Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, June 16th

Aries 

The New Moon that occurs today, dear Aries, is aligned with your ruler, Mars, and influences your sector of communications and transportation. This can stimulate a strong desire to make yourself heard, to initiate a new project, to launch a business endeavor or a new line, or to start a course of study. The urge to branch out, to reach out to others, and to add more variety to your life is with you now, in spades. Communicating with others is in focus now. There can be new transportation opportunities in the coming weeks, or opportunities can arise through siblings, errand running, neighborhood activities, on the phone, or schooling. In some cases, there can be a breakdown or closing down of a mode of transportation or communication, which in turn prompts a need to do things differently with associated opportunities and new experiences. This New Moon also encourages you to put more of your personality into the work you do or into your communications.

Taurus

A New Moon today encourages you to put more of your energy into building your life in creative ways, dear Taurus. It can serve to fuel your enthusiasm for making yourself more secure and comfortable. Taking charge of your personal finances can play a big role in this, but so can working on developing your natural talents or your current resources in order to make better use of all you have to give. The New Moon is aligned with assertive, bold Mars, making this a powerful time for taking the lead, going after what you want with more courage, and revealing a more confident “you” in your business affairs. Some of you could be launching new projects, acting on a money-making idea, or pursuing a raise or bonus. There may be opportunities in the coming weeks to become more productive or to improve the management of your finances.

Gemini

There has been a strong focus on your personal plans in recent weeks, dear Gemini, but today’s New Moon acts can function on some level as a clean slate as well as a motivator to go forward with them. You are large and in charge right now, and you have more courage and energy to make needed changes in your life, particularly related to your health, image, personality, manner, and appearance. Before this lunation this morning, focus on letting go of excess mental or emotional baggage so that you can go forward with a lighter load and a happier disposition. If you feel that you could use a “restart”, this is it. News might arrive this week that points you in a new direction.

Cancer

There has been much activity in your soul sector in the last few weeks, dear Cancer, and this has put the focus on the past, endings, rest, reflection, privacy, and solitude. The New Moon today stimulates the courage to handle these matters. With Mars involved, you can be more courageous and perhaps a little strict about putting something behind you, and this can be very positive and helpful. You may want to watch for speaking of something too soon today. Otherwise, this New Moon can push you on a new path of self-discovery and empowerment, which will help you as the Sun moves into your sign on the 21st, when the focus is on you, your needs, and your plans.

Leo

There has been a strong focus on your connections to friends and groups in recent weeks, dear Leo, and for many of you, long-term goals as well. This can be an important time in your life for collaboration. The New Moon today brings the take-charge energy you need to put a plan in motion, as well as inspiration for new ideas and goals to work towards. Mars with the New Moon points to leadership, courage, and action. Your sense of community is strong, and emotional satisfaction can come through your interactions with, or support of, friends and associates. The coming week is strong for new starts, publishing efforts, studies and courses, and making personal changes.

Virgo

There has been a strong emphasis on your professional and reputation sector in the last few weeks, dear Virgo, and today’s New Moon in this same house of your solar chart brings you a shot of energy and verve for pursuing your goals or for putting projects into motion. You’re clearer about putting something behind you in order to move forward. You may be excited about a new launch. Some of you will be bringing new life to a business project, career, or life plan, and some will be starting fresh with a new one. You are especially motivated to move your work ahead. Job offers or recognition for what you do can come your way this week. Mars with this New Moon adds a dash of courage and is strong for solo efforts, but it can also be a little too impatient, and it’s wise not to push something forward too quickly. Remember that this is only the beginning!

Libra

The New Moon today brings a boost of energy, gumption, and confidence in areas of life that have been themes for the past few weeks, dear Libra. This week, you may be setting plans in motion that involve new experiences, adventures, educational pursuits, and that lead to a bigger understanding of your life’s purpose beyond career and relationship matters. This can also be a good time for publishing or speaking – sharing your experiences, reaching beyond the ordinary, and reaching out to more people. Routines are, of course, vital to your life, but the energy with you now encourages moving beyond these things once in a while. It’s time to feed your spirit and remind yourself why you’re here. You might be making educational or travel plans now. This particular New Moon is also about relationships for you, as people in your life or new friends can help inspire or support you in your efforts.

