June 2004 | Starwatch
Self-expression in full bloom
By James Jarvis, M.A.
By adding the universal year 2004 (2+0+0+4=6) to the 6th month of June, we come up with the vibration 12/3. The 3 month is a time for tapping into joy through creative self-expression. What aspect of your creativity wants to come out this month? Are you a closet painter, writer, dancer or musician? Is there something that you are really passionate about that you would like to share with others but have been holding back? Use this month to discover your hidden talents.
JUNE 1-4 — REVIST YOUR VALUES
Venus in Gemini is in a challenging aspect to Pluto in Sagittarius early in the month. Venus/Pluto asks us to go deeper than our normal pattern of superficial day-to-day communication. If someone asks you “How are you?” you have the opportunity to tell the truth. It’s also a time to get in touch with your core values.
JUNE 3 — HEIGHTEN YOUR IDEALISM
With the full moon in Sagittarius, the focus this month is on emotional self-expression, heightened idealism and nurturing yourself by embracing your spiritual quest. The challenge is to tune in to your natural optimism, awe and trust. The full moon in Sagittarius is asking you to take whatever steps are necessary so that you can be more fully nurtured and inspired.
JUNE 5-19 — DRIVING THE INFORMATION HIGHWAY
Mercury will travel through the sign of Gemini from June 5 to 19. The focus is on communication and the dissemination of information. What is it that you’ve wanted to communicate or share with your friends that time has not allowed? How are you growing on an intellectual or mind level? Mercury in Gemini is a time when our minds want to be active: studying, reading, researching and certainly chatting with others. This is a great month to write letters, make short trips, take a course that enlivens your mind or just get together with friends for far-ranging conversations about what’s going on in the world.
JUNE 8-9 — STIMULATE YOUR MIND
Mercury in Gemini is in a challenging relationship with Uranus in Pisces on these two days. Mercury/Uranus transits stimulate the concrete mind with intuitive information being downloaded from higher mind. It is a time for brainstorming new possibilities.
JUNE 10-NOVEMBER 10 — TUNE IN TO YOUR ENERGY
Uranus goes retrograde at 6 degrees Pisces on June 10 and won’t go direct again until November 10. Uranus retrograde is a time to deepen our attunement to the subtle and not-so-subtle energy that is constantly flowing through our bodies. What is being asked of us during this next five months is to gradually dissolve the blocks that prevent energy from running in our bodies. Wherever there is resistance to increased energy there is tension. One of the best methods to deal with resistance is to notice where the holding is and then begin releasing the tension through breathing practices, meditation and bodywork.
JUNE 6-14 — TRUST YOUR GUT
With Mars in Cancer in opposition to Chiron, the focus is on healing the wounds we have around trusting our own gut instincts. Each of us has an exquisite guidance system within (the gut or instinctual center) that is always aware of the truth. Mars/Chiron transits are an opportunity to reclaim and validate your own inner authority. This may require you to learn to let go of the conscious mind long enough that your inherent gut wisdom can surface without being censored.
JUNE 17-21 — EXPRESS YOUR JOY
Venus in Gemini is in a challenging relationship with Jupiter in Virgo over this long weekend. Venus/Jupiter aspects put the focus on getting in touch with your desires and needs for physical and emotional nurturing in your relationships. Go out and have fun together. It’s a good time to be physically active.
JUNE 19-JULY 4 — SPEAK UP FOR YOURSELF
Mercury travels through the sign of Cancer in the second half of the month. With Mercury in Cancer, it is a time for all of us to speak out more honestly about what we are feeling. For those who consider themselves emotionally centered, this is a time to communicate more clearly about what you are feeling, because you will be able to use the natural discriminative qualities of the mind to clarify your emotions. For those who are more intellectually centered, this is a time to suspend the critical faculties long enough for the underlying emotion to be heard.
JUNE 19-21 — SERVE THE COLLECTIVE
Venus in Gemini is in a positive configuration with Neptune in Aquarius. Venus/Neptune asks us to balance our personal desires with our impulse to serve the collective. Use this transit to open your heart and to discover how you can put your compassion and unconditional love for others into action.
JUNE 23-AUGUST 10 — DISCOVER YOUR PASSION
With Mars in Leo for an extended stay, the heat is turned up in the passion department. The positive pole or higher meaning of passion is self-actualization, so I’m not just speaking about sexuality here. Since Mars rules the power chakra (how you assert your will) and Leo the heart chakra, Mars in Leo naturally creates a strong inner desire to express your passions. These will be good days to let those passions out.
