The July 1 “Diamond” Eclipse: Push back
Saturn’s your personal coach, kicking your ass all the way to the finish line. When he’s done with you, you’ll be huddled in a corner, weeping – or else stronger and more glittering than you ever imagined you could be.
June 1 Solar Eclipse in Gemini: Capture the Howling Wind
We don’t tend to think of Gemini as a demanding sign, or as one of strong convictions. But the Sabian Symbol for this Gemini Moon offers a portrait of someone who refuses to be subservient. The same message can be seen in the Sun and Moon’s close trine to Saturn at this New Moon: it’s time to claim your authority and to speak up for things that matter.

Mercury Retrograde: Doublespeak and ticking time bombs
Last December, Mercury turned retrograde at 6 Capricorn, near Pluto. At the time, I wrote about Mercury drawing us into the “darker woods” of ugly truths about ourselves and our world.
