While Monday features a New Moon, it doesn’t occur until much later in the day, close to when Tuesday is on the near horizon. As such, during the majority of the day we are in the dark of the Moon, a time for reflection and introspection.
As Tuesday emerges, we may more clearly feel the energetic impulse for initiation and beginnings that the New Moon carries. This one features the Sun and Moon in versatile Gemini. It inspires us to plant new seeds when it comes to what we desire to learn and share. Consider ways to hone your language skills, expand your lexicon, and sharpen your communication prowess, and craft an intention (or two, given Gemini is the sign of the twins) to that aim.
Additionally, given that Mercury, the planetary ruler of Gemini, makes a sweet sextile to Neptune on Monday make a little time to drift and dream. Opening yourself up to passively receiving insights rather than actively going after them may not only be a winning strategy to expand awareness but one that also brings more ease and less stress.
The emphasis on the generation of ideas and understanding continues to thread itself through the week given that Friday features the Mercury Cazimi, a meet-up of the messenger planet and the Sun. Consider conversations as portals to access awareness and forge connections. One or several passing thoughts may undergo a distillation that has them greater infused with clarity and purpose. Value the power of inquiries, honoring them as sherpas that help you travel to new realms of understanding.
As the weekend emerges, we may find our relationship ouch spots rising to the surface thanks to the Venus/Chiron Conjunction. If you find yourself being triggered or poked, be tender and do what you can to avoid battling yourself. Remember that well-etched patterns are just that and yet they aren’t necessarily indelible or forever; hold space for what’s emerging and see if adding in a generous dose of compassion and/or forgiveness doesn’t but soften and/or release tension and upset.
Additionally, over these days we may see that experiences we’ve moved through—whether in partnerships, alliances, expressing ourselves as artists, and/or our financial journey—may help others who are going through similar experiences. Disseminating the jewels of what we’ve learned may be just the medicine that another needs. And, in that experience we may find ourselves even more connected to the fabric that weaves us together with others, creating moments in which we’re touched by the beauty of our shared humanity.
All my very best,

Seattle Sessions + AstroSalon
I’m so excited to be back in Seattle for the month of June.
If you’ve been wanting to do an in-person session, I’d love to meet with you, whether we’ve worked together before or it would be our first time. You can sign up here for an astrology guidance session or here for a family constellation session. Sessions will be held in West Seattle.
I’m also excited to be hosting a small group AstroSalon on June 15. We’ll explore ways to galvanize our well-being over the coming years, keying into the opportunities and challenges that Saturn and Neptune in Aries will yield. In addition to collective guidance, everyone will receive personalized insights based upon their astrology chart. We’ll have spritzes, sparkling water, and snacks in addition to our deep dive conversations. As my AstroSalons can be a great experience to share with a friends, I’m offering a discount when two people sign up together. For more information and to register, see this page.
And, as always, if you have any questions about my sessions or the gathering, don’t hesitate to write me.
