MThe month of June begins andends with a glorious full Moon, thesecond Moon of the calendar month,which is more commonly referred to asa Blue Moon. Add this to the fact thatit is also the changing of the seasons,solstice time, and we know that we havean interesting month ahead.You may read articles that state thatthe double full Moon falls in the monthof May, and that is so, for those wholive in the Western Hemisphere. In theEastern Hemisphere, with a differenttime frame, the Moon is full in the earlyhours of the morning on the 1st day ofJune.Blue Moons are not as rare as the oldsaying would have us believe, we haveanother lined up for December 2009,so although not rare, we could say theyare not common. The Moon does notchange her cycle and the calendar isjust a measurement of time, but we canexpect a time of heightened emotions.Full Moons are associated withromance, madness, water andemotions. The first full Moon in Juneis in Sagittarius, opposing the GeminiSun. Jupiter is involved in this line upand serves to enhance and magnify.This positive, enthusiastic, expansiveand abundant energy is wonderful, andcan work wonders if one is short onconfidence. It is important to modifythe magnification aspect, and keepexpectations in perspective and inproportion.People who have birthdays withina few days of the 1st June, December,March and September could be personallyinvolved and would be wise to takeheed. Be alert to possibilities, enjoythe positive, optimistic feelings, just bemindful of keeping perspective.This can be a very positive time ifone needs to accomplish anythingthat requires physical energy. Excessemotional energy can be worked outin the gym, climbing a mountain orworking in the garden.Tackling a marathon clear out incupboards, home, garage or office, isthe perfect practical way to use physicaland emotional energy in a positive manner.It is vital to keep the lines of communicationopen and wherever possiblenegotiate to avoid ultimatums.The time of the first full moonworks best if you listen to the heartCosmicDirectionsBernadette Medderof Cosmic DirectionsConsultant and Teachersince 1993021 794 4150 orcosmicdirections@icon.co.zaBlue Moonbut make decisions using the head.The time of the Blue Moon on the 30thJune requires some good old practicalCapricorn sensibility but if gut instinctis working well, emotional decisions,made from the heart, can work out successfully.WINTER SOLSTICEWhen the sun moves in to the signof Cancer on the 21st, it heraldsthe start of a new season. Around thistime, in the Southern Hemisphere, wecelebrate the Winter Solstice, when theSun is furtherest from the earth, thedays are short, the nights are long, andnature rests. This period coincides withthe last direct contact between Saturnand Neptune before Saturn picks upspeed and moves forward.We have discussed this cosmic dancein detail in previous issues of Biophilebut in brief, once you have completedthe ground work and laid the foundation,you can now prepare to restructure,redefine, and get ready to rebuildany area of your life that seems to havedissolved or unravelled.The astrological message of thiswinter Solstice is to work withwhat you have, rather than what youwish you had, pay attention to thedetail, but don’t nitpick, negotiateand compromise rather than demandand issue ultimatums. This is a time ofnurturing and building up strength.JULY NEW MOON in Cancer continueswith the emphasis on emotionsbut also has an adventurous theme.Despite the shorter, colder days andthe tendency to hibernate, this couldbe a time to step out of the comfortsof home, have some fun, break someboundaries and personal limitations.This is also a time to think aboutlong-range plans and goals. Anyonewith a birthday within a few days of the14th July and January will be personallyinvolved in this planetary dynamic. Asthe Moon comes to it’s full position atthe end of July there may be more clarityabout the challenges involved, whereand what the obstacles are and who willtravel this journey with you.The emphasis here is on identificationof our individual ego needs vs.others in our lives and their needs andthe necessary compromise between thetwo.MAKING CHOICESIS YOUR GREATESTPOWERYou can decide to alter the courseof your life at any time.No one can ever take that awayfrom you.You can do what you want to doand be who you want to be.Nature is constantly at work aroundyou.Character and destiny are herhandiwork.She gives you love and hate,jealousy and reverence.You have the power to choose whichimpulse you follow.While your character is formed byyour circumstances, your desirescanshape those circumstances.The one thing over which youhave absolute control is your ownthoughts.It is this that puts you in a positionto control your own destiny.Your greatest power is the power tochoose.~Daily Guru64 Biophile Issue 15
