Monday, June 13th:
Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday evening. We're strongly motivated to explore and learn. We're not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we're also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.
We tend to feel more open, optimistic, and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together means we'd rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders.
Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren't overdoing or overstating things.
Monday late morning, at 11:27am EDT, Mercury re-enters chatty, versatile Gemini where it will journey until July 5th; due to its recent Retrograde phase, it was already in Gemini from April 29th until May 22nd.
Think back to those dates and ask yourself: Did I have any conversations that I need to revisit? Was there any information (especially in connection with learning or understanding something) that I wanted to go after?
For the next 3 weeks, our thinking shifts gears: Mercury -- the energy of communication -- will pick up the pace of our lives just a little.
Mental exchanges and abilities take priority for the next 3 weeks -- talking, writing, sharing, and connecting to the world around us in whatever way we can (internet, phone, in person, TV, radio...). This is a time with great potential for studying and learning, curiosity and open-mindedness, and social/intellectual growth.
Make sure you don't exhaust yourself during this time. As best as you can, keep taking breaks and let yourself see the larger picture now and again. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will feel the pick up in pace more strongly.
Monday evening, we have lots of energy and a positive attitude towards life. As best as you can, start something you feel passionate or enthusiastic about -- what projects come to mind? What would be a fantastic use for all the physical energy that you have currently access to? (Moon in Sagittarius trines Mars in Aries, exact at 6:05pm EDT)
Also on Monday evening, we might find ourselves wanting to explore a new healing modality for body, mind, and heart, aimed at a renewing our enthusiasm for life. We are capable of being compassionate and forgiving with ourselves at this time -- and a gentle and holistic approach is best. (Moon in Sagittarius trines Chiron in Aries, exact at 7:57pm EDT)
Monday late evening, we experience a need for inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to mentally explore and go beyond what we already know — and on the other hand, the need for breakthroughs or change connected to the physical plane.
We need to ask ourselves here: What might become possible if I got 5% more comfortable with being uncomfortable? Or 5% more comfortable embracing uncertainty? (Moon in Sagittarius quincunxes Uranus in Taurus, exact at 9:40pm EDT)
