Hello and Welcome to my weekly Star Cast, where I bring you the update on what’s happening in the world of astrology – and how you can apply the wisdom to enrich your life here on earth.

My key phrase for this week is: Inner Security

This is the week that invites you to surrender and invite all that is lush and fertile into your world.  Summer Solstice arrives a bit early this year, on June 20th, and the wisdom that is Mother Earth invites you to get in tune with the season.

You may know that Solstice means ‘Stand Still; and it’s actually a 3 day period when the sun has reached its most northern point in the sky. In the southern hemisphere, it’s actually mid-winter. So, for folks down under, keep warm and get cozy.

For people in the northern hemisphere, it’s the season of the longest days, and it’s a time when the Light of spirit is more illuminated.

Solstice Message

Solstice is a season of reconciliation; a time to evaluate and prepare for the next harvest . This week also delivers supportive planetary aspects. On Solstice (Tuesday) Venus sextile Neptune invites you to experience the Light; to unite with nature, to touch, see, feel, and breathe in the exquisite world that is possible. Venus sextile Neptune is an aspect of dance and harmony.

And, Mercury Sextile Uranus reminds us that we are best served when we name what we DO want as opposed to focusing on what we do not want. Mercury sextile Uranus engages your mind and offers pathways to ground the inspiration provided by Venus and Neptune.

Wednesday would be a great day for a mini pilgrimage. Wednesday, as the Sun joins Mercury, make time to visit a place that inspires you to communicate with, and listen to, your inner wisdom.

The Divine Mother – Cancer New Moon

On Friday, June 23rd, we welcome the Cancer new moon. Cancer is a fruitful water sign that reinforces all types of nurturing.

Cancer teaches us all about true security, and the Cancer new moon comes to remind us that there is a safe harbor to be found in the midst of any storm.

The deeper spiritual lesson of Cancer is to regain balance, unify our lives, heal ourselves, and overcome the apparent limitations of the physical world.

The most powerful tools on this earthly plane are sharing and love. When we connect with the Divine Mother, we move beyond to physical world to the spiritual world.

Wishing you many blessings as you reach for the stars!
