This is the solstice, the still point
of the sun, its cusp and midnight,
the year’s threshold
and unlocking, where the past
lets go of and becomes the future;
the place of caught breath, the door
of a vanished house left ajar…

Fiery full moon in Sagittarius, the great seeker and explorer. If you’re feeling feisty and restless, blame it on the moon! Even Lady Liberty is a bit hot under the collar right now.
This is a great time to explore a place you’ve never been before — that is, if you have been released from strict quarantine in your state. If you cannot get out and about, think about using this sacred full moon time to explore a topic that intrigues you.
Become an intrepid explorer. Expand your wisdom and awareness now.
Whatever you do over the next few days, try to keep your mood set to calm, cool and chillax.

New moon in airy Gemini, joined by the Sun, Mercury and Venus. We are awash in wild Gemini energies for the next few days.
Let the trickster games begin! Try to relax and enjoy the carnival ride that Gemini loves to create. Shape-shift into your child self and look for the magic. It’s here all around, if you look. Coyote Gemini always brings magic.
Avoid getting too mental and over-thinking things (Gemini’s shadow). If you try to make sense of the world right now, you will only make yourself crazy. So, let your hair down and unleash you inner 4 year old!
Flip off the news. Literally, flip it off!
Sing a silly song. Waltz down the supermarket aisle. Play with your food. Talk like a munchkin. Make monster faces. You can return to responsible adulthood in a few days. But for now, giggle and wiggle and make some fun.
Full moon in Scorpio, the queen of watery, emotional depths. Raw, wild emotion is all around us.
Yes, life is chaotic and difficult to fathom right now. Yes, reality is shifting. And yes, you probably want to crawl under the covers and stay there for a good long while. Quite understandable in these crazy times.
Spiral into the heart of whatever you are feeling. Simply breathe and stay with your feelings. Allow yourself to be present with whatever comes up. Breathe and feel it all.
The way out is through.

New moon in sensual, earthy Taurus. Mama Earth is calling.
In these wild quarantine times, a connection to Mama Earth is more important than ever. Find a way to maintain social distancing and GET OUTSIDE!
Venture out to a nearby park, garden, trail or natural space where you can walk or sit. Breathe in life sprouting and blooming all around you. Revel in the beauty and abundance of spring.
Ask Mama Earth to hold you, support you, calm you. With her help, you can come back to ground and connect with what truly matters.

Airy full moon in Libra, lover of fair, egalitarian relationships. In the midst of pandemic chaos, all of our relationships have been altered. But within chaos, deep lasting change is also possible.
Examine your relationships. How do you choose to move through the world and relate to others?How do you relate to Mama Earth and all her creatures?
Most important of all, how do you relate to your own heart, body and Soul? Your relationship with your Self is key to whatever you wish to create in this life.
Look deeply, unflinchingly, lovingly at all your relations. Now is the time.
New moon in Aries, the fiery sign of the spiritual warrior. We are entering the fire of initiation now. These times are wild and scary and unpredictable. Any sense of control is lost as our world is upended. How this will end is unclear. Call in your spiritual support.
Breathe! Surrender to not knowing and not being in control. Simply feel whatever arises in you. Be gentle with yourself and everyone around you.
Now is the time to open your heart WIDE. The depth and power of the human heart can lead you through this. And you will be transformed.
Breathe. Allow your Heart to crack wide open. Surrender to what is.
