Cancer (Summer) Solstice June 21, 2023

The energetic tones of the forthcoming 3 months arrive via the Sun’s ingress of Cancer on June 21st, 2023.

Solstice energies are reflecting the theme of transition from conditions and situations that were predominant in our lives during the past 18 months as the Moon’s Nodes transited the Taurus/Scorpio axis.

Mid July the Nodes shift into the Aries/Libra axis.

With the ongoing square from Pluto to the Moon’s nodes we have likely felt pressured to shift direction in at least one area of our lives the past weeks.

Sun and Juno in aspect to Pluto, via quincunx, may feel as if we were/are operating in the gray with no concise clear direction forward.

The Sun, just separated from Pluto, moves to aspect the Nodal axis and we may now find our situations require a radical reorientation, emotionally and/or structurally.

A vitalization of new commitments may rest upon the dissolution of others as witnessed by the aspects of the Sun to the Nodal axis.

Also notable is a favoring of the Sun by both Jupiter in Taurus and Saturn in Pisces which can lend a grounding and/or expansion to new and existing forms that previously felt elusive and/or “lost” to us.

This year we are favored by a Leo Moon at Solstice, placing our luminaries in the sign of the other’s rulership. Moon is in a lovely forming novile to Sun/Juno after recently separating from a square to Jupiter.

This is a rather vivacious, hope-filled Moon and as she moves to a conjunction with Venus and then Mars (rulers of the current transiting Nodal positions) there is a fostering of a desire for couplings that allow us expression of our creative and playful drives.

Go Ask Rumi; Neptune opp Sun transit

 Transiting Neptune opposes my Sun once again. Though this be the last full on the mouth smooch my Sun receives from this Fairy Tale weaver I am unable to glean a single fruitful purpose for this long waltz.

This has not been an easy transit. Meningitis during the Saturn-Neptune square to my Sun altered my thought processes and rearranged memories. I’ve fallen in love over and over; with people and art and music…and it’s been lonely and tiring. No thing has crystallized. No thing has returned the love. Ego-less giving; the lesson. I have yet to make the grade I think…maybe.

So ruminating on exactly this as I had my hands submerged in water(Neptune) preforming the necessary chore of dish washing (Virgo Sun) I received a directive. “Go ask Rumi”.

Ok. I love Rumi. I’m all over this.

BTW..Rumi has/had a natal Sun Neptune Opposition

 

Rumi advises:

Excerpt from “A Great Wagon” Interpretation Coleman Barks

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase “each other”
doesn’t make any sense.
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.” ~Rumi

 

And then this:

“When I am silent I fall into that place where everything is music.” ~Rumi

Yes.

Yes..this.

Thank You Rumi.

I Love You.

More Forthcoming…
