commit. choose. act.

​

did last week's gemini new moon and mercury cazimi shift your perception?  did it stir a new dialogue with yourself, a loved one, your work or life's direction?  perhaps a message arrived that confirmed where your soul is ready to grow next.

​

june arrives with a breath of fresh inspiration and forward momentum. if you’ve felt suspended in limbo or unclear about your next steps, this month’s cosmic currents begin to part the fog. clarity returns, direction emerges, and the energies align to support the manifestation of long-held desires and intentions.

 

the first week of june kicks off with a first quarter moon in virgo at 12 degrees on monday.  this is your celestial clue to take grounded action on the seeds you planted under the gemini new moon.  as the moon waxes and light returns, so does clarity, helping you see the path that's now unfolding during this gemini lunar cycle (locate where 6.06 degrees gemini lives in your chart for where this new path is unfolding).

​

first quarter moons are initiatory.  they ask us to commit, choose, act.  this phase is about building momentum, about following curiosity with courage.  it also marks a 9 month milestone since the virgo new moon on september 3rd 2024.  look back.  what intention did you seed at that time?  how has that story evolved?  what's the next step?  reflect on how a story that began back in september has evolved or reached a new phase.

​

meanwhile, jupiter is completing its transit through gemini (may 25, 2024 to june 9th, 2025) preparing to shift into cancer.  we are now invited to reflect on the wisdom this year long transit has offered.  over the past year, the great expander has moved through the sign of the mind, merging intuition and intellect, right brain and left brain.  we've been stretched to gather, explore, question, and connect the dots, to recognize that each moment and each thought has the power to shape our reality . . . and that your truth directs your path.

​

with jupiter still square the nodal axis, it's also been a karmic check-in.  where has fear or doubt led you to play small?  have you compensated instead of committing?

​

on sunday, mercury (the ruler of gemini) meets up with jupiter at 29 degrees gemini - the final, karmically loaded degree of the sign.  this conjunction may bring a revelation, a turning point, or a moment of clarity.  it's a moment of culmination:  "i've absorbed all this data but what do i know in my bones?" "what belief is ready to replace an old thought loop?" "what truth needs to be spoken . . .now?"  consider how your mindset has evolved over the past year.  what stories have you outgrown?  what inner truth wants to shape your next chapter?  how as your voice become a tool for healing, clarity or manifestation?

​

immediately after this powerful conjunction, mercury shifts into cancer, moving from mind to heart, from air to water.  communication softens.  intuition rises.  logic makes space for feeling.  expect a shift toward emotional resonance, memory and gut instinct.  speak to soothe.  think to feel.  listen with your whole body.  further softening the cosmic landscape - venus returns to her home sign of taurus on friday through to july 4th.  from an evolutionary astrology perspective, this transit offers a powerful invite to reclaim your core self-worth, ground into sensuality and slowness and align with nature's rhythms.  this is a beautiful time to reestablish inner security, honor your body as a temple and root into what is genuinely self-sustaining.  slow down and enjoy life's pleasures.

​

let love become a ritual.  let beauty be the anchor.  let desire show you where you truly belong.  let truth guide you.
