Taurus Balsamic Moon
—June 7

The moon moves away from a very early morning connection to Uranus by conjunction, simultaneously illuminating a building square between Uranus and Saturn, to be exact again this month for the second of three squares on the fifteenth… a moon which seeks security and stability is seemingly illuminating anything but.

Consider that today’s reflections and manifestations may be offering you opportunities for stable grounded-ness so that you may open yourself to receive more insightful reveries…

Try, always, to see the opportunity within the obstacle.

These energies will build until mid-month, when Saturn and Uranus square for the second time this year, and this will occur through a degree that associates itself to pushing forward… toward rebuilding, learning from mistakes, and ‘crawling out from under an oppressive situation once one has seen the light of day…’ though also ‘warily entering a new scene; living in an operative fiction’, and really, overall, for the sake of it all: entertaining an innate curiosity.

A true curiosity toward an operative fiction… hmmmm, that’ll be something, yes!?

At this stage, through the moon’s illumination of it—it’s possible we’re at the phase of toughening up in preparation.

With everything occurring now, in seemingly all directions, it is probably best to take it all in slowly, in a mindfulness of preparation, and in a spirit of peripheral trust.

At the same time, Saturn and Chiron are building upon a second sextile, to be exact on June 23rd, the second of three, through a degree that somewhat perpetuates a mentality of preparedness, patience, and perseverance… and whatever triggers you’re already beginning to feel—these might resolve themselves quite naturally, or perhaps the dreaded and dramatic damage imagined could defuse itself entirely.

Or. And perhaps more opportunistically… these triggers—perhaps these are but alarms for you to acknowledge and look deeper into an underlying meaning, or issue.

This said—these results will still need to be prepared on your part… your triggers will not go away of themselves, but will need to be participated in—you’ll need to do the necessary work… it would seem as though the healing will only occur if the hard part is properly acknowledged and addressed, and making adjustments when things don’t go as planned.

❝If happiness is what you’re after, then you are going to be let down frequently and be unhappy much of your time. Joy, though, is something else. It’s not a choice, not a response to some result, it is a constant. Joy is the feeling we have from doing what we are fashioned to do, no matter the outcome.❞ ——Matthew McConaughey