Scorpio

A New Moon occurs today in a sector of your chart that rules emotional intimacy, trust, sharing, bonding with others, and power dynamics, dear Scorpio. On a more mundane level, this house also rules debts to others as well as shared resources or non-income monies coming in. This is the eighth house, and while it rules closeness with a partner, it is not about the surface harmony that we saw in the seventh house. Instead, it’s about deeper bonding and intimacy. New Moons stir up desires and also bring a feeling of a fresh start, new beginning, and the need to take charge. This is your chance to relate with a partner in a more creative way, to work on trust issues, and to tackle power dynamics. It’s also a good cycle in which to pay off debts, handle taxes, ask for a loan, or seek out support of a more emotional nature. People are a little more willing to offer it. Today, all of this is fresh. Get prepared, but don’t push things too fast if you don’t feel ready.

Sagittarius 

With a New Moon occurring today, a door opens for change, dear Sagittarius, and with this lunation in your solar seventh house, it’s about your close relationships. This can be a new beginning in a current relationship or with someone new, or it can be about relating to others in healthier, more creative ways. The coming weeks are strong for appreciating the people close to you, partnering up to get things done faster or better, and opening up two-way conversations, negotiations, or consultations. This New Moon aligns with Mars, implying more courage and bravery, as well as a strong desire or need to make things happen, put problems behind you, and deal with problem areas directly. Use the positive traits that Mars stimulates, such as bravery, initiative, and straightforwardness, and avoid the more challenging traits, such as impatience and pushiness.

Capricorn

There has been a strong emphasis on habits, routine, health, skills, and work in your life in the past few weeks, dear Capricorn. Today’s New Moon brings in a chance to put new initiatives into action in these areas. This brings a wonderful opportunity for new project and program launches that help you to improve your wellbeing in vital ways. It’s time to take better care of yourself. Improving daily routines plays a big role in this. You could be loving what you do now, and bringing new, more creative, happier energy to your work. The coming weeks are strong for beginning a new fitness or nutrition program. There can be new tasks or priorities that invigorate you. Family may be involved in this with Mars, the ruler of your solar sector of home and family, aligned with the New Moon. Some of you may be setting up a home office or gym.

Aquarius

A New Moon occurs today, dear Aquarius, and it’s about turning over a new leaf. This is about reconnecting with your inner child in many ways, as you are encouraged to enjoy the many wonders of life through “play” – hobbies, games, creative pursuits, and entertainment are part of this. It’s also about expressing yourself more openly and freely, and about confidently pursuing your heart’s desire. This can be a rather romantic New Moon for some. It can be about an attitude change for others. New beginnings are favored in the coming weeks, particularly along the lines of new hobbies, finding different avenues for creative expression and entertainment, a new romance or a reinvigoration of an existing one, or discovering new ways to enjoy leisure time. A simple but powerful goal now could involve listening to your heart more often, or aiming to make the most out of any time off. With Mars heavily involved with this New Moon, you can draw upon more courage to express yourself or to connect with others in the coming weeks.

Pisces

There has been a stronger emphasis on your personal life in the past few weeks, dear Pisces, and the New Moon today brings even more power and energy to home and family matters. Personal concerns rather than worldly ones are in focus now, and the desire to begin anew, start fresh, or turn over a new leaf is with you. This sector of your chart is also about your support system, those things that make you feel secure and needed, and plans that aim to provide nurturance for many years to come. For some of you, there can be a move or renovations, and for others, significant family gatherings or activities. You may be investing in a home or things for your living space, reorganizing, or putting more effort into connecting in healthier, happier ways with the people you love.

