The astrological progressions of 2020 are certainly causing a stage of monumental chaos, trials and transformations.
A new season is upon us as we welcome in the Winter Solstice to provide comfort, respite and reflection.

Emotional sensitivity will be felt this month as we have the Sun
entering Cancer on June 21 and in close connection a New Moon Solar Eclipse along with Mercury beginning to slow down and turn retrograde also in the home loving sign of Cancer.

Ruler of the Moon, Cancer highlights women, the emotions and our moods and is dependent on feelings and instincts.

The good news this month is the planet of love and pleasure turns direct June 25, eloquently dancing her way forward Venus in Gemini will bring progress and developments in our social and romantic relationships.

Mercury retrograde in Cancer June 18 brings household matters to our attention
with the home and family being are main concerns. Renovations, projects,
repairs and or replacements are all possible under this Mercury retrograde. Reconciliations and rekindling may
provide emotional release with moments of reminiscing, remembering
the past and recapturing the memories of days gone by. We may feel more reclusive and moody and need to reassure
our family members and children with gentle communication. This Mercury retrograde
will generate an opportunity to restore our health and abode. Relaxation,
cooking, retreating, renovating, domestic comforts and loving care foster
recovery and respite from the sensitive concerns of the world.

Neptune stationing retrograde in Pisces will be a phase
of reconnection with our soul, a rediscovering of our inner essence. The relationship
with our private self needs restoring and reflecting upon, internal growth and
a chance to develop our skills in spiritual, supernatural and alternative
therapies. Writing down or listening to any songs can arouse feelings bringing
moments of enlightenment. Neptune retrograde can awaken your musical talents, so
it is a productive time for artists and musicians. A time of soul retrieval, relying
on your intuition, forgiveness, meditation and dream work. Psychic and health-giving
abilities will be beneficial and allowing for any soothing energy to flow through
you. Art, water therapy and music can bestow much beauty and healing.

On June 28 the planet of war Mars will arrive in fiery
Aries rushing in to ignite our passions and generate exciting possibilities. We
can use the force of Aries to drive our dreams forward but must be mindful of
rushing and tripping over our own impatient and hot headed tempers. Mars in
Aries used in its lowest vibration can initiate anger, ego conflicts, physical
violence and the use of weapons, aggression, fights, competitiveness and passionate
conflicts. Mars used in its highest frequency can provide the masculine energy
and action to prompt positive change and leadership creating a strong, fair and
protective direction. This energetic fighter will be vigorously leading us
until January 2021 redirecting us to positive change helping to us to find our
voice and bravery rather than use negative force to conquer.

Saturn lord and master will be returning in Capricorn and
asking us to pull back and return to our responsibilities as there is more work
to do and any unfinished business will need our consideration. The past will
need recovering and anything previously forgotten or lost in history will
require remembering and rebuilding for any resurrection and mending to occur.
Saturn in Capricorn is teaching us that effort, patience, endurance and
perseverance presents us with the great rewards during these periods of tests,
challenges and necessary obstacles eventually granting self-mastery and the
maturation experience.

Chiron known to be the great healer and wise teacher
begins its retrograde motion from July 12 in Aries prompting an examination of
our deeply felt wounds and a triggering of old pain, so that a retrieval, restoration
and wholeness can occur. Any area in our lives that require healing whether physical
and or emotional illness should be patiently worked through. Chiron in Aries
rules over our assertion and courage, we may be afraid to speak our truth, fear
our own anger, unable to express our real authentic selves even sparking a
personal identity crisis. Our health is vitally important at this time as this
is a period of great innermost learning. Whilst exploring the depths of our
pain we can begin the journey of internal improvement, bringing self-acceptance
and wisdom thus transcending that suffering into knowledge and a guiding light
for others.

Happy Birthday Cancer

on the same day as the Winter Solstice delivering a chance for you to begin
again on a new footing to leave the past and your fears behind, revealing new
options and possibilities for your life. As Cancers have been going through major
transformations in their relationships, forcing an inner purging and requiring
to face your fears of intimacy and change. Pluto has brought about intense
relating with periods of death and rebirth. Major themes in your inner most relationships may
have resulted in deep issues of secrecy, closeness, addictions, power and
control. A stripping away, peeling and reconnecting have been needed for personal
breakthroughs and gaining hidden strength. Any past problems and hidden issues
have bought you much profound moments of pain and healing. With Saturn and lucky
Jupiter also in the mix mature decisions are required for long lasting
stability. Letting go of stagnant, controlling and or abusive relationships will

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer June 21

Fresh beginnings are promised during this receptive New
Moon as she forms a close connection with the South Node urging us to set out
on a new path. Our feelings can be intensified and as this New Moon is in square to
Neptune we may also be feeling more disillusioned and confused. Taking the time
out to review your options, getting clear and reassessing your dreams are
needed. Likewise Mars is making a tight square with this Cancer Moon causing
emotional and physical tension. Something hidden may be brought into our
awareness prompting a deep desire for change. Are you feeling at home? Are you
clinging to your comfort zone and hiding under a bushel? Do you nurture, care
and provide need to others? Wanting to have a child? Caring for our mothers or
our need to be mothers might be another motivation during this home loving
emotionally sensitive New Moon. If you have been waiting to start something brand new
than under the glow of this New Moon you have the potential to create something
promising and long lasting.

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse July 5

This powerful Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is the final eclipse
in Capricorn finally ending a two year cycle. Saturn is now the authority again
at least until December. Any feelings of repression will be in the spotlight.
Our unfinished business can now be worked through and brought back to life our
ambitions and endurance will reward us for transformation, change and a
resurrection. Emotional tensions are possible as this moon is making a square to
Mars and in opposition to the Sun and Mercury. Our needs may be in conflict
with that of family members and relationships. Communication difficulties could
make feelings extreme as the concerns of others could affect your desire for
personal success and achievement. Balancing home with work needs to be a
priority and reassessed. Fairness and learning to accommodate will assist us and
it is important we rely on our own innermost values and not surrender to
outside pressure.
