherwise simply want to be playful and adventurous. How to reconcile these conflicting desires… that is the question?
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
One way or another you have entered an apprenticeship phase in your life. It includes the processes of developing more confidence. This is as much a spiritual process as anything else. In other words, you are meant to exercise surrender and faith in your destiny. Of course, you are the co-creator of your life. For now, keep focusing on the details.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
Your career is getting a boost. That you are the one boosting it is the fine print. A slow but sure pace is ideal these days. The main thing is that you recognize that you are supposed to step more fully into your power. This is the visionary foundational phase. So, trust those intuitive ideas and act on them. As the saying goes, if you think you might fail, focus to fail big!
A series of powerful processes continue to rumble within. These are linked to your personal power. You are destined to answer to your inner authority above all. So, what is it saying? It is true that it can sometimes be a bully. Like a military sergeant, it wants you to acknowledge and confront your fears. If you are wondering how, start with acknowledgment.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
For the past… oh… decade or so… destiny has been guiding you to open your mind. We are all subject to subconscious beliefs ingrained in our formative years. As tenacious as these often are, they are not invincible. This is where that notion of annihilating the ego comes to the fore. What this means is learn to become soul-centered as opposed to ego-centered. This is the key to intuition.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
A process of building upon new foundations continues. A process of renovation is implied. It is the sort where the deadwood is replaced with the new. It will take time, upwards to a couple of years anyway. This time period can be described as one of ‘paying your dues’. The focus now is to nurture your connections and make friends.
Whether by choice or circumstance, or both, you have entered new territory. If ever there was a time to take a powerful lead, this is one of them. Yet, you might not feel entirely sure of your direction. You might even describe it as something of an identity crisis. However, it could better be described as a forging a new identity.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
The past that is steadily dissolving can be understood as a liberation process. It is not over yet, not at all actually, but it does not mean that you are not in a progressive mode. In fact, it may be just the opposite. For most, it would usually manifest as a time of disintegration. That is the advantage of having your Sun in Aquarius: everything is reversed.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
A steady flow of returns for past efforts has begun to flow in. It still remains important that you act on them. In fact, there are indications that the time is right to invest in them fully. This is your chance to advance to the next level. So, think risk and advancement and be willing to do the necessary groundwork. PS, when you think or say the word ‘should’ take a good look in the mirror.