Solstice Meditation and Activation June 2015

a message from Archangel Michael channeled by Celia Fenn

Solstice 2015 Activation
with Archangel Michael and the Sacred Circle Animal Spirits

You are most lovingly invited to join us on Sunday the 21st of June for a Global Meditation and Activation Event. You can join with us at any time during the day, as this will be a progressive wave of energy around the Planet. It is also World Water Healing Day and World Yoga Day, so there will be lots of great energy out there! I will be working with a group of friends at an Ancient Stone Circle in Mapumalange, South Africa that is known by the locals as “The Birthplace of the Sun”, and “The Stones from the Stars”. If anyone is in the area, you are welcome to join us, otherwise please join in the Meditation Wave.

The text for the Meditation/Activation is given below.
Part One : Activating the Diamond Heart

Begin by focussing into your Heart Center and breathing deeply. Connect with the Flame of Divine Diamond Light that lives in your Heart. As you breathe, expand that Diamond White Light into your Physical Body and your Light Body.

Now, feel the presence of Archangel Michael and his Angels of Light who are here to guide this work. Beloved Souls, as you breathe deeply again, move that White Light down your body, through your Base Chakra and feet, and down into the Earth, through the Earth Star Chakra and into the Earth Heart Center. Here you will find yourself in a beautiful Crystal Cave filled with Rainbow Light. You become aware of pulsations of light, as the Earth heart is breathing and pulsating in harmony with the pulsations of the Divine Cosmic Heart. As you breathe deeply again, allow your own heart to align with this heartbeat. Feel the deep Love and Compassion at the Core of the Earth and bring that back into your own loving and beautiful Diamond Heart. Just breathe deeply, and hold that energy for a while.

Now, again breathing deeply, allow that Diamond Light energy to rise up through your Crown Chakra and Soul Star Chakra, through the Galactic center to the Great Cosmic Heart. There you feel the pulsations of Divine Love and Compassion as you align with the Heart of God. Feel every particle of your Being becoming Diamond Light and aligning with the pulsations of the Divine Heart. Now, as you breathe deeply, allow this energy to return to your Heart and hold it there as you align Heaven and Earth in the frequencies, patterns and pulsations of the Divine Light.

Now, Beloved Ones, breathing deeply again, bring in the Diamond Divine Feminine energy. Feel the flow of Love, Passion, Strength, Wisdom and Compassion. Let this energy activate your Body and Light Body as you breathe deeply in the flow. Now bring in the Diamond Divine Masculine with its Clarity, Power, Integrity, Creativity and Loving Responsibility, and allow these energies to create a grid for the Flow of the Divine Feminine. Breathe deeply.

Now, Beloveds, as these energies center in your Heart, you will feel an explosion of Diamond White Fire in every cell as you activate the Diamond Heart energies.

Now rest, breathe deeply, and relax. The Diamond Heart Activation is complete!
Part Two: Sacred Circle for Calling the Animals into the Diamond Vortex

Using the Diamond Light Vortex that you have created in the Activation, you can now create a Sacred Circle that will be a conduit for Divine Love and Blessings for the Earth. The Circle is oriented to the North. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere you may wish to orient the circle to the South, that is passing from East to North to West to South.

See youself standing at the center of the Circle, whether literally or in vision, and face the EAST, the place of the Air and Sky and the Rising Sun and New Beginnings. Breate deeply and call in the Bird Tribes:

“Oh beautiful Spirits of the AIR, the Bird tribe of Earth, we call you now to Earth. We call the Great Eagles and the Hawks, and the messengers of Spirit, and we call all the winged creatures of the Air. We love you and we cherish you. We appreciate your Being and your gifts to the Earth. We ask you to stay with us and build the New Earth together with us. We express Diamond Gratitude for your presence and your gifts!”

Now face the SOUTH, the place of the WATERS, the place of flow, abundance and blessings. Breathe deeply and call all the beings who inhabit the Oceans and the Lakes and the Rivers of the Earth:

“Oh Spirits of the Waters, the Dolphins and Whales, the Seals and the Fishes and all the beings who swim in the waters, we call to you with love! We love you and we cherish you. We appreciate your Being and your gifts to the Earth. We ask you to stay here with us and manifest the New Earth together with us. We express Diamond Gratitude for your presence and your gifts.”

