Mercury in Gemini Square Saturn in Virgo June 2009 - Take A Larger View

by Robert Wilkinson

Right now and for the next few days, Mercury is square Saturn. I've observed this influence narrows the view, and makes for somewhat pessimistic or rigid thinking and interpretations around what's happening.

The New Moon falls at 2 Cancer on June 22, 2009, 12:35 pm PDT, 8:11 pm Greenwich, 5:11 am July 23 in Melbourne, Australia. This New Moon in close opposition to Pluto marks a clear definition of the Bucket pattern shooting a massive amount of energy through Saturn's practical and discriminating focus. This begins Summer and the season of working to nurture what must be nurtured, while eliminating the weeds in the garden of personality. Many decisions and actions will be initiated that stabilize our well being for purely practical purposes.

Summer Solstice 2009 - What's Coming in July, August, and September

by Robert Wilkinson

The Summer Solstice falls on June 20 at 10:46 pm PDT, June 21 CDT and points east. It's the longest day of the year, and said to be the point at which "free will" acts more powerfully than any other time. It is a point of decision, and kicks off Summer, the season of work, play, productivity, and lots of sunshine for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. If you're "down under," remember to have a little compassion for us up here in the north when December 21, the Winter Solstice, rolls around and we're freezing while you're enjoying the beach! What follows are some hints as to what we all can expect to experience over the next 3 months, regardless of where we live.