Now, breathe deeply and face the WEST, the place of FIRE and passion and call to all the land animals that walk and run on our Earth with the passion and fire of life in their hearts and bodies. “Oh Spirirts of the Animal World, The four legged ones whose presence brings us comfort and support, from the wild wolves and wild cats to those with whom we share the fires of our homes and hearths, we call out to you. Also to all the wild animals of the plains and mountains, we offer you our deep respect and love for what you are and that we can share our Earth with you. We love you and we cherish you. We appreciate your Being and your gifts to the Earth. We ask you to stay here with us and manifest the New Earth together with us. We express Diamond Gratitude for your presence and your gifts.”

Now, finally, breathe deeply again and turn to the NORTH, the place of EARTH and deep Wisdom and Love. Here we call forth the Spirit Animals and the Animals Guides, the White Lions, the White Whales, the White Buffalo, the Unicorns, the Dragons and all the Magical and Wise Beings who guide us.

“Oh wise ones, we call you to come to us and to be with us and work with us once again. Many have forgotten who you are and that you are gifts from the Stars, but we remember you and we honor you. We honor your wisdom and power and your guidance on the wheel of life. We honor the Earth as our home and we honor Spirit and all the Beings of Light, the Angels and those of the Spirit Animal realms who guide us home to the Light. We love you and we cherish you. We appreciate your Being and your gifts to the Earth. We ask you to stay here with us and manifest the New Earth together with us. We express Diamond Gratitude for your presence and your gifts.”

Return your attention now to your own Heart Space, and extend your Diamond Gratitude upwards to the Heart of God and downwards to the Heart of the Earth. Allow yourself and your circle to be a conduit or a channel for the flow of Divine Diamond Light and Blessings from the Heart of God to the Heart of the Earth. Feel yourself joining togethr with many other Sacred Circles and Sacred Diamond Hearts in a Circle of Loving Blessing and Diamond Gratitude to the Earth and All That Is!

And so it is Done. We Thank You! Breathe deeply and hold the energy for as long as you wish. Then thank all the Spirit Beings who have worked with you and release the Circle.

I will be making a Sound File to go with this in case you would like to do the Meditation and Activation in this way.

June 16

Sun Festival

In some of the more remote areas of Mexico, fragments of this ancient Peruvian festival can be found. To the ancients, the sun represented the supreme cosmic power and an all-seeing seeing deity. When it was coupled with the rain, it gave life to the earth. The Sun Festival was a celebration of power and beauty when the Sky Father and Earth Mother were conjoined in sacred marriage. Great bonfires, ecstatic dancing, and offerings ings were made to the Gods. Today, these festivals are less elaborate and usually end up being family picnics. However, one custom still remains: to burn one’s old clothing to banish sickness and bad luck.

Tuesday Is Ruled By Mars

Tuesday is a Mars day, and just like the god of war, this is the time to tap into magicks to call for strength and courage. This day of the week is for rebels and warriors. If you are facing a challenge of any kind, need a boost to your courage, or want to enhance your passions, Tuesday is the day of the week for you. Some suggestions for Tuesday enchantments would include:

*Wearing the fiery colors associated with this day: scarlet, red, black, and orange. Don some of the more daring and bewitching colors of your wardrobe on Tuesdays and turn a few heads

*Carrying a bloodstone in your pocket or wearing garnet-studded jewelry to reinforce your convictions

*Working with protective and fire-associated plants such as the snapdragon, thistle, and holly to boost your shields and bravery

Moon Moon, Mother Moon
Lunar Lore

The moon is called “triform,” because it presents itself
to us either round, or waxing with horns towards the east,
or waning with horns towards the west.
~ Brewer, “Dictionary of Phrase & Fable”.

The Egyptians worshipped the cat as a symbol of the moon,
not only because it is more active after sunset,
but from the dilation and contraction of its pupil,
symbolical of the waxing and waning of the night-goddess.
– Brewer, “Dictionary of Phrase & Fable”
